Essential Sports Watches

Nike. Casio. Citizen. Seems like every fine watchmaker is coming out with a new sports watch these days. And for good reason-- Sports watches are totally useful, For instance, Casio has a series of G-Shock Solar Watches that don't ever need a battery change; the solar cell in each watch uses free energy from the Sun to keep perfect time. Every G-Shock Solar Watch is shock resistant and waterproof to 200 meters. Comes with a world clock that can tell you the time in twenty-nine time zones, as well. Most watches in the Casio G-Shock Sports Watch series can be had for less than $100.

A good sports watch can be an invaluable tool. Most come with a stopwatch feature to help you work toward that personal best. A sports watch can assist you in keeping track of your tank-time while scuba diving. Set an alarm to remind you when it's time to head back topside. Sports watches are made to handle being banged about-- say you're rock climbing and whack your wrist on the wall. A regular timepiece is gonna break to bits. If that's a well-made sports watch on your wrist, it'll take the bang and never skip a beat.

Just a bit pricier, yet totally worth it, is the Nike Triax series of sports watches. The V-10 watch can tell you how far and now fast you're running. It also features an interval timer that you can use to monitor speed work and recovery sessions. The Nike Triax just happens to have the easiest battery hatch ever invented. Well worth checking out.

Sports watches are an essential addition to your daily wardrobe. They look rugged yet refined enough to wear to the office. And, should your lunch break include a deep sea dive or scramble up the side of the building, you'll be ready to go. And look cool while you're at it.
