In a job that requires long hours, constant focus, and a sharp mind, nurses and other medical professionals need all the help they can get. As such, we see an increasing trend of what marketers like to call nursing watches or nurses’ watches. These are regular watches designed to fit the craziness and mayhem of a nurse’s daily job.
The best medical watches must be comfortable to wear, water-resistant, easy to clean (especially the band), and have great visibility.
As you will see from our reviews below, the best watches for nurses also must be accurate. In addition, they need to be oriented around the tasks of a medical professional such as taking the pulse or accurately stating the time in both 12 and 24h formats.
We haven’t reviewed any lapel watches or watches designed to attach nurse’s belt loop in this article but will consider them for a later post.
