User questions & answers
Question: | Can you engrave it |
Answer: | I think you can. There is enough "space" on the Stainless Steel case (side & back) to engrave it. |
Question: | Are these watches 38mm or 46mm |
Answer: | 46mm |
Question: | Hi, Can someone tell me if the digits are actually visible in the dark without pressing the light button? Thanks |
Answer: | No it is not visible in the dark. The reason for that is during night ops even a small light display can be visible. To the bad guys. |
Question: | Does it have tide functions |
Answer: | No |

User questions & answers
Question: | What is the length of the band in inches? It just says 5 links |
Answer: | That watch's band is about 8 inches and it has an adjustable sliding clasp. |
Question: | How do you set the time on this watch |
Answer: | Pull the crown out and rotate till hands reached the desired time. |
Question: | In the example video where the watch is rotating it says "Noxin" after I buy it will it say Nixon? or will it stay like that |
Answer: | IT does say Nixon, the letters are very block, and evenly portportioned, so a lot of people will hold the watch upside down which makes "NIXON" look like "NOXIN" |
Question: | how do you adjust the band |
Answer: | Unlatch it and lay the watch flat, dial up. The part of the latch you want to work on is below the six o'clock mark. You will see that on that piece is a round bar that the hooks from the other part of the latch grab on to. In front of the bar is a metal piece with an arrow on it. There is a slot along the bottom of that piece, right in front of and just below the little bar. Using a strong thumbnail or a tiny screwdriver, lever up the metal piece, using the bar as a fulcrum. You can now move the whole piece up or down the band as you like. However, when you come close to where you want it, you have to move it up or down a bit until you can close it easily. The feet underneath have to fit between the links just right. Don't force it. You may not get the exat spot you want, but you can get close enough. Do it once and you'll be an expert. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does the watch come in the case |
Answer: | Nixon watches are packaged in a Nixon box (see picture for reference) not a watch case. |
Question: | Why does the back of the watch say 50 mm and the description say 40mm? Which is it |
Answer: | The 50m on the back of the watch is the water resistant rating. Mind you, we do not recommend getting the leather band wet. The 40mm is the case size in millimeters. |
Question: | Band deteriorated after 1 year of intermittent use. Can you redirect/advise me to another watch band that wont break down in 13 months |
Answer: | Yes. I bought a few of these and LOVE them. Colorful, durable and very light and comfortable. Not the leather looks you may desire...but a great solution in my opinion.
