Built to Rip
The Nixon Ripper Watch delivers everything you need and nothing you don't. Designed with smaller wrists in mind, it leads with ultra-lightweight construction and a minimalist digital aesthetic that keeps pace whether you're on the water or off it. The name is not a bluff.
Construction and Materials
The case is made from recycled ocean plastic, keeping weight to an absolute minimum while making a material choice that matters. A stainless steel caseback adds structural integrity at the contact point, and the molded silicone band locks in place with a quick-release locking mechanism for all-day comfort without sacrifice. Every material choice reinforces the same goal: a watch that disappears on your wrist until you need it.
Display and Navigation
The highly legible LCD display gives you time, date, day, and seconds at a glance. When the light drops, a bright backlight keeps everything readable. Four pushers on the case handle all navigation: Mode/Set on the left, Light, Start/Stop, and Reset on the right. No menus to get lost in, no learning curve.

Water Rating
Rated to 100 meters (10 ATM), the Ripper is built to handle everything from surf sessions to pool use without hesitation. This is not splash-resistant marketing language. 100M is a genuine active-water standard.
Why Nixon
Nixon has built its reputation by sweating the details that other brands treat as afterthoughts. The Ripper reflects that approach: thoughtful fit for smaller wrists, a sustainable case material, a band system that actually works, and functions that serve real-world use. Island Water Sports carries Nixon in store and online because that standard holds up in South Florida conditions.
