What is your collection theme and which stories are you telling to get customers stoked on boardsports watches?
The main message for the Quiksilver & Roxy watches is to provide to the consumers a full waterproof watches range with price points from 59€ to 79€ and tide watches under 100€.
Our best argument for the retailers is the efficiency of our after sales service. Defective problems are current for every watches brand so we focus on providing the best after sales service under 48h to satisfy the clients and to give a longer life to the products.
We want to link our different apparel universes to the watches: water/ snow / lifestyle focusing on important details which match each universe:
Lifestyle: trend, casual & fabrics
Water: waterproof, tide & comfort
Snow: comfort & style
What makes this product category important to your brand?
Watches take part of our technical divison with sunnies, optics, goggles & helmets.Those technical products have always been relevant for our brands and bring technicity, credibility to the core market and consumers who expect adding values to the products.
What are the main features boardsports customers demand from a boardsports watch?
Main features are comfort, quality, waterproofness, style, durability & tide informations
Which technical features are you the most proud of?
Slimest tide watches on the market=> Quiksilver Addictiv pro tide & Roxy Slim tide.
The problem with the tide watch is that they use to be thick du to a special movement.
We developed a slimmer case to integrate our special tide movement. This watch is the best one to wear under a wetsuit.

We try to be linked to our apparel collections bringing the same colors & artworks
