Casio > Nixon

I remember when I was in the 8th grade I got my first Nixon. It was the Small full nelson in the grey black and red color way. I was all about it.


Then I went from there and got a Metal Limo (which was and still is my favorite nixon watch of all time) I've been threw three Metal Limos. One broke, nixon sent me a new one, then that one was lost. Way after nixon discontinued it. Then one day Andrew and I went down to southern California to visit our friends and skate. We went on a bit of a side adventure to la jolla. I recall I think my trucks were fuckin' up or somethin' and I didn't have a skate tool. We go into this tiny surf shop and BOOM! Metal Limo just chillin' in their not so stocked nixon case. So I was like damn I have to get that, those dumb mother fuckers at the shop I would have paid like $20 over what it should be, but they straight up gave me $25 off of the price cause they didn't have the box for it. I still have that one today, I wear it to special occasions.

I also have the black player and there are many watches of theirs that I am a fan of.

But

They are so incredibly huge now. So many Bros are all about them, people are all over them in every way possible.

So

I think I'm going to have to go back to Casio G-shock series. I had one in like 6th grade, it was pretty cool. They've got some awesome designs and color ways, super affordable too. Check this one below as a collaboration with Enjoi skateboards.






Then just these models that they have, you can buy them on casios g-shock site too.















I'll still support nixon if convenient. I'll still wear my t-shirts, and the occasional watch. Something tells me if I were to purchase a new watch it shall be a Casio G-shock. My friend JohnB has had his current G-shock since the middle of high school. Its been threw iraq, the ocean, and numerous crazy adventures.
