Survival
A survival watch proves its value in environments where external support is limited, and equipment reliability matters. MTM | WATCH survival watches integrate altimeter, barometer and compass sensors (ABC) with extended battery performance to provide environmental data where it is needed most.
MTM | WATCH SURVIVAL WATCHES
What makes a good survival watch?
An MTM | WATCH survival watch is designed to support navigation and environmental awareness in remote or outdoor environments. Unlike standard watches, survival watches integrate sensors that provide real-time data such as elevation, atmospheric pressure and direction, helping the wearer make informed decisions when operating away from infrastructure.
MTM | WATCH survival watches prioritise autonomy. Battery performance, sensor reliability and durability are essential, as charging access, connectivity and backup equipment may be unavailable or limited.
Core functions of an MTM | WATCH survival watch
MTM | WATCH survival watches are built around a set of core functions commonly referred to as ABC sensors.
- Altimeter - tracks elevation changes, useful for navigation, route planning and understanding terrain
- Barometer - monitors atmospheric pressure to help anticipate weather changes
- Compass - provides directional reference without reliance on GPS or mobile devices
These functions will allow you to maintain situational awareness when out in the field, using the watch alone - without external tools.
Battery life and power independence
Extended battery performance is one of MTM | WATCH survival watches' defining features. Our watches use low-power electronics, solar charging and power-saving modes to support long-term use.
This means that even during extended outdoor activity, when frequent recharging is not practical or even impossible, your MTM | WATCH survival watch will remain operational and reliable.
Durability and ruggedness in outdoor conditions
Our survival watches are specially designed to operate reliably in outdoor conditions. That's why our survival watches usually include the following:
Water resistance - our survival watches are suitable for wet and rainy environments
Shock-resistant cases - our survival watches cope well with rough terrain
Rugged materials - selected specifically for temperature and weather exposure
When is an MTM | WATCH survival watch useful?
Our survival watches are commonly bought and used for, and perform exceptionally well in:
- Backcountry navigation and route planning
- Wilderness training and outdoor education
- Remote outdoor work
- Search and rescue environments
- Long-duration expeditions
Survival watches vs other watch types
Survival watches are distinct from outdoor and professional watches. Their primary focus is environmental data and autonomy, rather than connectivity, fitness tracking or other advanced features. This makes them very suitable for conditions and situations where simplicity, reliability and independence mean the difference between successfully completing your mission and not.
