Unique Watches for Men

From , former About.com Guide

It truly is amazing... the thousands and thousands of watch styles for both men and women. And it was difficult to choose just a few for this collection of men's watches. All are somewhat unique, in design and in function. I hope the selections will help you find the perfect watch, either for yourself or for a special gift.

Expedition Altimeter WatchNational Geographic
If an altimeter would be the perfect addition to the perfect watch, give this design a second look. It displays your current altitude and remembers your minimum and maximum records, no matter whether you're below sea level or on one of the world's highest mountaintops. A digital barometric sensor controls the altimeter (range: -400 to 25,000 feet). Night lighting makes it possible to see the display in the dark.

The 50 mm watch case is black stainless steel with a brushed finish and mineral glass crystal face.
