In the Hip Hop music game having jewelry has always been apart of a rappers attire. As Hip Hop grew and more money went into the rappers hands, the level of jewelry was upgraded. Not only that, but Rappers began to partner up with clothing companies in joint business ventures and this eventually lead to rapper s starting their own clothing lines.
It was only a matter of time before they began to get into other fashion accessories including colognes, perfumes and yes, watches. I will cover some of Hip Hop s various watch brands and go over some of their features and cost. Even though these watches were made by and for the Hip Hop community, they can be worn by others and often are.
G Unit Watches
In addition to G Unit Clothing, G Unit Records, G Unit Books and G Unit footwear, Rapper 50Cent also has his own brand of watches. The G Unit Watch Company began in 2003 under ecko unltd. by introducing an mp3 player watch. These watches can be purchased with either 256 megabytes or 512 megabytes of storage room. Other key features include retractable ear buds and a rubber strap.
The prices for the G Unit High Tech MP3 Watches are roughly one hundred and fifty dollars at most locations. Other G Unit models include the 2.00ct diamond GS9 that stays water resistant up to a depth of 100 meters under water and Swiss ETA quartz movement, the 1.45ct diamond GS7 with a adjustable patented rubber band, the 44mm face GS23 with a solid stainless steel case. Additional G Unit watches are the GS2SBlue, GS1S and the GS23 watch just to name a few.
Ecko Unlimited Watches
Just as the case with Rapper 50 Cent, Ecko also wears many hats in the fashion industry. They began in 1993 with a few graffiti style shirts and now they control several clothing brands, including G Unit clothing. As I said earlier, the Hip Hop fashions have given rise to Hip Hop watches as well. All of Ecko Unlimited Watches range below one hundred dollars and go up to over two hundred and fifty dollars for the prices. Below are some of the Ecko Unlimited watches available on the market;

Other Hip Hop Watch Brands
Rocawear Watches
Another example of Rappers venturing outside of the music industry going into fashion and accessories is Rocawear. Rocawear was launched by Shawn Carter (also known as Jay Z) and partner Damon Dash in the late 90 s. Rocawear has opened the door for other Hip Hop brands such as Sean Combs (also known as Diddy) Sean John line. Rocawear has many watch brands ranging from men s, wome s and unisex models.
Baby Phat Watches
Baby Phat is a top of the line Women s Hip Hop fashion brand. Started by the wife of the Def Jam records founder, Kimora Lee Simmons s Hip Hop wear also includes watches. All Baby Phat watches are made exclusively for women and feature the signature Baby Phat cat logo.
