Nixon Tide Rover TI
This mechanical animal is great for all of you underwater activities; surfing, snorkeling, even spears fishing. Great thing about it is that no one will know you are wearing a high tech surf watch.
The sleek titanium mega-link construction will have them wondering ‘is he is a surfer or the CEO of a surf board company.’ Now would I lie to you? You will need a stick to fight off the ladies when you are rockin’ this watch. Don’t believe me? Suit yourself, but at least you can rest assure that Gear Goddess is a huge fan.
Sophistication doesn't come at a small price. The Nixon Tide Rover TI retails at $400 Get it now at Nixonnow.com

Whatever happened to that saying “the bomb” anyway? It was catchy and cool at the time, but somehow that phrase was lost and replaced other silly bits of slang like "that's hot." Well “that’s hot” is about to get ice cold once the Atomic Solar watch hits your wrist- cause its “the bomb”…get it? Atomic…bomb? Okay I lost you, but once you hear what this watch has to offer you might want to reconsider bringing “the bomb” back.
The Sea Pathfinder is probably one of the most comfortable watches that will ever touch your wrist, the large easy to read display is great for checking out all of the cool features this watch has to offer…

- Digital Compass
- Depth meter, Barometer and Thermometer

Freestyle Lockdown
Can you keep a secret? I sure can’t- but my Freestyle Lockdown Watch lets me keep very tiny objects a secret.
Telling time that is one of those things you come to expect from a watch, but a secret compartment- that’s called an added bonus my friends. At first glance what do you see? A lovely black watch, that walks the line of being classic and a bit edgy. Slip on this bad boy and the mood totally changes. James Bond baby! With a hidden compartment and luminous hands and markers, the ‘Lockdown’ is much more than your average watch.
With a $150 price tag, you to can be Bond...James Bond. See it for yourself at Freestyleusa.com
