Nixon A025-000 The Motif Mens Watch Review

This mens watch looks more like a modern piece of art work to be worn around the wrist rather than your standard time piece. This watch is sleek and black, with the entire watch band and watch face made in the same width and rectangular shape. The continuity of the band and the face is almost seamless except for the thin brushed metallic stainless steel frame around the face of the watch and the stainless steel buckle which secures the watch band.

The watch band is made of a very smooth black leather, which fastens with a buckle made of the same stainless steel which frames the face of the watch. The band attaches to a face and dial which are both black, and displays analog time with quartz movement. The watch face is embellished with a faint art deco sunburst embossment, and the watch dial sits off center, in the lower corner of the watch face.

This design creates an offset but at the same time, a perfectly balanced look. The watch dial is small and square, with a black background, black hour and minute hands, and a metallic second hand. Every minute of the hour is marked on the dial with an extremely thin white line which extends to the edge of the dial. Though the minute lines are very small, the contrast of the white lines against the black face really pop and stand out. The sunburst pattern which is embossed on the face of the watch is echoed in the sunburst pattern of the minute markers on the dial. The watch face is not to be worn under water but is water resistant. The watch can be worn casually, but has such a sleek look that it may look more appropriate when worn with dressier attire.
