Totally! I honestly wish more watches of this sort of design and size came out. An entire segment of the industry is being ignored and it would do Timex and other well to pay attention to it.

Handwind movement is downgrade from quartz

This is definatly a unisex model! Thanks to the smaller size, both sexes can pull it off. And Churchill wore small watches and he radiated style so don't tell me it's too small for men! Think it comes down to the silver dial and the tame case, very formal and timid but with a certain class

I'm also a woman and I have this Watch in my Watch collection and I really likes It!

Same here. It’s my favorite Marlin

Timex used to be absolute garbage in the mid 20th century, mostly due to their unserviceable pin-lever movements, but nowadays they are actually solid.

Very solid for Timex standards.

Got my marlin and actually for me it feels plasticy. I've ordered a Milanese strap to replace it as I've got the gold version, and looking at a softer black leather to replace the original.

Cheap and nasty

When I bought mine a few years ago, when it first became available, the winding stem pulled all the way out. I sent it back to Timex at their expense. They returned the watch with a bill for some ridiculous figure, but a quick phone call sorted that out in my favor. Other than that, I really love this little watch. I'm a watch nut and have some very expensive watches in my collection, but there are none I appreciate more than the Marlin.

Rnow. $79 . Go to Timex. Silver version on a mesh

I doubt you'd have any problems with ST6 in around 10-15 years, but this Timex watch is way overpriced for this movement

I would not be concerned about servicing this watch it will run for years and years.

Saw it when watching at 1.75 speed

Genuine leather 🐄

nope.....dress watch

Marlin Automatic is in 38 mm

I don't think it's normal. You've got a lemon I guess..

Return the watch ASAP, it’s a lemon.

Keeps to the originals back int he 60s

I found four of them at my local NR for the same price. Bought em all! I have small wrists and the Marlin is my daily driver so...

I knew i wasn't the only one. Got this marlin, beekman, miltary watch and blackjack snyders at NR for $20 as well.

if you find some for 20 send me one

It's incredibly small and there's no other alternative

@@travisogden9426 there' a JDM quartz version with California Dial

You could alternatively grab the ST 5, for $50

But Seiko 5's are horrible quality.

@@Chris-wj4ze Nothing could be further from the truth. Seiko 5 watches are the best value in mechanical watches with the exception of Orient.

@@GradyPhilpott Seiko 5's are overrated hot garbage: Inferior materials, misapplied markers, minuscule crowns that are difficult to manipulate, general cheap feel, etc.

@@Chris-wj4ze I own Seiko 5 watches and, while they do not compare to my Rolex watches or Tudor watches, or my JLC watches, or any number of other more expensive watches, to say that they are "hot garbage" is either an outright lie or the drivel of an ignoramus.

Intentionally - it's a vintage reissue

As it should. Vintage-style watch deserves as many vintage touches as possible. Besides, acrylic is a lovely material.

Nah. Given how it is a vintage re-issue, it should have vintage design elements with as much things about it as possible. This includes case size and crystal type. Besides, there's already plenty of 38-42mm options, so just get those if you're really that bothered by it.
