Nixon chronograph watch review4/6/2023 The Regulus has 5-year battery life but the operating manual recommends change every 2 years. If that would be implemented in the next version I would upgrade my watch without doubt. Casio G-shock DW-5600) could improve functionality of Regulus significantly. Timex Grid Shock and T49851, Casio G-SHOCK GD 350), or flash alert (e.g. While the timer blinking indicator in the silent mode on the home screen can be easily missed the there are no other signs for the alarm being triggered. Silent mode is great but the Regulus designers forget to implement additional cues to let the watch owner know that the alarm is on.

Fiber-reinforced robust case, big buttons water resistant up to 100 m, large LCD screen and easy to navigate menu are the main pros of this watch.
