Nixon Mission

Hardcore build and waterproofing ; GPS is a cool extra ; Surprisingly comfy

Smartwatch-standard battery life ; Limited sport features ; Annoyingly slow to charge

Bright and bold styling makes a statement ; Surf and ski specialties are unique for Android Wear ; Rugged tweaks don’t come at expense of Android Wear features

Missing heart rate sensor is bad news for sports addicts ; Pricey for a few niche features ; Battery life ain’t great

Chunky and colourful, you’ll either love it or hate the looks – but Nixon’s first Android Wear watch is lacking a few must-have features to make it mainstream. For surfers and skiers only.
