Cheap, reliable, solid. And you dont have to worry about it getting stolen. Everything a watch snob hates.
Accurate
Casio does the same for half of the price
But...hear me out here...INDIGLO
Battery eating feature, that comes on every single time you move your wrist.
@@angryagain68do the new ones do that? I have one that’s 15 years old and it only turns on when you press the button
@@OgSigmaShowcase Don’t know about the new ones. Had one many years ago. Anytime you even “thought” about touching the crown it would light up. It tore through batteries like crazy……..until it predictably just broke.
I got two Timex recently that both have Indiglo. And neither one has ever turned on when I didn’t choose to click it on like the guy above claims. People just love to be haters. The indiglo is sweet
Indigo was a amazing feature, was activated by pressing button. Amazing
You make a lot of great points
But complaining about the looks of a watch YOU picked and bought is insane
Especially there is nothing wrong with the first watch (at a price of 40 GBP including tax). Obviously this guy thinks that the Chinese laborers who build these watches don't need to eat..
I have loved every timex i have owned. Yeah, the value for money might not be there but I have enjoyed each one.
Same here
I love their designs, but you are absolutely right when it comes to value and QC issues. I have bought several. The lower-end basic watches are generally ok. It starts going sideways when the price point jumps up and you start looking at chronographs, mechanicals and autos. The specs are rarely impressive and the QC issues are plentiful.
Yep! It's sad really. Timex has a fantastic history that should be celebrated. Just not with these watches.
the problem with timex is they don't pay ali express promoters 🤣🤣
Well, he provided proof while you don't have any. All my AliExpress watches really are better than anything he has shown in this video.
it's so cringe (but also hilarious) watching people get so bent out of shape that a Chinese watch that cost less than dinner for 1 at a mid range restaurant isn't super nice. Retail on Timex are kinda high, yes. But, no one pays retail for Timex. All 6 watches purchased at retail from timex website are half the price of a used (not very good condition) Tag Heuer F1, and purchased new from anywhere else is less than the tax on a used Rolex. Also the fact that half the complaints in this video are literally impossible to see without a magnifying glass. My Navi Xl has been fantastic and i get plenty of compliments on it.
Dont be a watch snob, but if you are gonna be a watch snob, dont be a poor watch snob that cant afford **at minimum** a Hamilton or Tissot or something remotely nice.
Last year, I bought my brother a Timex expedition north watch with sapphire glass and solar. It's got to be one of the most handsome watches with a strap change EVER. The case is sandblasted, so I'm not worried about polish imperfections. There aren't any QC issues on the hands(they're thin with an arrow at the end), and it has a basic military style. Listen, everyone and their grandma (literally est 1880s) knows timex uses cheap, non brand mechanical movements, so you shot yourself in the foot there. Secondly, Timex is the last manufacturer I think of if I want intricate details/QC like a swiss, considering they do make thousands of watches(not even hand built), I'm not gonna cry about it because I knew it was a problem. I'm not a Timex fanboy at all but as a novice watch collector I was aware of these issues with timex long before I ever bought one, they make cheap watches, there's going to be silly mistakes and totally uninspired designs that will look LAME(charlie brown x timex). I took each factor into consideration when buying that expedition north. I'm pretty happy with it.
I’m inclined to agree. I’ve had lots of watches from Timex, most of which I’ve returned. However, I now have the Marlin Chronograph panda dial, which I really enjoy. It’s not a spec monster but it’s a lovely watch in all other respects.
Love my Timex Q, just something about it that brings back to my wrist. A solid partner in the midst of my dearer watches!
I am glad somebody said this , i enjoy my weekender(38mm without the chronograph) and my expedition but one of the UFC special edition got the second hand stuck because the positioning of the minute hand didn't have enough gap between the minute and the second hand. The market they are competing with is ruthless , they shouldn't release so many models every year and focus on quality control.
I have a timex expedition passed to be from my grandpa and I really love, it, but also given that model was not in the video
Nice watch .
I guess we don't need to ask you to get the new Timex Titanium Automatic GMT with the Miyota 9075 to review then?
There's about 2000 watches I'd buy over that. Butterfly clasp!? How strange.
totally agree - superb watch, grade 5 titanium which you have to look to Omega or Grand Seiko for models
I have mixed feelings on your perspective you've presented on the value of Timex watches. Some of your gripes, especially related to QC issues, are spot on. Even with the low cost, some of those QC items mentioned is unacceptable. I have four quartz Timex watches myself (yes, I love quartz for their accuracy and durability) and fortunately, I haven't had those QC issues on all 4 of them outside of the hands not lining up on the indices at each tick which is an issue I have on some more expensive quartz models. I have a version of the 36 and 41mm Expedition model watches, along with a JDM only "trench" watch and a Q Timex. I concur on the overall poor quality of the straps used on the Expeditions. My straps' holes are fraying, even those I don't even use on either watch. Definitely poor quality straps. I have no quality complaints about the "trench" watch or the Q. However, based on the prices I paid for the expeditions (approx $35 ea), I really can't complain about that. I got what I paid for. These models are brass, coated cases which is disappointing but understandable at this price point with low quality straps. Non of these are no heirloom watches but intended to be beater models that I enjoy the look of while they hold up for as long as they will. As for the mechanical movements... well, what were you expecting? So they are small, cheap Chines movements. Do they do the job? I wouldn't be purchasing a Timex mechanical model expecting a world class movement quartz OR mechanical but you're right about the value NOT being there if paid at retail for any of their offerings. In my mind, you get what you paid for when you pay the actual market values of the watches. I haven't paid MSRP for any of them... always purchased them at a steep discount.
I think you’re being petty. I have a few Timex watches that I love. I have that same Chronograph in a different color, it’s beautiful and I’ve gotten several compliments on it plus I just love looking at it. I also got the Timex and Raised by Wolves collab watch and it’s awesome. I feel like the stuff you pointed out, most non-RUclips content creating watch enthusiasts aren’t going to care about. Like the stuff you claimed about the dial of that Standard I couldn’t see at all. Could be just me, but I do think you’re over exaggerating a bit
Timex is doing so many things right these days, I own 3 but I agree that the nicer ones are expensive for what we get in the movement and crystal department.
Timex been killing it this last year. The problem is low production runs. If they have a watch you want, grab it.
Yep, got a Timex Expedition Chronograph for £55 in march, by the time it had arrived in april prices had gone up to ~£180. I'd like to see a £11k Rolex appreciate 70% in just under a month
My first watch was a Timex at around 9 years old. They are meant to be cheap and reliable, but sacrificing on longevity as well. Because of this, they don't hold their value.
Timex is best when it is simple; so they are subpar when attempting something requiring complexity. For this reason, I'd argue that as the price of a Timex watch increases, it becomes more of a mall watch. For example, Timex sells their regular Expedition watches at around 30-50 dollars, but charge around $120 for that same watch with Sapphire and Solar, but it no longer has Indiglo. If Timex can't do Solar without Indiglo, they shouldn't do Solar at all. Below $50 dollars, there are good bargains. As prices climb, complexity is expected. Timex doesn't do complex. This is also why I think it's silly to buy any Timex that isn't Quartz. They are throwaway watches. If they only last 7-10 years, that's good enough.
hmm cheap watches lol QC issues, lol not saying a word. lol The watches flat out look cheap even in the Video, at the price point they sell out they have to make them super cheap to make a profit, so you get crap. Skilled labor isn't cheap, and cheap labor isn't skilled.
Expedition North Field Solar 36mm. Great watch. The lume is weak. But it’s a great watch. The only Timex I wear.
The thing I hate most about the Timex quartz watches I had was that it proved impossible to open the snap-on case backs to replace the batteries. These were pressed into the case with such a force that I broke my tools on them. Even a watch shop owner had a "WTF" moment.
Yep, heard a few pleads for mercy coming from the back of the shop, while the owner came up and started interrogating me on what sounds it made when it came off in the first place
FYI, a lot of the newer models have little coin-edge battery replacement slots (such as many of the QTimex models) that makes changing batteries a snap!
I only ever owned 1 timex and it was the expedition. It kept perfect time and it looked like the hamilton khaki, which was literally 14 times the price. I used it in my job which was pretty manual labor intensive and it never let me down. The crystal also was very tough
Your not wrong but this is like a car expert and reviewer says a toyota camry is dull and boring, and the specs are all you get nothing more. That's the point! Timex like toyota are low cost but get the job done with the drawback of no excitement. You cant expect greatness from $40-$80 watches (besides casio. Thinking about it now casio is more like toyota and maybe timex is more like honda). They just do their job nothing more, nothing less. Now i agree that i wouldn't really want to buy any of the higher priced timex's at $120+ but thats like spending 50k on a fully speced camry, no matter how much you spend its still a camry. If you want a more exciting car spend your 50k somewhere else. Now QC issue are a big deal, ive owned 3 timex's with no issues but thats not to say there all perfect. But lets not forget about sekio's infamous QC issues, but people kinda just laugh that off at this point. Buy 3 seiko divers and i guarantee at least 1 of them will have a misaligned bezel.
My first watch in the early 60’s made me happy and so I felt grown up
Ive had my timex marlin since 1978....still going strong and keeps good time !
I must have the anomalous example.
this is a bad bad take im sorry. judging a brand off of none of their "bread and butter" models is like judging a creator off their lowest viewed video. makes no sense. go try a Q Re Issue model, or a scout, or any Q Chrono model they have, those are serious quality, youre asking too much for 40$ watch of course youll be disappointed
You can't excuse poor quality because 'it's not their bread and butter'.
A watch brand should have a level of craftsmanship that they don't slip below. That level for Timex is basically as low as it gets. I have handled most from the Q range, and I was also dissapoited. They feature some of the worst bracelets and clasps I've ever seen.
All of these watches (aside from the camper) have RRPs way above $100 on the Timex website. It's not good enough.
I'm sure they do sell a good watch somewhere, but they also sell a lot of junk.
I really like their Q lineup (except the bracelets on the Q reissue). The Expedition North line up is good just over priced. The iron man watches are really good. But overall I think like you. Materials most of the time are questionable (metals and movements), and they are very over priced on most of their more premium watches. They are a bit like Seiko when colab with another brand they mark up the price up the roof.
Yep! I agree. They charge silly amounts for those collabs.
I handled a friend's Q and I wasn't impressed either. The bracelet was hot garbage. Pulled the crap out of my hairs when just trying it on once.
Timex uses far too poor materials period
Timex's biggest fault is that they're CHEAP, not in an affordable way.
timex quartz watches are too loudy
The only selling point about timex is the Indiglo, otherwise kinda hard to justify it. I don't think we got another budget analog quartz with backlight dial as consistent as Timex
I can understand chrome plated brass but a plastic resin watch with $65 price tag? They really made casio general sound much more reasonable
I do enjoy the Indiglo. It's certainly a cool feature. It's hard to justify all of the problems and flaws for it though
Buys cheap watches at cheap price. Complains that those cheap watches are cheap. 🤔
Casio watches are cheap and good.... Why do we give Timex a pass for creating crap?
Timex expedition rugged.bulletproof and cheap.and I go through watches.and it grows on you
Timex now is basically a shadow of its former self 💯
I hope they can turn things around. Quality and value is important!
I don't agree. Go look at their recent releases. I think they are have been offering very interesting models for the last few years.
not really, two words... marlin jet (automatic)
Well, I think they're not, old Timex watches, from the 1980's or even the vintage ones were pretty much cheaply made and affordable watches with a consumer minding a budget, their automatic movements were jewel-less and practically disposable. I think they're now more into better quality watches but contrary to Invicta (old vs new) Timex never has been a high value/high specs watches company. But yeah, nowadays with the Marlin and the Jet they're launching more interesting designs, however their bread and butter are cheap watches like the Expedition, Easy Reader, and weekender lines.
The Timex intelligent quartz range was a great range of you were after interesting combinations, plus they had a fly back on their chronograph.
The thing that bothers me is even the expensive ones are chromed brass and mineral glass.
Their quartz diver is almost THREE times the price of a similar Casio Duro !!
I love the style of my Expedition Field watch, but the chrome is all wearing off and the indiglo has died ☹️
I really like my Timex Expedition North field post solar 36mm. Stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, 100m water resistant, solar powered movement. Very good watch.
Yeah, the Tiburon is expensive. It has some QC issues like being quick by more than 40s per day, lume is not consistent with hands lasting about 20minutes and markings lasting through the night. Wa disappointed and returned it. 500CAD for this is way too much,
@@KellAlbuquerque It's a nice watch and an exception to the Timex standard build quality.
But for that price, I'm buying a Citizen 👍
@@KellAlbuquerque Cool watch .
@@edwardfletcher7790 And you'd get a much better watch for the price.
I've always had a soft spot for Timex. The Weekender was my gateway watch to collecting and my 41mm solar North field watch is my EDC lately. I'd love to get my hands on the Timex Jet if it ever comes back it stock. I think for most of us that like Timex we know that, like Citizen, you absolutely never, ever, pay retail.
Timex navi I got had no problems, Unidirectional bezel also. Half retail price. Lume on the dial is a bit subdued, but on the hands is ok. Decent leather strap, good for work. Watch is a bang around, the kind 90% of people use.
Take a look at the Marlin reissue with art deco 12-3-6-9, and the new Marlin Chronograph, and other new releases.
What about the Timex Waterbury Traditional Day Date quartz ? This one seems to be the best Timex on budget. I was hesitating buying it, but as I already own a Timex that is TOO LOUD !
To me the brand name stands for cheap. I won't ever buy one
Ouch!
I'm surprised you didn't check out the panda Timex Q Chronograph (Model: TW2V42800ZV). I'm very tempted to pick it up on sale some day. The only complaint I have with it is the questionable inclusion of an acrylic crystal at that price point-- but surely that can be replaced. It's been on the market for a couple years now, but it'd be cool to see a review from you.
Design may be cool in some models, but it's cheap piece of s.., probably every single one of them. Even indiglo foil on presented expedition is not covering whole dial. My friend bought T series quartz flyback chronograph about 2 years ago and it looks cool from the distance, but indiglo is not working anymore, case is getting scratched just by looking at it, the leather strap is long time gone and it's ticking like your grandma's cuckoo clock (yes, quartz "intelligent" movement), so you don't want to put it on your bedside table for the night. For me it's something that you may want to buy for 50 eur, but not for 200 eur.
Yeah,$40 is insanely overpriced.Timex sales last year was 1.4 billion.Their watches are durable and reliable.There are watch brands 10x the price with crappy bands and cheap movements.Put up your list of 2000 watches you'd buy before them.Give me a break 🙄
Yeah, sorry, all my Invictas are higher quality than these watches...some even cost less. My aliexpress watches have better movements and finishing. With all the money that Timex has you'd think they'd do better. The only I've that was ok to me was the mechanical field watch.
The Seagull movement is well known to be excellent. So your opinion is definitly unresearched.
Every watch brand has a video making totally legit points on how shite it is.
I cant be talked out of an M79 auto batman.
Quality Control!!! Tell me about it. I recently bought a Timex Marlin 40mm moonphase with ocean green dial.When it eventually got to me after being 'lost in transit' There was an immediate problem and you couldn't miss it even if you were cross eyed. The second hand missed every single indice on it's journey around the dial. Now if that watch passed QC then I'm a chinaman, in fact looking through the paperwork at the time I did notice the country of origin was the 'Philippines ' Nuff said!!
It always blows me away when these influencers by a brand like timex and then get sour because it doesn’t have the fit and finish or spec sheet of a Rolex. lol, you bought a Timex my guy.
You bash them for MSRP.
Who buys them at that price? A complete fool.
Just go get an Easy Reader for $30 USD and you have an easy to wear strap monster.
Plus Indiglo is kinda cool.
I just picked up a Navi XL Automatic on Ashford for only $75 and it’s a great watch.
No quality issues. Heck Seiko has quality issues too you know.
Maybe you have to be American. Every one of our Dads and Granddads had Timex watches. A Casio ? Not The Same. Additionally I find your specific complaints basically boil down to “it didn’t dazzle me”. Not compelling. Still like your channel
I've had similar experiences with them. I do have two Q series watches that I think are quite good at the price I paid (50% of RRP), but would be considered poor at full price. I think Timex have copied Seiko's homework and are elevating prices without doing anything about design, construction, and quality.
I used to love Timex alarm clocks 40 to 45 years ago they were still made in the USA and the company was based in Waterbury Connecticut
Great designs and price, but junky. I’ve also had a few. The Marlin and Q-GMT remain in my collection along watches over 30 times the price. What that says is Timex has huge leverage with its history and designs. This fact makes their QC all the more unforgivable.
Brass and 50m of WR with weird ticking noise and most of the models with pinpoint copy of luxury watches is the reason I don't wanna buy timex, I mean look at the waterbury collection its having the copies of rolex day dates and datejusts, omega rail master and even a gshock gm2100...the only potential watch in their collection was Q Reissue but that too have only 50m WR it should've been 100m
Hi there, I can fully understand your dislike of TIMEX, however, you never talked about the High end TIMEX 🤔 I do not see any T2M706 reviews 🤷♂
These are sub $60 watches. Do they keep accurate time? My 36mm Indiglo keeps +/-0 seconds. Is it perfect? No. But I realize that I'm wearing a $40 watch. I get it, Timex is not your cup of tea. If you want to feel clearly disappointed with quality control, go review random Seiko 3 hand watches.
The reason I could never get behind timex watches is that, even though, yes, the dials looks clean and highly readable, to me they just look like the dials of bland generic cubicle office clocks. I wouldn't want that aesthetic on my wrist. If would siphon on my soul every time I'd look at it.
Had many Timex over the years my first was a 1980 Made in Britain man wind boys watch about 34 mm. I still have it and its still going strong. in 1977 my Christmas present ( i was 12) was a LED 55Q boys watch that ate batteries back when they were not cheep.I still have this and its still going . These were well made watches and at a reasonable price. Move on to 2001 and i bought a Timex Humvee digital great watch and they go for quite a lot now if you can find them, still well made but in china. Lately i have bought a few Timex and they are poorly made un inspiring knocked together chinses crap to be honest that would not go 1 round with a Pagani Design.
No they are not what they were but they try to play on a great heritage that they had But i think if Mr Timex were alive today he would not be happy.
your asking to much for a production brand. timex delivers great value with its robust 3 volt quartz movement. for a very reasonable price you can wear any style you like .look at any moderate or expensive watch and you can wear it as a non fake in a Timex, I own 100s, All 2nd hand and 99 percent work. if a lot of watches is your pleasure. Timex works. Note, I have opened them all and some are fake
I started out 1.5yrs ago with 2 cassio and 2 timex. Although i dont think i would by another timex, Im very happy with my weekender 38mm and quartz expedition. Cheap but good looking warches that do get worn. No qc issues. Moving onwards and upwards but glad to have them. I also have an original Marlin but the mech has just failed 😢
Owned 6? My old man has gone through six watch bands on his single Timex and it still rocks. The watch is older then you or I
every one of those look like pure shit. My Dad told me when I was a kid to stay away from Timex and buy Casio. I have therefore never owned a Timex. When I was a kid there was a feeling among the knuckle draggers where I am from that Timex was "American" made and therefore superior. Not!
I have a lot of love for their sub $50 field inspired watches but when Timex tries to break out of the "every man/women" mold they fall flat. I blame the current owners for trading off of the brand's name while using the cheapest parts possible and then charging prices that would get you TWO watches off of Ali's that are ten times better.
I cannot pity you mate. You picked the most horrible, ugly, cheap watches and inevitably you got exactly the crap you chose. With some degree of watch knowledge and a little more budget it is easy to get some brilliant watches from Timex.
I'm a Timex fan and own a handful of them and I don't disagree with your take on them.
Spot on, Kieron…these aren’t your grandfather’s Timex.! Only one I owned of “Casio quality” was the “camper” you mentioned back in the ‘80s. Cheap plated cases, snap-off backs impossible to remove, second hands that bounce and rarely hit their markers. Compared to the Casio MRW series with it’s crazy accurate Miyota quartz mvmt and the amazing Marlin/Duro, Timex is garbage. My $21 Casio MRW200H-BV at $21 USD hits every second mark, doesnt “bounce” and is accurate to +2/sec per month! Thanks for stating what needed to be said! 😎
I hear what you're saying but your comments don't always make sense. Timex have released over 1000 new models in the last 12 months alone, but you seem to have made purchases of watches that you had already suspected were poor, why?
I have collected watches for over 50 years, the route used to be several brands such as Seiko or Hamilton, but they are no longer priced as entry level pieces. Timex source their production of their most affordable watches to the same place as most other brands, China, and I agree some are poor, but some are excellent value for money and allow many people their first taste of a traditional style watch . Check out the weekender range or any of the automatic marlin models, and they may provide you a different perspective
All the crowns on my three Timex watches just popped out. Absolute junk. The indiglo is another crap feature.
I'd wear a Pagani ripoff or Invicta wrist barnacle before I wasted any money on a worthless Timex. When you buy a Timex, you actually need to get two. One to shit on, and another to cover it up with.
The only timex watches worth buying are the weekender and expedition scout line which are around 30-40 and 40-50 dollars respectively i think that those prices they actually have some of the best analog watches for the money besides that they use cheap amterials and insane pricing
Timex is relying why too much on "China" for production! sad for an American icon brand, that and their ever increasing prices and cheap looks. I am out.
Like you I went through several metal case analog Timex watches over the years, including the Waterburry and Expedition North models, but in my experience, resin case Timex Ironman digital is the only Timex worth considering. It's my main beater watch, and I like it even more than the DW6900, my other beater. I think Timex watches look good from the distance, but I would never look at one under a macro lens. For that matter looking at any cheap watch under 200 euros and expecting perfection is missing the point. Just wear it and enjoy it.
I agree with your last point. Below a certain price range, watches tend to become more of a tool than an item of jewellery
Timex was an everymans watch...not meant to be any high grade anything. The only thing Timex crushes it is in the Indiglo line...full stop.
Two problems with Timex. They raised prices way too much in the last few years. Their
leather watch bands are not quality bands. They are well on their way to losing their following.
Here, I'm lost. You said in the video that you didn't enjoy the first time around. Why then did you continue to purchase more watches from this brand? Any rational individual would never do that.
I wish timex would go back to making the Dial alarm clocks that are electric with the Orange glow . I don't use wrist watches because of my smartphones but I would still use an alarm clock
I feel like almost all these watches are the cheapest models in their catalogue, their Q line of chronos and M79’s are much better, not to mention the multiple collabs they’ve done where they jump in price but also jump in quality big time
Just bought Timex Peanuts Charly Brown and enjoyed all days, love it.
Timex was never good. Even when they were "Waterbury Watch Co" or whatever they were still the scrub-tier brand. I don't think anyone on Earth at any point would have been impressed by a Timex. You could pull your pin-lever Waterbury pocket watch out of your waistcoat pocket in front of a Guinean savage or Chinese coolie, and he'd have scoffed and pulled out a Longines or something to put you in your place.
I've got one of those indiglow ones, must be 20 years old, put a battery in it and it's fine. I agree it does the job well.
My opinion of Timex is not great for the prices they sell at. I've owned four and none were anything to get excited about.
Il ne faut pas prendre Timex pour ce qu'ils ne sont pas. Il faut bien choisir dans leur gamme. J'ai la Timex marlin chronographe, elle est vraiment top pour le prix. J'ai également la Qtimex chronographe, celle ci est moins qualitative, probablement moins bien finie mais reste toutefois très agréable pour le prix. Les autres modèles, j'ai du mal... On voit bien même sur leurs photos que ce n'est pas du haut de gamme très bien finie.
I prefer INDIGLO to any lume. You can read your watch ANY time of day or night.
I have 8 from the brand and have bought and sold many others.
No matter how good they look I always feel let down when I feel it in my hands.
The one in your thumb nail felt especially cheap. I think I paid $80 and after receiving it I would not have paid $10 for it... The upside is I loved the look so much I pulled the trigger on the Omega it possibly was paying homage to.
Somehow after all the let downs, I still will buy more because it's the brand I grew up seeing my dad wear as his daily.
There were some cult watches made by Timex and your list contains none of them so I think you shouldnt complain.
Timex is going more the fashion brand route , they make beautiful watches but using poor materials and living off of their brand name , sadly Seiko is heading in the same direction in my opinion
Timex is not the same which it was before.
It looks and feels cheap even with having a decent price.
No longer a good brand imo
У меня Timex Expedition T49905 . Мне всё нравится и всё устраивает.
It’s a fair assessment but your expectations are set too high.
What is the matter with you? Timex makes extremely inexpensive watches and tell great time for many years. Man, get a life.
Seagull movement actually good and reliable. I fell in love with marlin. But to each their own he he
i feel like this video is kinda unfair to timex. they’re kinda supposed to be more of a tool than a pretty accessory. i mean take a lickin it keeps on tickin! plus indiglo
That ticking noise in their quartz watches alone is reason enough not to buy a Timex
What’s missing is quality. You get what you pay for.
They are now assembled from parts in Malaysia, China and quality control is about equal to a lame Chinese ali express deal
I have a timex expedition chronograph as my work watch and a timex q gmt chronograph as a weekend watch, both bought way under msrp. I love them both even with a lower spec sheet and qc. I can’t get into most of the Casio designs and am willing to take a “lesser” spec watch to look at something I thoroughly enjoy. I’m a timex fan in terms of a reliable watch that I like the look of and don’t expect a lot from
I have several Timex watches. I like them a lot and have had zero problems.
I'm a huge timex fan, buy ill definitely listen yo what you have to say
The ironmans are my everyday wear
50m WR on a watch called 'Expedition' does not inspire confidence.
