Nixon Watches – Made for the Most Extreme of Sports

The story of Nixon watches is one that was born out of a desire to create a product which was demanded in the sports industry.

Nixon Watches – the story behind the creation-:

Nixon watches were founded in 1997 by Andy Laats, a keen snowboarder and mechanical engineer and also Chad DiNenna who was a surfer that worked in the general business field. With a shared passion for extreme sports, Andy and Chad combined their knowledge and skills in order to design a product that was stylish, comfortable to wear, functional and most importantly durable for skaters and surfers and also those who enjoyed a range of general sporting activities. The designs were specifically based upon the needs and wants of people in the sports industry and those that pursued them as a hobby. Taking these findings, the designers created their watches accordingly and the Nixon brand was born.

Nixon Watches – loved by athletes and celebrities-:

Many professional athletes love the practicality of Nixon watches and there are a range of athletes in the extreme sports field who are part of the Nixon team and thus regularly seen sporting the watches whilst competing. Bob Burnquist, a skateboarder, skydiver and adrenaline junkie is one of these sports personalities who favour Nixon as is Surf Word Champion Andy Irons. People who take part in the sports in which Nixon watches were designed for appreciate the timepieces because they were ultimately created for them and as a result of their original needs and what the industry demanded. Of course, where a product looks cool and stylish, there will always be a celebrity spotted wearing it which is why singer/songwriter Santigold is also part of the Nixon team.

Nixon Watches – watches with the wow appeal-:

Nixon Watches have that effortlessly cool style vibe and have collections for men and women though women could easily also wear the male styles to achieve the boyfriend look which is very on trend right now. The watches are made using a variety of materials including leather, quartz, ceramic, metal, and rubber according to the consumers needs and what they will primarily use the watch for. In terms of actual style and aesthetic, Nixon watches range from casual through to dressy with a variety of models also very funky and eclectic. Some Nixon watches also have unique faces incorporating bold geometric patterns and funky bands. For those who prefer traditional clock faces, Nixon have watches which incorporate this as well as some models using a digital time display instead - Nixon likes to offer both options meaning that there is definitely something to suit all manner of tastes.

It is great to find a brand which makes itself accessible to many consumers and offering a huge quantity of style and price options.

Overall, Nixon Watches are ultimately designed to endure even the most extreme sports and physical activity. The designs are super stylish, on trend, comfortable on the wrist and most importantly, reliable and durable.
