Freestyle USA Shark Classic Mid 80's Sport Watch - 2008 BCS

Item # FST0039

They say that smell arouses the strongest sense of nostalgia. Clearly, "they" haven't seen the Freestyle USA Shark Classic Mid 80's Watch. This little piece of history hearkens back to the days of Hypercolor and Miami Vice, when Poison ruled the airwaves and MTV actually played music videos. Freestyle gave the Shark Classic Mid a bodaciously 80's color scheme to match all your Ocean Pacific and Body Glove gear, with a Mid size case that's perfect for smaller wrists. So if all this is making you a little misty, it's either because you sprayed too much Rave in your hair this morning, or you're remembering how totally rad to the max your first Shark Watch made you feel. Make it happen again.

Bottom Line:

The Shark is back in town, spread the word around.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Not great

By:

Although it is a nice, sleek, small size for a woman's wrist, I didn't find this watch to be super user friendly. The side buttons are super sensitive. Every little bump would "beep" and cause the screen to change to a different mode. Also, it developed condensation under the screen after 6 months (no swimming involved). Bummer. Returning it.

Classic 80's Shark Watch

By:
June 23, 2008

The watch is smaller than it appears in photos, the band is less than 1/2 inch wide. It is nice for surfing since it is so small and light...but the band sometimes comes open but hasn't fallen off all the way yet. You can slide the safety loop up to the clasp, but overall it looks like it will come off in powerful waves...Good thing its summertime in Maui! Looks ultra retro and turns heads all day!!!!!!!!!

I loved this watch to death. Literally I wore it until the strap broke at one of the size holes. I had the pink, blue, and yellow version and it went with everything I wore and fit like a glove. Very low profile, small face perfect for a little petite wrist like most little ladies.

I love this watch. Super cute and functional. I have the light blue color and it does get dirty pretty quickly. Still looking for ways to get it to sparkle again.

Small, effective, handy

By:
May 23, 2010

Love this thing. Wanted a lite, small watch that tells time, has a light for the night, and could handle water. This does all of those, plus has two pieces that stick out of the strap that "lock" the strap holder in position so it isn't always sliding off. I like that a lot. One other review said the watch changing settings automatically. Mine does not do this, but if you bump a button it could change from Time 1 to Time 2, or Time to Date very easily, which admittedly can be a touch annoying. But just hit the button again and it's back to where you had it.

I am an adult, however, I have a very small wrist. This watch fits perfectly. I am a referee and have worn one of these watches day and night for a couple of years. Works great and is EASY to use.

Good watch but not great

By:
March 2, 2010

I bought this little watch for my lady who was in need of some time on her wrist. She loves the watch and how it fits her wrist. Me on the other hand; I have some issues with it. The light doesn't function very well which makes it hard to use at night. She loves it nonetheless and that is all that matters.

Love Hate

I love this style watch so much. It's great just being able to wear it all the time, I never have to take it off. The only problem is that the band stains quickly and easily and there is no way to get it clean.. so it ends up looking dirty and grungy.

I bought the Freestyle Shark Classic Mid 80's watch for my girlfriend, and I'm very glad I made the purchase. Not only does she love it, but it also fits her great and looks good. Due to the small face on this watch, I would recommend it for women and girls.

Little girl loves it

By:
January 14, 2009

I bought this watch for my daughter who is 9. It is the perfect size for her and she absolutely loves it. It was her favorite Christmas present and she only takes it off if I tell her. She is able to work all the functions and uses most of them every day for things like home work (timers), alarms, stop watch for playing etc.

The watch is very well made, the plastic is very sturdy and the strap is a nice heavy rubber. She got the black and pink color and all the kids just love it when they see her wear it.

backcountry.com shipping and order fulfillment was crazy fast and I was very pleased with ordering from them. Good job backcountry.com!
