Nixon Mission – An Android smartwatch for extreme sports

Nixon Mission is an Android smartwatch for fans of extreme sports. Note that the Nixon brand was created 15 years ago and is very popular with celebrities and athletes.

The Nixon Mission, and I should even say The Mission smartwatch, is a first for society. It was unveiled for the first time this year at Baselworld in Switzerland. Most smartwatches and wearables sold on the market are water resistant but it is often advisable not to shower with them; let alone swim with it.

For the Nixon Mission watch, it is quite the opposite. The smartwatch was designed for extreme sports such as surfing, snowboarding, skiing, etc. The watch is therefore particularly solid and resistant. Powered by the latest version of Android Wear from Google, the device has a body made from polycarbonate plastic and 316L stainless steel. The watch is also equipped with a 1.39 inch round AMOLED touch screen protected by Gorilla Glass.

The watch also offers a double layer silicone strap available in many colors. In terms of functionality, we find all those that we are used to using on Android Wear such as notifications, customizable watch faces, quick access to applications, etc.

The Mission is also one of the first smartwatches with Qualcomm’s famous Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor. It is twice as fast while using almost 25 percent less energy than the previous Qualcomm processor. However, the main feature of the Nixon watch is its water resistance of 100 meters. No other watch on the market arrives at his ankle; not even Casio's WSD-F10 Outdoor Watch smartwatch.

If you're interested in this watch, be aware that you can buy it for around $ 400.
