Glad you're back, Pete. Your channel is one of my favorites, I was hoping you weren't giving it up. I took a small hiatus from watching RUclips videos, so I didn't realize you went AWOL until a couple of days ago when I resumed. (I know, not the same thing, but it was a nice break to only drool over watches 16 hour of the day and not 18.) Do whatever you need to make it work for you.
Glad you're back at it. Bill Gates used to say he'd assign complex tasks to his lazy workers because they'd find efficient ways to complete the assignments to be done with them sooner. I think you've just stumbled upon this methodology yourself. Nice job. Very nice video showing how you slowly either like or dislike the watch as the initial "wow" factor fades.
Did you take a break just so the longer hair would pop? ;) Please don’t quit on us- a couple of great channels stopped from what I assume was burnout. Once in awhile is better than not at all. 😎
Good to have you back, as a new tuber I was trying to do 2 videos a week and a bit like you started to tire, so going for one decent video per week from now on. This watch looks good on the elasticated bracelet
Good to have you back, Pete! I totally understand your hiatus. If you found yourself getting burned out on making videos, and god forbid, watches themselves (gasp!), then a break is required. "Something that requires very little effort for my slacker ass" is probably my life's motto LOL. A Timex on a Speidel stretchy bracelet is probably the ultimate Grandpa Watch! I can envision a whole roomful of 90 year old dudes hitting their Indiglo buttons over their games of checkers in the Rec Room at the Retirement Home haha. Love the new format, welcome back man!
So glad you're back! I always appreciated your selection of watches to review and your perspective. You hit all the important points and it really helps to determine whether a watch is for me or not. But yeah, it should not be a chore. This format works, so I sure hope you keep 'em coming!
Hey Pete, glad to see you back, and loving the new format 👍As for this Timex, I think it's an awesome watch, appreciate you showing it in a variety of straps / bracelets. I think I'm going to buy one next time it goes on sale. Thanks again for sharing.
Really enjoyed the new format! I think it’s important to spend time with a watch, find its faults and charms and form a bond with it as opposed to doing a quick initial impression and then jumping to the next new shiny thing. Well done!
Hey, Pete! The new format is really fun. Then again, your vids have always been a fun take on watches. I have 3 Timex Standards now, all in the special edition “Dia de Los Muertos” (Day of the Dead) versions. Love ‘em. And I’ve been draining the battery too because my 5 yr old daughter loves the Indiglo at bedtime 👍😁. Welcome back, brother.
Great video as usual, Pete. Damn cool Timex, and when the seconds hand hits the indicies at least close to perfect, quartz movements are fine by me. Seems like a true strap monster (maybe a bit overused/tired term by now, but still practcal IMHO) as well. Love the dial and hands design on this one, it's different enough from the "original" with their own take. The Indiglo feature is of course always cool as well. Btw, I know I've been missing out on some various watch channels lately, maybe hence for me this was the first time I've noticed an accustic on your wall. Which I like, various guitars as gorgeous backrounds decoration always make me happy lol.
I like the new format! It is good to change things up and keep it fresh. That is a nice watch for $89, looks like an Omega. Definitely looks best on the bracelets.
Hello Pete, I really like your individual take on watches. You introduced me to Merkur and enlightened me on Vostok, so thanks for that. Seasons greetings from Neukölln, Berlin. Keep on keeping on. Mark.
I was just wondering these days what you're up to and am happy to see you're still around. Always enjoying your videos. I also liked the new format. Maybe you can add some non-studio footage from during the week next time? Or tell a little story about your impressions. Anyways, good to see you again. Peace :)
Man, I hate to see when a beloved member of the watch community falls of the map. It's happened before to me. I watched this channel a lot during the COVID era. Hope you're okay.
I've got a couple of these watches. I've had 'em 6 months. They look good. The time needs to be re-set weekly, and I only discovered a few days ago that when you press the light it slows the second hand down. Both watches do it, and one has a new battery. They're good looking watches though.
Glad to see a new video, I agree with others that I really enjoy your videos and I have $100-$2500 watches also, I never let the price tag decide whether I like a watch or not, please keep new content coming I really like your channel-JB
I like the watch (cannot beat that price) and the format! Would like to see more wrist shots with he different straps and a shot or two of you wearing them in real life over the course of the week. Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I appreciated the strap/bracelet fashion show - looks awesome on the mesh bracelet. Distressed black leather would work well also. Not sure if you mentioned this, but I don't believe the case is stainless steel, which would be a big drawback.
Love this format, Pete. Gives the viewer bite-size information on the tiny things you discover about the watch as you wear it over the week. I already have two Timex watches and now itching to get my hands on another one (a GMT) before the year is out. The seconds hand of both watches do not hit the markers, so I guess this one you reviewed is an improvement by Timex. Stay cool and roll out these videos at your own pace. We'll be here to watch them :-)
Hey man, where do you sell the watches you don’t keep, I’m asking because I buy a lot of watches and if you ever wanted to trade or sell let me know, thanks
Hello Pete, I've been a fan of yours for the last two years and have fallen deeply down the same rabbit hole as you and your followers. Yostok, Casio, Orient, Bulova, Hamilton, Rotary, Merkur, Shinola, Pagani, Timex, San Martin and Mondaine constitute my collection. My question to you is: If you didn't have any watches at all, which 3 (or 5, take your pick) would you choose? I ask, mainly, because, having about 50 watches and only 2 wrists, I would like some guidance on this matter, please. I dare say your viewers would, too. Keep on keeping on. Best. Mark - a Londoner living in Berlin. PS. Danke für alles und 'keep on keeping on'.
I loved how my Timex Weekender looked on natos, but I had to get rid of it because the ticking was offensively loud and kept me up sometimes. Does this have a loud ticking sound?
After watching this video I was still unable to tell if this would be a good buy. Is the movement any good? Does it have the legendary loud Timex tick, etc.?
Hey Pete! Everybody needs a break, but DAMNNNN you've been gone for a long time. I miss your videos, my dude! Have you gone completely off the grid in the Pennsylvania forest? Have you locked yourself inside the panic-room of your house, surrounded by boxes of sneakers and watches? Are you playing point guard for the Delaware Blue Coats, with the hope of dishing passes to Embid one day? I have so many questions LOL! Your realness is missed on youtube, with all these paid "reviewers" out here doing garbage reviews. Come back, Pete!!!!
Hope you're well Pete! We miss you!
Where have you been, hoping for more watch videos
Hey Pete. Hope all is well. Miss you on here my dude.
Hope ur ok buddy
Where you gone man?

Yeah man, I wanted the hair to have an impact 😂. Nah, I was spending time on other stuff, but I needed the recharge!

Thank you, I like the format, it makes more sense for me and it's kind of fun to do
Pleased you're back, new format is fine by me. It's your presentational skills that make your channel so watchable.
Welcome back Pete! I love the new format and this is one is already in my cart.😊
Glad you are back and I really like this format of video a lot!
Welcome back Pete
Good to have you back, I liked the new format, it's different 👍
Thanks you, all the good vibes really means a lot!

Thanks my man! Those day of the dead watches are so fun!!!
@@ChillinwitWatches Correction. I just got notification for a restock. Just ordered Timex Day of the Dead #4 👍 😁
@@cecilyau4440 literally lol at this, true watch collector!!
@@ChillinwitWatches Yes, it’s an illness 😁👍
Cool watch, and LOVE the new format. Keep ‘em coming, please!
Thank you my friend, will do!
Miss your videos bro!
Glad you're back Pete, the new concept is a great idea. 💪
BTW, good idea re format.
Have the same watch and it’s definitely larger than expected despite being 40mm. Like how you paired the different straps.
Loved that you showed it with all the straps! Good on ya!
Ended up buying this watch because of this video. Thanks for the lead on the Speidel Twist-o-flex!!!
Great video as usual, Pete. Damn cool Timex, and when the seconds hand hits the indicies at least close to perfect, quartz movements are fine by me. Seems like a true strap monster (maybe a bit overused/tired term by now, but still practcal IMHO) as well.

Awesome Mark, thank you!!!
@@ChillinwitWatches You are more than welcome, Pete. Peace out! Mark.

The diary format is clever and helpful!
Now what exactly is that ribbed khaki nato strap you show at 6:33? It looks fantastic and I need to get one (or two)(in every color).
Man, I hate to see when a beloved member of the watch community falls of the map. It's happened before to me. I watched this channel a lot during the COVID era. Hope you're okay.
It's got the omega vibes going on, I like it and the price is even better.cheers Pete.

Hey Pete! Hope you're ok bud - I miss your vids!
I'm proud to be a slacker. Good to see you back.✌
Slackers unite!
Hope you're well, Pete! ❤
Miss your videos?
A great review,for a great watch,cheers.

Hey man, where do you sell the watches you don’t keep, I’m asking because I buy a lot of watches and if you ever wanted to trade or sell let me know, thanks
Great review. It compares closer to the Trilogy version of the Railmaster.
I like the look of a bracelet a lot.

The only thing that surprised me is it wasn’t made in collaboration with Todd Synder! 😊
After watching this video I was still unable to tell if this would be a good buy. Is the movement any good? Does it have the legendary loud Timex tick, etc.?
I like the new format…..show some of your axes 🎸
Just made an impulse purchase for the green dial. What the hell, it’s only $89 and the Timex website waives shipping.
Toss on a black and Gray nato strap and you basically have the Omega limited edition Spectre watch on a budget
Breaks are good
Truer words have never been spoken!
You didn't Peep the Lume!🤣

It looks more like a ‘58 railmaster.
Look load better with both ears pierced 🤟🏼
Thank you! I agree!
Hi, do you want to cooperate?😀
