What exactly is a watch with a world time function?
Time zone watches—also known as world timer watches, travel watches, or watches with multiple time zones—are true masterpieces for anyone who thinks beyond national borders. They not only display the local time, but also the time in another time zone.
The advantage: you always have the current time in one of the other time zones at a glance – and save yourself the hassle of calculating back and forth in your head. Whether you are doing business with colleagues in Tokyo or want to call friends or family in Paris in your private life. Unlike classic analog watches, many models offer digital displays or combined displays that reliably keep track of time zones even while using other functions, such as alarms or stopwatches.
Who is a world timer watch suitable for – and why?
Frequent flyers, digital nomads, adventurers, business commuters, and travel enthusiasts all benefit from a well-designed travel watch. It is particularly helpful if you frequently switch between continents or projects in different countries. You always know what time it is at your destination. And you can see it at a glance.
But a pilot's watch with world time is also an exciting option for design lovers and fans of practical gadgets. The combination of technology, functionality, and sporty style makes these timepieces a powerful everyday companion. At the airport as well as in the urban jungle.
CASIO time zone watches: Three models reviewed
Functional, stylish, and perfect for everyday use. Whether you travel a lot or simply have a penchant for technology and design, these watches will keep you on the right track.
Sporty travel watch with world map: the functional classic
The AE-1200WH-1AV from the CASIO TIMELESS COLLECTION is an affordable watch with world time function. Globetrotters and outdoor enthusiasts in particular should take a closer look, because this travel watch scores with a 10-year battery, is water-resistant to 10 bar and, in addition to a classic digital display, also offers a world map that visualizes the current time zone.
Thanks to the dual time function, two times can be displayed simultaneously on the watch face. This is ideal if you regularly switch between your home time and destination time. In the dark, the LED backlight ensures clear visibility. The sporty, angular design also gives it a robust look.
Multi-time zone watch: The stylish all-in-one solution
With the GW-M5610U-1B from G-SHOCK, we bring the classic DW-5000C into the present. It includes modern technologies such as Tough Solar (rechargeable with sunlight) and Multi-Band 6, which automatically synchronizes with the local atomic clock.
The design of the world time watch remains deliberately minimalist: a slim, rectangular case, dark gray tones, and an inverted LCD display for extra coolness. Inside, state-of-the-art technology provides world time function, radio connection, alarm clock, stopwatch, and more.
Worldtimer watches for gadget lovers with style
If you like things a little more extravagant, you'll love the GMW-B5000D-1C world timer watch from G-SHOCK. It combines practical features with a futuristic design that will immediately appeal to tech fans.
The world timer watch features the legendary colors of the original resin models, with red, blue, and yellow representing passion, water resistance, and shock resistance.
The solid stainless steel case and bezel are manufactured using a complex process to achieve a high-quality look and feel. At the same time, specially developed resin shock absorbers ensure that the travel watch remains as shock-resistant as the original. With its embossed metal bracelet and manufacture at the original location in Japan, this watch with world time function closes the circle to the legendary heritage of the brand.
What was the conclusion for frequent flyer watches?
Whether you travel around the world regularly or simply like to keep track of things, a watch with a world time function simplifies everyday life, saves time, and looks good too. Models such as the AE-1200WH, the GMW-B5000D-1C, and the GW-M5610U-1B show that practical travel watches don't have to be boring—quite the contrary. In short: CASIO world timer watches are versatile, practical, and stylish.
