Nixon has a long history as a great watchmaker. So, too, with the Regulus Expedition Sport Watch. The ultra-durable design is perfect for active gentlemen who like exploring far off-grid. It’s purpose-made for hikers, campers, hunters, and the like with all the essentials they need, including a built-in compass, barometer, and altimeter, and nothing they don’t. An integrated Camp Mode also provides weather alerts. The bright, crisp MCLD display shows all the relevant data in a clean, easy-to-read way that feels equal parts modern and retro. It recalls some of the coolest classic Casio watches of the 90s, and that’s a good thing. It’s all built into a thick metal housing with a comfortable, injection-molded silicone strap that’s good down to 100 meters.
This is a no-frills watch. It’s simple, yet sophisticated for the outdoorsmen who wants a pared-down sport watch with only the most essential metrics. Our only gripe is the price. Compared to similarly outfitted sport watches, it feels a little pricey at around $200. Still, considering the Nixon brand, the handsome, understated design, and the bulletproof build quality, we think it’s a worthy timepiece for the avid outdoorsman.
What do buyers say? “Really nice display and well built,” said one Amazon reviewer.
