Watches are of various types. They can be widely categorized on the basis of their utility and the cost as well which determines the features and functions available on the watch. The price ranges start from $2.00 or $3.00 and goes way up to thousands of dollars.

There is no end to surprises that new technology can throw up. The latest is the use of GPS watches to put you in proper shape. These watches work like a handheld GPS unit and monitor speed, distance, time, heart rate etc. They are especially useful for serious runners or people who are earnest about exercising.

Before investing in a GPS watch one needs to understand its features.  Let's say you are a beginner and have just started training. You may want to look at a unit such as the Garmin Forerunner 101. This is basic model and quite affordable. Timex Navman is another option in this field.

The Chronoswiss Watch Factory can be located in Munich but most components that go to make the famous Chronoswiss watches are made in Switzerland. They add great value to the design and craftsmanship displayed by Chronoswiss watch makers. All Chronoswiss watches can be instantly recognized by their onion-shaped crown and the presence of non-reflective sapphire crystals on the front and back of their case. They are also water resistant to depths of 30 meters or so.

Hublot is one of the younger watches to have muscled its way to the top of the watch world. The credit of developing the Hublot watch goes to Carlo Crocco, a watchmaker born with watch making genes.
 
This young man wanted to shake the world with a design that was revolutionary, sporty and elegant, a design that would make the world sit up and take notice. He wanted to make a watch that could be worn both in elegant and informal situations. Amazingly, he chose a porthole, which in French is Hublot, to model his watch. His choice of materials was no less revolutionary. They ranged from finely brushed steel to gold.
