Nixon Regulus A1180 Watch Review

Nixon Regulus A1180 Digital Watch Review. Available in the UK, USA and Canada. When it comes to digital watches, especially supposedly tough digital watches, one can't help but compare it against the Casio G-Shock range. Genuine G-Shocks do offer excellent durability and can be found for sale at a reasonable price. The Nixon Regulus A1180 however, does fall into a slightly higher price range (in come countires) than many of the G-Shock models. But In my opinion the Nixon Regulus is priced accordingly.

As well as the super cool Military / Navy Seal style appearance that does a good job of drawing people to the A1180 to begin with, It also has some features that many people will find very useful, so I can see why there is some hype, and a competitive price tag around the Nixon Regulus.

The main features of this watch are the twin Chronographs, water resistance to 100 meters, two stopwatches, countdown timer, 3 alarms, a great illumination light, and a five year battery life. But the main feature for some, is the A1180's overall toughness and durability. It is a solid watch. And like previewed in the video, which basically shows a brand new watch after 1 year of use, it's longevity seems to be excellent.

A wide range of different colours are available. Some of those include: Gold, Grey, Olive, Black, all Black, Clear, Dark Slate, Black/Red, Sand Brown, Multi-Camouflage Tropic Green, Black/White/Lime and Carbon. There's also stainless steel versions out there for sale (Regulus SS A1268). Those models come in Silver, Gold, Black and Gunmetal.

The only negative experienced by the individual in the video review after one year was a slight distortion of the lower part of the LCD, apparently from the pressing of the front button(s) over time. Overall, a good watch for the price.
