Would it be excessive to get another one?
I own four Freestyles — this ‘Maliblu’ Shark, a Luke Davis Wave (that has the Japanese wave on the dial and strap), a Camo ‘Boot Camp’ analog Shark…and my favorite dive watch — my stainless steel Hammerhead.

I am tempted to buy a 5th Freestyle — the Mojave. Its desert sand and volcanic rock colors translate nicely into a watch that would look fantastic with muted clothing…or when out in the wild wrestling Ursus arctos horribilis.
Should I do it (it’s only 65 bucks plus tax)? Or am I being excessive? Should I put that money to my heating bill?

Time dictates my linear path to its bitter end. My watches keep me one step ahead of time…and one foot out of the grave.

I love it so I'm gonna say no it's not
Yes, if it brings you joy , why not?? Life is too short to worry! 👍🏻
Okay I'm looking at these on their site and I'm almost definitely gonna have to get one lol, I'm loving the loud 86-96 colors!
Since you own 5 of these, do you have any opinions on their quality for "sweaty/shock "applications like the gym?
How bright is their light?

I frickin love them. The straps are a really light fabric — very ‘airy’. If you go swimming with the watch, the strap does get soaked but dries fast. I haven’t noticed any fading of the fabric. The watch module packs a lot of functions. It even has pre-selected timer options for quick timing. Its night vision backlight is top notch…and you can push the buttons under water.

Ah so if I'm hearing you right definitely better to go digital rather than analog?
Im a sucker for sales so I'm thinking https://www.freestyleusa.com/products/shark-classic-clip-kaleidoscope
gotta catch em all...
Wait, you’re asking a bunch of people who COLLECT watches, post photos of their ENTIRE collection, on a watch collecting site if it’s excessive to get another one! NO!!! ITS NOT! I have 2 Timexes and 2 Citizens with only a different colored dial! If you like it, get it! I’m sure no one here can judge! ;-)

Well…my analog Shark is my least favorite. But my 200m Hammerhead is my favorite out of the bunch. It’s a stainless steel diver with an electro back-light that makes the dial glow.
Dang! That kaleidescope is one of their ‘classic’ colorways…and being on sale is a real bonus! Those colors are wild!
gotta catch em all...
Touché!

Very well-said!
They look like a ton of fun and they dont seem to be expensive.
If you have the spare money, why not?
