Rip Curl Echo Watch

Rip Curl takes us from the office to the waves with this conservative Echo Watch.

Most surf watches tend to be a lot bulkier and more colorful than this Rip Curl time piece. Its subtlety may cause many beachgoers to overlook it, but they'd miss out on a very versatile watch.

The restrained design means it suits any occasion. Who really wants a watch for everyday and another one for the beach? While the styling is conservative it's not without charm. I really like the pop of the brown border around the face, and the retro styled Rip Curl logo. The bold numbers are also very easy to read, even in the glare of the sun or under the water.

It's also very practical, with a waterproof stainless steel case and soft silicone wrist strap. We miss out on many of the technological perks we see on contemporary surf watches including heart rate monitors and digital compasses. It's also only water resistant to 100 meters too, so scuba divers may need a more advanced model.

All those extras usually add serious dollars to the bottom line. If you're happy with the basics you'll also be happy to spend just $100 on this versatile Rip Curl Echo watch.
