I sort of like Seiko, Casio, and Citizen, Alba, Orient in the lower price range.

Nothing wrong with Timex, but, a little more value in some of the other brands.

I have no problem with Timex. Wish I still had the Timex watches I wore as a kid, in the sixties. Some of the new watches seem good for the price.

Originally, I was a bit "meh" about a $29 easy reader I purchased last December. After switching it to a Timex weekender strap (the original came with an expandable band), the watch felt a bit improved, but it still felt like it was missing some type of character I like in my watches, if that makes any sense. So the watch fell out of rotation for a few months, and I decided that trying to resell it on the 'bay just wouldn't be worth the hassle...

But wow, after placing it on a proper Bond NATO strap, the watch really has come to life on my wrist! Sure, it's nothing TOO exciting, but hey, it works! Maybe the colors just work together here, maybe NATO straps just give watches that extra "edge" that gives them an interesting character, I don't know. All I do know is that the combo worked! Not bad for a low cost quartz...

Watch is a T20461 Easy Reader. Strap is a Crown & Buckle Bond NATO strap, 18mm.

I was impressed enough to order a weekender sport model with an amazon gift card I received...it should be here sometime early next week. Anyone have that particular model? Weekender with the tachymeter?

Any one here have experience with the Timex Atlantis series? I'm looking for a digital beater watch, and this watch caught my eye:

This weekend I lay down to take a little nap while wearing my randomly inaccurate Timex. I was listening to the comforting ticking as I started to drift off. Tick.. Tick.. Tick.. ..! Tick.. Tick.. Wait a minute! Did I imagine that?

Nope, it seems that sometimes, and in certain positions, the watch forgets to tick for a second or three. The indigo backlight is as bright as it's ever been so I don't think it's a weak battery. It lost 15 minutes that day.

Any suggestions? I'm quite sure I didn't bother keeping the receipt (ordered in online from Sears anyway). Should I just toss it?

The Star Trek watch I remember! I used to have it as a kid. I wonder what happened to it

Do all newish Timex quartz have the rather loud ticking, or is it mainly the brass-case, under $40 variety? I rather like many of their offerings on looks, but theyare toooo loud for me. How about the Q, IQ, and others?

I just bought a resin Expedition and it's a ticker. After a week, it is spot-on.

I don't have this but a good friend of mine does....he has been wearing ti for over a year with no complaints

 

[stockae92]

My new Timex for a long time, and a good one too. I find myself wearing this one often around the house or in the gym.

 

[scooby]

My first Timex since I was a kid. I'm very happy with it!

 

[Redcrow]

Here's a crappy shot of a real nice looking Timex. Honestly, if I could only have one watch for the rest of my life it might be this one.

Timex Ironman Triathlon from 1999

All metal case construction with metal side pushers and screw caseback. Functionally it's a bit clumsy, but it works and keeps excellent time (gains about +3 sec/mo). I wish Timex still made an all metal version of the Ironman. I'd love to swap in a more modern module, but the lack of a 4th side button makes that impossible.

 

[sixtysix]

I just had this one on the work bench 1972 handwind....

And I forgot this one in the last post I made...

Still no dedicated TIMEX forum???!!!

I think there should really be a dedicated forum for timex as it is a brand that has some really great watches with some really special characteristics. Both on digital and analog watches.

Apart from this, more than enough users have bought tens of them and tested them for years now and are satisfied, something that prooves its reliable and trustful.

Not to mention that timex can take a lickin and keeps on tickin!!!

Once again my timex choice:

We used to have one, but very little got posted there. They merged that forum into this one. I actually like this better.......suits my style more than just a Timex forum would.
