Sports watches can be great for the summer. They're waterproof and often have lap memory to time those lines you make across the swimming pool. Brands try to entice you with their colorful bands and countdown timers with alarms. Take Adidas Originals, for example (see title link). The watch pictured above has all of the aforementioned perks, as well as a polycarbonate stainless steel case, digital movement, and polyurethane strap. On top of it all, it's imported, making it all the more sophisticated and classy. But the price of the watch? $60. Honestly, I saw a similar watch at Wal-Mart some months ago with the same general features. Perhaps the strap wasn't polyurethane, but it was quite strong and useful and didn't come at such a high price; it was only about $20. So before you go for the brand name, shop around and make sure you're getting your money's worth. After all, it's the quality that matters, not the brand. And brand names don't ALWAYS guarantee quality.
