The main characteristic is that every SI unit is a member of a family of units which are related to each other by powers of ten.

A lesser characteristic is that many of the derived SI units are linked to one another so that there are simple conversions across different measures. For example:

1 kilogram*1 metres/second2 = 1 Newton

1 Newton*1 metre = 1 Joule

1 Watt = 1 Joule/1 second
