This watch is just as amazing in person as it appears in pictures. The only bad thing I can say is it is much glossier in person than it appears on websites. That is to say, it is very shiny which was unexpected. Very comfortable on your wrist, can be dressed up or dressed down. Perfect for any occasion. This represents my third watch from Nixon and while all have been great, this is my favorite so far. If you have the chance, opt for the dark wood over the White and Black. I didn't care for the butterfly closure at first but have quickly grown to like it. For anyone serious about watches, this is a must have.

I received my first Nixon watch as a Xmas gift 3 years ago, and it was The Roadie. Initially, I had coveted The Rocker and I still think the Rocker's face is superior but the Roadie makes up for this with its band. For anyone with a decent sized wrist, the Roadie's band will look and feel much better than the band that comes with the Rocker. This is the most rugged watch I have ever owned. I've worn it almost every day for 3 years and the watch itself still looks brand new. Currently, I need a replacement band and knew this day would come as the band is made out of leather, but that’s half the fun of a leather strap. Zero complaints about this watch, though I wish Nixon would make a brown leather strap for the Roadie. Also, I think if you are buying the Roadie, go for the All Black Roadie as it is one of the coolest looking watches in the Nixon line up, that is, if all black is your thing.
