Nixon Mission Android wear

Nixon has become a popular watchmaker, and, following in Fossil’s footsteps, the company has officially announced a brand new Android Wear-based wearable.

Nixon is calling their new smartwatch the Mission, and it will be available later this year for an undisclosed price. As far as features go, Nixon opened up about the Gorilla Glass AMOLED round display, as well as the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor under the hood. The Mission features a roll cage bezel made from 316L stainless steel to protect that display, as well as a “super durable” 48mm polycarbonate case.

The band is a dual-layer silicone strap, and the Mission will come in three different colors when it launches later this year. It’ll boast at least two pre-loaded apps, the first of which, called Trace, will track your activity on a day-to-day basis. The other app will track snow and surf conditions around the globe.
