Product features
Watch Strap
Leash: The shark leash's velcro closure system is modeled after an '80s style surfboard leash. Dense nylon pile fits between two straps of nylon hooks to fasten securely to your wrist.
Clip: Much like a seatbelt, just clip in to keep your watch safe, snug and comfortable.
Silicone / Polyurethane Buckle: Like the look of a traditional buckle closure? This is the one for you.
Night Vision
Whether you spend your time working in the dark or you just want to be able to check the time when you wake up in the middle of the night, night vision is just one button away.
Luminous Hands
Luminous paint on the watch hands glows in the dark when fully charged up by exposure to sunlight or artificial light.
Dual Time
Want to know the time in two different locations at once? Not a problem. Our dual time feature lets you easily switch between the two, TIME and TM-2. Please note that if TIME is set for military time (24hr), TM-2 will display in the same format.
Dual Alarm
Have a hard time waking up in the morning? Dual alarms are the answer. Please note that each alarm is associated with one time. ALM1 is based on TIME and ALM2 is based on TM-2. To use both alarms, TIME and TM-2 must be set to the same time.
Dual Date
Two dates, one linked to TIME and the other linked to TM-2.
Hourly Chime
Shark watches have the option to set a chime to sound on the hour, every hour.
Chrono / Stop Watch
The chrono or stop watch feature lets you start, stop, and continue again to time events.
Countdown / Heat Timer
A countdown or heat timer counts down from a set number. These intervals are preset at 1 minute, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
Military Time
Shark watches can be set for 12 hour time or 24 hour time.
Hydro Pushers
Hydro Pusher is our name for our water resistant buttons which means you can press the buttons under water without the watch flooding.
Ratcheting Bezel
Our unidirectional, ratcheting bezel allows for an easier reading of elapsed time and ensures that if the bezel is accidentally moved, the time already spent underwater would be indicated as longer than actually spent, preventing the diver from assuming he has more time than he does.
Screw Down Crown
As with most steel dive watches, our dive watches are equipped with what is called a “screw down crown.” The crown is unscrewed in a counter-clockwise direction until it disengages from the case and then gently pulled out slightly until it engages the movement to set the time and date like most analog watches. Once the watch is set it is critical that the stem is pushed back in to reengage the movement and that the crown is screwed back down in a clockwise direction until tight to ensure that water does not enter the case when the watch is in water.
Date Window
The date window on our Freestyle watches displays the day of the month.
Chronograph
The three dials on a chronograph watch show how many seconds are passing within a minute, how many minutes are passing within an hour, and the number of hours passing within a 24 hour period.
Tide Data Built In
Built in tide charts predict high and low tide forecasts.
Sunrise / Sunset
Built in feature predicts sunrise and sunset forecasts.

Product features
Watch Strap
Leash: The shark leash's velcro closure system is modeled after an '80s style surfboard leash. Dense nylon pile fits between two straps of nylon hooks to fasten securely to your wrist.
Clip: Much like a seatbelt, just clip in to keep your watch safe, snug and comfortable.
Silicone / Polyurethane Buckle: Like the look of a traditional buckle closure? This is the one for you.
Night Vision
Whether you spend your time working in the dark or you just want to be able to check the time when you wake up in the middle of the night, night vision is just one button away.
Luminous Hands
Luminous paint on the watch hands glows in the dark when fully charged up by exposure to sunlight or artificial light.
Dual Time
Want to know the time in two different locations at once? Not a problem. Our dual time feature lets you easily switch between the two, TIME and TM-2. Please note that if TIME is set for military time (24hr), TM-2 will display in the same format.
Dual Alarm
Have a hard time waking up in the morning? Dual alarms are the answer. Please note that each alarm is associated with one time. ALM1 is based on TIME and ALM2 is based on TM-2. To use both alarms, TIME and TM-2 must be set to the same time.
Dual Date
Two dates, one linked to TIME and the other linked to TM-2.
Hourly Chime
Shark watches have the option to set a chime to sound on the hour, every hour.
Chrono / Stop Watch
The chrono or stop watch feature lets you start, stop, and continue again to time events.
Countdown / Heat Timer
A countdown or heat timer counts down from a set number. These intervals are preset at 1 minute, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
Military Time
Shark watches can be set for 12 hour time or 24 hour time.
Hydro Pushers
Hydro Pusher is our name for our water resistant buttons which means you can press the buttons under water without the watch flooding.
Ratcheting Bezel
Our unidirectional, ratcheting bezel allows for an easier reading of elapsed time and ensures that if the bezel is accidentally moved, the time already spent underwater would be indicated as longer than actually spent, preventing the diver from assuming he has more time than he does.
Screw Down Crown
As with most steel dive watches, our dive watches are equipped with what is called a “screw down crown.” The crown is unscrewed in a counter-clockwise direction until it disengages from the case and then gently pulled out slightly until it engages the movement to set the time and date like most analog watches. Once the watch is set it is critical that the stem is pushed back in to reengage the movement and that the crown is screwed back down in a clockwise direction until tight to ensure that water does not enter the case when the watch is in water.
Date Window
The date window on our Freestyle watches displays the day of the month.
Chronograph
The three dials on a chronograph watch show how many seconds are passing within a minute, how many minutes are passing within an hour, and the number of hours passing within a 24 hour period.
Tide Data Built In
Built in tide charts predict high and low tide forecasts.
Sunrise / Sunset
Built in feature predicts sunrise and sunset forecasts.
