That's pretty interesting , they have put out some sh!t watches in the past but this looks good , lets hope they have sorted out the quality issues and it must be a battery eater so interested how they keep it charged.

I'd be interested if my (first and) last Nixon watch wasn't such a dud.

Near on 4 hundy, lasted 2 years, then sh@t itself.

$200 to replace the part? No thanks, farkin load of crap

possible the same way the Rip Curl watch is charged, which depending on use would mean every few session you would need to charged the battery that is used for the tracking etc, meanwhile the actual watch battery would keep on going. Having to use android would be a pain too

They will have done a good job if they have worked out a touch screen that can be used with wet fingers.

Interesting to see what features of the Trace softwear is included, wonder when its due to arrive, web site says later this year

Article reckons its due to arrive in Aus mid October with a price tag of approx $550

I love my Nixon time teller: a basic light watch with a safe band, readable without my glasses on. But they are definitely overpriced, by opening them I can see the exact same chinese "engine" as on 5 times cheaper (15€) generic waterproof watches.

I read that the nixon brand was the cash cow of Billabong, the only brand making money for the greedy shareholders controlling Billabong. Makes sense.

Yep in the same boat as some of the other posts owned two Nixon watches both supposed to be awesome surf watches bulletproof blah blah both died , one actually seized up with rust!!!! Seriously rust wtf it's supposed to be waterproof the other one has the Moulded band from hell personally nixion can go jump absolute worst watches around
