The Nixon Women's Vega Watch is a chunky, funky wrist accessory for a good cause. Nixon will donate proceeds from the Vega to Boarding for Breast Cancer. And if giving back isn't reason enough, then being fashionable is. Don't worry about how to wear your watch amid your big bracelets and punk rock wrist bands; the Vega is all of them at once. This watch will fit the wrist of any girl, thanks to its stretchy band with wide rubbery panels and radical colors. You'll get so caught up in the Vega Watch's hot look, you might forget that it also keeps you punctual with three-hand Japanese quartz movement. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: Nixon continues to think beyond familiar design—the Vega Watch is proof.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Nixon Vega, Love the Hotness.....

By:
January 2, 2009

This watch is just like the pic. It looks great and feels great, according to my wife. The face has no numbers, but there are long hash marks at the 12,1,2,3,6,7,and 8. Little circles that look like paint spots are the rest(just like the pic). Worried about scatches on the face, just roll to the inside of your wrist. She says she gets asked all the time where she got it. At BC

Very iffy watch.
Size is huge. May/May not be what you expect.

Quality of the watch is also not that good, but for $50, what more to expect.

I was wanting to buy 5 of your watches for my bridesmaids to wear at my wedding reception but was wondering if you give any additional discounts? If you do could you send me a promo code. I would like to purchase 2 lime green and 3 neon blue. Thanks for your help.

VERY Cute!!

By:
April 2, 2010

I love this watch! I am a food server and I get compliments all the time from my customers. The first time I wore it to work, all my co-workers wanted to snatch it off my wrist. It is big...but it's bold and cute and definitely makes a statement. Now I want more colors...

I bought this watch thinking it would fit my really small wrists based on the reviews, but it is still huge on me! Worst part, I don't think you can remove any links. I'm really bummed out because I love the style...it's just way too big.

It is designed to fit a little big, like some bracelets and such, but if it is huge on you I would keep looking.

The description says it has a stainless steel housing...does that mean that the back plate is stainless steel? is there any stainless steel on the watch that would be in contact with the wrist?

The whole piece surrounding the face is stainless steel with the plastic covering, except the back part touching the wrist, which is exposed metal.

Really fun watch

By:
January 7, 2010

I get compliments on this thing constantly - it looks like a big chunky bracelet and the colors are vivid and fun. It is a little tight on me even though i have very small wrists, so i can't imagine it'd be super comfortable on everyone. Its size is sometimes annoying, but since it's more of an accessory than just a functional watch, i can live with that.

Lovely watch

By:
August 19, 2011

It might have been silly of me to buy this, since I already have one in a mint sort of color but I just love the style and look of the watch. Besides being an amazing watch, it often gets confused for a chunky bracelet, which is cool, a very functional piece of jewelry.

Looks great...for about a month

By:

I really love the look of this watch and have owned several. It's super cute and still functional, but it gets scratched very easily. And as with most Nixon watches, the battery dies relatively quickly.

Love this watch and I immediately received compliments on it. I let one gal in my office try it on because she asked me where I found it and said she was looking for a white watch. I referred her to the website and she bought one right away!

Awesome watch.

By:
January 30, 2011

I bought my Vega from Backcountry about 2 years ago. Since then I have bought three more for friends/family as presents because they loved mine so much. They made great gifts. I recently had to buy my mom new one identical to her old one, which she lost. She got so many complements on it that she wanted the exact same color again. Thanks for keeping this great watch in stock BC.

Yes the design in the Flourish color DOES go all the way around the band of the Nixon Vega Watch. Also the inside of the band has a repeating imprint of the Nixon logo.

My sister absolutely loved this watch we got for her for Christmas. We got her the neon pink color and she raved. She says it's very comfortable and we loved that it was from Nixon so we could trust it. Good watch!

I don't know...

By:
January 20, 2010

The watch is super cute in the picture and also looks awesome when it arrives. Then, it slowly starts to drive you crazy because it is so big! I wore it a few times because it is sooo cute, but then I just kept looking at my wrist thinking how ridiculous I looked. I just wish it was 1/2 the size....then, perfection!

Maybe, just not my style.

Nixon also has a smaller version (I would say half the size) it's called the Misty. I haven't looked for it on BC but I'm sure you can find it easily online if they don't have it.

What are the dimensions of the watch? Also how big is the circumference of the bracelet? thanks!

This is a really old answer but, the face is 1 inch 3/4 long, and 1 inch +/- tall. Circ. is 8 1/2 round but can stretch about 9 or 10, but then you deal with gaps in between.

I bought this Nixon Vega watch in brown as a graduation gift to my boyfriend's 17 year old daughter and she loves it! Her friends has a white colored one and she's so proud to wear it at the same time. It's fashionable and really looks cool!

I got this watch in black and pink and gave them as gifts for Christmas. It went over very well. The watch is very oversized and stylish. Unique - you probably won't see lots of people with something similar.

Vega Watch

By:
April 27, 2007

I purchased this Vega watch for my girlfriend and she loves it. It is very large, larger then what we expected. The watch is very worth the price that I paid. The watch is made from hard plastic and is held together by a flexible rubber cord that runs through the middle and is wraped in some sort of string or cloth to give it a better look. I have to say that this watch is great gift to buy if you are a guy looking to get out of the dog house!

I always get compliments from it. People think it's a bracelet and not a watch. I want to get it in all the colors.
Only thing is it gets a little sweaty if you wear it during warm weather.

This watch is cute. It was too bug for my liking. It looked like a bracelet I wore back in elementary school. What is nice is that style is back for jewelry. If you wear it matching your outfit it is cute. It was just not my style. Wish I could have pulled the style off.

The Nixon Vega is a fantastic accessory for a fashionable teenager. (She is looking forward to the release of more colors). From the point of view of a "less-than-fashionable" middle age mom...I look forward to a price drop so that we can buy more in quantity.
