Enduring features to look for if you want to get your arm active

1/ Chronograph

Defines any watch, mechanical or quartz, that serves as a stopwatch. Simple chronographs have an independent sweeping hand that can be started and stopped by pressing a pair of buttons on either side of the winder.

2/ Tachymeter

These markers around the edge of some chronographs can be

used to measure speed or distance. For speed, start the stopwatch and where the second hand is pointing after a mile indicates your pace.

3/ Monobloc

This is a watch case made from one piece of ceramic or stainless steel. Hint: they’re more resistant to knocks and drops.
