Billabong Necklace

Andy Laats, a frequent snowboarder and mechanical engineer, and Chad DiNenna, a surfer and business executive, came up with the concept of watches for extreme athletes and founded Nixon Watches in 1997. The two started the company and meshed their interest in sports to create a product that provides durability, style, and functionality for avid skaters, surfers, boarders, and people pursuing an active lifestyle. Many professional athletes now compose the team that helped make Nixon Watches a success and therefore, the product is well directed towards the needs of athletes. When creating and designing the watches, owner Laats and DiNenna spent a lot of time focusing on what athletes involved in extreme sports wanted. They came up with a line of watches that was durable, functional, comfortable, and stylish. After almost a decade of success, the company was sold to Billabong International, but the company's target market remains the same.

Nixon Watches have a line for men and women, and come in a variety of materials allowing purchasers to choose a style that matches their needs and their personality. Styles range from classic to funky and bright. Some Nixon Watches have unique faces with bold geometric patterns, interesting shapes, or unique bands. A wide array of materials such as leather, quartz, ceramic, metal, and rubber are used to create a unique selection of watches that can satisfy any taste. Some collections are classified by color or band style. Nixon Watches offer both digital and traditional clock face styles. Many quality Nixon Watches can be purchased in prices ranging from under £50.00 to £250.00. However, some styles exceed £1200.00. Thus, Nixon offer a quality product which can satisfy many budgets.

The current trend of some of the recent Nixon Watch collections is to have large faces and numbers, making the watches easy to read for the active athlete. In particular, the Tide collection is geared for surfers and offers easy to read faces with brightly coloured numbers, Nixon Watches are touted for being able to stand up to the rigors and abuse from tough sports. They are comfortable, dependable, and stylish. While they are designed in mind for the active athlete, their unique style makes them a welcome addition to anyone's wrist.

Given the many choices available when you are purchasing a Nixon Watch, it is best to identify what you want so that you can zone in on the Nixon watch that is best for you. Do you prefer a particular shaped face? Do you want a particular material? Do you have a budget? Will you be using the watch in water regularly? Will the watch be abused if you fall while skateboarding? All of these factors will assist you in finding the ideal Nixon Watch. If you have an active lifestyle and require comfort, durability, and a watch that is functional yet still shows off your personality, a Nixon could be the right timepiece for you.
