**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

The handset on the first version killed it. Glad to see the upgrade.
Thanks for watching Alton!
I like a lot of what Timex is doing..I agree the newer model is an improvement. Also agree a better movement would be nice
Thanks for watching my friend!
I have the same problem with short hands, especially the seconds hands, used to have a Bambino and really loved its dial, but that short seconds hand truly bothered me, so I ended up selling it to a friend, and now he wears it on a daily basis, so it was a win-win.
I have to disagree with you on the hands Sir :) The syringe hands actually let you see the numbers rather than blocking them so it makes the watch easier to read at a glance for both the 12 and 24 hour markers as well as the 1-12 markers for the minutes (because the reality is knowing the closest 5 min marker is often all we need to know) I do agree however that having a bracelet option is nice.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
just grabbed one for $95.00 mechanical 😊🎉
Awesome!!
I believe the movement is a 17 jewel Seagull movement (not exactly sure what the movement number is). This is a pretty solid movement for this price point.
Thanks for watching and for the info!
If that’s the case, does it have a stop mechanism in order to prevent overwinding?
@@cookiemonstahmetal I've been doing the standard 30 winds on the days I wear it. I've had no overwinding issues.
Definitely improvements, but like you said, the movement would be the main weakness. Can we even get these movements serviced or changed out if necessary? I’d love to see a Miyota movement in there & pay, what, maybe another $35?
Thanks for watching Chris!
I just bought this lil guy. (The black dial) feels substantial. The bracelet feels the part.
Very informative. You saved me $160 (the older model is on special).
Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Good video 👍 Josh, love the looks of this Timex, an ideal daily beater.
Thanks for watching!
If this were made with a 42mm case it would be my dream watch.
I just want to know is how long is the power reserve
I picked this one up and put it on a black Barton silicon strap with a gun metal buckle. Love it.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks. So really comes down to just the dial and hands changed? Not looking at band/bracelet or case style (color or polish etc) since it looks to be the same case.
Basically. Thanks for watching!
If they had the old one with a black dial I would choose that one.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, the changes were definite improvements.
Thanks for watching Jeffery!
Thanks again for another great review. I have to say (in my opinion) that's a lot of money for what's essentially quite a cheap watch..🤔
Thanks for watching!
Hello Josh. I agree with you that the changes are indeed improvements. This said, the huge negative for me is the unknown Chinese movement. I much rather see any Japanese movement used in these watches. Thank you for sharing my friend 👍
Thanks Felo!
Beautiful watch. Would really be perfect with a japanese movement and a higher quality bracelet. Like that it sadly is way too expensive IMO, especially the MSRP.
Thanks Josh
I still believe the Hamilton Khaki Field is the best watch out there for the price .
Those are great!
The movement is a seagull, a very reliable and accurate movement, it is an eta clone.
Chinese build with American pricing. Looks good. I wonder about the power reserve. I agree with your assessment of movement quality. Plain sapphire or Anti Reflection? Overall good review though
I'm not sure about the power reserve sorry. I'm not sure about AR coating on the crystal either sorry. Thanks for watching!
Crystal/Lens: Sapphire
Is it possible to buy a Movement and install it in this housing? It’s a nice dial and housing.
I'm not sure maybe. Thanks for watching!
Hello Josh, can you tell me if the movement hacks? Regards
Yes. This movement hacks. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
how often do you have to wind the watch?
Once a day should suffice, thanks for watching.
Not to bad! I like the hands on the other one more but they are too short. Timex has been making killer watches lately.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, how long does the charge last after winding it up?
Great question! I'm not sure exactly. Thanks for watching!
you were saying about miyota hand wind movement, do you know which one would be a good fit? i was on their site and did not see any hand wind movement. only automatic. any input would be appreciated.
Thanks for watching and for the question. I know I saw some hand wind only miyota movements but I cannot recall what they were. I'm sorry,
@@TheTownWatch i saw from a watch movement site that they may have discontinued the self winding movement... too bad.. you have any suggestions for another brand of self winding movement?
Is that bracelet replaceable with a leather one? I don't like bracelets.
Yes you can change out the bracelet. Thanks for watching!
how many hours does the movement work?
That's a good question! Sorry I'm not sure! Thanks for watching!
@@TheTownWatch I bought it and checked it, the movement lasts about 44 and a half hours if you are interested to know 👍🏻
@@kaen7632It has sapphire crystal glass or Mineral glass bro ?
@@sujoydasgupta9711 Hi, Sapphire Crystal 👍🏻
Should've made this in a stainless steel. That coating is going to wear off and make it look busted in a couple months.
Definitely, for me, this watch is beautiful and I think the price is also good, however the fact that it comes with a Chinese caliber is inexcusable. I would have preferred it to cost a little more and come with a more reliable movement. A Seiko NH35 or a Miyota 821. In short, I wouldn't buy it. Thanks for the video.
Cracking watch
Thanks for watching!
Just ordered one. Will be tossing it on a suede strap immediately
I almost bought the 36mm Timex mk1, but that cheap movement made me pass. Too many negative reviews. Baffled me how Timex won’t switch to Miyota for $20 more and just charge a little extra.
It would be nice if they put Miyotas here, they use them in other watches. Thanks for watching!
I got the MK1 for like $80 for my fiance, and she loves it. If you can get it on sale, I'd say go for it. Design wise, it's a beautiful watch.
👍
Thanks for watching!
it is a lot better but the movement kills it.
Thanks for watching!
Chinese movement? Come on Timex
Thanks for watching!
That tiny movement is sad
💯
What she said...🤣🤣
Poor Chinese movement watch instead i bought a 30 dollar china mech watch
