Posted on by
Star Wars BB-8 The Unit Nixon Watch

If you’re a Star Wars fan, there’s no better way of telling time than wearing a Star Wars watch, and assuming you’re looking for one, we’ve got the perfect list of recommendations for you.

You can set out on your own to trek the galaxy and try to find a Star Wars watch you like; the options are endless. However, with a LEGO Star Wars watch line, a Disney Star Wars watch line and Nixon featuring a number of series for men and women, simply staying here and going through our featured picks could save you a lot of time, and hopefully help you find the perfect Star Wars watch for you:

LEGO Kids Star Wars Vader vs Obi Wan Watch

I think the coolest thing about this LEGO Star Wars Vader vs Obi Wan watch is the LEGO figures that comes along with it: Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi wielding lightsabers.

Star Wars Imperial Darth Vader Watch for Men by Nixon

So why is this beautiful black watch by Nixon not just a Star Wars watch but a Darth Vader one as well? Well, the brass dial is embossed with the imperial logo, and the box has Vader’s helmet on it.

Star Wars R2-D2 Design Watch by Nixon for Men

There are some really awesome widgets on this Star Wars R2-D2 watch, including a red button to mimic R2-D2’s holographic projector.

Star Wars Darth Vader-Inspired Watch for Men by Nixon

The Nixon Men’s Star Wars Vader watch has a dial that’s inspired by Darth Vader’s ventilation mask, and the crown designed to reflect Vader’s meditation chamber. They did an awesome job with this watch.

LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett & Darth Vader Watch for Kids

The LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett & Darth Vader watch is a cute addition to the wrist of any Star Wars fan, young or old, part of an overall terrific line of Star Wars watches LEGO have.

Star Wars R2-D2 Stainless Steel for Men by Nixon

My personal favorite from Nixon Star Wars watches, this gorgeous ‘time teller’ design inspired by R2-D2 does a great job of bringing across the Star Wars vibe in the most minimalistic and beautiful way possible.

Star Wars R2-D2 Watch for Women by Nixon

Same R2-D2 design by Nixon, only for women.

Star Wars Millennium Falcon Watch for Men by Nixon

Don’t be “alarmed” by the dark colors. This Nixon Men’s watch is inspired by the Millennium Falcon as it goes into lightspeed, with tumbled gunmetal to match the Falcon’s exterior.

Star Wars Stormtrooper Collector’s Edition Watch

A fantastic, clean black & white Star Wars Stormtroopers watch by Nixon. My personal favorite feature is the kill-stun emblem, which makes me laugh because they always miss anyway.

Star Wars Stormtrooper Time Teller P Collector’s Edition Watch

Same same but different. This Nixon Stormtroopers watch offers a much more subtle design, which includes the blaster Stormtroopers use to miss with for the seconds dial.

Star Wars Jedi Knight Leather Watch

Nixon do a great job of making little stuff mean a lot with their Star Wars watches line, including this Jedi leather-wrist watch, which includes a dark-light side chrono sub dial, and the Luke Skywalker Lightsaber dial along with the Jedi insignia.

Star Wars BB-8 LCD Watch

Kids usually look for very different things when shopping for watches. This BB-8 flashing lights LCD watch pretty much answers all their needs in terms of functionality and design.

Star Wars C-3PO Gold Watch

If you love gold, the Nixon Star Wars C-3PO stainless steel watch is perfect for you, or whoever you’re buying this as a gift for.

Star Wars Death Star Watch by Nixon

I just love this Nixon Star Wars Death Star watch, part of their Star Wars Time Teller series, whether it’s the Death Star surface as dial texture, or the laser blasters for the seconds dial. Wonderful piece thanks to the little details.

Star Wars BB-8 Watch by Nixon

Do I really need to explain? If you want a high quality watch referencing Star Wars and BB-8, this one is the perfect watch for you.

Star Wars Classic Stormtrooper Watch

Disney’s Star Wars watches offer a much more different style than the one we see by LEGO or Nixon, and not in a bad way, offering those who aren’t too subtle about them being Star Wars fans.

Tokyoflash Launches Kisai Radioactive and Vortex Wood

Kisai Radioactive Wood 01

Tokyoflash never ceases to impress with its cryptic ways of telling time. Each of its designs seems to be a riddle that takes a bit of time to get the answer, and these two are no exception.

Kisai Radioactive Wood and Kisai Vortex Wood, as their name suggests, are available in a natural dark sandalwood case with a matching strap. While most watch makers turn to steel or plastic for their timepieces, Tokyoflash proves to be a tad more original and classy. With that being said, there still are several differences between the two models that could determine future owners to prefer one over the other. The differences result not only from the design, but also from the way the time is displayed. The name of each product is suggestive, in this case, too, with one looking a lot like a nuclear control panel, while the other one resembles a time vortex a la Doctor Who.

The watchmaker reminds people that due to the natural properties of wood, the watches may appear lighter or darker in real life than in these photos. In other words, not only is this a limited edition watch, but each one of them will have a unique color and grain.

Gone are the days when you had to swap the battery of your watch with a new one. Tokyoflash’s timepieces come with a built-in battery that recharges over USB in 3.5 hours and lasts about 1 month, depending on usage patterns.

Unlike some of their more complicated designs, Kisai Radioactive Wood is quite easy to read, so if anyone asks you what time it is, you will be able to give an answer quickly.

Vortex Wood, on the other hand, poses a challange. With such features as two time zones, seconds, date, alarm, animation, LED light-up, audio feedback and touch screen operation, this timepiece is well worth the money.

This particular watch is available in two version, depending on the color of the display.

Hence, you can opt for a blue or red LED, depending on your taste.

Since it comes with a leather band, it is far more easy to adjust than the Kisai Radioactive Wood, and in my humble opinion, it even looks better.

Both Kisai Radioactive Wood and Vortex Wood can be purchased at the special release price of $109 (€97, £69) until 24th September at 11am Japan time. It is possible to get an additional discount of $4 by
