The larger NMX 650 collection sports more water resistance and a design that is more Seiko/Citizen in nature. The NMX 650 is a pretty massive 50mm in width and has a steel case and rotating diver’s bezel. It is water resistant to 200 meters. The whole package looks like a combo of the Seiko Tuna, Rolex Submariner, and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Looks like… not IS like.
While there are some nice manly colors here, a lot of the NSR 100 and NMX 650 pieces look like Oprah Magazine chose the tones for them. The overall designs are pretty good, and the inexpensive prices will make them appealing as fashion pieces or beaters (or gifts). Prices for all of these should be from about US$150 - US$300.

The NSR 100 watches are 44mm wide in steel with plastic bezels. The crystals are mineral glass and they cases are water resistant to 100 meters. The NSR 100 is typified by a larger crown and bright colors (aside from the black version) with matching dials, bezels, and straps. The straps are actually silicone. I don’t have a problem with silicone straps for the most part (aside from the fact that they get really dirty with ease), and you’ll notice that people use them instead of polyurethane when wanting to offer a less expensive alternative to rubber.
The NSR 100 watches look like something Tag Heuer would release for kids. But these watches aren’t kid-sized. With feeling that says “your first Tag Heuer Formula 1,” the watches are actually pretty handsome with just enough details to be both interesting and classy.
