The square cut features of the the Nixon Men's Block Watch may give it its name, but its superb functionality gives it its great reputation. This Nixon Block Watch's custom digital display features the time and date as well as a timer, a chronograph, an alarm, and a light so you have all your angles covered. The hardened mineral crystal and stainless steel case is waterproof to 100m for an unexpected push from your bro at the neighborhood pool party. The wide, custom-stitched webbing band remains comfortable and easy to wear so you can sport this watch day and night. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: Rock your block with the Nixon Men's Block Watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
