What should you be wearing? What does your wrist want to wear? according to a survey from men’s heath the latest craze is chunky sports watches.

Why?

Below are 7 simple points which will keep you smiling, as the points could save you money and also help you loose weight!

1. They’re proven to last four times as long as an ordinary watch as they are more resistant to breakage.
2. Wearing a sports watch encourages activity.
3. Rubber straps last longer than leather ones and the WilliamsF1 Team from Oris even moulds itself to your wrist’s shape.
4. Most quartz watches need to be serviced every three years but Citizen’s Eco-Drive model has a solar-powered battery, so maintenance is kept to a minimum. (Although if used for diving it needs to be regularly serviced).
5. An average watch uses a silver oxide battery that lasts two to four years, but most sports watches are lithium-powered and last usually 5 or more years.
6. The functioning of mechanical watches is affected by extreme temperatures, but, thanks to new technology, the workings of the Planet Ocean by Omega are almost friction-free.
7. Mechanical watches run the risk of damaging their balance and rotor axle during physical activity. Sports watches are designed to take the knocks and smashes of the sports field.
