I really didn't need another $300 watch with a Miyota in it. Nothing wrong with Miyota: I've just already got a couple of them. However, I ordered this watch a couple of days ago because I just cannot believe it's a TIMEX. It's a cool looking original design, doesn't look remotely like anything else, as well as being a repairable automatic, well it's just the complete opposite of everything I associate with the brand, other than being affordable which it is. I think this is one that deserves to be in a collection, if only for the novelty and originality. I'm actually kind of excited about it.
Ben…is that you??
Glad I found your other channel, mate!! Nice review - that’s a beautiful Timex.
Right!! That's exactly what I thought! He sounds EXACTLY like Ben lol
Haha yes this is me
I thought the same thing lol and where’s the rest of video I wanna see second watch
thats exactly what i thought when i heard the voice and review style @@BensWatchClub
ok then that's a subscribe @@BensWatchClub
I just hope TImex don't go jacking up the prices like Seiko.
At first glance if looks cool. But I'd say the Bulova Aerojet and the Orient look nicer
I have Bulova buy Timex. It is a privately held company and they care about quality and price. I think you mistake the range of products they offer. First company to illuminate the watch face.
I really like what Timex are doing lately. This watch is absolutely on the money. I think they are reading the market perfectly. With phones and smartwatches, many people don't want a watch at all - those that do, want a nice one - and Timex are giving us what we want. The Q range, and the Waterbury's, at very reasonable prices are really cool, and for those who want a hand-wind or auto, the Marlins and Galli and this are definitely worth a look. I notice UK entry level brand Accurist are also doing some automatics - aiming at the enthusiast rather than the casual supermarket buyer.
I like it a lot. This is one that you'd feel good about on the wrist every day. I'd like to see if they come out with any different color schemes. $289 isn't bad, but for where I'm at financially I couldn't justify that current day.
How is an acryic crystal supposed to protect against scratches and scruffs when it takes over the bezel's job? Should have been sapphire if they wanted to go this route.
Polywatch willl touch her up nice if needed. If you do scratch her bad..it's a $10 crystal
Acrylic is used for aesthetic purposes instead of functionality as it captures the vintage look watches had many decades ago. It WILL scratch and scuff, it is what it is. Have a tube of polywatch handy at all times.
Agreed, timex are a joke when it comes to pricing! You can get SO much more for your money elsewhere.. wouldn’t waste my money that’s for sure! Even Aragon have a sale and you can get twice the watch this is for half the price 😂
@@D3ZG1978 Aragon...LOL. Poor mans Invicta. ANd that's saying something. Timex has been killing it lately and it's a brand with actual heritage.
@@icas80 haha in your opinion and much better specs than this garbage. Timex is a poor man’s every watch!
I think it's really good looking, and the curved crystal is a nice gimmick I guess. What I don't like about it is that subdial with a 24-hour indicator. Seems useless to me. Why do that and not a sub-seconds?
It's not a chronograph! The subdial on this one is set to 24 hours just to show night and day (aka military time).
@@DD-ix3bm I understand that. That's why I said I found it a bit useless.
Love this video format. Thanks Ben!
This watch is too expensive for me to justify purchasing, but I have 3 Timex watches I got used at a great price. I love Timex watches.
Timex has really been stepping up their designs lately, however 19mm lugs is just infuriating
At first glance it looks like it's missing a bezel. My second thought is that crystal is going to be a scratch magnet. I guess overall it looks semi-premium but not my thing. Also, not sure I trust Timex for its value proposition in general and its looks over substance ethos in its lower priced watches.
Love the look of this one. Really beautiful design.
that rotor is so smooth especially for the price point
Looks like a Patek Calatrava. And I own a Patek Aquanaut so I'm familiar with their design features. In short, I'm buying this watch STAT.
i like this bauhaus design, its like nomos but with less price
I have been looking at Timex in a different light lately , great presentation ! Keep up the great work !
Acrylic crystal, tasty.
This has a great look. You could swap that band with anything and it would still look great.
I like the glass, very nice finish dial and subdial, with date at 6 would have been even better, also a double brins fabric strap would have not add thickness. For me it's a may be purchase. Although I dislike the 19mm strap size, a real deal breaker to not be able to use my 20mm straps on it.
If I take it, buy a good leather, may be in gold brown, will add a third of the initial price to the all.
Can the 24 hour function reference a second time zone?
It’s not even done correctly either. “24” isn’t a time
@@friskjidjidoglu7415it is in military time.
Is this Ben's Watch Club?
من فضلك عندي ساعة pierpont ميكانيكية نسائية قديمة وهي بحالة جيدة وعندي ساعة Sndoz قديمة رجالية خدش بسيط بالميناء ولكنها تعمل بشكل جيد وساعة sirgint تعمل بشكل جيد اريد بيعهم وساعة ام صليب قديمة يلزمها اصلاح بسيط وايضا اريد بيعها
New channel from Ben! ❤ looking forward to next scam brand!
I'm planning on getting this watch. Is yours still working reliably?
The 'crystal' looks like a scratch magnet and yes it looks like the bezel fell off. It may be affordable compared to other watches but for a Timex it's overpriced.
Loved the watch, sold out, and can't locate anywhere except those selling on eBay from the UK trying to price gouge.
This watch speaks to me, from a design perspective. Also, I have a Myota 8 series in my Citizen Promaster and find it to be a reliable workhorse....it deserves a little love and not sure why the internet likes to bash the series.
Beautiful.. thank you for the detailed video. You just got a new subscriber
I have to agree that it looks like it's missing a divers or gmt bezel.
Not a huge fan of the sub dial
Great review, a good looking watch from Timex, not sure about the name that they use it as Marlin and do agree looks abit like missing bezel from the top but then when you show it on your wrist definately change my mind its beautiful.
If it had a saphire it would have been a instant buy ... sad
Im looking at this watch on the Timex website right now. I can't decide if the crystal looks cool or bizarre as the entire watch face looks like it's freestanding inside the dome.
if you like it, it's cool
if you don't, that's cool too
Ben? Ben's watch club? Why on this channel?
It's actually quite a good looking watch. Definitely something a little different.
I don't mind acrylic but in this case it's such a large piece and actually does the job of being the view piece and the bezel feels like it's inevitably going to be scratched a lot...that's a lot of poly watch you will need. But it does make it look cool. Although wait until Timex does the Chrono version of this watch aka the Timex Glassbox. :)
It does look good and unique at this price point, not too bad.
Seems to have been out of stock for a good while now
The case does look like a dive watch that has lost its bezel.
Don't see the point of the subdial. If they had to have it why not make it a small seconds?
They surely could have release a version with diffrent function as subdial. 24H subdial is fine in some places, Canada, further more Alaska or maybe Finland, Norway, all those place where sometime there is sunlight for 20 hours a day so it's useful to know if it's a.m or p.m.
I don't think you can set the sub dial to a different time zone. That would have been a great subtle feature.
Looks better than the Baltic
Good looking watch! That being said I think I'd have constant heart attacks that my bezel fell off haha
It’s called a perlon strap.
For everyone hating on acrylic crystals..... Vintage rolex's and Omega's use(d) acrylic crystals!
Can you move the sub dial hand independently? Like for GMT function?
Very lovely watch. I think given how prominent and exposed the glass is, I'd maybe prefer sapphire, since this thing is definitely, inevitably going to get scuffed. Also, while I absolutely love the texture of the woven band, I wish they offered a few other color options. Anyway, very tempted to save up for this, though I would rather see it closer to $200.
That's a VERY fragile looking watch, that'll most likely look like crap in about a week.
what WERE they thinking?
I don't like the curved crystal. This thing would be epic with a Rolex day date fluted bezel. Ditch the 24 hour marker to save costs and reduce complications.
What absolutely ridiculous is that is a fantastic looking watch. It’s as good looking as watches that cost 20/30 times the price. The design is fantastic.
The dimensions are right up my alley, but having "Marlin" on the dial, as well as the chapter ring(??) Please tell me its not on the crystal! Does look a bit overkill and crap!
The usual Timex offering; wildly overpriced for what it is, another exercise in corner-cutting and cash-grabbing.
Your voice sounds like Ben from Ben's watch club 🤔🤔🤔
I just scroll the video waiting for a couple ot besels to popup and ppl have to switch them easy but... For me looks unfinished
Love it!.. but just the watch coming out of position when opening the box oh no 😅... but apart from that,.. it is a lovely timepiece!
Well. The 24h sub dial would really make sense if it has date window, wouldn't it? It is handsome as it is, but imagine if there's no 24 subdials in this design.
I’ve got to say that’s gotta be the most handsome Timex watch I’ve seen from their recent crop of releases (reasonably priced too.)
Is this Ben’s watch club? What’s happening 😵💫
Looks Cool, love the strap..I live in the Philippines, im sure we dont have this yet. 😁
That dial reminded me of the Carl Suchy Waltz No. 1
Timex and their “coffin cases” …interesting watch though
hi ben, just curious why did u start this channel? u already have a few successful channel
Writing Marlin twice on the same side of the watch is pointless.
Looked good right up to the point where you mentioned acryllic crystal. Can't understand why watch companies still insist on using anything but sapphire crystal... deal breaker for me.
Ben? Is that you?
Exploring a gap in the market offered nothing new to the wearers
beautiful watch but can't buy in india anyone know how to get one of these in India?
Bens Watch Club?
I thought the same !
What on earth is the 24hr hand for, it has no date. As for the acrylic, they can shove it.
Only real negative is the lack of saphire crystal
What's that at the 9? A useless 24 hour dial. Pass.
Is it possible to put a leather strap on it afterwards?
The missing looking bezel though....
Is it Ben's watch club twin channel? 😅
how they dare to sent you the watch without the bezel 😅
Just looks to me like it's bezel has fallen off
Wrist size?
Nice review Ben 😃
very small
I'm loving the offset sub second hand.
A surprisingly nice looking watch.
Glassbox?
BEN?!?!?
OK 🎉❤
And what is on your wrist?
scrolling through comments: lot of people asking about the functionality of the sub-dial
is it purely for aesthetics or can you mark a separate time-zone ?
Seems to be just a standard 24 hour complication as far as I can tell, probably doesn't allow for anything like that I'd guess.
Nice except the crystal is easy to scratch.
Does it have a ghost date position ?
love your content buddy
Ben is that you?
What was going on with that seconds hand when you were setting the time!?? 😮
Not entirely sure, I will investigate for the review on BWC
Wow, that’s cool!
Such a beauty👌🏻
That's a very pretty watch
Looks great 👍
next level...❤
Nice watch
Any lume ?
Leave it to Timex to price $150 watch at $300 and give you a plastic crystal and a cheap strap. Great jobTimex
At $289, I’ll pass. I see a $100 watch, if that. Edit: after watching the vid again after Ben's response, perhaps I am being a bit too harsh. I understand these are Timex's premier models, but at the end of the day, it is still a Timex with a miyota movement. I suppose I am more interested in the cheap watches priced around $50 and under vs. their higher end models. I just can't justify spending that much on a Timex.
Fair enough. Personally I disagree, but each to their own. The watch does look better in person, I'll do a better job of the b-roll footage in the full review 👍
@@In_The_Loupe look forward to it; I noticed this watch when it first came out. Thinking about buying it, i know the case is stainless steel, but somehow it appears a bit plasticy on your camera, dont know why?
Ugly looking watch that looks half finished.
Walk away. Later you will understand
Looks good, if the small seconds were at 6 o'clock I feel it would be even better.
