Where to buy Nixon Heat:
Amazon
We have seen so many analog watches in our research we had to throw at least one on our list for people preferring a digital watch but don’t want or need to pay up for a smartwatch. Thankfully, Nixon Heat provides just that–a quality digital watch with enough durability and features to avoid being a $25 watch you give to your nephew on his 13th birthday only for it to break in two months, but at a price way cheaper than most smartwatches present at the market.
With a stainless steel case, a mineral crystal screen, and (according to Amazon) design input by an actual surfer, the Nixon Heat presents itself as a durable and reliable digital watch. Its calendar, stopwatch, premade timers, EL backlight and chronograph represent meaningful but generally expected features in a digital watch.
The biggest downside is its middle-of-the-road water resistance rating of only 100M. In other words, it’ll do just fine in the shower and on or near the water’s surface, but this won’t be a digital watch you’ll want to take deep underwater for extended periods.
