I really like what Timex are doing lately. This watch is absolutely on the money. I think they are reading the market perfectly. With phones and smartwatches, many people don't want a watch at all - those that do, want a nice one - and Timex are giving us what we want. The Q range, and the Waterbury's, at very reasonable prices are really cool, and for those who want a hand-wind or auto, the Marlins and Galli and this are definitely worth a look. I notice UK entry level brand Accurist are also doing some automatics - aiming at the enthusiast rather than the casual supermarket buyer.

I like it a lot. This is one that you'd feel good about on the wrist every day. I'd like to see if they come out with any different color schemes. $289 isn't bad, but for where I'm at financially I couldn't justify that current day.

I really didn't need another $300 watch with a Miyota in it. Nothing wrong with Miyota: I've just already got a couple of them. However, I ordered this watch a couple of days ago because I just cannot believe it's a TIMEX. It's a cool looking original design, doesn't look remotely like anything else, as well as being a repairable automatic, well it's just the complete opposite of everything I associate with the brand, other than being affordable which it is. I think this is one that deserves to be in a collection, if only for the novelty and originality. I'm actually kind of excited about it.

How is an acryic crystal supposed to protect against scratches and scruffs when it takes over the bezel's job? Should have been sapphire if they wanted to go this route.

It's actually quite a good looking watch. Definitely something a little different. I don't mind acrylic but in this case it's such a large piece and actually does the job of being the view piece and the bezel feels like it's inevitably going to be scratched a lot...that's a lot of poly watch you will need. But it does make it look cool. Although wait until Timex does the Chrono version of this watch aka the Timex Glassbox. :) It does look good and unique at this price point, not too bad.

I like the glass, very nice finish dial and subdial, with date at 6 would have been even better, also a double brins fabric strap would have not add thickness. For me it's a may be purchase. Although I dislike the 19mm strap size, a real deal breaker to not be able to use my 20mm straps on it. If I take it, buy a good leather, may be in gold brown, will add a third of the initial price to the all.

Can you move the sub dial hand independently? Like for GMT function?

@WhiteVaille 4 ай бұрын

Very lovely watch. I think given how prominent and exposed the glass is, I'd maybe prefer sapphire, since this thing is definitely, inevitably going to get scuffed. Also, while I absolutely love the texture of the woven band, I wish they offered a few other color options. Anyway, very tempted to save up for this, though I would rather see it closer to $200.

At first glance it looks like it's missing a bezel. My second thought is that crystal is going to be a scratch magnet. I guess overall it looks semi-premium but not my thing. Also, not sure I trust Timex for its value proposition in general and its looks over substance ethos in its lower priced watches.

They surely could have release a version with diffrent function as subdial. 24H subdial is fine in some places, Canada, further more Alaska or maybe Finland, Norway, all those place where sometime there is sunlight for 20 hours a day so it's useful to know if it's a.m or p.m.

At $289, I’ll pass. I see a $100 watch, if that. Edit: after watching the vid again after Ben's response, perhaps I am being a bit too harsh. I understand these are Timex's premier models, but at the end of the day, it is still a Timex with a miyota movement. I suppose I am more interested in the cheap watches priced around $50 and under vs. their higher end models. I just can't justify spending that much on a Timex.
