NIXON | Smartwatch "THE MISSION" that can withstand harsh environments now available in Japan

NIXON, the California-based watchmaker, has launched "THE MISSION," the world's first smartwatch designed for action sports, in Japan on November 11 (Friday).

The keywords: Tough & Smart

Smartwatches from various brands are generally perceived as precision instruments due to the cutting-edge technology they employ.

Following its initial release in the United States, THE MISSION, now available in Japan, is a "tough & smart" product designed for wear during action sports like surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding, challenging the conventional image of smartwatches.

It features high-grade materials throughout, including a custom-molded polycarbonate case built for exceptional durability, an organic EL display protected by Corning® Gorilla® glass for superior scratch and impact resistance, and a 316L stainless steel bezel.

It boasts 100M/10 ATM water resistance.

Naturally, its smartwatch functions are equally impressive.

The watch comes pre-installed with proprietary apps tailored for surf and snow: "MISSION APP," "NIXON TRACE SURF APP," and "NIXON TRACE SNOW APP."

These allow surfers to view real-time information such as wave height, wind speed, and local weather, along with surf conditions up to 48 hours in advance and weather forecasts. Snowboarders can check local conditions and snow quality in major regions like North America and Europe.

Furthermore, by combining it with the separately sold Trace device and various other apps, the possibilities for its use are endless.

This is a noteworthy product that redefines the potential of smartwatches.

The special website also features original Japanese content and video, so why not take a look?
