Touted as San Diego's premier wristwatch brand, Flexaago is a force in the luxury watch space, continually expanding its reach and captivating aficionados. The blend of distinctive designs and timeless craftsmanship has cemented Flexaago's place in the hearts of watch connoisseurs globally. Offering timeless styles for both men and women, the brand encapsulates its essence in the mantra "it's your time to flex," understanding the need to adorn oneself in both a practical and aesthetically pleasing manner.


The origins of Flexaago Watches can be traced to a broken timepiece on a school playground, a poignant childhood memory etched deep in the mind of its creator and founder, Abolaji Alabi. Recollecting those early years, Alabi shared, “When I was a little boy in elementary school, I had a friend, Obinna," recalling a moment that sparked his passion for watches. A broken watch and the inability to replace it left an indelible mark, forging a connection that would later become the foundation of Flexaago Watches.

As fate would have it, the bond between young Alabi and his friend, Obinna, grew stronger, and their families became intertwined. However, the memory of that broken watch and the desire to make amends lingered. Tragically, Obinna passed away during their senior year of high school, deepening Alabi's resolve to honor his friend’s memory.


Alabi is a graduate of The County of San Diego Black Chamber of Commerce (SDBCC), Urban Resource Center Bussiness Accelerator Cohort, and in 2020, with the uncertainties of a global pandemic, he decided that it was the perfect time to turn his childhood dream into reality. "During the pandemic, there was a lot of job loss, and I thought I needed to look outside of the box and see what I could actually do for myself and my family," Alabi recalled. As a result, Flexaago Watches was born—a brand that merged Alabi's passion with a childhood promise, aiming to create a thriving business that would support his family.


Flexaago Watches embodies a meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to quality in every piece crafted. Each model is thoughtfully named in a different global language, paying homage to life's most precious gift—time. With a wide range of prices to suit various budgets, Flexaago Watches invites you to explore their collection, offering a blend of elegance, meaning, and an ode to cherished memories.
