The Key by Nixon is a simple watch with two special features - a patented locking wrist band and a key to unscrew and lock down the crown. The band "lock" is very simple and how nobody thought of it before is amazing. There's a stud on the loose end that fits into the looper. The key that the watch is named after is used to unscrew and screw down the crown. It's nothing more than a small allen key. This key also works as an FCS fin key. Thanks to the no nonsense brushed steel case and high quality rubber strap this watch is both tough and comfortable. And with a water resistance of 200m can be used anywhere anytime.

If you plan on doing any surfing up to an including the year 2016, the Lodown by Nixon will give you the tide charts for over 200 beaches. It is the quintessential wave-catching watch with a wave counter, countdown timer (for catching the next wave), and of course, the tide information. The case is...

Pros
- Durable
- Key IS NOT for watchband. Tough, comfortable and I think good looking watch can be used anywhere
Cons
- You DO NOT need a key to take the watch off. See the description above
- Nixon have no service centres in the UK. So if you want your watch to stay water resistant after the battery is changed you have to post it abroad. I think there's a service centre in France
