This fall Nixon will be releasing two new watch styles known as the "Axe" and "Synapse," the latter supposing to have a digital touch screen. This is definitely a first for Nixon and could prove to be pretty ground breaking. Few companies have experimented with touch screen watches and all have been fairly unfortunately looking with functionality that may or may not be meaningless. The best looking touch screen watch to date is actually a custom watch band designed to hold a multi-touch ipod nano. This can be found HERE (Lunatik). Nixon's version of a touch screen watch appears reminiscent of their re-run watch. Hopefully this one has a bigger face and worthwhile functionality that takes a backseat to the form of the watch. Let's face it, Nixon is a style company. If they can get this right, there is hope for a new generation of watches.
In addition to their new watches, Nixon will be introducing new color-ways including all-black/gold, and military/olive green. Hopefully new materials and additional colors will be included. Give me a white faced Chronicle!
