Nixon watches

[Brennan Huff]

Have you heard good things about their watches?

I'm a big fan of their un-indicted co-chronometer.

I am wearing one right now. I love it, It is a decent watch for the money. I wear the Rover with the silver face.

cool, thanks.
im looking to buy the rotolog in leather midnight. not too sure if the fit is adjustable for the enamel band watches. any input?

"Fashion" watches are like cheap toys you'll get tired of soon enough. Get something from an actual watch company.

For the money you can get a Seiko 5 automatic watch. A bit more and you'll be looking at Seiko, Christopher Ward, Hamilton, Poljot etc... There have been many threads on inexpensive watches, do a search and you'll find many specific suggestions.

I have a rotolog with the bamboo. It's a fun watch for the price and I think I get more comments on it than any other watch I own.

Huh, I would have thought you would have preferred the Deep Throat model.

The problem with Nixon watches... every so often they lose eighteen minutes.

My friend wears a bright orange rotolog. I think it's a cool watch but I don't like the colour... Works for him with his bright kicks and bape stuff I guess. The more conservatime trims are nice, and although not a "real" watch, its very nice and seems to have held up very well (especially considering the way its treated)

i was considering the dark wood, but if the band doesn't fit can it be adjusted and still fit flush?

i bought a nixon rotolog with the wood finish a couple of years ago. Obviously you're not getting it as a timepiece moreso than for the cool looking band because that thing is a ***** to tell time with. If it's the middle of the day, I can't tell if it's 2:30 or 3:30. It's nice enough for casual wear. The batteries died on me after about a year. Be aware that it is powered by 3 batteries, so it will be a bit to replace. I think it was overpriced for $200.

so you wouldn't wear this model watch (or the black/gold/leather one) with a suit?

Depends on your age, style and purpose of the suit.

If you're on the rather young side and wearing a more "fashion-forward" slim fitting suit for a night on the town, or a wedding with a bunch of your buddies around your age, I don't see why not. I would not wear that watch to work in a professional environment because it is not a professional watch. If I saw a client or colleage wearing the watch I would think, not most appropriate, but that's me.

You got the "tricky dick" watch . Next time get the "I am not a crook" watch.
