Nixon Player Watch

This is a nice watch:Pros: Special design. It looks very exclusive, but not so formal. Both a surfer dude, or an office clerk could wear this. It has two very cool symbols on both side of the glass. I have the silver one, and the white clock washer looks minimalistic and neutral. It's is waterproof down to 10 atmospheres (100 m) and it has scratch proof saphire glass. The whatch chain is also very solid, whith a nice locking mechanism, which prevents you from loosing it, until doomsday:-)I'm tired of those huge chronograph whatches, with lots of pointers that you realley never use. Instead, I now have a minimalistic an very solid watch, that fits in sporting activities, as well as in the office. Not too expensive.Cons: Looks a little glossy, Diamond on clock washer. I don't really know if I like that, but it's so small, so it's quite neutral. This is not a swiss made whatch. On the back, it says that mine is made in Japan, but some ones are being mounted in China.I gave it a full score, due to the very cool design, and that it's a whatch, after all, that's being very solid. Go for it!

I bought the Nixon Player watch w/ black face for my husband who is 27. First of all I have been trying to get him to wear a nice watch for 2 years. He won't he has the Rocker watch and that is the only watch he will wear. Lately we have been to a couple of functions that required a suit and he wore no watch because the Rocker as awesome as it is was just not up to par. For christmas I found the Player watch and decided to take a chance to see if he would wear it. Turns out it was a great gift. He loves it because he didn't have to give up his style since it's a Nixon. I love it because it's totally hot and now he has a nice watch. He has even been wearing his Player watch on everyday occasions, but still a Rocker fan. Thanks Nixon for great watches!!

Great Watch!! It is light when you wear it, but still has a heavy sturdy feel to it also. I have the all black one and i get a ton of compliments at parties and other events i go, so that is a plus. Only downsides are that the crystal scratches pretty easily from everyday sort of banging on stuff, and the carbide finish on the all black band does scratch and wear away after a while. but I have worn the watch everyday, night and day since i got it and i love it more than my seikos, swatches, and other watches. If you are even thinking about it, get it. and for the review(s) that say it is just for looks and not telling time, they don't know what they are talking about because as long as you know how to read a watch, this is no different

@ willrennie2150234: Send it back to Nixon in So. Cal...they'll replace it and send it back. I scratched the eff outta my "the banks" watch, I sent it in with $40 (US) for a replacement crystal...they ended up sending me a brand spanking new one (it was new since the band was back to the original size). I had to pay because it was my own fault, but your issue sounds like an issue with the mechanism. At least give 'em a bell during Cali. business hours, they're pretty helpful and friendly.
Cheers....

This watch looks great but still has a clean, simple style. Fits in at the office, but is still tough enough to get out on the trail or in the water if you so desire. I have pretty skinny wrists and, despite the fairly big face, this watch looks right at home. My only gripe is that sometimes it is hard to read the time, due to the lack of numbers on the face. But if you are looking for a watch more for its style than its functionality, look no further.

I live in the UK and this watch is paticularly expensive here. I'm sixteen so dont have alot of money and I worked for 6 full days in order for me to afford it. It looks expensive but I bought it 2 months ago and the time wont change on it. Also, the hour hand has now got stuck on elleven. Im just hoping that it doesn't fall off otherwise I will email my complaints to nixon watches countless times. Dont buy this watch!!!!!!!!!!

What else needs to be said. Sick watch. The newer ones are a little smaller face than the old school players, but they still look good. Dont be too fooled by the band though. Nixon takes PRO pics, but when you get it in the mail, the band will not look quite as two toned as is shown on their website. Extra links are also included which are SO NICE for the extra steezy loose look.

Guys, looking to turn the ladies heads? This Watch will do it!! the Nixon player is your watch! its your key to the ladies! nothing fits in better at a casual or formal party than the nixon player! its a watch that says, Manly strong but also elegant at the same time. Looking for the perfect watch? let me be the first to tell you that you have found it!!

I got the all silver watch. They titled this watch perfectly. A true player's watch. It's got a great look and weighs just right. Plus I got this watch in 5 days and that's sending it to a military address that's in Iraq!!!! Didn't expect it for like a week or longer. I strongly recommend this watch to any playa out there. Will be ordering more stuff from Backcountry.
