TICK TOCK: SPORTY WATCHES FOR ATHLETES AND SPECTATORS ALIKE

Whether you are training for a marathon, checking for surf, scubadiving or just looking for a sporty timepiece to stay on time, there are so many cool watches to choose from. I'm loving these in white and silver, so super chic
there is no need to change watches when the workout is done.

Equipped with GPS technology, this beautiful limited edition tracks your location, pace, time and distance. USB contacts are built into the watch strap and plugs in to your computer to upload data and keep track of all your runs. This edition was created for the US Olympic Team athletes, but theirs came with real gold on the trim.

CHANEL J12 CHRONOGRAPH  $7850
This watch is a major fashion statement, but if you plan on wearing it for its functional capabilities it does feature self-winding mechanical chronograph movement, 42-hour power reserve, date and chronograph (12-hour, 30-minute, 60-seconds counters), unidirectional rotating bezel and is water-resistant up to 200 meters.

FREESTYLE HAMMERHEAD LDS  $135
The Hammerhead LDS gives a little fashion edge to the classic dive style and the result is a sporty timepiece that looks great surfing or just hanging on the beach.



ROLEX SUBMARINER $7995
What can I say about this iconic timepiece? Its a Rolex, a timeless classic, the ultimate diving watch designed for extreme underwater exploration and able to withstand depths of up to 3900 meters.

NIXON SUPERTIDE  $200
While still one of the top action sports brands and sponsoring the world's best surf, skate, and snowboard athletes, Nixon has become one of the hottest watch brands in the world. Recognized for their cutting edge style and design, these watches are sold in both the coolest surf shops and some of the most fashionable boutiques in the world, including even Colette in Paris.

TIMEX IRONMAN SHOCK-RESISTENT 30 LAP $65
A throwback to the original 1986 Timex Ironman watch with improved functionality and shock-resistant durability, this watch has style that can withstand time, and construction that can withstand anything else.
