Like clockwork for the next ten months, Freestyle USA will be unveiling a series of limited-edition Shark watches, each in a color scheme commemorating the notable events taking place during the month of release. Only 500 pieces of each 20×10 Special Edition Shark Watch will be released, and each will feature all the standard features: day, month and time display, two alarms, a stopwatch with split screen function, a countdown heat timer, a night vision backlight display, and water resistance up to 100 meters.
The introductory watch, introduced earlier this month, features a bright yellow and blue band, a green rubber casing along the dial, and another red square along the perimeter of that green square casing. I'm still speculating about all the different colors and why they were selected. I'm assuming the red is a reference to Valentine's Day (or maybe National Wear Red Day on Feb. 5th), and I'm guessing the blue references winter sports (and maybe even the Winter Olympics). As for the green, it might perhaps be a nod to Super Bowl (as in green football fields), and the yellow could maybe evening primrose, since some say the evening primrose is the flower of choice for the month of February (though if I let my imagination roam, I start thinking it might be a reference to Mardi Gras since yellow, green and purple tend to abound in decorations for the festival).
I can't wait to overanalyze the March edition!
