One of the greatest appeals of the Android watches is that they are simultaneously futuristically modern and traditional. These are watches you can wear everyday that will still attract positive phrase - watches you can wear to work while appropriately expressing your personality.
The Mystique Ceramic Skeleton demonstrates this perfectly. It is styled classically with a rectangular case that matches the alligator strap to blend smoothly. As this is a skeleton watch, all the mechanics of the watch are visible to the eye. The beauty of the watch is literally what makes it run. However, this skeleton is a little different from others as the movement is stationed in a way that it seems to be “floating” - a classic design with a modern touch. There is also another version of this watch that is all stainless steel instead of ceramic and leather. The regular Mystique gives you a great option of whether you want to be subtle or flashy. You can choose whether you would like the automatic movement to be gold-plated or silver-tone. The silver-tone look is smooth and subtle, while the gold-plated look draws your eye to the movement immediately.
Another skeleton style watch is the Prism Two Skeleton. What makes this watch stand out is the special mineral crystal dial. The crystal creates a prism effect that melds gently with the luminous blue hands of the watch. It has the look and feel of a classic watch with just a touch of stand out sparkle to warrant a second look. More than just a pretty face, this watch is also water resistant up to 330 feet.
The Naval-2 Chronograph was clearly inspired by elegant naval watches and lifestyle. The timeless, yet modern color scheme makes it a wonderful everyday piece. The rugged brown leather strap blends perfectly with the silver-tone case and the gold-tone bezel. The chronograph functions of the watch allow you to use two stopwatch mechanisms without affecting the time-telling capabilities. The case for this watch is a whopping 48mm, making it the perfect robust piece for those that need lots of function.
If you are looking for a watch that features something other than a metal bracelet or a leather strap, the Impetus Chronograph is exactly your style. This watch showcases a practical rubber strap in either black, blue, gray or orange. The watches with the gray and orange straps have a simple white dial, while the black and blue strapped watches have dials the precise shade of their rubber straps. The Impetus is about function. It is water-resistant up to 330 feet, includes a date wheel, a second hand subdial and a chronograph subdial.
There’s even something for the ladies! The Intercontinental offers stylish choices for any woman you know. The gold-tone chronograph has a strictly classic look with clean lines and large quarter markers. The leather strap showcases white contrast stitching, which pairs well with either the white or dark green dial. What is modern about it, you ask? The size! The Intercontinental Chronograph has a 37mm case making quite a chunky statement on your wrist! Larger timepieces are often worn by women these days, a look that is versatile enough to be worn either with a suit or jeans.
If you are looking for more modern with a touch of classic tradition, the Intercontinental Automatic fits that bill. It comes in two traditional case choices, black and silver-tone, and four dial color choices, which like the Chronograph, there is contrast stitching on the leather strap. However, here, the stitching matches the dial colors: white, black, burgundy, or blue. Two cutout circles in the dial allow partial sight to the movement, making this watch a blend of a traditional watch and a skeleton watch. For an extra bonus, these watch features an exhibition back allowing all of the movement to be seen from the back.
Another option for women is the watch titled Exotic. This watch features a trendy ceramic bracelet in either, black, white or beige. The cases are also ceramic, matching the bracelets in exact color - except for the beige, which features a burgundy case. Styled classically, this is yet another a watch that can be worn casually or formally. Only the number 12 is present on the dial; the remaining numerals are marked by small silver-tone dot markers. This watch is resistant up to 330 feet.
For the do-it-yourself types, Android offers a tool kit that allows you to adjust your watch perfectly at home. There’s not a need to travel to a jewelry store when you can do everything at home. If you need to tighten or loosen your watch’s bracelet, all the tools are included. The watch case back opener allows you to change your own battery. A magnifying loop is even included to make sure you see what you’re doing!
For a watch that blends classic style with modern touches, Android is definitely the right brand. The classic styling with futuristic touches can appeal to everyone. Have the best of both worlds - express your personality without shocking the neighbors!
