# Nixon Time Teller Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Nixon Time Teller is a minimalist casual field watch with a clean dial featuring oversized Arabic numerals at the primary markers, housed in a rugged stainless steel case with 100m water resistance, powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement offering endless runtime, targeting active everyday wearers who appreciate legible, no-fuss design and versatile nylon strap options for beach-to-street transitions.

## Overall Watch Rating: 3.9/10.0

**Versatility Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Exceptionally adaptable for daily wear across casual, sports, and adventure scenarios, much like a classic Seiko 5 field watch.

**Dials & Design Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Bold, legible numerals and balanced proportions deliver strong visual appeal for the segment, on par with Hamilton's entry-level Khaki Field.

**Material Metric (6.2/10.0)** - Solid 316L stainless steel case paired with hardened mineral crystal provides decent durability, comparable to Citizen Eco-Drive basics.

**Movement Metric (4.4/10.0)** - Dependable Japanese quartz ensures high accuracy and low maintenance, akin to standard Miyota-powered budget divers.

**Brand Metric (3.2/10.0)** - Nixon offers accessible lifestyle watches with a surf-inspired edge, similar to reliable Timex or Casio entry models.

**History & Innovation Metric (2.5/10.0)** - Modest heritage since the late 1990s with focus on casual designs yields average standing versus established names like Citizen.

**Functions Metric (1.8/10.0)** - Basic timekeeping handles essentials adequately but lacks extras, on level with plain analog quartz like Casio MQ-24.

**Rarity Metric (1.2/10.0)** - Common production and accessible pricing make it widely available, much like mass-market Timex Weekenders.

**Complications Metric (0.2/10.0)** - Pure time-only setup offers no advanced features, typical of ultra-basic quartz like entry Fossil pieces.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0

## WM Collector Grade: C

## Performance Insights: Strengths in versatility, dials & design, and materials provide good everyday utility, while weaknesses in complications, functions, and innovation keep it from premium value, aligning fairly with its $125 price.

## TPS Interpretation: Fair Value: The watch provides reliable basic functionality with a clean, versatile aesthetic perfectly tuned to its budget price point.
