My son was due to join university soon and I wanted to give him a good quality watch that could also serve as a trendy accessory for the hectic lifestyle of a University student. A lot of brands out there create fashion watches; I came across Michael Kors, Fossil, Diesel and many more. I was looking for an all-American watch brand and came across Nixon. Nixon is a popular American brand that makes wrist watches to fit personal styles and tastes of the youth. The brand’s aim was to create comfortable watches that kept up with the current fashion trends and typically meant for the youngsters.
Nixonbrand started off with just 7 models in 1998 when the brand was founded. Today, the success story of the Nixon brand has created a brand value of $500 million. With more than 90 different models on sale Nixon caters to every budget and taste and is well known the world over as an affordable fashion watch brand.
Effortless chic is what the Nixon brand is all about, a lifestyle preferred by the youth. Free-flowing designs from Nixon bring a unique style to everyday wear, leading me to conclude that a Nixon timepiece would be the best choice for my son.
From the online collection at Downunderwatches.com, theNixon Sentry A405-1258-00 Chronograph Quartz Men’s Watchlooked promising. Apparently, the Nixon Sentry Chronograph series of timepieces come in a variety of colours like brass, gold, gunmetal black and several other shades. The bright blue dialled Nixon Sentry Chronograph looked like a vibrant choice of colour for a young guy and that’s what I got from the website of Downunderwatches.com.
The round, stainless steel case enhances the bright blue dial with stainless-steel markers. The watch features three sub dials including a secondary 24-hour sub dial. The silvery stainless-steel sub dials stand out to give a unique definition to this timepiece. Skeleton hour and minute hands are complemented by a needle point seconds hand in red.
A date window is placed at the 4 o’clock marker and the watch is water resistant to a depth of 100 meters. A black leather strap and buckle clasp with a couple of colourful stitches near the lugs gives the watch a sturdy look. The Nixon Sentry Chronograph boasts of a Japanese quartz movement well known for accuracy. A solid stainless-steel case back with screw down crown completes the picture.
I chose the Nixon Sentry Chronograph which is a mid-range watch. Nixon also offers some good timepieces in its Time Teller Collection which is at the lower end of the price range. My focus was on getting a watch that looked good, kept accurate time and was easy to read. The Nixon Sentry Chronograph fulfilled all these criteria, but the best part was that my son loved the timepiece.
I would highly recommend Downunder watches. The first watch I bought from them wasn’t Waterproof but this was my mistake. It was an easy return and I got my money back and purchased a new one from them.. it’s a fantastic Seiko watch. They are a great company to deal with and the price was more than $200 cheaper than a shop.

Japanese Quality and Precision at an outstanding price
I have always loved the mechanical beauty of an Automatic movement, but I cannot afford an Omega or Rolex, so I have had to look at budget-friendly alternatives. Seiko automatic watches are solid, well-constructed and in my view, keep time just as well as those 20 - 50K Swiss movements. Therefore, I was excited to see the Seiko 5 Sports selling for just under $300.00 - normally close to $500. I love the minimalist functional design with the high-visibility face. Downunder Watches were efficient and expedient in posting the watch to me, and the complete sales experience was outstanding. Upon receiving the Seiko 5 Sports, I was most pleased with its solid weight and construction, which will last me many years and is a nice daily wear alongside my other Seiko Presage. Thanks Seiko and thanks Down Under Watches.

Great watch
Really happy with service from DownUnderWatches - prompt response to my emails and correct information - will definitely recommend them.
The watch is great - love love love the colour! Its is quite vibrant (not washed out like in the pictures here). Easy to program with the instructions. My only issue is that i need my reading glasses on to read the small stuff! That was something i did not consider before purchasing. My daughter has the matching watch in black and it looks fab also.
