Although it may seem that the classic wristwatch has been virtually rendered moot by today's increasingly capable waves of cell phones, they are still invaluable assets, especially for athletes. A great sport watch provides loads of functionality a hair's length away without sacrificing a bit of style. Before you settle on a new sport watch, consider some of these stand out models that combine practicality and fashion.

Invicta Men's Reserve Subaqua Venom Swiss Quartz GMT MOP Dial Strap Watch

When considering sport watches, it'd be a crime to overlook the classic diver's watch. Invicta's eye catching Reserve Subaqua Venom Swiss Quartz GMT MOP Dial Strap watch does an incredible job of melding impeccable style, durability and functionality.

This watch's sturdy yet attractive black rubber band is decked with stainless steel inserts, to echo the accents of the silver tone stainless steel case. The unidirectional rotating bezel features a sandblasted out edge and Arabic numerals at ten minutes intervals as well as a shining polished silver tone inner band.

A generous layer of scratch resistant flame fusion crystal helps provide the Subaqua Venom's impressive 1000 meter water resistance while protecting the gorgeous platinum tinged mother of pearl dial. The watch face is ringed with white markers at each hour position with an inner 24 hour scale, which is indicated with a special hand. This capable watch is powered by Swiss Ronda 515 Quartz GMT movement.

Renato Men's Calibre Buzo II Swiss Quartz Chronograph Gunmetal Bracelet Watch

Of course, nothing sets a quality sport watch apart from the pack like full chronographic functioning. Renato's Calibre Buzo II Swiss Quartz Chronograph Gunmetal Bracelet Watch provides all the stop watch capability you're likely to need plus a healthy dose of high fashion.

This handsome watch is first set apart by its formidable bracelet, featuring a central row of polyurethane links surrounded by two rows of stainless steel gunmetal finished links. The strap flows seamlessly into the matching stainless steel case, which is topped with a round bezel that is secured with an inner stainless steel plate and four shining accent screws.

The watch's subtly textured dial, available in your choice of black, blue or yellow, is protected beneath a layer of sapphire crystal. Two sub dials flanking the center provide precise minute and second chronograph readouts while a third sub dial situated above 6 o'clock offers a handy alarm function. This exceptional timepiece is powered by reliable Swiss Ronda 5130 Quartz Chronograph movement.

Invicta Reserve Men's Leviathan Swiss Quartz Gold-tone & Silver-tone Watch

If you're looking for a sport watch that makes a decidedly bold impression on and off the field, look no further than Invicta's Leviathan Swiss Quartz Gold-tone & Silver-tone watch from the Reserve collection. A true head turner, this beauty provides plenty of chronographic functionality and tons of style.

The first thing you'll notice about this impressive piece is its shining unidirectional rotating bezel, which sports a gold tone bottle cap outer edge and a silver tone inner band with Arabic numerals at five minute intervals. The bezel rests on a stainless steel case with matching silver and gold tone accents and leads naturally to the unique bracelet that begins with a few rows of hybrid black rubber and gold tone links, but eventually fades to black rubber only.

The lovely dial is available in your choice of blue or black and offers three useful sub dials that track minutes, seconds and tenths of seconds for super accurate stop watch functioning. A day window appears just north of center while a date window is located near 4 o'clock. The watch's luminescent hands are powered by Swiss Ronda 5050E Quartz Chronograph movement.

Tag Heuer Formula One Men's Rubber Strap Watch

Last but not least, for a watch that suggests life in the fast lane, you can't go wrong with Tag Heuer's sporty Formula One Rubber Strap watch. Every element of this great wristwatch seems to suggest speed, especially its black rubber strap featuring a tread-like texture as the back drop for the Tag Heuer logo.

The strap connects seamlessly with a no nonsense silver tone stainless steel case that contrasts with the thick round bezel, featuring a bottle cap edge and Arabic numerals at five minute intervals. A layer of scratch resistant sapphire crystal protects the flat black dial, which is decked with the stately Tag Heuer logo just north of center.

The watch face also offers two precise retrograde sub dials near the 5 and 7 o'clock positions. Large Arabic numerals appear at 12, 3 and 9 o'clock while white markers appear at all others.

Whether you're a sporting watch enthusiast or you simply appreciate an excellent timepiece that combines function and form, you're bound to find an incredible watch that fits your exacting criteria.
