Nixon The Mission: Design

We shoot straight here at Wareable, so understand us when we say that the Nixon is bloody massive. The 48mm case dwarves most G-Shock timepieces and it's every bit as large as the Casio WSD-F10. The rugged design is water-resistant to 10 ATM (roughly 100m) and adorned in 316L surgical grade stainless steel. That means you can take it surfing and it will withstand even the most spectacular wipe-out.

But clearly, it's also a big fashion statement. Unless you're in the position that you can afford a $400 smartwatch and only use it for the odd weekend surf, it's going to be part of your daily look – in this case Oakley sunglasses, board shorts, a beady necklace and a massive Nixon smartwatch.

We don't like to gender categorise either, but we can't see The Mission being a huge hit with the ladies, just due to the size. Feel free to let us know if we're wrong on that point.
In terms of colour, The Mission comes with a host of options – 44,000 according to Nixon, if you include all the colour, bezel and strap choices. That's a moot point currently, as we can only spy options for black, orange and grey available to pre-order, with a single strap choice. Hopefully, the other 43,997 variations will be out when the device goes live on 10 October.
The orange version is a massive design statement and we actually really like it. In our opinion the black is so bland it actually nullifies all positive aspects of the design. Our main review unit was black, and was the one we wore the most, and contributed to negative feelings about the overall look. The orange version you see in the pictures didn't have the final software on it, so we couldn't make a full judgement on that.

However, the 48mm build allows for some decent additions inside. The 1.39-inch AMOLED, 400 x 400 screen isn't blighted by a flat tyre, which allows the screen to be perfectly round. It's a superbly crisp display and while it doesn't blow you away with its vibrancy, there are certainly no complaints from us. In fact, it's the same resolution as the 1.4-inch Huawei Watch, so it's sitting at the top table in terms of Android Wear pixel density.
Nixon has also put a lot of engineering time into the microphone, which uses a neat clip and a Gore-Tex membrane to ensure top notch waterproofing. That means you can bark commands while you're on the slopes, take calls from the office while shredding the black run, or summon apps to monitor your progress. This isn't to be underestimated. Getting your phone out on a ski lift in sub-zero conditions is a good way to lose it/batter the battery with the temperature change – with The Mission, there's no need.
There's a button on the side of The Mission, which toggles the device in and out of its low power state and will return you to the main watch face from within an app.

The strap itself is a replaceable ultra-tough and rugged rubber number that you almost need to crank onto your arm to tighten. It's actually pretty comfortable, even if, like The Mission, it's huge.
Under the hood is a brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor , which is about as good as it gets in terms of smartwatch internals right now. We don't get too hung up on processor speeds here, but it's the power-saving that Qualcomm touts as one of its headline benefits. And the Nixon will need it. With GPS built in, the battery will be under serious pressure – more on that later.
All-in-all, it's a formidable package, especially for surfers and skiers – and one that many readers have been waiting for. vedere di piu rolex replica e Hublot
