The Nixon Men's Rover Watch is an update to one of Nixon's pioneering designs. Built on the premise that a watch doesn't have to be all metal to be stylish, nor does it have to be all rubber to be sporty, the Rover can go anywhere. Its Mega-Link construction and Nixon's uniquely comfortable polyurethane/steel band make it a veritable SUV. Nixon positioned the polyurethane on the outside of the link to allow the band to twist and compress in case you find yourself using your hands to break a fall, clip a draw on a lead climb, or ward off an angry mob of adoring fans. The center of the link is made of solid stainless steel, and with a double locking clasp, the Rover won't leave your wrist involuntarily. *Available for US shipment only.
Bottom Line: The Nixon Men's Rover Watch makes the perfect blend of sport and style.
I am a self professed watch freak. Meaning I currently own about 30 timepieces. Now this addition is a "good" sports watch. It's a heavy case and the bracelet is beefy but comfortable. The link adjustments are OK and it comes with two extras. I took one off but had to put it back on 'cause it was too tight then adjust the clasp for the proper fit.
In the dark, the back light is good, but you cannot see the numerals with it so you use the clock face dark spots.
This is a very serviceable watch, should last quite a while and looks like it will take a beating and still perform. I own better looking and higher quality watches but for the backcountry this will suffice just fine.
This watch is way overpriced. I spend two hundred dollars and the dial that with the hours printed on it comes lose. So when I try to read the time the number 12 is where the number 3 is. Also the pins in the wristband fell out. I could understand if it were one of the pins meant to be removed to make the watch smaller came out but the pins in the wrist band were suppose to be permanent. I mean how hard is it to keep the pins from falling out. Then to get it fixed I had to pay an arm and leg. I spent less then one hundred on my last watch and beat the hell out of it alot more then this watch. It had scatches all over it, the glass was scatched to hell but the wristband never fell off , all the dials or what ever you call them are still in the right place and it still ticks. The only thing you are paying for is the nixon name.
I've had my Rover for nearly 5 years and I still love it. I have gotten many compliments on it's appearance from both guys and gals. It's heavy but not too heavy, the band is comfortable, and the double clasp is secure. I've beat the hell out of this watch yet it still keeps precise time and wears it's battle scars with pride.
