Nixon Manual Watch - Men's

There are four little screws on the back of the face of the watch. Just undo those, take off the back of the face, take the old battery out and put the new one in. If this is something you don't want to do yourself you can always take it to a jeweler and they can do it for you as well.

Forum Grudge Snowboard
March 30, 2009
This would be a great board for the park. Stiffness wise it falls right in the middle, so a mid flex. You could downsize to the 156w no prob. I would however recommend a wide board no matter what size you choose because of your foot size. If you just bought a normal width board you may have the problem of toe and heel drag.
