You may not need all of the dials or bells and whistles. Maybe you are just looking for a functional watch that keeps good time. One feature that I like on a watch is an alarm as it comes in handy when you travel. Another feature is the ability to read it in the dark. I hate to try to read a watch at night that you cannot see. I also like larger numbers since I am at the age when the old eyes are not as good as they used to be. What type watch do you like when you travel?
