This Timex is a very handsome watch indeed. As a watch enthusiast, it is so refreshing to see more affordable, great design watches featured. Great video!
I have the same one , I really love it, some people complain about the Q, I like it , it gives it character. I replaced the metal band with an old Seiko metal band from the 70’s, it fits it perfectly and I have micro adjustments 😊
@@Le_Bicar it’s acrylic, so it probably does, however I am one of those people who take really good care of their things , so I am always weary of potential scratch threats to my watches, so I always play it safe and avoid potential situations that might scratch the glass. So far I don’t have any scratches on it. If you scratch it it can always be buffed out
This is why I have a yt channel! I don't prefer anything I just like watches! And if I like it I will get super excited! Thanks for watching and commenting!
It's a very nice watch. Yes, it's not a true mecaquartz like the Seiko VK63 which has the clickiness and the flyback function. This Timex is very nice indeed, definitely great value. I'd buy one! This would also look great on a black/grey striped NATO.
Love the look of this watch. Downside for me is the fact it seems rather heavy on my wrist. Q at 12 o'clock would not have been my decision but it doesn't bother me either. No regrets on the purchase.
Came for the Q Chrono, but stayed for the P39 lol Any chance you could do a review on the P39 and some comparison pics with the Q GMT? That is one of my best fitting watches and it'd be interesting to see how the P39 fits in comparison, especially with the rubber.
Ok so here’s What I think: - The chronograph movement is crappy just like a timed weekender. No click feeling when pressing the button . - the bracelet is rattly and thin , definitely doesn’t match the thickness of the watch, and better to find a more solid and thicker aftermarket bracelet. What are your thoughts about that ?
I totally agree with you, the feeling of the bracelet is not half bad, yes the thickness of the watch does not match the thickness of the bracelet. i still yet have to investigate more about the movement ... but i think is not gonna be good. this being said is a nice fun watch this is not that expensive and the loooks are sooo good .. really i think timex has gone with the right look of the q line.
I really like so much about this design, and from Timex's Q line in general. Unfortunately this falls into the same trap that so many quartz and mechaquartz chronos have done in recent years: the completely unnecessary and largely unwanted 24-hour dial.
what? its all stainless steel brush and pulished their is no chrome plated what are yo u talking about? And yes there are lots of microbrands that do greater jobs than this ...
Watch is ruined in the "ali express" design fashion: - that dreadful "Q" on 12 is a standalone Disaster; - that chrono sweep; - that squeezed in and unnecessary date window on §" position; HOW. How one can call it "amazing"? (only in the sarcastic sense, I believe)
i guess i was talking design perspective, love how the watch looks. is not the best chorno out ther for sure .. but is a nice one and the looks of it are increible
Elitists like you take the joy out of watch collecting. This Timex is a beautiful piece, might not have the best movement & the chrono sweep might not be the best, but for the price? I think it's more than okay. Better options in micro brands, yes I agree. But not everyone can get their hands on good micro brands, geography matters.

I love everything on this except the big Q at the 12 o clock marker.
I like it, it’s Qool.
Oh my god, me too man.
@@gipgap4yeah it is Qool
Good think it blends into the black not very noticeable

which Seiko band did you replace it with?

Hello, does the glass get scratched easily? Thx

Watch looks great! It’s very high on my next buy list. It’s between the Timex Q and Tissot PRX.
uuuu that is tough but! it think the prx is just an incredible good looking watch!

I have the Q TIMEX gold GMT. I love it and I’m really sold on the Q TIMEX series. Excellent video.

I could seem heavy but is a breeze to wear
Cool watch but it should have a 1/5 second scale to really take advantage from the sweeping seconds hands instead of just being a good looking feature
That chrono sweep😮💨
It's nice to watch that sweep
Was expecting a quartz tick!
@@lordbogus6709 it’s a mecha quartz and that’s just the tachymeter. You don’t leave that running
@@multipl3 Planning to get this, does the watch get damaged if I leave it running?
Incredible looking watch❤
It IS!!! One of my most complemented watch
I'm sold that is a beautiful watch I will definitely add too my collection. I will get the gmt as well it's beautiful also nice review.

Most of the time im team panda but reverse on that bracelet looks wayy to good!!!

Check out a micro brand called "About Vintage" they have a similar watch called 1960
Been waiting for this video!
Glad I can help! Thanks for the comment! Enjoy!
Great video. How do you align the cronograph second hand?
If it were a Rolex nobody would complain about the crown at 12…sheesh guys loosen up!
Just got this watch - absolutely love it. Wish it had micro adjustments but deff worth rest in the collection
And by crown you mean logo.
Love the looks and function of this watch. But the luminous display makes it a failure for me.
Yeah they should update the standards just a little bit and they would be the perfect watches imho
For a moment I thought I was watching a Theo and Harris review. Body double ?

I like the 24-hour dial. 😕
I bought it today and i´m courious about this "mimic" Meca Qaurtz, cousa love it. I'd like more informations about. Tks!
Price shall be the ultimate deciding factor.
it is 300 ish dlls 310
@@AndySTWT that makes it tough to go up against a Dan Henry.
Hi What watch we’re you wearing at the beginning with the rubber strap?
that would be the tudor pelagos 39 sir
How big is your wrist? I'm asking beacuse I want to buy it and I'd love to know if it will fit on my wrist
No worries 6.7 inch wrist 17cm
@@AndySTWT Okay, thanks. I hope it would fit nearly 6.5 inch
just curious, what is your wrist measurement?
6.7 inch wrist my friend
Whats your wrist size?
Sir where did you bought that beautiful chrono watch?
I am tempting to buy one..
And how much?
i bought it though the timex website! and it cost 310 dlls
From other dealers it is less than £200
@@cosmodoc wow.
I'm considering getting one for a "beater" watch...
This could be a cool beater indeed
Are you able to change the straps on this watch??
Yes and it has quick strap change
Great review... I learned a lot... 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful!
What's your wrist size bro ?
6.7 inches mate!!!
Look similar to the moonwatch👍
the cool thing is that is better than the MOONSWATCH and almost the same price
The answer to your question from the title is: No, there is an even better one from Timex: the ‘Heritage Waterbury Chronograph’ TW2V42400.
uuu im gonna check it out!
thanks for the comment!
I got one and i'm loving it!
I bought one and completely hated it. Wore it once
Sorry to hear that! pass it on!
If it had a 12 hour totalizer instead of that dumb 24 hr. subdial it would be an instabuy.
A 24 hour does tell you if the time and date were set properly.
The 4:30 Date Window is a big thumbs down
Ghost date > date
When you mentioned the plastic glass, I'll pass on this one.
Pity there's no Indiglo
shame it is not available here in india
thats a shame my man!
Get rid of the big _ss Q, and date window!
😂 big_ss Q hahaha agreed but still beautiful
Cheap rubbish. It’s chrome plated. Loads of better micro brands that use the same movement
what? its all stainless steel brush and pulished their is no chrome plated what are yo u talking about? And yes there are lots of microbrands that do greater jobs than this ...
