Better quality than expected

By:

I now have 3 nixons, all have been above average quality in materials and workmanship... for the price. The backlight took a crap on this model but i am delighted to say DOTG took care of me without hassle.

kick butt

By:

This watch kicks butt. It's sturdy and attractive. I have the all black w/green strap with red display. Only gripe I have is the red display is hard to see in certain light and angles, but it's not bad enough for me to do anything about. You'd have to tear this watch up on purpose.

pretty good watch

By:
September 27, 2009

i have this watch over a year now, the only thing i hate about it is that the screen schatches a lot since its not protected byt the frame enough, but i went thru hell with them, they work good the band is wide so they look very nice on you wrist, too bad they did not make the frame of the watch better so it would prevent the cratches, after a year i have like hundres of scratches on them bud other than that they work just fine

Great watch!

By:
July 21, 2008

I'm really happy with this watch. I got the white/black graphic one and I think it looks great. I do wish the canvas was a little thicker, but the watch head and clip are metal and seem sturdy enough. I love that its a wide band too. I have small wrists so i was thinking about getting the youth version (fidelity) but I compared both in person and the fidelity is a much smaller band in width and smaller face, but even with my wrist size the block watch still fits great, esp if you like the wide band look. The shipping was free and super fast!! It shipped on the 15th and was delivered on the 17th! I really like the graphics look on it too and the black/white will go with everything!

Stylish Watch but a little dim

By:
August 7, 2008

There are two main problems with the watch. The digital lights aren't bright enough so you have to push the back light or squint a little to see the time when indoors. The second problem is the dirtections provided to set the time aren't really how you set the time. It is a little confusing but once you get it it makes more sense. Over all the watch is cool looking and seems sturdy enough. A little concern on the longevity of the band but time will tell. The design and comfort are great. I would buy it again.

All colorways of the block watch are back lit by pushing the top left button. It is not really visible unless you're in the dark.

sicknasty

By:
December 16, 2009

Had it for about a year, got it with the all-black band. Sick watch all around, especially for snowboarding since it's heavy-duty and waterproof. Also a good watch to wear to concerts. The only gripe I have is that the color underneath the silver varnish isn't the same, so once the corners start to show wear you can really tell. Also, the numbers aren't as high-contrast as in the picture here, but there's a blue backlight which is pretty slick (not very bright though).

Display not dark enough

By:
December 1, 2009

The watch is a very nice looking watch, but I had to send it back because it was difficult to read the time. The numbers were not lit up dark enough. We saw the same watch at a store and it was also hard to read, so is this model. The band was also too small for my husband's wrist. We have had several different Nixon watches and they are great watches. I would not recommend this particular watch.

TANK!

By:
October 29, 2009

This bad boy is bulletproof. I left it under the hood of my car after installing a car stereo system and literally like 6 months later found it there. I ran it through the dishwasher and it looks great still. The browns are a little different than in the picture. The metal part is not so gold looking - its a little more brassy, but totally a great value for a thick band Nixon.

All around great watch

By:
October 27, 2009

I've had this watch for about two years now, and it looks as great now as the day I bought it. It's been dropped directly on concrete, showered in rainstorms, dropped in Lake Superior, plus myriad other abuses and it's holding up just fine. I've received a lot of compliments on the looks of this watch. Just got the battery replaced for the first time. I really love that it has four different alarms, and the chrono feature has come in handy during college labs doing hydrological testing. Display is really easy to read as well. Looks like they've updated the colors and it looks better than ever. If you want a watch that performs well anywhere you use it, you will like this watch.

Sick watch. But...

By:
October 15, 2009

The watch is very low profile and fits nicely under longsleeves and sweaters. Got tons of compliments on it and everything worked. The only flaw is the watch band started to fray the second day I had it, so i traded it for a leather watch.

Dope watch... I'd buy it again

By:
February 4, 2009

This is an awesom watch. I wanted somethig a little less dressy than "the player" i bought abt 3 months ago, so i got the all black/ green band. I wear it to work and sometimes when i go out. I've gotten so many comlpements on this watch. My only gripe is, the buttons are a little tricky to get used to pushing in at 1st (you gotta push them in REALLY strait).

got the all black/green watch, I thought it looked great online, but when I got my paws on it it was just a little smaller than I had hoped, the biggest setting was barely big enough for me, and the watch itself was kinda small too, also the red numbers were really hard to read.

The Block Watch...

By:
April 2, 2008

I really like this watch. It's simple yet sleak. I love the design of the watch as a whole but mostly because of the digital display design. Especially the all green strap with the all black watch because the digits are really red.

Something to watch

By:
June 20, 2006

I bought the block for a three week adventure through Iceland and Scotland. I needed a watch with an alarm, the ability to show different time zones, for writing deadlines, and a light. The block did all this and with style. At first the band felt a little large but shortly after it just became a part of my wrist. It stood up to some abuse as well as a good amount of water time. I am very pleased with my purchase and will have no problem purchasing another.
