These 4 watches available at Hale’s Jewelers have a sporty and stylish-feel ready for any occasion.
Swatch / Tissot T-Touch Connect Solar, $1,100
If you can’t live without both versions of a “hot spot”—a crackling campfire off the grid, and the wi-fi connection that directed your GPS there—you’ll appreciate the much-anticipated duality that makes this timepiece so distinct. The Solar is a hybrid smartwatch that blends timeless, traditional mechanics with a digital display that borrows the power of the sun to boost battery life way beyond normal smartwatches. A graphic and unapologetic aesthetic, paired with an ultra-functional, outdoors-proof design and full smartwatch capabilities places this bold new hybrid at the top of the list when it comes to essential adventuring gear.
Tissot Gent XL Swissmatic, $475
Understated and urban. Vintage-inspired in character, modern in functionality. Simplicity meets high-tech style in this quietly masculine mechanical watch, designed for the sportsman who prefers sleek details over eye-popping displays. A balanced size that feels light on the wrist, the Tissot sports a clean, crisp face design, framed by the colors of spotted trout in dappled creek beds.
TAG HEUER Formula 1 Calibre 16 – Automatic, $3,100
This automatic model presents a subtle departure from tradition by delivering a bold, motorsport-inspired aesthetic at an affordable price point. Featuring generous proportions, a self-winding movement and sundials in a luminous sun-ray motif, the Formula 1 is the perfect, polished companion for the thrum of an engine.
TAG HEUER Formula 1 – Quartz Chronograph, $1,900
Every serious cyclist knows—beyond the glint of brushed metal and chrome, below the sleek and stylish cut of riding gear, the road is a long, dark, grounding thread of grit. The gravitas of that foundation is elevated in the striking asphalt design and robust build of this racing watch. Engineered for speed and precision, accented with exciting colors, and water-resistant to 200 meters, this Formula 1 model takes pride of place at the front of the peloton—able to keep pace as an everyday timepiece, yet ready at any moment to roar ahead.
