Nixon Gifts For Sons & Daughters

The Nixon Ripper watch is a top pick for those who are looking for a gift for their daughter. The Ripper is a 36.5mm digital watch with a quick release silicone band. The digital LCD screen offers a few basic functions including time, day and date, alarm and stopwatch.

Someone in the Logistics department says that he's gifting this watch to his child because:

"She’s just learning to read both analog and digital time, so this will be perfect for her. She hasn’t quite memorized her parents’ phone numbers yet, so I’m hoping to create a customized caseback with that info."

The Ripper is currently available in 9 different colors for $129.99.

If you're shopping for a son this year, consider these two options: the Ripper described above, or the stainless steel analog Corporal in Chocolate / Dark Roast.

The Corporal is a 48mm watch that is water resistant to 100 meters. As an everyday watch, the rugged Corporal is a perfect fit.

The Corporal Stainless Steel is available for $299.99 in several different color options. But a Nixon employee on the Sales team says that she's going with the Chocolate / Dark Roast color above for its "rich and warm colors with classic styling".

Nixon Gifts for Siblings

One of the most gift-able watches in the entire Nixon collection is undoubtedly the Time Teller. The Time Teller is available in a wide diversity of materials, colors and sizes.

If you're looking for a gift for a sister, a member of the Marketing team recommends the Small Time Teller:

"The size is perfect for smaller wrists, wearing with jewelry, and you can get them wet without the plating rubbing off."

An employee in Customer Service also recommends the Time Teller. She says that watches in the Time Teller family make perfect gifts for anyone because:

  • The Time Teller looks great on men and women
  • It's available in medium or small if they have wrists on the smaller side
  • The Time Teller is available in a solar movement if they are all about sustainability (or too busy to be bothered with changing a battery every few years)

Two other Nixon employees weigh in on Time Tellers:

"Time Teller Chrono. This is a lot of watch for a great price. This watch hits above its weight class and can hold its own in a room with watch collectors."

"The Time Teller in Gold / Green Sunray is classic (like her), goes anywhere (almost like her), green is her birthstone and I have the matching one!!"

Nixon Gifts for Husbands & Fathers

If you're holiday shopping for a husband or a father, we have a couple excellent gift ideas this season.

Another employee in Customer Service is gifting a man in her life the Stinger 44 in Silver / Blue / Black because:

"The colors are timeless and he has a very large collection of dead watches tucked away in a drawer. Since, its solar he can wear it as long as he likes!"

An employee in the building is gifting his dad the Regulus Stainless Steel:

"He always wore a gold digital SS Casio calculator watch growing up and this is about as close as we get."

Nixon Gifts For Wives and Mothers

Shopping for a special woman in your life? We've got you covered.

By far, the most recommended Nixon watch for women is the new Frankie.

Nixon Frankie women's watch

"Frankie is the main holiday purchase for my family. It’s a gorgeous watch that my wife adores and I know it will be perfect for my mom, it’s just her style. The design really gives it a jewelry look so it’s great for more dressy occasions. Might even get one for my sister, if there is a watch to break her from her smart watch, this is the one!"

More Nixon Employee Gift Ideas

Here are three other gift ideas from the Nixon lineup and why Nixon employees are gifting them this holiday season!

 

 

Nixon Drifter 40 Watch

 

Drifter 40 - $399.99

"I love the size, the color, and the tons of LUME. The 'alarm' moving ring function is also really great to know when you might need to be somewhere 'in a few' in an analog watch."

Nixon 51-30 Chrono Watch

51-30 Chrono - $679.99

"He graduates high school this year and I’d like him to have a nicer analog watch because he has only ever had digital... I think a fancier watch would be nice as he goes off to college. The chrono makes this twofold as he is a runner so having a chrono to use as a timer if he needs it is going to be very important to him."
