FreeStyle School Shark Surf Watch

FreeStyle isn't a big name in the watch industry, but it's gaining a loyal following with its affordable School Shark surf watch.

With its aquatic name, it's no surprise that this watch loves the water. Unlike most watches at this price it's not merely water resistant; it's water proof up to 50 meters. That might not be enough of a guarantee for deep sea diving enthusiasts, but it's fine for surfers, snorkelers, or anyone who loves to have fun in the waves.

Its looks are cute rather than luxurious. The pretty striped nylon band might be regarded as childish by some, but I think it's an adorable complement to the pink edged silver watch face. The minimalist analog face isn't as easily read as a more detailed version would be, but it does offer a clean, chic look.

The design isn't only about complementing your casual outfit though. The woven band is stronger than your average nylon strap, a great thing when it's exposed to harsh elements like salt water and chlorine, and the buckle should keep it more firmly in place than other alternative clasps.

Most people assume a $40 watch, particularly one that's waterproof, is a throwaway item but this FreeStyle watch bucks the trends. The brand is so confident of its performance it sells each watch with a 10-year limited warranty.
