Freestyle - available at 8 stores *

California-based Freestyle Watch Co. has an amazing selection of men's leisure and active watches, with a few for the ladies as well.

Most men's lifestyle watches have stainless steel bands, while a couple have the option of a titanium or gold-plated finish. Freestyle's active collection includes comfortable nylon and polyurethane bands and some stainless steel, too. Many active watches have unique features, such as a compass, lap memory and even 15-year tide data for 128 beaches worldwide. Women have a minimal selection, but the styles are hot.

A slew of sport celebrities have embraced Freestyle watches. Wearers include Schuyler McFerran, who won the World Longboard title in 2006, and fellow surfers Cory Lopez and Shane Dorian.
