With so many characters, moves, and combos it's going to be a while before you can unlock all aspects of the game.

For the last 26 years, Jim Jannard and his brainchild Oakley have been reshaping conventional wisdom, transforming everyday products like sunglasses, prescription glasses, goggles, clothing, hats, shoes, and even watches into functional works of art. Make hay while the sun shines – literally! It all started in 1975 with an inventive salesperson, a funky-looking grip called Unobtanium and a dog named Oakley. Jannard introduced his wild sunglass design to the world but realized its potential only when he received an inquiry from no less a celebrity than the legendary cyclist, Greg LeMond. And the rest is history! Today, Oakley sells so many Oakley Sunglasses, it goggles the mind! And, not without reason. Every model is upped with the most revolutionary technology. Consider the exceptional Plutonite and Iridium lens coatings, the do-it-yourself custom-made glasses, and the mind-blowing Thump MP3 Sunglasses (Your ears are on your head, so why should your music system hang on your waist? – avers the punchline). No wonder then that the market is flooded with replica Oakley Sunglasses and fake Oakley Sunglasses (Foakleys as they are popularly known.) – Imitation is the best form of flattery you see.

I have been a faithful Timex fan and love their IRONMAN Watches for their new sleek design. I am not a "triathlon runner" but I am a "Triathlon Mom", with 2 boys ages 2 and 5, running around chasing and cleaning dishes and muddy shoes! Timex watches are awesome and affordable! I "ran" the Boston marathon last year. The group that I trained with runs for 3 minutes and then walks for 2 minutes during our training runs. The watch I had alternated between these intervals, sounding an alarm after each. The buttons are extremely intuitive, making it easy to use even with quite a few features to master. Timex boasts a very large range of athletic sports watches and will always remain a favorite of mine. But they manufacture so many watches that its really tough to choose the right model, so I have scraped the cream off the top and here you will find the best models.

Seiko does not believe that anyone requires a $400 watch let alone a $4000 watch. With that in mind they strive to deliver the quality and looks (a matter of personal taste) of a much more expensive watch on what would be considered a budget price for many. If you are not one who buys a watch just for the name (tag heuer, rolex, breitling, omega), you will be thrilled with this reliable timepiece. For 3-4 times as much you might get a watch that may not be as nice looking or accurate, with fewer features, but which does have one of the fancier names attached. I personally have owned 5 watches of varying brands and grades of quality. Of those three are by Seiko and one is my favorite. I have yet to go into a store and see a watch I like better than that one.

Timex has consistently produced watches that appeal to the younger active generation by introducting innovative designs and technology, like the Indiglo ® night-light, which was named one of the best products of the year by Fortune and Business Week in 1993. Since then other publications have named Timex as one of America's favorite watch brands, next to marketing powerhouses like Nike and Levi's. Timex remains a favorite of mine becasue not only are they extremely affordable, and stylish, but the quality of the brand is unmistakable. These are really tough watches.
