Congrats to the crew at Atwater! If you’re in the Newport/Costa Mesa area this probably isn’t surprising news, you’d have to be living under a rock not to see the steady rise of the Atwater Mindstate, not to mention the all White Tigers shredding the streets and beach. If this is the first time you’re hearing about them then it surely won’t be the last. Check out the Atwater website and fan up the Atwater facebook page! Hmmm, what about an Atwater x Shark collab in the future? Food for thought, what do ya’ll think?

Every once in a while a simple innovation comes along to set itself apart from the masses. In watch design, there is generally only one rubber/polyurethane band closure style. You know it well; it’s the same as your belt, in which you cinch it down by entering the buckle in the best fitting hole. We are happy to announce we have developed a unique and patented watch band design featuring a nonrestrictive mesh like material we are calling Free Fit Technology. No longer are you restricted to the set holes on your watch band, you are now free to buckle your watch anywhere along the mesh material, assuring the perfect fit on your wrist. Finally, without out the fuss of finding the correct hole for the buckle, you can do this with your eyes closed or in the dark, when it feels good just buckle it down! Currently Free Fit is only available on the Navigator 2.0, but in the near future you will see this innovation popping up in more of your favorite Freestyle Watches.

This is an ongoing argument in the Freestyle office, which team is legit? Half us like the Angels, the other half like the Dodgers causing a lot of trash talking on a daily basis, the Angels are soft, Manny’s on ‘roids, blah blah blah. As of today, the teams have virtually identical records and are sitting on top of their divisions, hopefully on a collision course for the World Series. So let’s hear what you think? Which team is better, which color Shark Watch would you rather wear?

Based on the lore of the giant prehistoric Shark, we humbly introduce the Freestyle Megalodon, an oversized 48mm monster case to help you take a bite out of your fashion woes. Fortunately, we aren’t just tooting our own horns, ESPN Action Sports just picked it as one of the 10 Best gear items under $100 in their online feature, Re-Session Gear. Definitely worth a look next time you’re at your favorite shop.

Here’s a TOTALLY rad shout out to Revolt Magazine and bikini model Emily Tisdale for rocking the Shark Classic 80’s cyan in the Volume 23, Issue 4.We highly recommend you pick up an issue on the double as there’s an incredible 8 page’s of gorgeous bikini ladies in this sucker. Our favorite of course isEmily because she’s rocking our gear, but we also got to give props to the gang at Revolt for making it happen and for putting together the most awesome issue to date.
