Want One: Nooka Zub 40

Is your current watch cramping your style? Do you want something a little bit cooler? Check out the Zub 40 range from Nooka - it's the perfect way to attire your wrist.

When it comes to men’s accessories, you have a limited selection. While women have shoes, bags, purses, jewellery and various other sparkly things, men are stuck with the usual suspects: satchels, watches, wallets and some understated bling.

A while back we showed you some of the best touchscreen watches, but what if technology isn’t your thing? What if you want to just look cool but without the trauma of having to hit a load of random buttons/screens just to figure out how late you are to meet someone?

If minimal cool is what you’re after when it comes to watches, check out the Nooka Zub 40. Oh yes, the name alone sells this bad boy. Alright, so what makes the Nooka Zub 40 different from your average manly wristwatch? Well first of all, it looks bloody cool.

The lines, the curves – surely this is sheer art in watch form. Secondly, it solves a common problem: what do you do when you get sick of your current watch? You have two options. You can either just put up with it while harbouring a hidden sea of resentment beneath your otherwise smiley façade, or you can throw it out and buy a watch that you like more instead.

With the Nooka Zub Zen 40 all you have to do is change the straps. Oh yes. It’s a cheaper alternative to going out and dropping some hard-earned cash on a new watch AND it allows you to keep your current watch face (which you will love by the way, it’s simple, clean and straightforward). All you have to do is simply pick a strap colour that you like better, slide off the old strap and slide the new strap on. It’s as easy as that. Nooka’s clever use of slide-technology means changing your strap is a piece of cake and there’s none of this ‘arsing-around-with-clasps-and-material’ craic that usually happens.

Simple and, er, stylish

The Nooka Zub Zen 40 is a modern watch that retains some element of tradition. The straps and finish are all very swish and cool, but the face of the watch sticks to the good old hands-to-tell-the-time structure that we all know and love.

If you’re more of a digital man, fear not as Nooka have you covered too. The Nooka Zub Zoo 40 has one of Nooka’s unique digital/dot/thermometer-style faces.

Digital Display … Swiiiiisssh!

As for the interchangeable straps? Well they come in virtually every colour under the sun, so you’ll never be stuck for choice. Wearing a swish black suit to an event and want your watch to coordinate with your fashion-forward red shirt? Put your black Nooka watch face on a red strap. Feel like you want to dress from head to toe in green, just for the craic like? Get a green strap. All your friends will be jealous (eh, of your watch, not your crazy fashion sense…)

Nooka describes itself as a company that makes products that have “mind style”. Since this watch is like something out of a dream, we’re prone to agree.

Kit out your wrist with a Nooka watch – you’ll never get bored of looking at your watch again.
