What?! Another Timex?! This little hottie deserves a bit more recognition than it is currently getting, I reckon. Perhaps not the 'next big thing' like the Q, but it might prove to be a viable alternative to the Seiko 5 for guys and girls who don't mind quartz. Cheers, Jody
Clean, attractive, simple quartz timepieces are so underrated...
I'm a watch collector and own nothing but quartz. I like the simplicity of just picking one out of my case and wearing it and not having to deal with the maintenance of an automatic.
I gotta say. Timex is really starting to pick up the pace!
From hero to zero and back again?
Yep Timex has been on ball with the automatics(even though they may be overpriced) but still they now the market and their demographics and have been on par 9/10
First the Timex t80 x Pacman and now this 😍😍😍😍
DMGMillis they have the heritage. I expect a bit more from them. I really was hoping for more as it is such a great brand.
Not literally, I hope.
jody's way of greeting HELLO sounds like a neighbor calling me from a distance....😂😂
It grows on you.
I love it ... won’t name names, but a lot of watch channels just seem so smug and haughty. Jody and his HELLOOO instantly is a breath of fresh air!
In the price range of the Casio Edifice but the Edifice has a screw down crown and screw down case back.
Exactly. Would love to see Jody take a look at one of the EFV-100 or 110s.
My favourite is the Casio MTS-100D-7AVEF. A nice watch with a sapphire crystal and a 10 year battery for about 80$ ( I paid 50€ on Amazon).
@@nyancorp I even like the EFR-527

I received mine today. Awful, the second hand hit between the markers.
With you on the quartz! After having two mechanicals break down - and break my heart - I've started going for quartz in all my watches. Of course there's the romance of the mechanical movement, and I do still have some that I can play around with sometimes, but for every day wear quartz is just freaking great.
Thin, light movements, supremely accurate, inexpensive, much more reliable, often solar powered...
Got the Timex Allied lt 40mm in blue as a knock around watch and I have to say I've been really pleased.. Plus I'm never lonely as the sound of the ticking keeps me company... Good review as usual,keep it up!
That really is a great looking watch. Nice to see a solid bracelet. Kinda wish they would have squeezed in Indiglo, but maybe that wouldn't work with the sunburst dial.
Make quartz great again!
Nah Quartz has been good for years already. As much as I hate to say this, million dollars companies, MVMT, Daniel Wellington and other fashion brands build their legacies upon quartz watches only.
Nice watch, nice to see Timex being a part of the conversation again without mentioning Indiglo 👍
I was thinking this watch needs Indiglo to remedy the lume situation. Or a luminous dial.
Jody, when I was a kid, my first watch was a Timex (parent bought in 1972). I remember the excitement. Since then, I have been rooting for them to stand tall again. I look forward to the progress they (hopefully) will continue to make. GO Timex... YOU CAN DO IT!
There’s the enthusiasm I need on my Tuesday morning! Awesome looking watch.
I was looking at these the other week, so it is great to see this review, thanks.
Had to buy one. Love the looks and can’t wait to wear it. My first timex in years. Used to think they were a bit naff but looks like they’ve upped their game in the style department. Well done timex
I love the Snoopy Waterbury or Marlin automatic. I do have a lot of Quartz Timex watches, 4 in all and 2 from the 70's. I love the brand and great to see them making good products again.
the most enthusiastic "hello" on you tube - Timex my 1st ever watch and on the way back
Man, I look at this watch and suddenly it's the late 60s and I'm rooting around in my dad's bedside table looking for some Certs (a breath mint that was popular among smokers back then) and seeing my dad's watch in his bedside butler.
This is a classic!
Been waiting for someone to review this.
Yum!
Nothing better than a cushion with a slippy bezeled quartz.
Great review, love this one, bargain for sure.
love the case...love the branding of timex too. Looks great on the leather for me...
The quality of your videos Jody keep getting better and better. We appreciate all you do for the channel and us fellow watch lovers. Cheers from Canada
Thanks for watching the channel Jack!
Great review as always! Love the size, case, and classic baton details on this one. I have a watch that came with a similar butterfly bracelet and was seriously unhappy about the lack of adjustment - but ordered a Strapcode “Push Button Diver’s Clasp” and it fits perfectly, adding 3 micro adjust holes. It *should* work for any bracelet as long as the width is the same.
If they do an automatic version of this like they did for the Q then I'm definitely going to pick one up.
Look at the Citizen NJ0100-89A if you are impatient and don't want to wait for Timex to produce an Automatic. Also, comparably priced. I got mine for about $130 USD.
Most of Timex automatics are insanely expensive.
Hmt has a same looking watch with mechanical hand wounded mechanism.
I think Timex is really making headway here. For the price, it's a beauty. I waited ages to get the Q and when it arrived, I was disappointed and as such, I ended up returning it. It just seemed a bit flimsy at 180 USD, Now I see you can get them in every color of the rainbow. Had it been priced the same as this one, I would have been happy with it. To be honest, I prefer the look of this one. Their T80 Retro digitals are pretty nice as well at 60 USD
HA! Now that's a very cool Timex. Gotta say the black one looks very cool, too!
Love the work Timex is putting in to these! I'd love to see them do more automatics tho!
Disappointing that they didn't throw some indiglo in there.
Yeah. It's my favorite "lume" in the industry. They really passed up a chance. Looks like a good watch, all in all, though.
Thinking the same thing.
Indiglo requires that the dial be translucent, i.e. some kind of plastic. This sunburst steel dial is very classy and reminds me of vintage watches. I think they made the right call.
Thanks for the review Jody. I Think my Automatic Guanqin GJ16034 kind of fills this space well enough already.
Nice watch Seiko looking... But Absence of Crystal Sapphire is a deal breaker for me! Great Review!
Yah!!!!!! Thank you for the review!! Mine arrives tomorrow don't tell my Wife 😆🙈
Good review video. I am wearing the Timex automatic Marlin called the Liquor Store Watch. It has a beauty of a domed acrylic crystal, 38mm wide and a Miyota movement. Looks like it came from 1960. Cheers
You can get a Tissot quartz Chronometer on a solid metal bracelet (with microadjust) for $150 on Jomashop. It is similar in size to this Timex and has sapphire crystal.
Hanowa do some nice sapphire quartz at this price too
You can get a full automatic Swiss made with eta 2824 and sapphire on jomashop for $150 too... it’s just a Calvin Klein
That's a pretty watch Jody-
Love the Milan Style, understated.
I really think quartz gets a bum rap! They are just as well made, they are very accurate, and they are less hassle. I enjoy my quartz collection as much as I do my automatics. I have worn Timex watches for over 60 years, and they always perform well. This is a good looking everyday wear watch. I wouldn’t be embarrassed wearing it anywhere, anytime! Great review as always Jody!!! See you in the next one!
Timex has been on 🔥. Sure their quartz, mineral crystal and, low lume, but they're sub 40mm, timeless designs, and affordable. Way cooler than the cheap fashion watches we've seen for years!
Looks good. Iam saving for an OP 36mm white and this watch caught my eye!
Got a Timex Todd Snyder Beekman a couple weeks ago on clearance. Love it!
I love the look of this watch and for that price, and the durability of Timex, it's a no brainer!
face and bezel look clean. wonder what the gold face looks like in the sun? Quartz I love.
great video, fast intro, getting right to the point, excellent!
In a way, it's almost good that we here in Canada don't get access to discounted watch stores because I would be broke. This style speaks to me, but I wouldn't pay CAD $150 for one. $100 and it would've had a sale. Not sure if I would go with black or silver though.
Love it! This is the way I remember watches looking when I was a little kid.
Nice name bro
I like it, could be a good starter watch. I have the Marlin (both the vintage and the new), really recommend it!
Timex? Who would've thought! Nice looking watch though. Your nod to the Marlin had me straight onto the Timex site for a look (reminding me of my first 28mm Timex). Looking forward to the Marlin review, once you get one in.
I agree with you Jody. I love Seiko 5, but I find that they are really variable in terms of keeping good time. I got a Marlin winding when was on deep sale - $99 - and time is a little bit more reliable with that than seiko 5. But - it is a beauty. Truthfully, the Timex Weekenders I have keep the more reliable times.
It looked much better on the leather strap imo 👍The second hand seemed to line up with some of the indices but not with all of them.
I don't know if it's new lights or filmed when there was more sunshine, but the lighting looks fantastic in the intro.
love the chocobo shirt!
Very decent looking watch... Think a dark blue sunburst dial would look nice on this one.
Brands should stop making bracelets with no micro adjustment! Perhaps we sould start a movement 🤔
The watch itself is nice though n
I would love to see a comparison video for the "Chinese Special" versions of popular watches. For example, the watch you reviewed in "My Favourite $75 Pagani Design!" alongside similar watches from Cadisen, Parnis, etc.
I really dig the gold version, looks really good with that sunburst dial and not that expensive. Though I’d probably pay extra to get automatic. But quartz is fine for the price, with mechanical it can get tiresome if you only want to wear a watch for a day and you have to set it all over again...
I bought this one a year ago for just under $90 and I am generally quite happy with it. Like you, I found myself wanting an included half-link (even left a review on the Timex site saying as much) and wearing it a little loose, but then I lost some weight, removed another link and it fits like a dream. A slightly larger date with a beveled or framed window would be nice. The crown on mine is a little mushy and it can be a task to find first position to use the quick set date. I don’t think Timex puts sapphire crystals in even their most expensive watches, so it’s no surprise that this one doesn’t have one. Overall, very nice.
name of the watch please
Hey Jody, i was wondering if you could take a look at the Allied Three GMT watch from Timex, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it as it's an affordable GMT from Timex that was sadly discontinued not long ago but it's still obtainable.
This really is a nice looking watch...too bad about the bracelet. Thank you for another excellent review Jody 😊👍
Thanks Jeffrey!
You should make a video on Lesablier watches, specifically the sports classic model, it looks really interesting
Timex is really killing it with great affordable watches lately. Perfect to grab one of these instead of winding and setting one of my 20 autos I dont keep running.
Yeah, as a newbie and now at watch collecting, I learned after a couple of months nothing but quartz for me. I gave my two mechanical watches away. Don't want to deal with the start and stop and worry to see if it is going to work for the entire day, which I found it did not.
Holy retro Batman! Reminds me a great deal of my Grandfather's watch.
Very dope & simple watch!!
Love the vids! Have you ever shown your collection? I'd love to see your favorites from your collection, cheers!
Hey mate! Search for 'JOMW SOTC' I make an annual video. Cheers!
Jody! If you like this quartz timex, I suggest you look into the SEIKO SUR307 and SUR315 they are great watches with SARB035 dna. Also, they have sapphire crystals, solid links and under $130
Timex were the tough work watch when I was growing up. Then came the Casio digital and Scotland was never the same:-(
You did it to me again! Timex Milano on its way to me now. 🙄🙂
I know I think I have to join some sort of group. I am not placing my order and I just bought the Timex Bank Street right before I saw this video. Ugggg!!
Lovely size and good choice. Please also look at MK1 mechanical from Timex.
Hmmm well this is a nice little beaut!!! I’ve been splurging out on Timex recently!!!!! Best budget field watch is a show coming up !!!!!!;)
clean design :-)
Pretty watch, agreed. I have couple of Timex watches and they work perfect.
White dial, simple layout. That's nice.
I love it! 😊
Hello Jody, what about the Timex Legacy Day Date 41mm. I believe it has a Seiko movement and a Jubilee bracelet.
Very nice. And I am back still haven’t done a islander watch.
I had a chat with Marc about a review, but it didn't quite happen!
I was considering a Seiko SNK393 or similar. Then I saw this. I'm crossing my fingers for an automatic version with a screw on case back.
Such good proportions and I like them on a bracelet. I wear my watches above the bone, so exact fit is a must for me. WHat a shamethey skipped such an important detail of the bracelet.
I have a Citizen very similar to that. It is one of my favorite watches.
Jody is there any chance we can see a review of an all black/black bracelet upcoming? I love the classic silver tones as much as the next guy but outside of the dive watch market there are alot of attractive all blacks but they dont seem much in vogue; am I out of trend or is there just alot of junk not worth reviewing?
That Chocobo shirt though 👏🏻
I love how this watch looks, and it may very well be worth the price quality-wise.
But I just have difficulty paying $100+ for a *Timex* when, for a little less, the same, or a little more cabbage, I can have a Seiko, Citizen, Pulsar, Bertucci, etc. with better features and panache
its a really nice watch, I like that is it quartz
IT is a very nice looking watch - I just wish Timex took care of a few niggling issues - as you pointed out. This watch, regardless of price, will get compliments.
Wow. Spicy take. Love it.
I thought it did look good on the leather strap. Hey Timex - MORE Lume, please!
hi Jody, could you review one of those Rodina, Nomos Tangente homages? and review some other 6105 homages like steeldive and San Martin and do a comparison since they vary in price and quality. I like how detailed you are in evaluating the quality of watches and I'd love to get an opinion of an homage expert like you!
That watch is right up my street, apart from that date window mind you. I think quartz is perfect for a timex, takes a kickin keeps on tickin. I love a sunburst dial, as for it sitting low and lose maybe the gold version would suit that look better. Great content as always, love the inclusive content.. it’s all about the watches.. not the channel that says Omega JLC and Rolex are the best ever don’t by anything else.. then they hate on inexpensive watches until they get their hands on an exclusive new micro brand.. suddenly the £200 seiko movement watch is on par with the high end stuff just because of a paid review or free watch.
That Marlin in 34mm looks good!
Nice looking watch. The 2nd Timex I could be tempted to buy (the other being the pacman)
The second hand rarely hits the indexes straight on. I realize it's a $99 watch, but that would drive me friggin' nuts.
Have you reviewed any of spinnaker watches
I do like this mate, great for more formal wear👌
I fully support Timex upping their game, but I have to wonder who's their intended buyer and what retail outlets they're going to use? I don't see Walmart or Target shoppers paying $100 for a watch, even with the Timex logo on it. Do they expect jewelers to make room in their display cases for a $100 quartz Timex? And their competition on Amazon in the $100 range is stiff. You can get an Invicta Pro Diver for less or a Citizen Eco Drive for $20 more. And compared to Chinese watches like Pagani Design the Timex has nothing to offer other than the brand name. So while I like the watch I don't see it being a marketing success in that price range. At $50 maybe? but then it has to compete with the likes of the Casio Duro. I just don't see this being the success that the Q was.
Jody, have you ever looked at Feice on the channel? I'm interested in their Bauhaus on a budget and would love to hear your thoughts on the brand.
How loud does it tick though? Quartz Timexes are usually pretty loud in my experience
That seconds marker hitting the index on the dial would drive me bonkers....
F*** me !! A seconds Hand that hits almost perfectly on a 100 bucks watch? Either you have been very lucky or this is a Grand Seiko contender 😁😂
Hey awesome videos! Have you ever considered reviewing the new seiko alpinists?
Yes Luke, I've considered buying one also..... Maybe before year end. Cheers!
@@JustOneMoreWatch Waiting for the prices to get a bit more adequate, no? :D
Nice shirt!
I’ve swam a lot with my timex mk1 30m wr. No problems
Would have loved to see this next to a Seiko 5 SNXS73.
For some reason I'm getting notifications for your vids days after you post them :(
winner on the leather!... anyone else think GS when they look at that clasp?
Handsome watch. Kudos to you for reviewing a quartz watch. We all love our automatics; but there is something nice about seeing the second hand tick. I recently purchased a Timex Navi Harbor on a whim and have almost forgotten what a quartz movement looks like. I must say there is something appealing about them.
This Milano is a beauty and I really like the white dial. They are Out of Stock here in the States. Bummer, I might have squeezed the trigger on that one for the price. Keep up the great work on reviewing affordable watches. Seeing all these videos on Rolexes, Omegas and Pateks makes me feel a little sad.
It's a nice watch, but I think a Casio BEM-111D is a better choice with sapphire crystal. I bought one with 2 year warranty under 60 euro (around 70 USD) and I didn't regret it.
