For a more high end feature.. a compass on a watch is a very useful feature while touring as it can help you gauge your general direction of motion and ensure that you are not going the wrong way. Especially useful at night and around mid-day when you cannot depend on the sun for your directions.
My current watch has a temperature sensor(digital thermometer) and displays ambient temperature... though not a very useful feature.. but gives you photographable temperature data / proof and an upper hand in temperature related arguments

Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Having a clock on the speedo is really cool, and useful. I remember the Bajaj Legend scooter, (or was it the LML Vespa? I,m not sure, I was quite small then!
) that had an analogue clock alongside the speedo!
So does anyone have any specific watches in mind, or that they own, and would like us all to know about?

G-Shock Mudman
Mine's the G-Shock Mudman

it's got an inverted LCD. Dark background, light number.
Waterproof | Rainproof | Shockproof | Mudproof.
The feature i really like is the Auto EL Illuminator.
while i'm riding...
all i need to do is twist my wrist to look at the face of the watch
and the display lights up automatically.
