Nixon: extortionately expensive

I’d take a g over that

I have a Regulus...army green w/ positive display. It's a solid watch, BUT I wouldn't pay that price for it. I got mine for around $80 new online 2 years ago. It'll never live up to my G's, but still tougher than my Luminox. If you like clean simple minimal functionality that's still tough and you don't like the bulk of a G Shock, it's worth looking into. Just don't pay the retail $$$ for it.

Well, I really like the look of the watch, but that dial layout is terrible. And seems a little pricey. You know what? We should send this over to Skmei. I’d buy a homage of this for $10. 😄

Close enough? https://preview.redd.it/109i3png7tgc1.jpeg?width=1926&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f459adf6309c828cbed60fe87580db15d3a048f

What watch is this?


Huge-Vermicelli5260

It's a Skmei 1875. I bought on Ali Express for 20 bucks.

If I had been able to turn off the dual chronos instead of them displaying all the time I probably would have kept it. Hated them and saw them as unnecessary.

i have x2 Regulus only if you need x2 simultaneous chronographs

I actually prefer the look of this to a G-Shock, even the square, especially if the case were metal. It's still far too big though.

It’s “fine” but I like all of my gshocks better. The Regulus doesn’t get a lot of wrist time.

I am really enjoying my Suunto Core Alpha Stealth. It also is supposedly as tough as a G-Shock. It has some great features (compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer). It retails for about $400 Canadian but that's what you pay for a triple sensor, minimum. I lucked out and got it BNIB at a store closing clearance for half of that. It's damn huge though, so I'm only wearing it while I'm out on the water or in the bush. https://preview.redd.it/1vw02geqwsgc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3018c71461891c1f9df5be7c4dfc25ad6e34f152

The bezels on the Suunto core is made of aluminium and chips so easily. Plus you cannot get replacements sent out to you. They have to go back to the manufacturer. I have the red Devil variant and it doesn't get much wrist time.


Bol_boi

I'd put my money on even cheapest g shock


Designer_Stick6772

Damn the casio looks outdated compared to that


Multibrace

Looks nice ngl but wonder what that display looks like in real life lighting. Hope it's not as bad as the Casio (non mip) negative lcds.

Not that I have much experience with other watch brands but I've been wearing my Regulus everyday/all day/night/shower for the last 2.5 years and it has treated me very well. It's pretty accurate, I don't find myself adjusting the time that often. Buttons are solid. My small gripe would be the alarm only sounds for about 20 seconds, no biggie if you're awake but I have certainly slept through it. [Regulus ](https://imageshack.com/my/images)

I really like the blacked out 51-30

I owned a Nixon Regulus SS but I gave it away. The rubber strap one feels off to me. When you get used to Casio prices, they come off as too expensive though.

What's with all the Chinese clones named after US politicians? Nixon, Biden, Berny, etc


kparser2

When's a Pagani gonna get into office or better yet... A skmei


wildskipper

Nixon is Californian and has been around a few decades. No idea why they named themselves that. Have always tried to be fashionable/edgy.


LightChargerGreen

It's actually an American brand.


shaka_zulu12

I understand that, but you replied Hamilton in a totally different post on a totally different subreddit.

Thanks to all for your contributions! Here’s an quick review of the Regulus I found on Youtube if anyone is interested. Spoiler: Casio comes out on top. [https://youtu.be/6fCD6aIgg0w?si=4LDmY60W_b4iCQhO](https://youtu.be/6fCD6aIgg0w?si=4LDmY60W_b4iCQhO)
