NIXONRegulus Watch

WOW ... Absolutely love this watch! I was looking at similar type Casio G Shocks (model 5600) but found them very expensive for what didn’t appear to be a watch as rugged as is made out. Looked at one with a black PU band - very nice looking watch but a little too small on my wrist and seriously pricey at circa £175. My concerns on this Nixon watch were that it would look garish or be too big; as the plastic versions look huge in the display cabinets. I’ve had Nixon watches in the past however, and one things for sure, for the money you get a seriously well built, quality watch! So, having umed and arghd for weeks, I finally took the plunge when it dropped just below £150.So glad I did - I think the quality and general look FAR exceeds that of the Casio. I have a circa 8.5” wrist, but it didn’t look stupidly massive; if anything it wears small. The Casio imo also looks a little plasticky, despite being steel; but the same definitely couldn’t be said of this watch. It wears super comfy; heavy but not too heavy; awesome build quality and has great presence on the wrist. Best of all, it doesn’t look cheap or ‘chavy’ ... it really looks like a solid, high quality mans watch. Having now seen it in person, I’d be quite happy paying £250 - £300 ... especially compared to the Casio versions.So - it’s a quality watch, great solid stainless steel bracelet, LARGE screen (twice the size of the Casio) which is very easy to read in daylight and the light is super powerful at night. There are clearly lots of features too ... I just haven’t got round to investigating them yet!If you’re considering buying it, let me assure you - as the owner of MANY expensive watches (Tag, Victorinox, Omega, Tissot) you won’t regret it. Likewise, If you’re contemplating the Casio ... don’t! ... get this instead, you’ll be over the moon!Update: I’m tempted to get a black rubber strap - I know it’ll look great; problem is, the stainless steel one supplied is SO nice, it’s hard to decide which to fit!

This is a chunky eye catching watch that feels and looks like the quality product it is. It’s my everyday watch now which I wear instead of other watches thats cost 3 to 4 times the amount.

Like it a lot

Very good watch and simple to use. Despite its size it’s comfortable to wear and the resin type strap is really comfortable with a built in lock for the single keeper. I knocked a star off because the negative display is not always easy to read, despite being described as high resolution. Really pleased with this Nixon.

I love this watch, its retro yet modern, it's a heavy watch, which is fine for me but may not suit everyone's tastes. If you're looking for a great digital watch that looks more expensive than it actually is, then this one's for you.

Really nice chunky watch easy to change times and use various buttons etc.

I'm very pleased with my watch so far.The only thing I don't like so far is that the buttons can be a little difficult to use. They need to be pressed "the right way" or nothing happens. The right angle and a firm push is important. I've gotten used to it but it's still something that could be improved.Minor details, overall very good and worth it!

Great watch but the strap is a little tight, could do with an extra link or two
