About FreeStyle
With the extremist in mind, FreeStyle has created an extensive collection of innovative performance watches that will go with you to the edge and back--whether you're surfing, skiing, biking, or hiking. Established in 1981, Freestyle Watches was the brainchild of a couple of Surfers whose mission was to create a watch line that could withstand the abusive conditions of their beach lifestyle. Their experience told them very few watches on the market could stand up to the daily abuse of salt water and sand. The result was The Shark Freestyle watch, a lightweight, low profile, and extremely durable timepiece that was immediately demanded by athletes all over the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best watch I've ever owned, March 30, 2006

I shopped around quite a bit before I found this watch. I have owned several decent watches and this is my favorite. I like the quality of the stainless steel case. The watch feels very solid and well-made. I also really dig the rotating bezel. I actually use it a lot to time things, more than I ever used the stopwatch on a digital watch. The movement is Japanese and keeps excellent time. It looks great and the band is comfortable. The backlight works well, and I often don't even need it because the glow in the dark hands are very good and glow all night. I've actually had people comment on how much they like my watch. The face is clear and easy to read.

I actually bought the Freestyle Shark X Yellow watch first but I didn't like it. The backlight only worked on the digital window and the watch just didn't have the quality feel of the hammerhead. I returned the Shark X and bought the hammerhead.

Amazon seems to have the best price. I lucked out and got this watch new for $50 at a store called "Mardens" in Maine. Mardens buys out inventories of stores going out of business, etc. They had some very nice stuff..I had a hunch they were losses from stores affected by Huricate Katrina. If you've got $90 to spend on a watch, I think this is a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good looking and functional, June 27, 2008

The stainless steel is brushed and has the look of a more costly watch. I've gotten quite a few compliments on my Freestyle and I wear it for everyday and out on the town. The band is comfortable and the holes in the band for the clasp are within 1/4" of each other and span about 3" making a custom fit possible unless you're the Hulk or Twiggy. "Hammerhead" is imprinted on the bezel with "660 FT" at 12 & 6 O'clock.
I actually dive with my watch but never deeper than 50 ft (15M). The face and bezel are easy to see under water without touching any buttons on the watch (a submerged no-no).
I like my watch and would buy another one but with a limited lifetime warranty, I shouldn't ever have to.

This review is from: Freestyle Men's FS75401 Hammerhead Polyurethane Watch (Watch)

I have owned this watch now for 8 years and still appreciate its style and functionality. I have dived with mine on numerous occasions down to approximately 100' with no water intrusion or condensation forming. I am now on my 3rd battery and second band and do not foresee replacing this watch anytime soon. (Note: This watch originally came with a neoprene band when it was purchased 8 years ago. The band was comfortable but tended to start to smell after extended wear, especially if worn running or other similar activities, requiring a bath with wetsuit soap.) One comment is that you should not attempt to replace the battery on any dive watch yourself. It is worth the extra money to have it replaced by someone that is capable of testing the watch to ensure a waterproof seal to avoid damaging the internals.
