Waterproof Watches That Keep Time in the Waves
Blogged under Sporting Goods, Gadgets, Apparel by Michele Chan Santos on Thursday 3 April 2008

It’s the time of year when a waterproof watch is a must-have. Swimmers are training for upcoming meets, children are enrolling in swim lessons, and families are planning vacations which may include snorkeling or diving. Men have lots of water-resistant ironman-triathlon-50-lap-sleek-timex.jpgwatches to pick from, depending on what type of activity they’re doing. At Timex.com, the ironman triathlon 50-lap sleek watch ($70, pictured) is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters, can track up to 50 laps and includes two interval timers. It’s well-suited for competitive swimmers. The freestyle USA hammerhead sport watch, $99.95 from Backcountry.com, has a stainless-steel case and resists water to depths of 200 meters. It’s a better choice for snorkelers and divers, although it costs more. For hunters, Basspro.com sells the bass pro sportsman watch ($39.88) for men. It features information on the tide, moon phases and times for sunset and sunrise. It’s handy for hunters, fishermen and other outdoorsmen and resists water to a depth of 100 meters. For women, Diveusa.com carries a waterproof freestyle watch – Betty Shark XCuba Surf, for $45.95. It is waterproof up to 100 meters deep has a glow-in-the-dark feature and a stainless steel case. Timex.com’s ironman triathlon sleek 50-lap watch for women comes in powder blue and costs $60, and has features similar to the Ironman men’s watch. Teenagers of either gender would probably enjoy the waterproof Speedo junior fashion watch, which comes in a rainbow of available colors, for $24.99 from Speedousa.com. If you have unlimited funds, consider the Oyster perpetual sea-dweller 4000, at Rolex.com. It’s designed for professional divers, is made of steel and is guaranteed waterproof to 1,220 meters. The site does not list a price – you’ll have to call your local Rolex dealer to find out.
