Back in high school I collected sweat shirts. In college it became hats. In my older age, and fitness age, it is watches. Geard Hardware is another awesome company that makes a wide variety of watches, but a couple of them are directed at us in the bodybuilding world.

The Zx1-1219 watch from Geard Hardware is an awesome all-metal watch. I say all-metal to ensure you that this is one of those watches with links. I love this. You really get the feeling of high quality, durable and fashionable all in one watch. The Zx1-1219 is exactly that. You will love this watch.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/IU3l57VU_c8″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” bg_color=”#2e2e2e” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#efefef” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#ffffff” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”medium_depth” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_color=”#000000″ column_border_style=”solid”][text-with-icon icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-arrow-right” color=”Accent-Color”]

Why You Should Trust Our Reviews

[/text-with-icon][fancy-ul icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-ok” color=”Accent-Color” alignment=”left”]
  • EXPERT REVIEW PANEL
    Our review panel is made up of individuals with many years of experience in the sports nutrition industry, dating back to the early 2000’s. Their tenure gives them knowledge on brands, supplements, ingredients, dosages and more.
  • FULL CONTAINER REVIEWS
    Unlike the majority of “review” sites on the internet, Fitness Informant reviews every supplement on a full-container basis. What does this mean? It means that a review is not written or recorded until the last serving of that product has been finished. We’ve all had products that were great for the first couple of days, but then lost their effectiveness shortly after. We want to ensure you are getting a full review based on a full product.
  • INGREDIENT EDUCATION
    We breakdown each ingredient in our reviews to educate you on exactly what the ingredients do, and what is the proper dosage of each ingredient to effectively do what they are intended to do.
  • 100% HONEST – NO B.S. REVIEWS
    Our number #1 priority is to inform you proper supplement selection through honest reviews. The majority of “review” sites on the internet will push you to buy a certain product based on the commissions they received. Not us. We want you to purchase the highest quality supplements at the best value. We put your health and wellness first. To achieve your goals we want you to use only the best supplements that you can afford. We do this by being honest.

We first start by looking at it’s design. Design consists on how the apparel item is designed to be word.

We then look at functionality. Functionality consists of the different features the watch has.

After that, we look into durability. This talks about how well the product is built.

We then take a look at the fashion statement. We think about the different wardrobes we could wear this with and more.

Finally, we talk about value. Value is the combination of design, functionality, durability and fashion in relation to cost. Another part of value are the competitors and other versions fitness swag on the market.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

Design

(10/10)[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]The first part of the design that really stands out on the Zx1-1219 is the big ass face of the watch. The face is black on black which is awesome. The big watch face has the 12-3-6-9 in big red letters. It also has a four digital readers to tell date and time.

On the face you also get the turn dials and switches. Most the switches are black to match the face, but the analog timer is red along with the main reset button. You have four buttons on this watch to set the watch, run a stop watch, set the date, etc.

The next part of the design which is key is the metal band. Most of these watches made for us are made with rubber bands. That is fine as no adjustments are needed. The metal band is nice and thick. Plus it looks awesome. However, it does come at a standard size, so depending on your wrist size you may need to take it into a watch shop to get it adjusted.

Overall the design isn’t anything crazy but it looks amazing so it was designed appropriately for this watch.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”5331″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

Functionality

(10/10)[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]I have a cell phone to tell time, why do I need a watch? Why does anyone wear a watch then?! This watch does exactly what it should do. It tells time, both analog and digitally. It also tells you the date and the day of the week. This is key for when we start to lose our memory…like me!

The analog time is easy to set with the big red dial, and the digital options are just as easy with then instructions to follow.

There is also a stop watch on this watch for those of us that like to time stuff. HIIT cardio anyone?

You do have your alarm clock option along with your hourly chime too. Not sure why anyone ever needs the chime, but it is there for you if you want it.

Overall, this thing is solid. No it doesn’t connect to your iPhone or computer, but it’s not a health device. It’s a confidence device.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]

Durability

(10/10)[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]

This this is a tank. It is heavy (I like this about this). It is all metal, stainless steel actually. It has the metal band. All things to point to a solid, durable product.

The glass is also super hard to scratch. I have dropped mine and nothing. Why? It is made from Sapphire Glass. This glass is scratch resistant. This is an awesome feature.

The watch is also water resistant up to 3ATM.

The minute, hour and second hands within the watch seem to be nice and secure. I bring this up as I had a Fossil watch that basically fell apart from then inside. Sucked. This shouldn’t happen with this watch.

The lock system is nice and tight too. I want to mention that because some lock systems feel loose or don’t securely lock.

Overall, I think this is one of the most durable watches I have ever had. Maybe it is all the metal, but I love it.

Fashionability

(10/10)[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]

In what world is black on black NOT fashionable? We get glossy black and matte black with this watch. I love that.

The face is so big that it is going to catch people’s eye. As it should. I have had numerous people talk to me when I wear this watch. The big bold red faced numbers of 12-3-6-9 is a nice addition to give it some pizazz. This couples nicely with the red dial and button on the side of the watch.

The band is amazing. The middle pieces are matte while the outer pieces are glossy. Really well done by Geard in my opinion.

If you look the part (i.e. live a life of fitness) then this is going to look great on you. Even if you don’t look the part, it could still too.

This watch is black, meaning it goes with essentially anything. I love the way it looks on me, and I guarantee you will love the way it looks on you!

Value

(10/10)[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]These watches are cheap. That means they will cost you over $200 (use our code to get it cheaper!) but it isn’t cheaply made. This means you are getting a nice solid watch at a good price. Think of other watches like Fossil. They charge just as much and their watches fall apart quickly. 

Sure, you don’t get the functionality of an Apple Watch, and those are $200+, but this isn’t meant to be a nerd watch. No offense Apple users, this watch is meant for those of us that clang and bang in the gym.

I have no issues paying over $200 for a watch in which I can wear every day, boost my confidence and make me look more like a bad ass.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][heading]Available at these Fitness Informant approved retailers:[/heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#efefef” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”2px” column_border_style=”solid”][tabbed_section style=”default” alignment=”left”][tab title=”1-WATCH” id=”1509114502646-0e9cc-a9d4″ tab_id=”1510020818663-9″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” top_padding=”10″ bottom_padding=”10″ text_align=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1509130110995{padding-top: 12px !important;padding-bottom: 12px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #2e2e2e !important;}”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][text-with-icon icon_type=”font_icon” icon=”icon-tag” color=”Accent-Color”]FITNESS INFORMANT’S EXCLUSIVE “GEAR’D HARDWARE ZX1-1219 WATCH” DEALS[/text-with-icon][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
