    Eco-Friendly Birthday Gift for Ryan’s Big 40th Birthday from Nixon, a Socal Local Brand

    It has been two and half years since Ryan and I officially became Californian. One of our biggest reasons to move in San Diego is that we love ocean, we want to live somewhere close enough to enjoy the beautiful blue world more often. Ryan loves swimming, fishing, sea kayaking and sometimes surfing as well. And me, I grew up in a seaside city, I love ocean, it makes me feel like hometown. This May is Ryan’s 40th Birthday, it’s a big thing! We might plan a travel if the pandemic goes better and we feel safe enough to travel. But a nice birthday gift is still so important. I want to find something local, something sustainable, something he will love for sure.

    Here comes to Nixon’s Light-Wave watch, which is the first solar-powered watch made from #tide ocean plastics. Powered by the sun, its unique construction keeps harmful plastics out of the world’s oceans. This dovetails with the introduction of digital non-solar powered surf and tide watches, and a full line of bags also made from ocean plastics.

    Let’s take care of the ocean as much as it takes care of us—one right choice at a time.

    Innovation doesn’t stop with features or design. Nixon’s sustainable watches push the envelope with their materials, too. Eco-friendly watches use alternative sources for the raw materials that make up the case, band, movement, or all of the above. For example, as part of the H2O Yeah! program, Nixon’s surf watches use REPREVE® Our Ocean™ recycled plastics. This material takes plastic that would otherwise wind up in the ocean and repurposes it into high-performance watch cases and bands. But they don’t stop there. Whenever possible, they use recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET), which generally comes from discarded, single-use plastic bottles. As a significant source of pollution, Nixon is proud to do their part to remove this plastic from landfills or waterways and give it new life in their watch line. The commitment to sustainable watches, clothing, and accessories is something they’re insanely proud of. Rest assured, Nixon is always looking for new ways to be more friendly to the environment. Nixon’s goal is to get waste out of the ocean and more people into it.

    Staple Surf & Tide Watch

    Set it and forget it. I chose The Staple for Ryan, who always has too many things to take care of. A nice timekeeper is perfect for him. Featuring an ultra-slim profile and a cushy new rubber-blend band, the Staple ticks the boxes of style, function and comfort. Customizable display layout allows you to display any two functions simultaneously, personalizing your piece to your needs at the touch of a button.

    Packed with endless features, the Staple is Nixon’s ultimate “one-and-done,” time piece. With custom display layouts allowing you to display any two functions simultaneously, all you have to do is pick what’s most important to you. Time of day, chronograph, timer, alarm and date (with an auto calendar through 2099) all leave you with endless options to tee up your Staple exactly to your liking. Left with a tough decision? Squeeze the top buttons and let the new coin flip feature decide for you.

    Nixon The Staple is the new “one-and-done” is done with one-use plastics. Now made with #tide recycled ocean plastics, the Staple looks as stylish as ever — but with an eco-friendly mission. Its razor-thin profile, customizable display, and plush rubber-blend band make it easy to wear, while the chic and modern design makes it easy on the eyes. Thanks to the rad new coin flip feature, the Staple makes important decisions simple. Whether it’s what’s for dinner or your next adventure, the Staple knows which road to take.

    • Design

    Sustainable materials and low-profile performance drive the Staple’s design cues. A pair of perfectly broken-in skate shoes is an excellent analog to this watch’s all-day comfort and reliability.

    • Custom Display

    Customizable display layout allows you to view any two functions simultaneously. Functions include: Time of day, day/date with auto calendar through 2099, chronograph with 1/100 second resolution, timer, and alarm.

    • Movement

    Recycled Ocean Plastics

    Every product makes a difference in Nixon H20Yeah! Bags Collection. Constructed with 600D polyester exterior and 70D polyester interior made from REPREVE® Our Ocean™ and REPREVE® recycled plastics.

    Being environmentally conscious in material choices is a high priority for Nixon. Nixon has done extensive research to find the right partners to help them make quality watch bands out of alternative materials. Nixon’s sustainable watch band offering comprises three different materials: pineapple leather, #TIDE recycled plastics, and standard recycled plastics. Pineapple leather is a relatively new material made from cellulose fibers extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA, and resin. This PETA-approved, vegan material can do anything natural leather can do, including making beautiful eco-friendly watch straps.

    The second is Nixon’s #TIDE recycled plastic nylon. For this watch band material, they exclusively use plastic waste destined to wind up in the ocean. By partnering with local seaside recycling programs, Nixon can get the material needed to make stylish and durable recycled watch bands while keeping our ocean playground cleaner. Finally, Nixon uses standard RPET (recycled plastic) for other nylon watch straps. While the raw, recycled material comes from a broader range of sources, it still reduces their watch bands’ environmental impact. Nixon’s sustainability efforts don’t stop here, and with your support, they can continue to look for innovative ways to take care of our planet while still making great products.

    Nixon’s Releases World’s First Line Of Technical Watches Using #tide Upcycled Ocean Plastics

    Coincides With Launch Of Sustainable Replacement Watch Bands,
    And 100% Recycled And Curbside Recyclable Packaging

    Nixon, in step with its commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint of its watches, bags, and other accessories, has revamped its most popular Tide and technical watches, creating the first digital watch collection to incorporate the #tide brand of ocean plastic. Based in Basel, Switzerland, #tide ocean material® is one of the leaders in upcycling ocean waste and transforming it into a premium award-winning raw material for new products. Each of the new Nixon #tide watches takes two ocean-bound plastic bottles out of circulation, creating a sustainable timepiece built to last.

    In creating its new #tide ocean plastic collection, Nixon has introduced one new tide watch, the High Tide, and upgraded the materials in some of its best-selling technical watches to include #tide in both existing and new colorways. The current Nixon #tide line includes:

    –     High Tide ($220): Nixon’s first new watch to be released using #tide ocean plastics. A high-definition tide watch with a uniquely customizable display built for long days in the water.

    –     Staple ($115): A watch that can make those tough decisions for you. Featuring a razor-thin profile and customizable display, the Staple’s digital coin flip feature

    –     Base Tide Pro ($150): Clear, informative, and comfortable. Nixon stripped away anything that wouldn’t be helpful or functional in the water when creating this ocean-goer favorite.

    –     Rival ($125): A tide watch that combines environmental consciousness with everyday wearability. The high contrast display and ultra-soft silicone band make it stylish enough for daily wear.

    –     Siren ($115): The beach meets the street in this tide watch that blends style and substance. The perfect blend of comfort, function, and environmentally friendly style.

     #tide Collaboration Is More Than An Environmental One-Off For Nixon

    Nixon has always lived in the rare space where style meets function, creating custom-built accessories that reflect its unique take on the world. Nixon’s latest efforts to create a more sustainable line of premium accessories goes well beyond its new #tide collection of watches. Late last year, Nixon revamped its bag line to be the first in the U.S. made from  REPREVE® Our Ocean™ ocean plastic fabric. Earlier this year Nixon debuted an array of replacement sustainable watch bands,  along with 100% recycled and curbside recyclable packaging throughout the packaging of its entire collection of watches.

    eGlass Shatters Distance Learning Barrier

    Illuminated Glass Board with a Built-In Camera
    Finally Restores Eye Contact to Learners

    Teachers across America are struggling to keep students engaged both online and in the classroom. Studies have shown that the loss of nonverbal cues and eye contact has a catastrophic impact on retention of information.

    The solution is eGlass, an illuminated transparent writing surface with a built-in camera that allows instructors to write on the screen while looking directly at the students, increasing eye engagement. It also connects to their laptop, projector or monitor and integrates with Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, etc. making it a clean, easy and engaging setup.

    “Engagement goes through the roof as soon as students are introduced to eGlass,” said Marcia Kish, a blended learning specialist and coach. “When we get them engaged, we get better test scores and kids want to come to class. This is truly a game changer.”

    eGlass accepts orders from the general public, it previously manufactured a limited run of 2,000 units after the device was unveiled in January – which sold out almost immediately. eGlass is available for orders from last month with special pricing for educators which brings the cost of the 35″ model below $1,999 for school districts. eGlass is great for sales too and will change the way business professionals use Zoom!

    In addition, feedback from both educators and learners who have already tried out eGlass has been unanimously positive. For example:

    • “As soon as I showed my kids eGlass, they all turned their cameras on. The kids were excited and engaged through the power of the eGlass system. When my principal saw it, he said every teacher needs to have this!” – Andrea Jahnke, art teacher from West Geauga High School in Chesterland, OH.
    • “eGlass is SO COOL. I totally blew my kids’ minds today!” – Delia Bush, 5th Grade teacher, Kenowa Hills Online Learning Academy, Grand Rapids, MI
    • “The new eGlass lightboard is amazing! Game changer for hybrid/remote learning AND Deaf Education” – Natasha Rausch, teacher at The Learning Center for the Deaf in Framingham, MA

    eGlass is available in two sizes – 35” and 50”. MSRP is $2,198 for the 35” and $3,298 for the 50” model. Special pricing for the education sector is available which brings the cost of the 35″ model below $1,999 for school districts.

    Stop the frustration of going back and forth between tabs and easily transform your workstation into a dual-screen setup. SideTrak Slide and Swivel portable monitor helps increase productivity and efficiency!

    For me, I am an artist, blogger, also an art teacher. As the school hasn’t reopened yet, I have been doing online teaching for almost a year! To be honestly, I love teaching online for a couple of reasons, one is because I can overlook all the students artwork at the same time from my screen. But there is always a problem that I need more screen space! I can’t just minimize Zoom window because I need to see the details of the students’ artworks. And at the same time, I need to check on the reference images for the drawing demo. Luckily, SideTrak Slide perfectly solves my problem. I just easily drag the reference images on this extra monitor and still keep the Zoom class at laptop screen. I also can check the emails and Google search something whenever I need to with the help of extra screen room.

    Plus, it is very very easy to assemble and set everything up. It is light enough to carry around too. The monitor looks so clear that you won’t feel it is a extra add-on. Adding a second screen to your workspace increases productivity by 20-30% and can save you 8+ hours each week! End the frustration of going back and forth between tabs!
