Nixon Diplomat Watch Review
Nixon isn’t a brand that I’ve had too much exposure to in the past. However, once I saw that they had a model featuring a Horween leather strap, I knew this was definitely a model that I needed to check out. Of course it didn’t hurt that the piece also featured a GMT function, which is one of my favorite complications. I have to say though that the first thing that grabbed me about this watch wasn’t so much the specs, or the strap material – it was the name.At least here in the states, the Nixon name (when it comes to politics, not watches) is about as opposite from a diplomat as you could think (if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, check out this article). Here, I think Nixon (the brand) may be playing on that tension somewhat to make the piece interesting. And I guess it worked, because here we are reviewing the watch.
iPhone App Smart Enough To Read Watch Names

Until now we’ve all had to read the name of a brand on a watch dial to know what it is – but no longer. Finally technology has come to the rescue. Using the camera on your iPhone, the Chinese made Watch Radar app takes a picture of the said watch and uses its whiz-bang technology to scan the internet and read the name for you. Wow!

Those pesky luxury watch makers usually print their brand names in complicated English, even if the brands themselves aren’t based in English speaking countries. No fair! Watch Radar is there to look at your Rolex and tell you that for sure, the name on the dial is Rolex. It can even tell you the model of many watches – now
