The Duke - Nixon Watch Review
I just received my new Nixon watch in the mail today. It is The Duke and looks pretty cool. It has a brown strap and gold/brown faceplate on it. It looks pretty dressy, but not over the top so it suits my work quite well.
I ended up buying it on eBay for US$145 brand new. This is a fair bit cheaper than the stores. From what I have found, the Nixon Duke retails for around CA$230. It looks like the brown one is at this price and the rest of them are $280 and up.
The Duke is in Nixon's Business Class line of watches. Check out The Duke product page on the Nixon site.
The specs on the website are:
MOVEMENT
2 HAND SUPER THIN MOVEMENT WITH SWISS PARTS AND REAL DIAMOND
CASE
CUSTOM 30 METER STAINLESS STEEL WITH DOMED HARDENED MINERAL CRYSTAL, AND DOUBLE GASKET CROWN.
BAND
CUSTOM DOUBLE TONGUE IMPORTED LEATHER WITH CUSTOM STAINLESS STEEL BARS.
Why I Bought The Duke
The band is nice and wide, which is what I was looking for. The second reason is that the casing and metal is all the darker brushed silver look. I'm not one for bright colors and this does it up just right.
Drawbacks to The Duke
Only one as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't have the hour markers on the face. There are no markings at all except for the hands, Nixon logo, and a little jewel at the bottom. I am getting used to it, but you have to take that extra second to make sure you know what time it is.
There are a few different colors available so check them out on eBay or go to the Nixon site for the details. The best prices are definitely on eBay though.
