SUMMER
2011
By Keith W. Strandberg
With summer arriving this month,
it’s time to break out the seasonal
essentials – shorts, swimsuit, flip
flops, that great summer book, the
suntan lotion and...a great new watch.
Summer is certainly the most open season,
style-wise, so the choices you have are varied and
across the board, from a serious sports timepiece
to a fun, colorful, design-oriented watch to an
elegant, dress piece.

Rough, Rugged
and Ready
The all-round watch, one that can be
worn anywhere, from the boardroom
to the surfboard, is the perfect place to
start with a finer watch. Many people
think that a more expensive watch has to
be treated with kid gloves, but all-round
sports watches are built to withstand
just about anything. Water resistant,
shock-resistant and made with the best
materials (surgical grade stainless steel,
titanium, carbon fiber, sapphire crystal
and more), do what you will to these
timepieces, they can take it.
Fashion and Fun
Summer is the perfect time to wear a
colorful and fun watch. Rarely serious,
fashion watches are inexpensive
enough to try on a whim and trendy
enough to wear all summer long.
