Nixon Lodown Watch - Men's

I own that bright ass yellow one. It's not so bright anymore. The band and the face housing have worn differently too so it just kinda looks like sh!t now.

I dont really like the way Nixon charges you before they even know if they need to fix anything, so I basically just wear a watch until I have to throw it away, which is coming up soon for this little guy.

Havent taken it into the Ocean much, so it's held up pretty well in dry air. I mostly just check the tides because the La Jolla tide pools are awesome, but you have to go at low tide. I just check it on my shelf, and that's about the extent of my watch's life now since it's so ugly.

I cant say how the new features are holding up, or if they're worth that $124 price tag, but I think the womens version is BUNK! All the shit thats on the screen, how could you even see it if it's smaller?

It's pretty cool for checking tides... or you could use google!

2 of 5 stars for the old one with the messed up sealant and the discolored funky band.

I was so excited to get my lodown and when i finally got it, the yellow band was stained a dingy grayish yellow after a week! I emailed nixon and they told me that i could send it in, and they would replace the band, but there would be a fee.
As far as the functions of the watch, I had to figure it out myself because the package (at least with the one that I bought, didn't have any instructions.

I wore the watch for over a year, despite the dingyness, but then switched back to my baby-g.

If Nixon would have replaced my band for free, or if they would try to figure out some way so it wouldn't get filthy looking again, I wouldn't have any problem with the watch.
I was just disappointed that my new watch looked.. well, not new.

sick watch. anyway i couldn't tell you if the gadgets are useful cause i don't use them but somethin tells me they're great haha. but this watch look so sick esp. in the bright colors :)

I have the black Lodown and I love it, Nixon makes the best watches

As you can tell from a few reviews, we were having some issues with the Lodown.

When we launched this watch we wanted to use better quality materials than the current tide watches on the market. We went ahead and used a mineral crystal instead of an acrylic because the mineral is much more durable and scratch resistant. Down the road we found out that the bonding agent used to seal the face to the case was failing, this caused water to leak into the casing. We have since addressed this issue and all Lodowns now have an updated acrylic crystal guaranteed not to leak.

So get off your ass, put on your Lodown, and head out to one of the 200 pre-programmed beaches to catch some lefts....brah.

Just got my lodown today, and for my first watch it is a little complicated with all of the options and everything, but I'll eventually figure it out. I got the teal/black watch, and it is a little darker than the picture, definitely not as bright. Other than that, the watch is pretty sick, and looks good! The teal may not go with everything, but it does match with most of the clothing in my closet. I also have a pretty small wrist, and the Lodown really doesn't look huge, which was another thing that I was worried about when buying my first watch. I would definitely recommend this watch to a friend. By the way, I would not recommend taking this watch into the ocean, swimming, etc., its not waterproof (says it in the direction booklet).

It is a very good watch.

i was so excited to get this watch love the look and colors....had it for less than a month the light was already dimming to a point cant see at all at night....also 2nd tide reset to whatever first tide was after a week...paid $20 to ship it in..after over a month of having my watch they sent me a new one....i have now had it for only 2 weeks and the only water it touched was the shower and its already bugging out the light button does what the quick tide button does!!! and the 2nd tide on this one is reseting after a week or so too again...go with another brand ive never been so dissapointed...oh and customer service still hasnt got back with me about this one...its been about 3-4biz days and they say they will get back by the next biz day.....BUY ANOTHER BRAND NEVER BEEN SO DISSAPOINTED ....and i am def not a complainer...hope this saves you from the troubles i am going through

im reposting this places cause i have never ever bummed about a purchase everr!!!!!

cool watch and cool colors. cool tide charts too. buuut... it is not fully water proof. me, my dad, and my friend all have had this watch before and if u go in water numerous times it will let water in and it will break. and after a while the buttons on the sides get kinda jammed. cool lookin watch but not good workin

We just had it replaced...and it's been 2-3 weeks and one botten is stuck....so it's not working properly...
The last one went blank after 4 weeks of just daily use!! So not sure what to say!

I got this watch a year ago and love it. I don't surf i sail but the tide feature is very useful for anyone who sails competitively or who surfs. I would recommend it.

This watch is beautiful, attractive design, comfortable wear, and very useful tools. (If you is one local boy)

I have had 3 Lowdowns and they all have broken in one way or another. Bands have broken, watches have filled with water and they all have dis-colored. Nixon products are garbage, the company obviously doesnt have anyone working in quality control....

i like the tide feature. i dont have to go on my computer for the tide. i love all the different colors.

Never got a chance to form an opinion on the watch, because two days after I got it for Christmas, it stopped functioning properly.

I got the black one for my bf, the watch is really cool the only bad thing about this purchase is that we thought it would be sent to us not activated but for our surprise it was working already, who knows for how long... hopefully we won't have to change batteries too soon... :(

stiky at the rope [watch]

removed it from the box, looked good and decided to surf with it immediately. All systems go until I returned from the H2O. All the buttons malfunctioned so watch is worthless to me. Sending it back for a refund!

Looks dope, but not really sure about the quality. The 1st one crapped out the 1ST TIME I PADDLED OUT, within in 5 minutes. It filled with water and then made some crazy Space Invaders beeping noises ... pretty weak.
So I chalked it up to bad luck. So I returned it right away, and replaced it with another one. Took about 5 weeks to finally get it credited to my card. These guys seemed to take their sweet time, crediting my account, after I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, as I was told returns take 3-5 days, right, try 5 weeks.
The watch seems ok now, I've been in the water a lot lately and it's good, the tide function is cool, but it's faster when I pull the tide chart on my phone.
My sister called it "my scooby-doo" watch, which I thought was funny.
Step it up fellas.
