Dubai Fitness Challenge

Watches built for every rep, step, and finish line

The Dubai Fitness Challenge is back and the city’s about to become your playground. Runs before sunrise. Circuits after work. Weekends that start on the track and end by the water. This EDIT lines up watches that don’t just look sharp but work hard and keep pace with every move. Curated by EDIT by Ahmed Seddiqi for a month when momentum matters.

Street Pace, Sport Focus

Training feels better when the fit hits right. Adidas brings sport DNA with street attitude. Ready for intervals, hill sprints, and everything between. The Blue Resin model delivers a clean burst of colour with a case and strap that feel light on the wrist. Go stealth with the Black Translucent Resin, a layered look that moves from gym floor to coffee stop without even trying. When you want function upfront, the City Tech One Grfx and City Tech Two Grfx stack useful displays and practical timing, so sessions stay structured. And for a blast of energy, get the AdidasBlack Resin with Orange Dial that brings the A-game to your wrist. The basketball-inspired face captures the spirit of passion and play, built for those who carry love for the sport beyond the court.

Impact Ready

Casio G-SHOCK is made for effort. Tough shells. Clever builds. Zero fuss. The Earth Series GM-110EARTH-1ADR wraps a metal case around a dial that nods to the planet, and it’s built to take knocks while you chase the next personal best. Prefer a neater fit? The Women’s Youth Ana-Digit 42mm brings the same attitude in a slimmer profile with a grey strap that feels easy to wear all day. Or do you want something that looks totally different? The G-B001MVB-8DR leans into bold form with shock resistance that laughs off burpees and box jumps. Set the timer. Hit the set. Keep going.

Beyond the Stopwatch

Not every session needs a full data dump. Sometimes you want clean lines and confidence with performance in the build. The Doxa SUB 600T Caribbean brings diver heritage to the pool with a punch of ocean blue that feels right under the sun. Oris turns the Aquis into a daily driver. The ladies’ Multi Colour adds playful personality without losing its solid nature, while the gents’ Black Automatic brings steel presence and purposeful finishing. Fossil’s Machine Quartz 44 mm takes inspiration from classic American machinery. Rugged, masculine, and built to last, it’s made for those who like their watches to work as hard as they do.

And Victorinox Swiss Army brings precision and endurance to the mix with two pieces built for life on the move. The Air Pro Automatic 43 mm is made for open skies and outdoor grit, engineered for focus and reliability wherever the trail leads. The Dive Pro Automatic 43 mm takes that same spirit underwater, blending performance and polish with a design that looks as sharp on land as it does beneath the surface.
