i first reviewed this on 7/24/11. after over a year of daily use, it's finally coming apart.
about a month a go, the little strap that holds the slack band in place got a tiny tear in it. i buckle my watch to the tightest notch so i had a feeling this would be the first part to break. it is still functional even with this tear.
just yesterday, the watch face started separating from the silicone band, also on the side that gets pulled when tightened (the "top" of the square). in this state, i'm worried the watch will fall off my arm if the last bit of silicone tears. i really love the nixon newton and will buy a replacement. in the mean time, i've "glued" the watch face back to the silicone with a low viscosity resin... probably not recommended by the manufacturer but it's the only thing that i could think of that would hold it in place. the watch is not damaged and the silicone tears are from every day use so i don't believe it's covered by any warranty; which is why i decided to repair it myself.
i think i got my money worth from this watch and will definitely buy it again.

i usually wear a volcom size small but i really wanted the gray color so got the xs (only one available). i'm 5'5" 110 and this is a perfect fit! not too tight or too short. it's really just right and so comfortable. my new favorite thing, go get one!

very unique and interesting dress! i love the asymmetry and it's really comfortable. the under dress/slip is a little sheer so you may need a slip if you don't have leggings. it's also attached to the top layer at the shoulder by a string so you can't wear it separately without cutting it appart (but this is not a big deal, it won't ruin the sewing if you do this. the pictures don't show 2 things: the back is scoop neck, the right side is NOT solid on the top layer. there are rectangle cut outs... i will post a picture of this later. :) 5'5" 110 bought the small and it's perfect.

if you like body con, this dress is for you! very form fitting, it's a little too scandalous for me to wear casually so i will probably return or trade up for a medium. material is super soft and not too thin. i really like the hem detail, very unique!

i'm 5'5" 110 and got the medium hoping it would be a loose fit. i usually get a volcom size small, sometimes medium (i have wide shoulders). this hoodie is a slim fit; fits me just right. debating whether i should trade up for a large since it will shrink a teeny bit in the dryer and don't want the sleeves (or overall length) to be too short...

the color and style and length of this dress is perfect but i don't have enough boobs to keep this strapless dress up. T___T i'm 5'5" 110 (bra size B) and the small keeps falling down. the fabric is soft, there is also a side zipper and kick slit in the back that the description doesn't mention. i really love this, wish it fit! i think if i got an xs it would be too short. going to return, sadly.

here were are, over a year later, and these sunglasses are still going strong! i wear them every day , every where and throw them in every bag (no case or anything) and they really stand the test of time! the lens has a minor scratch but nothing noticeable when you are wearing it. no cracks or dings and still awesome. i would definitely buy electric brand again and highly recommend their level 2 polarization. :)

these shoes are so cushiony! it's not thin like other flats, where you can feel the ground when you're walking. i'm usually a 7 or 7.5. in reef brand slippers (flip flops) i'm usually an 8 so i went for the 7.5 and it's too big- my heel pops out when i walk. returning for a 7. i wish it came in more colors, i could use a solid black or a leopard print. ;)

this top is so soft and comfy! i have the mint color, looks cute with jeans when i'm on my bicycle but i also wore it with a gray pencil skirt, cardigan and heels to a research presentation. i recommend washing it in a net [mesh] bag if you put it in the machine- don't want the cute holes to get stretched out or tear!

the skirt part is lovely and material is super soft! but i bought the seafoam green and the top/bust is a bit sheer. what to do...

my sister bought this for me for christmas! a great, uncomplicated bag. one large inner pocket, the interesting slanted front pocket and one inner mesh pocket. no other accessory pocket, no key clip, no insulation, no sunglasses pocket... but sometimes you just want something simple to throw everything in. capacity wise, i think two large textbooks is pushing it. this is a better bag for towel, shirt and waterbottle as opposed to book, calculator, ipod, pencil case binder... if you catch my drift. ;) the design is really unique, love this bag!

simple dress with an interesting pattern. i got the small (32b/105lbs/5'4") and it fits perfect. it's a little sheer, i'd recommend a full slip inside but it's not necessary.

got the MEDIUM. 32b/105lbs/5'4" and i usually wear a volcom size s or xs. medium is a perfect fit! don't worry, it's not too big, it's very elasticy.

this jacket is the perfect rain jacket!!
i got the small in garnet. (5'4"/105lbs/32b) sleeves little long but not really a problem. an xs prob would have fit too but the shoulder space is really good on this so i'm keeping it. when it's on, you can still have a nice silhouette- instead of looking like a puff ball of nylon!
i like the roomy pockets with zips and flaps. the material is SUPER LIGHT and very waterproof. i got this specifically as a rain jacket. we don't get snow in hawaii so a lot of the nice waterproof jackets on here are too warm since it has built in insulation.
pit zips and split tail (you can button it up if you don't like!) are great for bike riding, as is the bright color (i really dislike being hit by cars). i also plan to use this for night fishing and the pockets will come in handy for that too.
i was slightly put off by the price but the material quality, features, and look make it worth every penny.

this is a super comfortable back pack! compared to every other back pack i've owned the back padding is so cushioning i swear it's like wearing a marshmallow!! the gray is a really classy color and matches anything i wear. love the skate straps and the little pockets for everything (eyeglass pocket, key clip, headphone exit, laptop pocket).
sadly, the construction is not as good as other backpacks i had. this is the first time (ever!) i have not bought a DaKine bag- usually they last me at least 5 years. i've had this less than three months and some of the sewing on the back is coming apart (the "quiliting" area on the padding. i will probably try to reinforce this because it is close to the shoulder strap. guess i carry too many text books, heh.) also one of the bungies around the outside water bottle/side pocket is broken so i can't cinch it any smaller. in effect, it's useless if you have a small water bottle. if only the construction was better, i would have given more stars.

i'm in full agreement with commenter, mes4766821, great loooong sleeves! body fits good, seems long enough but i've yet to test it in the wather. also agree that if i had bigger boobs i'd move up from a small to a medium. i'm a 32b, 105lbs, 5'5". i'm stickly enough to wear smalls and extra smalls but my shoulders are really wide- usually causes the neckline to pull or the sleeves are too short but this fits great!can't wait to go sunscreen-less in this top!

got the all white, looks really stylish and fits great even though it's a men's watch [and i'm a gal]. it has a light! and can display military time. love the big numbers and the strap can be secured down. doesn't seem to have an alarm function or stopwatch but can't have it all, right? this watch looks really good... i am tempted to get another color!

this watch has super cool functions. i like how it's easy to switch between the different modes (turn face ring, like a diving watch!) and the fun "magic 8 ball" function. band is comfy and can accommodate even skinny wrists. i was deciding between this watch and the nixon newton (listed as a men's watch) but will prob go with the newton instead because the face on this one is pretty big... takes up my whole wrist! there is nothing wrong with this watch, i'm just picking aesthetic over function.

i have a big pack for hauling stuff but wanted a slightly smaller pack for bike riding (messenger bags make me feel off balance). this is really light and awesome! there is no laptop slot (what are you other reviewers talking about?!) and less padding but that cuts weight too. the bungie on the outside is nice for holding a towel if i'm biking to the beach, too. more awesomeness: sunglasses pocket, two water bottle pockets, color combo, price!, light synthetic material (i can shoot the whole bag down in the shower or spray it with 70% isopropyl alcohol)
what it's missing: key clip!! all my other DaKine bags have a clip for your keys and i really miss that! i bought a [wallet] chain and attached it to the loop on the outside of the bag so when i open the organizer pocket the world doesn't come spilling out. :P

these are my new go-to sunglasses. i don't know how i lived without polarized sunglasses for so long- it's like seeing a whole other world! i have [and previously reviewed] the vz trudie glasses. these are just as yummy, if not better! i use these fishing (totally cuts water glare) and more often when bike riding. i like how they don't slip off my head (this would be disastrous when biking) and yes, they are big but that just means better field of vision! helmet already cuts off a little of your peripheral view, so i'm glad these glasses don't cut off even more. also, they look girly (not square and man-ish like other polarized that i've seen) so i wear them around town for non sporting activities. expensive, but worth the price! i get a lot of use out of these!

love this dress! got the black stripe and the blue stripe. easy to wear and you can dress it up or down. volcom makes the best striped pieces!

cute design but didn't fit me well. got the small but the straps are too long so the bust is gaping. it's already kind of short so getting a smaller size doesn't seem like a good idea. a friend took this off my hands and she looks great in it! for reference: 5'5" 105lbs 32B. i also agree with the previous review, shelf bra isn't much of a bra- needs a strapless.

per previous reviews, i got a size smaller (xs) and it's a perfect fit! it's not baggy but it's still long; tunic length. would look great with a pair of leggings but i just go for denim shorts. this is going to be one of my new wardrobe staples!

i have the white/teal and the black/black. i ride my bike to the beach & hop in the water. by the time i ride home the shorts are dry- amazing!

this is more of a jumper instead of a dress (which is what i was looking for). there is almost no bust on this because the straps are LOOOONG and the armholes are big. would work for a beach cover up but on the street you'd need a tanktop or a shirt on the inside. i suppose you could get away with a bandeau top on the inside if you don't mind looking a tad scandalous. ;) otherwise, the hood is nice and roomy and the length is perfect. not sure if i'm returning this, trying to mix up my wardrobe to see what else i can wear inside. hope i can make it work!

love my gold coast board! really love the shape and size of this board, great for sidewalk cruising! my set up is different from what is listed here- i put on gull wing trucks and 78mm nine balls- and it practically rolls forever!! i get lots of compliments on the color and design. i am so glad dogfunk (my favorite place to shop) carries this board (my favorite cruiser) so i can recommend it to all my friends. i have the turquoise already, i want the bamboo one too!

couldn't find my warranty for the watch in my previous review so i bought another one. i love this watch so much!! i use it everyday- great big numbers for work and i get lots of compliments on the colors. the screen background is a little darker than in the previous watch i had but that may be just the battery. haven't taken this IN the water (for fear of another broken watch) but i take it EVERYWHERE else! i have a ridiculous watch tan now but that just shows how much i love it, haha. if this watch breaks i'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Polarized sunglasses are essential for shore fishing but i have a hard time finding cute ones! I've only seen ugly Man frames or uber-expensive designer pairs. Alas, a happy medium! This is a girly pair that looks great on the street with a dress or on the beach with shorts and knee high tabis. I really like that the bottom of the lens frame doesn't press against your cheeks (the woes of having no nose bridge! face indentations, yuck!). It doesn't completely wrap around my head, though- if I am wearing it on my head, as opposed to on my face, it slides down or falls off. This is not a huge problem, and when it's worn on your face it doesn't slide off. Highly recommended!

i actually found this website looking for this dress!! i saw the dress originally on the volcom site but could not find the black/white combo in my size anywhere else! (dogfunk, you rock.) i'm 5'5 105lbs and the small fits perfectly; good length and regular fit (not skin tight but not baggy either). i usually wear a full slip underneath (it's on the sheer side but you probably wouldn't look scandalous if you wore it by itself) and if i'm going to a show or to the park i wear leggings too. i always get lots of compliments with this dress... i love it so much a bought a second one PLUS the blue and white striped one (and the tank top version that's also sold here). i hope three is enough to last me a life time. ;)

i thought i found the watch of my dreams! my watch criteria was: 1) large display 2) timer/stopwatch 3) alarm 4) 24 hour ("military time") display 5) cute colors- specifically white! and pink!! 6) waterproof. this watch fit all of the above criteria and got about 3 months of daily use of this watch. and then i took it to the beach. it says 100 meter waterproof on the face! i was in 8 feet of ocean and when i got out the display is all wonky. the numbers aren't showing up properly and the days of the week is not showing up at all. i think it functions ok because i can hear the timer starting and stopping when i press the buttons. but the main idea of a watch is a visual display. this has thrown a huge wrench in my work routine and i am heartbroken that such a fantastic watch didn't live up to it's description. i love this watch so much that i migh just buy a replacement and use it for work only. but i really expected this to be a surf/dive watch and am pretty disappointed. i'll need to find a new beach watch now, too. i highly recommend this if you plan to stay out of the water. if you are looking for something to dive, fish, surf, or swim in- turn back now and save yourself from heartbreak.
