Luxury Watch Brands Get Sporty
Effective motivational merchandise reflects the lifestyle of the recipient, so it makes sense
that today's active, health-conscious workforce is gaining interest in sporty watches.
Sports styles should be included in any well-rounded selection of motivational timepieces.
These watches fall into two general categories, quartz or mechanical, says James
Feldman, president of Chicago–based James Feldman Associates. Quartz watches work
electronically, while mechanical timepieces rely on springs and gears to keep time.
Mechanical sports watches cost far more than their quartz counterparts.
Sporty quartz watches have seen a boost in popularity, thanks to rapidly dropping prices
and increasing functionality. "Inexpensive sports watches are so much better today than
they were a few years ago," Feldman explains. "As prices have come down,
functionalities have gone up. [Merchandisers offer] running watches that can track your
pace and heart rate, diving watches that tell how deep you are and how long you've been
under, and climbing watches with altimeters."
While inexpensive quartz sports watches have mass appeal, sporty mechanical
timepieces have enduring meaning, Feldman says. "Traditionally, the sign of success at a
car dealership has been the Rolex Submariner. It's a big, heavy, mechanical watch that
costs between $4,000 and $6,000 in silver, and up to $20,000 in gold."

Luxury Meets Lifestyle
As their popularity among consumers grow, sportier wristwatch styles are migrating into
luxury brands, and experts say that an upscale watch can have an sporty vibe without
relying on a rubber strap or an LCD display. As Allyson Krichman, senior director of
fulfillment at Rymax in Pinebrook, N.J., says, "It's not about sporty meaning a rubber watch.
We think of a sporty timepiece as having a little bit of an edge to it."
Mainly seen in men's watches, multiple-dial designs give luxury watches a sportier feel,
Krichman says. "And stainless steel bracelets definitely create sportier looks, both for
women's and men's watches."
Multiple functions can also give wristwatches a sportier look, says Joe Zanone Jr., senior
vice president at Mahwah, N.J.–based Movado Group Inc., and the extra functions can
have special utilities for activities on incentive trips. "For instance, a compass watch is a
great gift when companies take their incentive qualifiers out on hiking trips or send them on
teambuilding activities like scavenger hunts," he says. "For beach incentives, diving
watches are an obvious choice."
Zanone points out that sporty styles can be found on timepieces at all price points,
including the very high end. "For ladies, we can do something a little more sporty but we
dress it up with diamonds," he says. "The new SE Movado Collection for ladies comes with
a diamond bezel."
Whether an active competitor, or just an active benchwarmer, adding several sporty watch
options to your merchandise selection is a great way to get more participants in the game.
Here are eight great timepieces that will have of your performers racing to the finish line.

An Active Choice
As a reward, sports watches have a special status value, advertising the wearer's active
lifestyle. "If you're wearing a dive watch, people will think you're a scuba diver. If you're
wearing a watch with an altimeter, they'll think you're a mountain climber," Feldman says.
Companies like the fact that sporty timepieces encourage and reward physical activity and
good health. Arnold Light, founder of The Light Group, a White Plains, N.Y.– based
incentive house, managed a corporate sales meeting for a health care company where 200
sports watches were presented to attendees. The timepieces had moderate monetary
value, as they cost Light's client just $125 each, but the sporty wristwatches conveyed an
encouraging signal to participants.
"By giving out sports watches to attendees, the management was actually encouraging the
sales force to be active," says Light. "The watches became a motivation to become healthy
and stay healthy, and attendees appreciated the appropriately themed timepieces. People
liked the watches a lot."
