I bought this watch from backcountry in May. Loved the style of the watch, and the webbing band is really comfortable. It's ment to be a smaller version of the Block watch, and it fits nicely on a smaller wrist. However, In September I was swimming in a lake, and the watch stopped working. It looked like water had gotten into the case as there was condensation in the display. The 100m claim didn't live up to surface swimming, handwashing, and showering. I saw a similar issue in reviews, so maybe Nixon should beef up the case a bit. Backcountry rocks in these situations. Instead of dealing with warranty with Nixon, I just talked to the nice folks at backcountry and they took back the watch and gave me a refund. Watch = 2 stars (it was ok when it worked), Backcountry.com = 5 stars.

I think this is a great watch. It fits well on my smaller wrist. The other review said it does not have instructions, but it does they are just hidden in the bottom of the box and stand structure. It does have a lot more features than it says it has. A few alarms, Chrono, and timer. I don't think it sits too high of the wrist, so far it's a great watch, and is exactly what I was looking for.

I actually got two of these for youth boys. They loved them. VERY well made, easy to use and they are very attractive watches. Just like their big brothers.

Pros: Slick design, easy to use.
Cons: Scratches easily - semi-transparent scratches on face and white scratches on watch body.

I was stoked to receive this watch. I have smaller wrists and most newer watches look stupid huge on me.

I got tons of compliments on the looks and really enjoyed the comfort and interface of the watch.

Problem is, the backlight stopped working after ONE WEEK. With the black LCD, you basically then can't see the display. Not so great, Nixon.

I called them and apparently this is a new model and I assume they're still working the bugs out. I tried to exchange the watch for another model through Nixon and they refused, saying they could only repair the watch. This site doesn't carry the watch I was interested in exchanging for.

I'm gun shy now though, I returned the watch and won't be buying again. Bummer.

I have always loved nixon watches, but I wish when I ordered it, it said youth sized. I'm not exactly a youth anymore, but it still rocks!!!
