Nixon Analog Watch FAQs

Analog watches, sometimes called “classic watches”, use an hour and a minute hand to tell time. Occasionally, a third hand is included to track seconds. These hands are in continuous motion around the watch face, pointing to numbers arranged around the dial that indicate the time. If it has hands and it ticks, it’s an analog watch.

To read an analog watch, locate the two main hands on the dial. The shorter hand points to the current hour. The longer hand points to the minute, which you read by multiplying the position by five. So if the minutes hand is pointing to the 3, you multiple that by five and get 15 minutes.

All Nixon analog watches have a certain level of water resistance that is referred to as a "water rating". The higher the water rating, the more resistant the watch is to water. For example, a watch with a 5 ATM water rating can safely be exposed to small amounts of water like when you're washing your hands. A 30 ATM watch can be exposed to much more water, like diving! For more info on how water ratings work, check out our blog on waterproof vs water resistant watches.

Setting the time of a Nixon analog watch is simple. On the side of all of our analog watches is a crown. Pull the crown out and twist to make the hands of the watch turn to the correct time. Watches that come with a complication like a date window have two positions that the crown can be pulled out to. The first position is to change the date and/or day, and the second position is for the time. For more info on setting the time on your Nixon analog watch, visit our watch instructions page.
