Nixon 51-30 PU Watch - Men's

This is one bad ass watch. And it is big so if you have a little arm I would suggest somethig else. The 51-30 has all the bells and whistles for a true waterman and it will be noticed when your wearing it around on the town. They are tough and very comfortable...if you're an adventurer try one out.

The most awesome watch..and returned it :( It was too much watch for my style and needs.. I recommend for someone that enjoys a large faced, tough, heavy watch...

Just got my new Nixon surf watch and I love it! Man this thing is BIG... it did take about week to get use to the size, but I really love it. Went ski boarding last week in Mammoth Mountain CA and it did great in the cold weather too! I've had more comments on this watch then any other!!

Want to get noticed? Throw a 51-30 on and hit the town. I swear, people FREAK when they see this watch. But don't mistake this for some oversized gimmick. It's a 300 meter watch (the 30 in 51-30), and has a SWISS MOVEMENT. It just won the SIMA "Accessory Product of the Year", no small feat either. The PU band is MUCH LIGHTER than the steel band, so if you're worried about weight, go with the PU.

Just received my 51-30 PU in black and purple today and I have to say that this one is a BEAST!

Couldn't ask for a better made product!

I paid for the 2 day shipping and backcountry got it here in 1 business day! Now that folks, is excellent service!

Thank you backcountry... I will definitely be ordering again in the near future!

I got this watch before a 6 month trip through south america, and it freakin rocks! I traveled through sweltering, muggy rain forests, freezing mountain tops, and riding big waves along the coast. Despite taking some huge wipe outs, the 51-30′s time remained perfectly aligned with my network synced computer’s time. If there was one drawback, it was the thing just looked so damn pretty – got a little sketchy looking that flashy in Columbia :P

you can get the watch (PU strap) for $25 cheaper ($299 instead of $324).

I am really hard on watches but this may be the last one I buy. I've had this watch for 3 years and after all the hiking, diving, and swimming there still isn't one leak, scratch, or problem. The locking looper that holds the band in place tore and had to be replaced but other than that this watch is a real good bet.

This sucker IS MASSIVE... and boy it is it a beaute... it is now easily my favorite watch and I have a crap load... the look is rugged and very easy to read. The numbers and arms do not glow which is a bit of a downer but honestly the look of this watch does not really need those added features (they should have colored the arms on the minute and hour white versus black/grey.)

Some description...

The watch sits about 1/2 inch off your wrist. It's a dominating piece worth envy of all on lookers and ooglers. The adjuster layout is fantastic and necessary - with the adjusters on the inside versus the outside you save the back of your hand a LOT of pain. I have the black with metal band... it's heavy... lots and lots of heft... no cheap watch feel here at all.

Hopefully you won't get this watch so I can stand out more hehe... seriously - a very nice time piece indeed!

I bought this based on Nixon's reputation for making superior watches. I have to say that it's quality and fitment are just perfect. This watch is very large in comparison to others, but it's not uncomfortable or gaudy. I went with the PU band because the metal was really heavy with the large diameter. Plus, i felt this was more of a casual watch so no metal band really was necessary. Give the plastic band a day or two to wear in and its super comfortable. In addition to a well placed clasp there is a band lock that works extremely well. Its pretty tough to get the band in and out of it at first, but you'll get used to it as it wears down. All in all. Excellent. I'll be buying another nixon for sure.

Well, the watch is AMAZING !! But i would like to talk about the great service of BackCountry. I am in Brazil and my parents is on vacantions in NY. I was kind of afraid to by online and send for the hotel that they are. Backcountry, with a perfect customer service, gives-me the safety that i need. Congratulations for your team, that is just the BETTER site i have ever buy.

I like large watches! 51 mm is LARGE! Simple. comfortable and super easy to read!
Rough and tough and stays in place! Your going to like this watch!

I love the size, maybe I'm compensating for other parts that I already have attached.

The tide indicator should be really handy for me next beach season. Always looking for the right time to catch a good wash for skimming or gettin' in the surf.

The thing that killed me was...it wasn't red! It's kind of orange pinky red.

I still like it, it's a great convo piece, but it ain't red.

umm it's cool if you dig the Flav -O-Flav looke- WAY to big to be considered for wearing while surfing

great !!!
