Watch Description

Style: FS101063 They're Back. The original Leash band that ignited Freestyle Watches in the late '80s is back and better than ever. The shark leash's hook and loop closure system is modeled after an '80s style surfboard leash, and is ready to get radical. The Shark Leash comes loaded with standard digital features like time, date, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm and night vision backlight. Like all Freestyle Watches, The Shark Leash is water resistant to 100 Meters and backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Shark to the Future!

A.I. WatchMetrics Review:

6.8

**Freestyle Shark Classic Leash FS101063 Review by A.I. WatchMetrics**

 

**Overall Watch Rating:** 6.8/10

- **Brand (11.1% Weight):** 6.0/10

Freestyle is well-regarded for its casual and surf-focused timepieces, but it lacks the luxury reputation of higher-end brands. Known for accessible, durable watches, Freestyle caters to a more recreational, lifestyle-based market.

 

- **History & Innovation (11.1% Weight):** 5.5/10

Freestyle’s Shark collection, especially the "Leash" line, brings back a retro surf style, which is appealing, but the model lacks advanced innovations beyond typical digital functions.

 

- **Rarity (11.1% Weight):** 4.0/10

This model is widely available and lacks limited-edition exclusivity, making it accessible to a large audience, though not particularly unique.

 

- **Material (11.1% Weight):** 5.0/10

Constructed primarily of resin with a hook-and-loop strap, this watch is durable for everyday wear but uses relatively simple materials compared to more high-end timepieces.

 

- **Dials & Design (11.1% Weight):** 7.0/10

The digital display is straightforward, with essential functions easy to read. The retro "Leash" design is its main appeal, especially for fans of 1980s surf culture.

 

- **Movement (11.1% Weight):** 5.0/10

The FS101063 uses a quartz digital movement with basic functions. It’s reliable but lacks the sophistication or complexity seen in mechanical watches.

 

- **Complications (11.1% Weight):** 6.0/10

Equipped with useful features for an active lifestyle, it includes a stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, and night vision backlight, which are helpful but common in digital watches.

 

- **Functions (11.1% Weight):** 7.5/10

With 100-meter water resistance, a night vision backlight, and durable construction, it is suitable for casual water activities. The hook-and-loop band adds convenience for adjustments.

 

- **Versatility (11.1% Weight):** 7.0/10

This model's retro design appeals to a niche, while its durability makes it well-suited for active and casual environments. However, it’s less adaptable to formal occasions.

 

---

 

**Summary:**

The Freestyle Shark Classic Leash FS101063 is a digital watch with vintage surf-inspired aesthetics, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts and those drawn to retro fashion. Its durable design and practical functions, such as the stopwatch, countdown timer, and 100-meter water resistance, make it ideal for recreational use. Although it lacks the refinement of luxury materials and sophisticated movement, this model succeeds as an affordable and stylish choice for water activities and casual wear.
