Time Machines

If you’ve long believed that watches stopped being relevant during the time ESPN’s TV real estate was confined to one channel, you’ve been sitting on the sidelines. Innovative, sleek and decidedly statement-making, designers’ newest timepieces are among fashion’s most valuable players—and are prime for being drafted into your go-to accessories pool. This season, get the trend just right by selecting a style with a stainless-steel face, a rubber strap and plenty of mad skills (many can calculate speed and even distance on the field)—and don’t hesitate to go another round, via a second pick, or even a third. When it comes to getting your sporty fix, a single source has never been enough.
