Voted as a favorite in Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine in The O List as a great gift under $100 and featured in People Magazine as a pick for Guilt-Free Shopping, TOCS watches are in demand due to their ‘recessionista’ factor. TOCS watches are bold, playful and make a statement without making a statement on your credit card.

TOCS Trend

TOCS, an acronym for “Timepieces Of Color and Style”, combine bold shapes, interesting numerical layouts and high octane colors with high tech, shock resistant materials and rubber wristbands to create the ultimate in a watch – fashion forward yet durable and all under $75.  The Analog Round Glitz (pictured above) is perfect for that casual but upscale event with it crystal-studded face and bright colors. The Analog Oblong, the pick of Oprah, is more subdued and elegant but still comes in daring colors. People Magazine’s choice of TOCS, Analog Round Day-Date automatically changes the day and date and its whimsical design will surely brighten your mood.

Mens’ TOCS

Women aren’t the only ones that get to take part in the affordable fashion of the TOCS trend. The Mens Sporty Diver watch and the Mens Metal Sport are definitely in demand. The large round polycarbonate plastic case offers a classic yet trendy design coupled with colorful comfortable soft resin straps – great for casual or sports wear.

Solar Powered TOCS

You never have to wind a watch again or replace another watch battery because TOCS’ Ani-Digi Solar Alarm Chrono watch features a mini solar panel. It can be powered by the sun or by indoor lighting, but also features a lifetime back-up battery system just in case. If you spend time in the water, don’t let the solar panel deter you. It is water resistant up to 98 feet. It comes in six different colors and time is displayed using both analog and digital. It has a reminder alarm, a dual time zone feature and also a handy digital stop watch. Also a pick of  Real Simple, listed under Real Steals and LATP has to agree with them. For only $45 dollars, the Ani-Digi Solar Alarm Chrono watch is power packed with features and durability.
