New Arrival: Nixon Unit

I got this one off eBay with surprisingly little interest. I got it for $65, and was the only bidder. It was advertised as used, but it is almost perfect condition. I don't really require perfect condition, and I often am glad to get a watch with some slight scratches if it keeps the cost down. This watch has been going for much more on eBay, and is a relatively new Nixon watch.
This watch looked in photos a little too much like a G-Shock watch, which I'm not crazy about. But I like the Unit watch. It's big, it's bulky, it's a little industrial. But that's okay. The band is not the pre-curved kind, and it will lay flat with the band folded on itself. The face actually is split within the screen. The numbers for the seconds are stacked vertically. On the sides between the buttons is the Nixon wordmark and the Nixon logo, which is much better than the Housing, which reads Nixon in large letters.
I give this one a 8.5 out of 10.
