Sipping Mohitos with Tommy Bahama
You spent years investing every spare penny into your IRA and at the tender age of fifty-five, were able to retire with still enough spunk in you to chase after bikini clad twenty-something year old tourist on the white sand beaches of the Bahamas. By all means, you are living the good life. You have a nice home right on the water with a neighborhood bar that opens at 11AM every morning.
Your average day looks like this: you wake up at around 10AM, sometimes later if you had a late night. After a leisurely breakfast of fresh coffee and melon you head down to your own personal hammock to read the daily paper. Once you’ve perused all sections that you find important, namely the sports section and financial pages, you stroll to the bar for an early afternoon pick me up. There you like to talk to pretty girls and enjoy an hour or so away from the Caribbean sun.
The rest of your day is basically a repeat of your morning. As you have no responsibilities or commitments whatsoever, you rarely feel he need to look at your Tommy Bahama water-resistant watch, that happens to blend perfectly with the Bahamian décor of the neighborhood bar. But when you do glance at the time, you can be comforted in knowing that Tommy Bahama is working diligently to give you an accurate time day and night. The festive watch has also been a great conversation starter wih some very cute tourists.

No Need to Sweat with Citizen Watches
You glance at your Citizen Watch and realize you're late, today of all days. Palms sweating, you slowly and quietly open the door to your supervisor's office. It's evaluation day and word around the office is that there may be some layoffs due to a poor third quarter earnings. You try to tell yourself that it won't be you that gets laid off, but in the back of your mind, you can't help but worry. Honestly, it could be anyone.
Your supervisor greets you, once the door is opened, with a superficial brief smile, knowing full well what is going through your head. She does not sympathize with your fears however, her job is safe and it is her responsibility to determine who is no longer fit to work for the company.
She asks you a series of questions pertaining to your daily job responsibilities to determine whether or not you are really a necessity to the company. Twenty minutes or so goes by and your supervisor turns her head to glance at the clock behind her. The second hand is not moving and it appears to be hours behind.
She asks if you have the time and you gracefully raise your arm to show off your new Citizen eco-drive ladies stainless steel watch. She admires the classic beauty of your Citizen Watch while checking the time. She wants to know where you got it and how much you paid and if you are happy with it. As it turns out, she has been looking for a Citizen Watch for herself. So you let her know that Watches Giant is where you got yours and that you didn't even have to pay for shipping.
Anyone who can buy smart, must be smart enough to continue working for the company right? Well, that may or may not be the case, but you did keep your job and Monday morning your supervisor showed up sporting the exact same Citizen Watch as yours.

Nike Watch Review
Imagine this: Your alarm goes off on your Nike watch at 6AM giving you enough time for your early morning jog before jumping in the shower and heading down to the office for a long and stressful day. You throw on a pair of jogging shorts, a headband, a wristband, and of course your Nike running shoes. Then, you're out the door. You find yourself jogging in the sand this morning, along Venice beach, every once in a while having to dodge surfers walking to the cool water with their boards.
The sun is now shining hard above you; there are no clouds in the sky. As the intensity of your workout increases, you begin to sweat. You wipe some sweat dripping from your temples with your wristband and then glance at it for a moment to check the time. There is a digital watch in the wristband.
This was unheard of until Nike recently came out with their Nike Cuff watches, perfect for any athlete on a schedule. These cuffs are so comfortable you won't even notice them when running, biking, playing ball, you name it, you can do it. The Nike cuffs are also machine washable, so it doesn't matter if they get a little sweaty. They also come in a set of three customizable cuffs so you can coordinate with your outfit.
This watch is perfect for anyone who finds himself or herself on a tight schedule constantly looking for a clock nearby during their workouts. The Nike Cuff watches are available through
Watches Giant.

Elephant Trekking with Wenger
Are you planning a trip to Thailand? If you aren't, you should be. There is so much to do in Thailand from beautiful beaches to Buddhist temples to lush forests. One of the things you can experience in Thailand that would never be a possibility in America is elephant trekking through the jungle. You can ride one of these truly magnificent animals for an hour long guided tour of the Thai jungles. This will give you a whole new perspective of Thailand that very few people actually experience.
It is important to dress appropriately when elephant trekking. There are lots of mosquitoes thanks to the humid climate as well as a variety of other bugs. So it's a good idea to wear plenty of bug repellant and long sleeved shirts and pants.
To blend in better with the forest you can even coordinate your watch as well as your clothing. The Wenger Swiss Commando Army watch has a camo dial and band ensuring that even your watch will blend in with the trees.
After your trek through the jungles, you may wish to cool yourself off with a dip in the water at one of Thailand's gorgeous beaches. While you may want to change your clothing, there is no need to change your Wenger Swiss Commando watch, as it is also water resistant.
The Wenger Swiss Commando will take you wherever you need to go and still be able to tell impeccable time. It even has a tachometer to determine the elephant's average speed over the known distance.

Climbing the Rocks with Suunto
During the week you have a high-pressure job sitting behind a desk all day dealing with pretentious bosses and copy machines that always seem to break down when you're in the middle of copying. You yearn for the weekend when you can pursue your passion of rock climbing.
When Saturday morning finally arrives you hit the road to your nearest national park with your best friend and rock climbing buddy in the passenger seat singing along, off-key, to the radio. You see some clouds beginning to form when you pull into the parking lot so you check your Suunto Observer watch for the barometric pressure to determine whether a storm may be rolling in. According to the Observer's reading, you should be okay to climb.
While climbing, you slip on some loose rocks and bang your entire side against a slab of hard rock. You don't mind, a few battle wounds give you character, as long as there is nothing broken. Your Suunto Observer doesn't mind either. It is extremely shock resistant and won't crack after a few bumps and bruises.
Both you and your climbing buddy are extremely competitive and are constantly trying to beat one another up the mountain. Now, with your Suunto Observer watch you are able to tell down to the second how much faster you were than her over a specific vertical climb. The Observer has both a stopwatch and altimeter to measure altitude and speed.
Rock climbing will never be the same after using the Suunto Observer watch which is brought to you by Watches Giant.
