Watch company Nixon was founded in 1997 in Encinitas, California, by Andy Laats and Chad DiNenna. The duo worked in the action-sports arena and believed that the watch industry lacked a brand that spoke to their tastes and lifestyle. Today Nixon design teams travel the globe seeking adventures and gathering experiences that inspire the watches they create for the active-youth market.
This watch is amazing and is my favorite watch that I've own thus far. It looks just as good in the picture as it does up close. However, in person the numbers on the watch shines more and the face is much more reflective. The hands also glow in the dark which I thought was a cool feature. I love that the watch is water resistant as well. 300 meters is pretty deep. Strangers will approach you and compliment the watch constantly. This is a real man's watch!

Poor Workmanship Fantastic Looking
I bought this watch from Nordstrom's and the first one came loose at the screws and fell off my wrist within the first month of owning it. Nordstrom's replaced that one with a new one and this time it took 3 weeks for the same thing to happen. I'll continue to purchase from Nordstrom's, however I won't be buying a Nixon again.
BTW, the watch looks great and got a lot of compliments, but for close to $500 it's junk...

Are you man enough?
I've owned this watch for a couple year now. Don't buy if you can't handle people commenting on it, because it gets noticed! It's big, bold and crazy stylish. I own another Nixon 51-30 along with some Seiko, Tissot, Skagen, Invicta and Dakota watches. The big Nixon's by far get the most attention.

Awesome Watch!!!
I'm just now really getting into watches...in the past watches just wasn't my thing. I haven't worn a watch in about 13+ years. I've been eyeing this watch for a couple of years. I wasn't sure if it was going to be too mascline for me. I tried it on in the store and fell in love. This watch is huge but I love it...I wasn't sure If I could pull off such a big watch..but I feel like I pull it off. It's not for everyone but I think this watch is pretty awseome! The only negative thing I have to say is that this watch is really heavy..it takes some getting used to. I think I might buy my hubby the silver one.

It is everything he thought it would be!
This watch was purchased for my guy who is a big fan of Nixon watches. I purchased this watch without first viewing in person and was a little worried about the size of the face. When he finally opened the watch he was ecstatic about "this magnificent time piece". The size and design of this watch is excellent. This watch is versatile and fit for various occasions. We recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a nice watch to add to their collection.

Move over dudes
I love Nixon and I love that women can rock these large men's watches. I will say 51mm is a big and bold statement, but those who dare to stand out and have a statement piece, well ladies this is it!
Not that I don't love a stacked wrist but sometimes a bold statement and a gorgeous timepiece is all you need.
XO NIXON.

BADA$$
I freaking love this watch. Every where I go people comment on it (usually telling me 'wow that's a big watch'). Besides that it feels good when wearing it and it goes with most of my clothes. Can't seem to wear it to work because it won't fit under my long sleeve dress shirts but other than that it goes with everything.
I wouldn't recommend it to a friend however because I wouldn't want anyone I know wearing the same cool watch as me...go find your own!
But for all of the people that I don't know it's awesome!

Tasteful Bling for the beau
The Nixon 51-30 Chrono watch is bold, masculine, elegant, and darn sexy. The watch from this womans perspective, compliments my or any gentlemen's style from casual to dressy in a tasteful, bling-bling sorta way. Once you see the watch on, the accessory almost becomes the main focus of an outfit. It is a manly watch in every way, yet a female could wear while retaining her femininity, if so desired. It exudes confidence and strength on the wrist of a man and compliments the already confident man whom I bought this for.
The quality of the piece is felt when holding; it is heavy and bulky, but not overly so. The watch is durable in that it doesn't appear scratched from daily wearing and still looks like it did when brand new (has had for two months and will wear nearly everyday) . The dials are easy to operate after briefly reading the manual. It offers three dials on the face-each with different functionality-date, countdown, etc. operated by the super cool screw lock dials on the side. It is the best gift I've bought him, yet not the most expensive. Which says a lot about my overall opinion of the Nixon 51-30 Chronograph watch. (Oh and he loves it too, and it is now one of his favorite pieces of his 32 or so collection of watches).
