Watches can be made from a variety of materials. As you probably know, some materials hold up better than others when put to daily use. Cheaper materials used in many watches are fine for occasional use, but fail when applied to rigorous applications.
Some of the toughest watches available today are police issue watches, military watches and watches designed for the sporting enthusiast. Materials used in these watches are made of sturdier materials... and as a result, they are desired timepieces for the outdoors and indoors man alike.
Perhaps the finest material that can be used to ensure that a watch will be rugged, tough and durable is titanium.
Here's why titanium watches hold up better:
o Stronger Than Steel - titanium is actually stronger than steel. This so called "space age metal" was, up until the 1970's, used mainly by the aerospace industry for the construction of jet planes and space craft since it provided up to 30 times more strength than steel. When it began to be used for watches, it naturally made them more durable than many other time pieces;
o Very Comfortable - they are very comfortable when worn on your wrist... and surprisingly light. That's because titanium is nearly 50% lighter than steel. You will immediately notice how much more light a titanium watch is than one made of steel;
o Hypoallergenic -- - titanium watches are hypoallergenic... and nickel free. As a result they're comfortable to wear even when perspiring. That makes titanium a desirable material when the watch will be used in high heat and outdoor activities;
o Corrosion Resistant - titanium forms a tight oxide film when it's exposed to the atmosphere. That film provides a protection against corrosion that other metals (like steel) don't. Consequently titanium watches are rust resistant... and are especially resistant to salt water corrosion, making them an ideal watch for sports and the outdoors; and
o Attractive - titanium is attractive in appearance. Despite it's ruggedness and extreme durability, watches made of titanium fit right in when worn for social functions, nights on the town and more... They're adaptable to any environment.
A titanium sports watch with the above features will provide you with many years of rugged dependable timekeeping.
