Can you read this watch in the dark?

It can be a little hard because there is no light on this watch but the hands are white making it easier to see

How do you charge the watch?

The light wave is charged with any kind of light, solar or artificial light.

How long does it take to recharge?

It should take very little time under some light to charge, minutes or even seconds.

Will the watch last if I wear this to swim in the pool every day?

Yes! just make sure to take good care of it and the crown should be pushed all the way in to make sure it's water resistant :)

Why is my watch not charging ?

Please put it in direct sunlight for as long as you can during the day and then under a light at night. If it still is not ticking after 24 hrs, please send it in for us to check it out. To send it in, click Need A Repair at the bottom of our homepage.

The day and date are not features on the LightWave.

Where is the watch made?

Thank you for reaching out! We currently don't have any customization available for this model, so sorry for the inconvenience!

Nixon Light-Wave FAQs

Is the Light-Wave waterproof, and what is its water resistance rating?
The Light-Wave is not fully waterproof but it has a water resistance rating of 100 meters / 10 ATM. This is good for water sports like surfing and swimming.
What eco-friendly materials are used in the Light-Wave, and how does it help reduce ocean plastic?
The Nixon Light-Wave watch uses eco-friendly materials like #tide recycled ocean plastic for its case and band, which helps reduce ocean plastic by removing it from the environment and reusing it in the watch's construction. Additionally, the watch features an Epson solar-powered quartz movement that reduces the need for disposable batteries, further contributing to its eco-friendly profile.
How does the solar-powered movement work in the Light-Wave, and will I ever need to replace the battery?
The Light-Wave’s solar-powered movement works by using a solar cell to convert light into electricity, which charges a rechargeable battery that powers the watch—reducing the need for disposable batteries. Since the battery is rechargeable, it lasts much longer than traditional batteries.
What are the size and design features of the Light-Wave, including case diameter and strap options?
The Nixon Light-Wave watch features a 36mm case diameter made from recycled ocean plastic, with a stainless steel caseback. It includes a 20mm custom recycled ocean plastic woven strap. The dial showcases a semi-transparent dial and a unique design that highlights the solar panel within the watch face.
Is the strap interchangeable, and how easy is it to change or adjust?
The 20mm watch strap of the Light-Wave is interchangeable. But it is a spring bar connection which means you will need special tools to make the change.
