Police Watches

The Suunto Core is an outdoor watch with features that make it a great fit for military use. It is equipped with an altimeter, barometer, and a digital compass – the three sensors that let you know about changes in air pressure and help with navigation (which comes in handy in unfamiliar terrain).

The data collected by the sensors are also used in creating a weather trend graph and delivering reliable storm alerts. The storm alert is activated by a sudden drop in air pressure over a three-hour period, which means you’ll know about it while the sky is still blue. The alarm has both sound and flashing lights, so it’s difficult to miss.

The watch also has preset sunrise/sunset times for over 400 locations and tracks changes in elevation (within 30,000 feet accuracy). This data can be useful when you’re monitoring progress (it can store up to 7 days of data in the local memory). In addition, the altimeter is extremely useful in finding your position using a topographic map.

Watches in the Suunto Core collection have a very useful feature – the start-from-zero function that eliminates the need of entering a reference altitude. You just press a button and the altimeter will start doing its job.

The watch supports several alarms (with snooze), has a digital thermometer, stopwatch, countdown timer, and other features that come handy for people who work outdoors. On the surface, the design is rugged and durable, just what you’d expect from an outdoor watch.

The black silicone band and black carbon reinforced case don’t distract the eye from the main attention – the digital dial. The face of the watch is large and easy to read, and there are side buttons to change the modes and make adjustments.

Lastly, the watch has a discreet backlighting system, meaning you can still read it in low light conditions without pointing to your location.

The G-Shock collection is well-known among people who need a watch that doesn’t break and offers a series of reliable features.

This model, for instance, comes with 4 daily alarms with 1 snooze, a chronograph, 1/100 second stopwatch, world time, 31 times zones (48 cities + UTC), city code display, daylight saving on/off, and hourly time signal.

The watch uses multi-band atomic timekeeping (for regions in the US, the UK, Germany, Japan, China), and has a full-auto calendar that’s ready to go until 2099. It displays the time in both 12h and 24h formats and has a countdown timer.

To make things even more impressive, the watch uses solar power to recharge and one charge can last up to 10 months. Furthermore, it doesn’t need direct solar light – Casio’s technique makes it possible to recharge the battery from a fluorescent lamp, with the same rate of success.

In addition, the watch is equipped with Casio’s full auto EL Backlight with afterglow, which allows users to check their dial without shining a bright light all around.

The face may look a bit crowded, but once you get used to the G-Shock interface, it will feel extremely natural. The time is displayed in digital format and is easy to read.

If you ever found the G-shock watch face and interface too complex for your taste, but loved the durability and reliability, this is the perfect design for your needs. The face is big (50mm case diameter) and easy to read as the watch only has a few functions (hourly time signal, multi-function alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, and countdown timer).

The time is displayed in digital format (12 & 24h) and there is a full auto-calendar (pre-programmed until the year 2099). The adjustments are performed via the four side buttons, and, due to EL Backlight with afterglow, you can see the information clearly even in low light conditions.

Overall, this G-Shock design features a solid build (shock, water, and magnetic resistant), with lightweight and durable materials, and a very simple interface. It has all the basic features a tactical person would need, and it is highly reliable.

Samsung designed the Galaxy smartwatch as a fitness wearable that looks and feels like a classic analog timepiece. And they managed to do a fantastic job!

The built-in sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyro sensor, HR sensor, and light sensor) keep track of your activities, the intensity of the workout, and more. When connected to the accompanying app, the data is used to create graphs and charts that showcase your progress in time.

In addition to this, users can connect with various IoT devices around the house (TV, vacuum cleaner, smart speaker), supporting the smart home concept.
