At last! How to set the compass!! I thought mine was broken but i followed the clear instructions you gave and it now works! Thank you Sir!
THE WATCH IS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD AND KEEPS PERFECT TIME.
( WATCH-TIMEX INTELLIGENT QUARTZ COMPASS INDIGLO).
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
I will probably buy this watch.. i was watching reviews for mechanical solar watches and ran across this...price wise this is more affordable.
I recommend buying direct from Timex of Amazon, and try and get one on a bracelet. It’s a great watch imo
Great to see an in depth review of this Timex. I have been tempted to buy it a few times.
You will love it too if you do get one such a great watch
This is the one I've been waiting for. Thanks Mr M.🍻
Great stuff enjoying it man and of a very cool, functional watch - Quality stuff mate 👍👍
Thanks Simon! Appreciate it and you as always
Awesome watch, and thank you for taking the time to go over the features and how to use / set them. Awesome job my friend 👏
Thanks Felo! It was a long time coming lol, unboxing was at least three months ago, face palm!!
Mirrly on Time Watch Reviews No worries my friend, we're all busy, and tine flies...be well and God bless.
Thanks for the video and your time.. Thinking of getting this watch for my water / fishing / boating activities..... currently have the Casio protrek for my backpacking and Hiking / camping and tho Casio makes a excellent fishing watch with Bluetooth connectivity I was looking for something more traditional looking and made for tides and a basic compass for navigating the inner water line of the Puget Sound area out here in Tacoma Seattle area.... plus Timex is a good old classic😎👍
@@TwitchRadio the tide function isn’t 100 percent accurate as it is based on 12 hr intervals and the tides don’t exactly follow that, however it’s close and you can easily adjust it if necessary. Compass function works great. It’s a great watch overall thanks for watching
You have a knack for finding the coolest Timex watches Chris. This and the Waterbury chrono you had on some time ago are probably the nicest looking Timex watches i've seen, at least in the last couple of years. Absolutely love the analog display for the sensors on this watch. Sure, not the most readable, but very cool. The lug design is a bit disappointing, with the 16mm width. You are restricted to these flaring straps which i've always found a bit weird.
This one is definitely one of the very coolest ones and what’s available on the website now even better with sapphire crystals, little more money but a super cool tool watch here for sure!!
I have every differnet model of the Timex Compass watch ever made. lol and all the different colors as well...I am a Timex hound.. lol
Nothing wrong with that in my books! I love me a Timex!!
@@MirrlyonTimeme as well...great videos by the way.
Great video thank you! I love the watch and have always been a fan of timex watches!
I love Timex as well. Thank you for watching.
Your video is 10 times better than the timex video they provide….
Thanks colt! It was a long time coming, but glad I finally made it.
Thanks for the review mine is in the mail cant wait to get it. Took me forever to decide on it.
Awesome, what one did you get? One with stainless steel bracelet?
I was having a hard time deciding between the steel bracelet one and the leather one. I only liked that the steel one had sapphire but liked the off-white face better. And it looks more comfortable and practical for long hikes
Great watch if you learn to use it perfect for sailing and diving good value too
Agree amazing tool watch thanks for watching!
@@MirrlyonTime awsome channel buddy top content thanks for sharing
This is a very detailed video. Thank you 🙏
You are welcome!
This Timex does more, and yet you can get it for a great price, and that's a bummer that the buckle strap broke off. Good thing you still have the watch lol
Yep was able to Jerry rig a fkm rubber strap for it, so I’m happy wirh it at the moment thanks 62
Very cool watch. I like the look of it as well That's a shame about the screw
Fortunately the tube fits in there fairly tight or at least tight enough to hold it but yeah, not likely going to be able to get a decent strap for it but I like it on the fkm rubber
Wow thank you for the brief review 🙌
You’re welcome! Please subscribe to and share the channel :)
This is a really cool watch, I had no idea it existed!
Awesome watch! Amazon has some nice deals on em right now!
Thanks for this video. Can you please explain the technical differences (if any) between timex TW2V48900UJ and Timex TW2V64400X6? Is the latter a new model?
I will look into that for you and get back to you n8 thanks for watching and please subscribe :)
Can you use the compass without needing to take it off your wrist?
@@jamesrobinson8997 yes of course you can! Works great either way
If i get the leather option would i still be able to take it to the beach or will the salt corrode it or something
Well leather and water, esp salt water, not a good option, go with the silicone band or the stainless steel, Timex website should have some nice options with a rubber band if you don’t like stainless steel
@@MirrlyonTime thanks for the advise I'll probably get the leather one and a silicone strap that i will change every time i use it in salt water and i will be rinsing it off after
고마워요 잘 셋팅 했어요. ~
hi bud, woult the settings you did work for the Intelligent Quartz Tide-Temp-Compass Watch T2N720 ? as thing of getting the t2n720,,,,,any help would be great thaks great review
I think the same settings apply to every Timex tide temp compass watch.
@@MirrlyonTime thank you for your reply ,,,,awsome video,,,, do you not set the temperature on the watch ? cheers stay safe 👍
@@deemak3349 no, you don’t set the temperature. It has its own sensor as part of the “intelligence quartz” movement. It utilizes the caseback to measure temp so if it’s on your wrist it will measure your body temp, if you want to measure the temp in a room or under water leave it off wrist for at least 15 minutes it’s pretty darn accurate too! I used it to tell me the temp of my pool at home just dropped it in the pool and picked it up 10 min later to check. Pretty awesome feature
@@MirrlyonTime hi i received my watch today, google is saying my magnetic declination is -0.14 (0 8) can you please tell me which number to put in when im setting my declination,, the -0.14 ? 0r (0 8) ?. all so are the numbers minus or positive ? sorry but never done declination or set compass before,,, i have set the time date and tide....just need to set compass,, thank you so much for your replys, and sutch a great video so help full,,,,pluss just to say i love this watch its awsome thanks best regards 👍
@@deemak3349 so if your declaration is negative 14 degrees uiu would click on the top left button 14 times to move the needle…..I give an example of -10 degrees which is where I am do the same only you would push the button 4 more times than I did
Where can I get the silocone strap or the metal strap for this particular watch? Good video by the way.
For this particular watch I don't think that you can. If you mean this watch specifically, but Timex website has the other options with silicone or stainless steel bands, they don't sell them separately to swap them out unfortunately, if that is what you meant. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven't yet, God bless m8!
Hi bud how often do you change the battery pal,, thanks great video very informative thanks for sharing
Every 2-3 years max I would think, less if you use the complications a lot. People that complain sometimes that the watch doesn’t work likely need to try a new battery before giving up on it
You used the term "declination" which I construe to mean a celestial body's latitude of geographic position. Are you discussing magnetic variation when you set the compass 10° west?
Yes that’s correct, if you don’t adjust for declination angle you won’t be able to set to true north only magnetic north, at least that’s what my understanding is
Declination angle is the number of degree difference between magnetic North and True North and varies depending on where you are in the world.
hi the red N on the bezel through most of the video was at 3 o'clock then at the end at 12 o'clock so does it have a rotating bezel?
Yes for the compass function, bi directional friction bezel :)
Thank you for an awesome video

An excellent explainer

How to replace battery from battery case??
@@Cyborg91Ninja I would take this one to a jeweller to do the battery to be honest because I don’t know how the magnet for the compass works and I wouldn’t want to mess it up
Did you forget to mention that this watch has a light, or does only the 1854 version have a light?
Ahhhh sorry I must have this does have indiglo! However this particular version is quite difficult to read with indiglo the way this dial is illuminated the hour and minute hand are a little tricky to spot
Mine does not sit on the top when I try to calibrate the compass. Could you maybe help me? I could send you a video to Facebook example and you can tell what I am doing wrong?
Would be happy to help, send the video to mirrlyontime@gmail.com
@@MirrlyonTime sent you the video. Hope you can see it.
@@ARVIthereyet got the email, working at the moment will see if I can open later this evening (I’m on Eastern Time fyi)
@@ARVIthereyet sent two emails, the second I did a quick video
Demonstration for you let me know if that helps. Please subscribe to the channel as well I hope I was able to help you
I love this watch already, but your setting instructions go from compass to tide to compass to tide and so on. I really like your language and demeanour but please set the settings out in a rigid order. Regards.
Tides are slightly different every day, how does it update itself, or do you need to set the tide function each time you plan on doing something like surfing or boating?
Good question. The tide function is not accurate, a guideline as it changed every 6 hours I think so you won’t get the exact tone of the tide and will likely need to adjust it every couple days
How about this watch after 1 year?
Still working great! I’ve had to switch the strap because the nylon one that came with this did tear away from the lug, otherwise it’s still awesome
@@MirrlyonTime thank you
@@alessandro8970 anytime m8
How is the back, does it screw?
Will have to double check but almost certain it is a pressed caseback but the video should reveal it somewhere as well
Thanks
My pleasure, be sure to subscribe if you haven’t yet :)
You rotated clockwise but you said counterclockwise.
@@alancooke1131 clockwise it is friend, oops! Thanks for watching
Nice looking watch but does not work that good. Temp and compass will go out on you and not work properly. However it is a very nice looking watch.
I’ve heard this one can be gimmicky that’s for sure but I have found the compass and temp to be accurate with no issues thus far. When battery begins to weaken I imagine that is when functionality goes? Temp I find accurate if left in environment for 10-15 minutes off wrist as it will measure body temp while wearing, and results have been accurate on those tests
I find I have to recalibrate once a month for tide and compass, but it's still a great watch. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧🏴
@@Bonzman yeah the tide isn’t meant to be accurate, it only goes on 6 hour cycles , I honestly haven’t fiddled with the compass too much but whenever I wear it I always push the compass button and it has remained accurate
@@MirrlyonTime my tide seems to loses or gains about 20 minutes each month, luckily my friend a couple of miles down the road is the local Harbour Master and I phone him to get the exact high/low tides, his reply is "are you playing with that Timex watch again" 😂
@@Bonzman hahaha brilliant!
My compass is not working, no beep or changing of directions as we move
Sorry to hear that. How old is the watch? The only thing I can think of if it isn’t a complete malfunction is it may need a new battery as I’m sure those functions wouldn’t work or start to fail if the battery is weak. Not saying for sure but that is my best guess
@@MirrlyonTime Much much obliged to your reply, I bought the watch back in 2012-13, around that time, I just replaced the battery today wid a aftermarket one, not the original, can that be a problem as well?
@@UnknownPurush no I wouldn’t think an aftermarket battery would have that effect. Did you replace it yourself or have a jeweller do it? I’m wondering if in the process of changing the battery something got nicked or whatever. Are the other complications working the temp and the tide?
How much did you buy it@@UnknownPurush
Nice one dude can’t thank you enough as the the generic manual from Timex is a bag of shite!
Yes! And one of the gripes I forgot to mention in this video lol, glad it helped m8 thanks for watching
well i wanted to buy this watch but the compas and other stuff to use it i have to wear a instruction manual with me..... i will go with a smartwatch i think is the best and the fast
For practicality you likely cannot beat a smart watch that’s to be fair, but a quartz wafch that does all this, now that’s very cool! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t done so yet
Mine just arrived today but unfortunately the hour and minute hand are badly misaligned, shame as I love the look and feel of the watch. Suspect very poor quality control from Timex, so returning for a refund.
Argh how disappointing sorry to hear that m8, I’m sure they will send a replacement, did you buy it direct from Timex or on Amazon?
@@MirrlyonTimeThanks for that, got it from Timex UK direct, so have emailed customer support just letting them know and that I will return it. Shame really
Did you get a replacement?
Wow. That can do everything hahahaha
Perfect wafch for a guy like you that goes on bikes and adventures!
🎉
I have mine set so that it ponit to my home
That’s awesome!!
How did you do that? 😮
A Timex egyik óráját se tudja úgy elkészíteni, hogy a másodpercmutató pontosan a jelölésre mutasson...
Well, that is simply not true. I have an expedition scout that hits all the markers bang on. Admittedly though it seems to be the exception not the rule, and the other thing I always say, who really pays attention to the seconds hand on a quartz. I don’t even give it a thought but a sweep on an automatic; that’s something to look at. Thanks for watching m8 and please subscribe :)
So what I gather from this watch is you can't wear it as designed to use it's 2 most useful features... Nice
The temperature gauge yes, the tide guage, well I suppose but it would be quite difficult I imagine to have a dead balls accurate tide complication given that high and low tides are different in different parts of the world. The temperature guage is very accurate too, but yeah it does take some time to recalibrate it from measuring the temperature from your wrist. I see what you are saying though for sure, if it were possible (not sure it is) to make either of these complications more accurate the watch would be much more expensive. It’s a budget watch so expectations should match I think. Thanks for watching and for your feedback! Appreciate it
This watch is packed with complications. And it could be much uglier. Pretty useless of course, but fun. 🕐👍👍
Useless? Nope! I use it to measure the temp of my pool, and for the right person this is a bloody fantastic tool watch imo, but yeah it is complicated, cool
And complicated haha
Where is this watch manufactured? Do you really believe that the pricing for this watch is on par with brands such as Citizen, Seiko, Victorinox and Citizen that are manufactured in Japan with Japan or Swiss movements? I don't see how the build quality and labor costs of a watch manufactured in India or China can justify a price tag of $269 USD?!
Might be the Philippines, and tbh I’m not sure what movement this has in it, but most likely a Japanese quartz of some sort. And I certainly didn’t pay 269 USD for this one. At the end of the day, it’s a fantastic tool watch, and what I paid I am happy with, you can find decent deals for these on Amazon. The ones on the Timex website that are 329 CAD (or were) on the bracelet do have sapphire crystal, and the build quality is decent but I do hear ya on the price point. Thanks for watching m8!
none of this watch functions as advertised, horrible hand placement and additional features do not work. Do yourself a favor and skip timex altogether.
Well, actually, my watch works perfectly fine, will never skip Timex love the brand
If yours works fine I'd say 1 of 2 things is happening either they sent you one for a paid review and you got top treatment or two there are huge consistency issues. It's a handsome watch for all the complications but on mine the hour hand is about 15 minutes behind before it hits the indexes and the temp and compass are wildly inconsistent. Would wear for looks but the hour hand throws me. Maybe make a frankenwatch out of it but utter disappointment. @@MirrlyonTime
@@LastThankG0DfreeAtLast not sure what your beef is, I bought this watch from Amazon, pretty sure I stated that in the video, my compass and temp work just fine. It’s a great watch. Sounds like you should return yours for another or refund if you don’t like the watch. If I had issues with this one I would have and Amazon would have given me no grief over it, where did you buy yours direct from Timex?
I wouldn't call it beef I own 16 watches between casio, citizen and seiko with no complaints. I will be sending it back but it's the second timex I've given a chance and both have failed to perform. I simply have no interest in investing in timex anymore.@@MirrlyonTime
I got the same watch last week . The compass was working initially. Now its way off. I tried calibrating but it didn't work.
