This is a nice watch:Pros: Special design. It looks very exclusive, but not so formal. Both a surfer dude, or an office clerk could wear this. It has two very cool symbols on both side of the glass. I have the silver one, and the white clock washer looks minimalistic and neutral. It`s is waterproof down to 10 atmospheres (100 m) and it has scratch proof saphire glass. The whatch chain is also very solid, whith a nice locking mechanism, which prevents you from loosing it, until doomsday:-)I`m tired of those huge chronograph whatches, with lots of pointers that you realley never use. Instead, I now have a minimalistic an very solid watch, that fits in sporting activities, as well as in the office. Not too expensive.Cons: Looks a little glossy, Diamond on clock washer. I don`t really know if I like that, but it`s so small, so it`s quite neutral. This is not a swiss made whatch. On the back, it says that mine is made in Japan, but some ones are being mounted in China.I gave it a full score, due to the very cool design, and that it`s a whatch, after all, that`s being very solid. Go for it!

Purchased this watch for my boyfriend. I bought the two tone black and it looks amazing. He loves it, I love it, we're all happy here. It looks good as a casual watch, but easily dresses up.

I bought the Nixon Player watch w/ black face for my husband who is 27. First of all I have been trying to get him to wear a nice watch for 2 years. He won't he has the Rocker watch and that is the only watch he will wear. Lately we have been to a couple of functions that required a suit and he wore no watch because the Rocker as awesome as it is was just not up to par. For christmas I found the Player watch and decided to take a chance to see if he would wear it. Turns out it was a great gift. He loves it because he didn't have to give up his style since it's a Nixon. I love it because it's totally hot and now he has a nice watch. He has even been wearing his Player watch on everyday occasions, but still a Rocker fan. Thanks Nixon for great watches!!

@ willrennie2150234: Send it back to Nixon in So. Cal...they'll replace it and send it back. I scratched the eff outta my "the banks" watch, I sent it in with $40 (US) for a replacement crystal...they ended up sending me a brand spanking new one (it was new since the band was back to the original size). I had to pay because it was my own fault, but your issue sounds like an issue with the mechanism. At least give 'em a bell during Cali. business hours, they're pretty helpful and friendly.
Cheers....

I have owned this watch for six years and it still looks great. I wear this watch every chance I get and have put it through all sorts of abuse and it keeps on ticking. In the six years I have had this watch I have only had to replace the battery once. Not too bad at all. Looks great and feels good on the wrist.

I bought my son a Nixon watch for his 30th birthday. It was shipped promptly. When I took it out of the box to look at it, I thought it was impressive. Scott, my son loved it and his father decided that he needed one too.

Pimpin' watch. Got quite a few comments from the ladies already. Be carefull with it, however, the glass is well exposed and can scratch easily. I've already got 2 significant scratches. Watch looks like it's worth a lot more than $150.

I have owned the Player watch since it was first released. I have had to have it warrantied 4 times for the time adjustor falling out, the face fogging (due to water entering while I was in the shower), and an arm falling off. The other problem is that the face is not flat and gets scratched very easily. Watch out, I wasted my money. Though it does look pimp, only when you have it and its not being warrantied!

Its the best teen watch that’s out, and it’s the best looking classy watch for a teen it is just what us teens needs to look good, you know what I mean right?

All the bling your going to need in the backcountry... tells the time too! :D

I bought this watch from you guys for my son this Christmas, he absolutely loves it. Thanks for making it easy, teenage kids can be very difficult to shop for. Lance and Cindy Shaeffer

This watch looks great but still has a clean, simple style. Fits in at the office, but is still tough enough to get out on the trail or in the water if you so desire. I have pretty skinny wrists and, despite the fairly big face, this watch looks right at home. My only gripe is that sometimes it is hard to read the time, due to the lack of numbers on the face. But if you are looking for a watch more for its style than its functionality, look no further.

This watch screams pimp dudes

It's a really really nice watch. I was tossing up whether to buy the black faced or the blue faced one. After a hard decision I purchased the blue one. To my surprise I got the best of both worlds! In direct light the blue really stands out, but in dim light it appears black. Anyway the quality of the watch is really good, highly recommended.

My lady friend bought one for me, this watch is killer. If you think a picture of it looks tight, just wait till you see it in person. I have had NO problems with it, and I get TONS of compliments.

I got this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend, and I am glad I did. Best present i have gotten him yet. He is a display artist so anything he owns has to be super durable, but I still wanted it to look stylish. It is a very classic design, and the ice is a nice touch. Brrrr.

I got the all silver watch. They titled this watch perfectly. A true player's watch. It's got a great look and weighs just right. Plus I got this watch in 5 days and that's sending it to a military address that's in Iraq!!!! Didn't expect it for like a week or longer. I strongly recommend this watch to any playa out there. Will be ordering more stuff from Backcountry.

Great Watch!! It is light when you wear it, but still has a heavy sturdy feel to it also. I have the all black one and i get a ton of compliments at parties and other events i go, so that is a plus. Only downsides are that the crystal scratches pretty easily from everyday sort of banging on stuff, and the carbide finish on the all black band does scratch and wear away after a while. but I have worn the watch everyday, night and day since i got it and i love it more than my seikos, swatches, and other watches. If you are even thinking about it, get it. and for the review(s) that say it is just for looks and not telling time, they don't know what they are talking about because as long as you know how to read a watch, this is no different

This is my 5th watch from Nixon, and they never cease to impress me. I ordered the Gunmetal Player, had it in 2 days, and I can't take my eyes off of it! Worth every penny!
