    Thanks for watching guys. I'm getting most of these watches in for review so please don't forget to like and subscribe so you are alerted when those videos are live. The first one coming in is the mechanical in 38 mm. Thanks again

      Because Timex watches are inexpensive people think that means they're of poor quality but truth is Timex are some of the best watches you can buy and they don't cost a fortune either .

      Seagull movement though? Why use chinese knockoffs when hamilton is not that much more expensive and is definitely a better package in everything from movement to watch construction?

      @@MaximDomnitskyi Khaki Field is on my list and I hope I'm gonna get it this Black Friday. The 36mm is only Solar Powered, not mechanical but the main reason I like it is the size. I love the 36mm diameter and this watch, having a solar powered quartz movement, sapphire crystal with AR coating, screw down crown and a nice price point makes it perfect for me. Also, Timex is my favorite watch brand, even if it makes cheap watches, so that's also a big factor.
      But I definitely agree with you, Hamilton is a better package overall and the price is also good. But Timex makes great watches too and they have a lot of history. Definitely not Chinese knockoffs.
      The military field watch dial is standardized, just like the flieger one, so you can't actually say that it's a knock off. Both the Hamilton Khaki Field and Timex MK1(it didn't had this name back then) were issued in the army a lot of years ago.

  • @caomhan84
    @caomhan84 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Okay, mine just arrived in the mail. The North post mechanical. It is indeed a giant step up for Timex. The case is nice and solid. Definitely thicker than the Hamilton. The dial (I got the blue one) reminds me a lot of Seiko 5. It kind of makes me wish that I had gotten the white one instead. But other than the usual Timex short hands syndrome, I can't find anything to complain about. It's a nice navy blue that looks good in the sunlight, the hands and the case are sand blasted finish. There's a good heft and solidity to it. The strap is the same as what they've been putting on the Marlin automatics. I could take it or leave it, but it's not trash. The winding is pretty smooth. The ticking is not loud. I'm pretty darn impressed for the price. They did not skimp on this....it has a real, quality feel. They came to play and this is a serious contender for people who want a manual wind field watch but don't want to pay Hamilton prices.

    The Time/Tide model it looks like they re-used an old Intelligent Quartz movement. Nice to see they're keeping some of these alive, I have a compass/chrono IQ from 2013 and it's a nice model.. The field watches really look nice, they all have that Hamilton Khaki vibe for a lot less coin. I hope they do the 36mm in blue eventually.

    Yes I love this. I have the Field Expedition watch and it's a workhorse. I just dropped a drill on it and it's still going strong 3 years in. The case looks well for how much I beat it up working and living.
    One thing that was missing was the crystal. And it's also AR Sapphire? Great price. I may wait and get one on sale.
    To people talking about Hamilton...meh I love both. Also Hamilton isn't solar and doesn't come in these colors. Also Hamilton isn't that cheap. I think the solar is the way to go.

  • @jerryglasses2229
    @jerryglasses2229 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very good move for Timex. 38mm is my favorite size and sapphire! And $230 is a very good price. I think this is Timex taking aim at the new Seiko5 field watches and of course the iconic Khaki. I think for the same price as the Seiko you get Sapphire so a no brainer for me. I'm not sure an ETA is worth the extra $100 or so for the Khaki

    • @caomhan84
      @caomhan84 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It really depends. If you like the aura of Swiss made and 80 hours of power reserve is worth it to you, then yes. But honestly these Chinese seagull movements are perfectly fine. I've got a couple of them in hand wound Marlins and they're fine. I have no complaints. Plus these new Timexes are giving you AR coating on the sapphire and 100 m of water resistance, which the Hamilton doesn't give you. This is a direct shot at Hamilton. They've been so comfortable in this space because they've had no competition, they probably won't be too bothered. At least for a while. It'll be interesting to see if Timex eats into their sales of the Khaki Mechanical and in a year or so, we'll see the price coming down on that watch across the board.

    Love the sapphire crystals. The mechanical was easy for me over a Hamilton or Bulova field, though I hear the movement is cheaper. But nice mechanical slim, sapphire, found it to be a better white dial.
    Personally I don't trust their solar, they are stepping up, but in terms of longevity I trust Casio and Citizen more.
    The other expedition looks interesting, they have done interesting intelligent quartz watches before. But similar to solar I think Casio and Citizen offers a better product for still less cost.
    Casio and Citizen offerings are not sapphire but definitely more rugged and practical. Would have to see how the expedition ride/compass holds up.

    I’ve been looking to add a tool-grade field watch to my collection. I like the bigger cases too, and am a big fan of solar watches and automatics. I’m a glass snob, so the sapphire really makes me happy.
    Now… which one to pick? Lol

    That mechanical version would be an awesome watch if it wasn’t for the Chinese movement.
    A Japanese movement couldn’t possibly have cost that much more. I don’t understand why companies do that. Such a shame.
    Timex has so much heritage, if they came out with a line of really nice watches in the $400 range they would sell like crazy.

    Hope the solar ones lack the loud tick of the usual quartz used by Timex. It's the only down side of the brand until now. Cheap, cheap but it shouldn't wake you up in the middle of the night 😉

    Sapphire might shatter.
    Acrylic is mir a durable adventure lens. The Rolex were legendary tool watches when they were acrylic lenses before 1984.
