Nixon Scout Watch - Men's
While other watches hang back in fear, the Nixon Scout Watch blazes trail with its I-don't-take-orders style and rock-solid construction. The chiseled stainless steel case and wide, punk rock strap give the Scout a look that both Rambo and Don Juan would wear in a heartbeat. Nixon made the band from nylon webbing, so you don't have to sport sweaty cow-hide from dawn 'til dusk. All this, and the Scout still adheres to Nixon's good old-fashioned values of trustworthy time-telling. *AVAILABLE FOR US SHIPMENT ONLY.
Bottom Line: The Scout doesn't follow anyone's rules—not even its own.

How does this watch compare with some of nixon's more expensive and higher quality watches?

I have this watch and absolutely love it. I don't think there's any noticeable quality difference, except maybe cloth vs. leather strap. It is just a basic watch, with fairly low metal content (for Nixon) which is why it's cheaper.

Possibly Best Watch Ever! This has replaced my G-Shock! This watch keeps time well...the battery has lasted 2 years so far. The strap is perfect. The breathable nylon band is nice and wide to support the very durable stainless box case without wiggling around when I mountain bike. The double buckle hasn't bucked. Pins never have pulled out. And it's sharp looking so I use this watch every day.

Pretty sweet watch. It's large but light weight, good for everyday. The band is pretty comfortable and very adjustable for just about any wrist width. Looks great too!

I have been through several watches over the years. If you're looking for a nice looking, simple, outdoor watch, then this is it. There aren't any extra dials on the front which, in my opinion, just clutter up the face. It is very durable, and very, very comfortable. I started wearing it a month ago, and have not taken it off. It is great!

This has got to be the best watch I have ever owned. The nylon webbing band is extremely comfortable. I put this watch on for the first time a week ago, and haven't wanted to take it off since. It is a very simple watch, lacking all of the extra gizmo's on the face that, in my opinion, just clutter up the look. The service from this site was also great with this. Had to chat with a gear specialist online to find the right product, and they directed me to just the right watch.

The band is large and almost too big, but I really like the way the watch looks. I get a lot of compliments on it, and it's very sturdy.

This watch is a go anywhere, do anything indestructable monster! I've got huge wrists and it fits just fine, I've got a hole set or two to spare even.

I absolutely love this watch, primarily because of its band width, the band material itself, and the watch's durability. Use it every day at work! Purchased the same watch (men's size) to wear on the outside of heavy sleeves.

INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!
I've worn this watch everywhere. Kayaking, working,snorkling and you can't break it.This is my second one as my first was stolen out of my Jeep. If you need a watch that can take a class 4 thrashing this is it!

I bought the Nixon Scout as an everyday beater watch and it has come through with flying colors. I love it so much that I recently bought a Nixon Scout Leather for a less casual look. It's simple, rugged, good looking and extremely accurate. Incidentally, if you're a fan of Battlestar Galactica you'll find that Lee Adama (played by Jamie Bamber) wears a Nixon Scout in black on the show.

I love my scout ( I have the gun-metal color) and I have to stay this watch is super strong yet it feels so light on the wrist. When I walking to class.. some moron slam the door open and it hit my scout really hard but nothing happened besides for the fact that it developed into a small scratch. I have to stay the watch looks so nice- even though it is so simple, the watch is beautifully made. I love my Nixon and I'm glad i spent 65 bucks for one hell of a watch.
During the summer the nylon gets ALITTLE sweaty..not as bad as other watches or watches with leather bands. It doesnt bother me at all either.. maybe b/c I live in California...
Anyways, Nixon makes quality goods and I would recommend anyone to get this watch.. Its so gorgeous and super durable and so so awesome!!

This is my first Nixon product and I couldn't be happier with my watch. I hate wearing watches or anything on my wrist because it feels uncomfortable (sweaty, nastiness that comes with wearing a watch, Band pulls arm hair, etc.). It is verry comfortable and I hardly know it's on my wrist. Plus it is so durable that I have banged it around pretty good and it still works (I play hard and my equipment suffers). It is a great, quality made watch and I am definitely thinking about buying another one in different color...yeah, like right now.

Good watch. The boyfriend loved it. The package it came in was rad, I didn't even need to get a box to wrap it in. I like it for the fact that he will be on time(usually) and he can use the watch while spear-fishing.

I like the fact that it's actually durable, awesome craftsmanship, nice fit, withstands my daily bumping, rubbing, etc. And the most important thing is that everyone i know or meet are attracted to my watch, to me that is awesome.

This watch is perfect for someone who wants something a little out of the ordinary, but affordable, comfortable, and simple. I bought this as a gift for someone who will probably give it a beating, knowing that with Nixon's reputation it should hold up.

This watch is reliable and sturdy. It looks good for everyday wear, and stood up to the jungles of eastern Uganda.

This watch is genius. I wear my watch upside down, so the face is always in the line of fire, but the screen has not a scratch on it - it’s recessed nicely. I've had this for nearly two years, and I am still in love it.
The band has two lock-ins instead of one, triple stitching on everything, really solid stuff. For laborers, soldiers, extreme sportsmen, this is the bomb!

OK, I can sum this watch up, in one word ( long pause ). Indestructible! There I said it. Now go out and try it. I dare yah. This watch has survived all that I can put out, from long-boarding trips in the Moab, to bar fights in the SLC, to just working around the house. This watch is the best I have found in a long time. The glass is set in enough, that if you do smash it down or on to something that you don't have to worry about it. In short...Indestructible. OO-RAH!

The Nixon Scout watch is a fine watch. Rugged enough to take much of the abuse my work causes. I've beaten it up pretty good but it still looks new. The display is large and clear and easy to see in the dark as well. The band could be slightly longer I have thick wrists and the band hardly reaches the loop.

This watch is great for every day use; it's simple and incredibly tough, not to mention pretty sweet looking. Mine has survived a collision with a car with no damage other than some scratches and embedded paint, which just adds character.

Tough and durable, a very nice looking watch. The leather band seems to fade a bit after heavy use, but all in all a great watch!

I like the design. Simple. Clean.
If you have extra large wrists, I don't know if it'll fit you. I have "normal" wrists, and there isn't much room to move up.

Baghdad, Iraq has busted through 6 watches so far... everything from Timex to Citizen... so far the Nixon is holding strong. Plus the khaki band matches my desert camo. Great watch.

Gave it as a gift to a friend attending nursing school who needed a watch with a large face, waterproof band and a sweep second hand. It was a bonus that it's so cool looking. She loves it and is the envy of her classmates.

The Nixon Scout is a great watch. It's super durable, looks great and is the best value. You can't go wrong when you only spend 65 dollars and get a watch this tough and good looking. Highly recommended.

A great watch, with simple yet stylish looks, and a virtually indestructable design, all tied together with its unique look to give you a watch like no other.
