New Arrival: Nixon Connect

Got this one used on eBay. I've been on a Nixon run lately. This watch is a bit too small for me, but I like it. It's more than a little like the Freestyle Funbox, especially the side profile. The band is not the regular kind, but a clasp system that you have to slide over your hand. It's a bit awkward and it doesn't fit into my collection by spooning all the watches. The negative face (white number on black face) made it hard to read while running, especially with the small seconds on the top. But the design is great, and the case sturdy. It's an older Nixon and the word Nixon is in lower case cursive, so it doesn't look like "NOXIN" upside down, a problem with more recent Nixon watches. This is a pretty good watch, an 8 overall out of 10.
