Men, women and kids are invited to submit photos of themselves wearing their watches in unusual locations, doing fun or unusual things, and using creative photographic techniques.

The 1st place winner will receive the complete set of eight (8) SlapWear watches – which can be mixed and matched to create 64* color combinations. (Ok – so technically not 64 watches but your friends will be none the wiser when they see you wearing a different watch 64 days in a row!) 2nd place gets two watches of their color choice. 3rd place gets one watch.

Wear four on each wrist and always know what time it is in Toronto, Singapore, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Paris, Buenos Aires, London, and where ever you live. Have fun making color combinations of your favorite sports teams or schools. Or keep one and give the rest away to seven of your closest and most stylish friends. Hook them all over the house and have watch-hunt parties. The possibilities are endless.Our reigning favorite fan photo! ATL band, von Grey modeling SlapWear in the recording studio.

It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise that in this age of digital media overload, the wristwatch is the accessory you can’t go without. Especially for teens and young adults, who don’t remember life before cell phones, the watch could be one of the coolest things to come along in years!

While most of us over 25 are not new to the concept of the watch, the new trends in looks, comfort and function speak right to sense of style and practicality.

But don’t take our word for it. Check out this article from Minnesota Public Radio.

Says one fashion-conscious D.C. 17 year-old, teens are only going for one type of watch: “a big, bulky waterproof watch in all colors — clear, pink, blue, yellow, orange, black,” complete with a thick band and a large face plate.

You mean something like this, 17 year-old fashion-conscious teen?

Orange" you glad you found SlapWear?
