I own a Q Timex (Pepsi) and a Q Timex GMT (Batman). Both have a problem with the crown and movement. When I push in the crown, after taking advantage of the hacking feature and having set the time precisely, the minute hand jumps, either forward or backward, by maybe as much as two minutes. This makes setting a reliable time very difficult. Actually almost impossible. I am not alone in this. While no RUclips video review of the watches seems to mention this, I have read the same complaint in in other online reviews and comments. These are beautiful pieces, but setting the time on them is maddening.
I have the Q timex and eventhough the gmt looks amazing I would have preferred the pinchy looking bracelet plus the deep blue and red bezel (the one the original q have ). Excellent video
I’d MUCH rather have the Q reissue because of the 12hr scale. I don’t have any need to know whether my home time zone dark, and I don’t operate on military time… so a 12hr is just easier to read at a glance.
Great review. I own 7 Qs and two M79s. I don't think this will take interest away from the other Qs. I never cared for a GMT hand, the bezel was enough for me. I like the cleaner dial without the GMT hand and I never really see myself using it. Timex offers such great value and quality, I find myself buying nothing but Timex lately. I currently own 60 Timex in my ever growing watch collection. I also love the Marlins and the American Documents watches
Other than price point, I don't see a reason for the original Q to exist. I might watch sales for 6 months or so before deciding to pull it. I certainly wouldn't buy the original over this new GMT. This was definitely a surprise, and I think it's going to continue to sell out when they restock, at least for a little while. I hope nobody pays over list on Ebay though.
I got my GMT version last week and love the watch. I think it is worth every penny they are asking especially when you could get 20% off of the watch like I did…… but definitely the illumination is lacking my 30-year-old Tag Heuer still has much better illumination than this new Timex
the Q got many new colors added so I'm sure there will be lots of colors for GMT, like a white dial/silver bezel and also colabs with hodinkee, Todd Snyder, Huckberry all that stuff, so maybe don't rush to get this pepsi if you want a different color, they will come within a year
Yes. Its not a true GMT. This is a “callers” GMT that allows you to track a 2nd time zone. Like if Gam Gam Lives in London and you live in California, you will know not to call during her Bridge Game.
I prefer the original one - to me it has the vintage appeal with the not-applied indices and the hair ripping bracelet (the new one is definitely an upgrade, but it just doesn't look good imo - and I think I prefer the older "clasp" rather than a pressed metal one. I also prefer the cleaner dial, without the GMT and Swiss Movt text. This new one isn't of my interest and I don't plan on buying it - at least for now. The bezel on the original is enough for my "GMT" needs and I already own some other true GMTs if I need the extra hand - but the truth is that I don't.

Great review, cool background music and outstanding macro shots !!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
So I ordered it. Had a little trouble finding it. Thanks for the great review!
set the watch to an hour, set gmt to match hour, then set minutes.
I have the original Timex Q Pepsi, which I love and wear often. I think Timex did a great job with this new GMT.

Love the GMT function added but kind of wish they would have the other bezels launched as well
It’s probably coming. The Q line-up added a ton of colors after the initial launch.
Just ordered the ‘Batman’ bezel version, when it went on sale in my region.
@@woozertoo Nice!🔥🔥🔥
That's a nice looking watch you have there. The temptation is real. 😅
love those new indices and bracelet
Does the free moving friction bezel not move too easily to trust?

I have the batman version love the aqua marina blue matte on the bezel
costco has this for 129 now. great video! cheers!
How loud is the ticking on the GMT? Timex are usually fairly loud.

wow very impressive collection! do all 7 Q's get equal wear or do you have a favorite?
That’s overkill. I’m curious though! Why not explore other brands?

totally agree. bracelet is definitely an upgrade here.
I wonder how it will look like on a good Spiedel expansion bracelet

Can anyone compare this gmt to the harborside?
Is that just the reflection of the bezel or did you pick up a nice scrape on the bottom-left of the case already?
It’s a smudge. Didn’t see that. It came right off.
We miss you Bro. Hope you're doing well.
What is the Swiss quartz that doesn’t hit the indices that he mentions here?
Tissot PRX
@@watchmegobroke4365 good one, thanks. I’m picking one up in august so I’ll be sure to check that,
Could you put a different straight lug bracelet on it do you think ?
Yes. Anything that is a straight end 18mm.
@@watchmegobroke4365 appreciate it
GMT function: does it work really or no?

Timex (USA) assembled in China?
Come back!
The Seestern looks like a Tandorio
They are probably the same
This is the third RUclips channel I've heard using this song
Its youtube free music.

To be a 'true' GMT watch, Not GMT hand but Hour hand could be rotated independently to the GMT hand !!
Correct it's an office GMT. Have the Batman version and love it.
Moonswatch and Q Pepsi GMT pimping ain’t easy. 😝 😆 😂 🤡 🤡
