Watch Yourself

The Vega Watch

Time and time again you’ve made resolutions you just can’t keep.

But this year will be different, seeing as you’ve already synchronized your Vega watch — our favorite from the surf-and-skate-happy designers at Nixon.

The oversize, plastic, elastic bracelet has a stainless steel casing and comes in jewel colors and fake wood grains. (Buy the pink one and two bucks will go to Boarding for Breast Cancer.)

It doesn’t cost a fortune ($60), looks great, and can take a beating while keeping you punctual for your long list of new pursuits (reading the classics, jumping rope, saving the endangered Yangtze River dolphin).

Looks like you’d better clock in.

Available at Blades Board and Skate, 156 West 72nd Street, at Broadway (212-787-3911); 901 Sixth Avenue, at 32nd Street, level c2 (646-733-2738). To see styles, go to nixonnow.com.
