Nixon Optimist User Reviews

Evangeline says, “Love this watch! It’s gorgeous in person and I love that it’s solar so I never need to replace a battery. I had to take a couple links out but now it fits perfectly and looks great. Mine ticked very slowly out of the box but once I got it into the sun it sped right up! Great watch for the price and very nice quality.” 

Dawn says, “A beautiful, classic, timeless piece.” 

Fiona says, “Love the watch, the size, the weight, watch bracelet and the ease to read the time.” 

Louise says, “Beautiful watch, easy to set up. Stylish design and good size bracelet and dial.” 

Radrielle says, “I bought the all gold color and it’s gorgeous. The strap is a muted gold sheen so it gives it a more understated elegance. Very classy for everyday wear and you don’t have to worry about changing batteries!” 

Neil says, “Superb watch, elegant, functional and comfortable to wear.”
