For example, in sports watches or diving watches, the bezel may have markers or numbers that are used to measure elapsed time for activities such as diving or distance covered. The bezel is rotated to set the starting point and the endpoint for the measured time.
The bezel can be fixed in some watches, where it does not move and primarily serves as a decorative element. In other watches, the bezel can be rotatable in one direction or bidirectional, depending on the design and intended use of the watch.
