Be Active

Best waterproof watches for active lifestyles

You have always been a man of sport, enjoying every activity that helped you keep your very good shape just like it was a couple of years ago, when the last thing you needed was to work for your silhouette. Now things have dramatically changed, but thank God you’re not too lazy for jogging in the mornings and never against the idea of a little escapade to the seaside. Moreover, you are what people call a “son of sea”, so water sports are just what the doctor ordered for your body and soul.

But as much as you love swimming, surfing, sailing (or whatever you might come up with), you can’t neglect the fact that a Rolex is wrapped around your wrist and you wouldn’t like to have it ruined or lost due to your underwater escapades. On the other hand, you want to always be connected, so you don’t like the idea of not knowing the time, even when you’re scuba diving.

Well then, let me make a suggestion: the Breo watch, a device that “is waterproof to 10 meters and comes with a permanently affixed natural rubber band made with the naturally occurring mineral Tourmaline (which we’ve been told is responsible for many beneficial effects when worn next to the skin”. The watch is very easy to use, so all you are supposed to do is to just wrap it around your wrist and forget you have it.

The wristwatch is available in three color versions, pink, blue and black, and each of these comes in three different sizes: small, medium and large. Maybe the Breo devices are far from being the best waterproof watches, but you’d rather take them with you underwater, facing them with all sorts of unexpected risks, than other expensive timepieces.

The watch face measures 4 x 1.5 centimeters, while the strap measures 19 cm (the small size), 23 cm (the medium size) and 25 cm (the large size). The Breo watch retails for only £9.99.
