Of the seemingly infinite functions to add to a timepiece, few are as practical as the offerings of the Nixon Ripley. At a glance, the watch shows you the digital time, temperature and altitude; information that will be legitimately useful for a variety of outdoor activities and adventures. Other features include a chronograph, an alarm, second timezone, and of course, the day and date. But for the days where the only adventure is commuting into the office, the Ripley lets you activate “City Mode” — hiding the digital functions and leaving you with just a handsome analog face. This versatility allows you to have everything you could hope for in a watch, yet keep a simple low-profile look in your day-to-day.
