Chronograph watches with NATO style nylon straps are all but old news these days. It seems like everyone and their brother is rocking a beat-up, pseudo-vintage, sub $100 watch on a $25 J.

How drunk are you right now? That probably depends a lot on when you read this and whether or not you're currently at work. Assuming you're currently imbibing, what's your BAC level? One beer or one shot gets metabolized per hour. You've been drinking for (you can check your watch, but let's just say three for argument's ... continue reading

Smoking at 4:20 is a bit of a dilemma for the average smoker. Without getting all scientific on you (mainly because we can't) partaking in the old pot-smoke can cause a hint of memory loss. If it were possible to go back in time and change lingo, we'd suggest 4:20-ish as the acceptable term and reference. Since ... continue reading
If you're trying to communicate with your mothership to arrange transportation home (or give yourself a migraine), the only wristwatch that's likely to do the job is a number from Tokyoflash. Back here on planet Earth, we have slightly more mundane needs. Namely the fact that a, it needs to tell the time and b, it ... continue reading
In the early 1940s, the US and Germany started working (separately, obviously) on surface-to-air missiles in order to destroy aircraft and other missiles. Somehow, the good people at Nixon thought that was a fitting name for their newest watch and so The Sam was born. It's military inspired in terms of design cues ... continue reading
We love watches. A lot. It's an affliction that has - on more than one occasion - led to a bank account nearing negative numbers and a lack of dresser space, not to mention the look on the significant others face when they learn how much the latest "investment" cost. Even though we have countless options when it comes ... continue reading
In case you've never been inside a Chipotle, Urban Outfitters or one of it's similarly decorated faxsimiles, raw materials are all the rage. If you can get Tex Mex and stupid tchotkes while basking the glory that is raw materials, why can't you take it with you? After the huge success (we don't work for Nixon so we're ... continue reading
Nixon and Horween are two names that need no introduction round these parts. Two of the biggest names in their industries, the Pippen of watches and Jordan of leather (LeBron and Wade if you desire) have collaborated yet again and surprise, surprise, it's fantastic.

They're both acceptable in the eyes of the general public, but one is inherently cooler. In the case of watches, automatic is the way to go.

Touchscreens are the wave of the future. If this were the 80s, that would be true. Now, they're everywhere.

Nixon's new watch The Synapse is that watch. The ... continue reading

When you're talking about a camouflaged face from O Clock, you have no need to hide anything. Made of 100% silicon in three different colors (dove, olive and ice), the Citizen movement ... continue reading
Analog versus digital is an argument that started right around the same digital did - and it's one that will rage on until something else comes out. When it comes to watches though, the vinyl versus mp3 debate is a little flat because all that matters is what looks good. In the case of the Vestal Doppler watch - digital ... continue reading
What's the first thing you think of when you think of military precision?

Do-it-yourself used to mean spending hours getting inspired by the Discovery channel and then either starting a project you really didn’t have time for, or getting roped into one you completed just so you would stop hearing about how you don’t listen.
