Because I have a young family and money is tight, I've had to sell off my more expensive watches and have decided that to satisfy my watch addiction for the next few years I'm going to rely on Timex watches. I've already got a few but I'm going to continue to build my collection.
I've really found some sharp looking pieces out there and wondered if no one on here has much love for Timex?
Surely in this forum folks could share some of their Timex watches? I know there used to be a dedicated Timex forum but it got dissolved into this forum so are there still Timex collectors out there?

LOL I got paid today, so I think I'm gonna hit the local Time Factory

Timexes and Casios are a good way to scratch that itch without feeling too guilty about it after.

Just one Timex, it's my bedtime watch since it's so easy to forget I have it on. Oh, and the indiglo, too. It used to be my daily wearer for a year or two a while back and it served me well.

The Timex Ironman Triathlon watch is one of the top sports watches of all time! I've had one for almost 20 years.

Just in case anyone is interested, Shnoop has 5 Timex Acquas for $19.99 + S/H.

Anyone know anything about Acquas?

I would buy more Timex watches but they are not big enough for me. I like my watches between 36mm and 46mm. Since I am also on a square watch kick at the moment I don't really want any Timex watches. i love their autos though.

Timex has always made a nice watch in my opinion. My grandfathers vintage auto is what spurred my interest into collecting! If it wasnt for that, I probably wouldnt have so many damn watches! That being said, i own 5. One vintage auto, two new autos, and two "T" seies three hand models.

This one looks "too crowded" for my taste but nonetheless, it's a mean looking watch!

I've never own a Timex before but after I saw the pictures here, I might gonna get one myself!! :think:

I'd consider my brief stint with Timex to be the most serious lapse in judgement I've ever made.

I am now considering them due to haveing to watch my budget more. I have recntly seen some very good values at Target and Walmart. IT seems that Timex has certain models sold only at certain stores. :-!

I still own an Ironman... had it since I was about 12, can't believe it still works. All it's taken is battery changes.

Where are the automatic movements made? Are they Chinese? What kind of accuracy are they capable of?

Made in China, and very well made, especially since Timex has good QC.
Accuracy, I think, is around -20s to +40s a day.

I have 76 watches, some fairly expensive, but my favorite is a Timex expedition chrono alarm

The case is ion coated, and very thick, so it is cool black b-) and very durable. $45 on sale at Wal Mart, but this thing has the fit and finish of a $600 dollar watch.

I have 7 Timex watches, and I'm looking for a certain model vintage 21j right now. I have had a lot of problems with the old unjewelled movements, but I think the 21j versions are indestructible, and they make some of the nicest quartz mov'ts around.

Is there no love for Timex?
I think there's a lot here;-)
