Who Wears What? Time for Celebrity Watches:

Watch manufacturers are using the latest celebrities to endorse their products, in order to drive demand for the product. These celebrities, whether they are film, movie or sports stars, are paid a significant sum to be sponsored by a watch brand. The watch manufacturer then hopes to drive sales in a product that is perceived as desirable, as the latest ‘cool’ celebrity has been hired to promote the stylish and fashionable watches. On the other hand, some watch brands don’t rely on official celebrity sponsorships. It can be an expensive PR exercise to hire a famous face to be the official sponsor of a watch brand. Some celebrities are spotted wearing a particular brand of watch, which may be spotted in the newspapers and magazines, which can be great free promotion for the manufacturer.

Who’s wearing What?

Sports Watches

Watches are more than just generic time-pieces. Nowadays, a watch can not only provide you with the accurate time, but also other information, such as temperature, pulse and countdown timers. Not all these may be relevant to the customer; however there is a growing niche in the watch industry, which markets particular watches, with some advanced features, that are perfect for the world of sport.

The watch type can vary significantly, depending on the sport that you play. The watch that you choose for your sport may require a unique feature, which makes it a good purchasing decision, compared to picking out a ‘standard’ watch. For example, if you want to wear your watch whilst swimming, then you may benefit greatly from a waterproof watch with a good depth gauge and also a timing feature to record those laps. 

Here are some examples of watches you could buy, depending on the sport:

Swimming

If you like getting wet and need to keep track of time whilst in the pool, or even in the shower, then a watch, designed for swimming is recommended. You can buy a watch which can withstand a large depth and is, of course, waterproof! There are also functions with these watches, such as lap timers and heart rate monitors. This Casio G-Shock Alarm Chronograph could be perfect for timing those swimming laps.

Running

A running watch would need to be small and light, but packed with advanced features to record all kinds of data to analyse your performance. The Garmin Forerunner 405cx GPS Training Watch can track your distance, pace and heart rate and then wirelessly send the data to your PC. You’ll then be able to monitor your performance and hopefully shave off those vital seconds!

Diving

One of the most crucial features of a diving watch is how well it can withstand deep pressure underwater and also advanced depths of water for long periods of time. The watch needs to be reliable and should relay vital timing information to the scuba diver when needed. The latest diving watches are also deemed rather fashionable and stylish! The Momentum Cyclone Chronograph is a good example of style and functionality for the diver.

Skiing

A skiing watch need to withstand knocks, so a shock-resistant feature would be beneficial. It would also need to work in plunging temperatures whilst hitting the slopes. The Casio G-Shock is a stylish performance watch that is great for skiing.

General Sports Watch-

One could buy a sporty looking watch, which looks stylish and fashionable, but also serves as a functional purpose. The Breo Sports Fashion Watch is a unisex time-piece with an iconic design, sporty looks and also tells the time!
