Everyday Carry: Staple

Published By

Ultimately, all that matters about your everyday carry is that it gets the job done. If some fashionable watch can’t accurately tell time, then it’s not doing its job of keeping you away from an hour-long scroll session on your phone. Today’s EDC pieces are reliable, with a no-nonsense matte aesthetic that’s only incidentally stylish. You might call them staples, especially since they’re led by the Nixon watch with that very moniker.

It’s sleek, highly legible and user friendly, all while exhibiting a sterile chicness that wears comfortably. Plus, it’s made of recycled ocean plastics, meaning those versatile good looks are built from sustainability.
