Love my Timex Q. I purchased the one with Snoopy at the six position. I have a nice size Timex collection, but this is slowly turning into my everyday watch. I love the vintage look. Marlin hand wound is my 2nd favorite after the Q. I also love the fact that I don't have to go to the watch store to replace the battery. Why don't all quartz watches have this.
Nice genuine review... I thought about a video on the watch bad points but is more like a video preventing avarage moaning people from buying it and than complain about silly things... thanks dude!!
I have just bought the Silver Timex with a Black Face for £70 on Amazon. I like this Watch and I only buy Quartz Watches anyway ! I have some giant watches like my Bulova Precisionist with the Red and Black Face. This Timex Q is nice and Small but I won't be wearing it all the Time ! I like to Wear different Watches depending on how I feel, but I don't have any Mechanical Watches at all ! I am happy to change my own batteries in all my Watches
The second hand isn't even in line. Things like that annoy me. I like the root beer and there's a version with a green bezel too which is nice. But I think the price is a bit high for the quality. And, it's a Timex. You can pickup allsorts for the same price.
Your right timex q is not applicable for careless guy. Not a beater type but aesthetically this is good to wear on semi formal occassion and for me even on formal events i dont care what other people say that its a diver style which is not good on suit. Its how we carry our things as long as we are happy on it
I love Timex's history. This design is super cool and neat. But with Seiko doing vintage Reissues from the seiko 5 line, its a hard pass. I don't mind acrylic crystals at all and like the vintage feel to them. I wear my Seagul 1963 in a warehouse often. As long as you have good spatial awareness. Pretty easy to keep them protected. I'd totally buy one of these if they were an even $100.
Hey Chris I think any Seiko or orient have better specs than the Q... The Q is more of historical remake... They are charging a a hefty amount for them for what you getting...
It is a neat little watch but 100% wouldn't pay over retail thinking will see the Batman version soon with a automatic but for 175 bucks the Q is fine .
@@WatchChris Chris the Batman is coming I know that for a fact an actual saw the watch on a French website that leaked the watch this was a month ago an it had a automatic movement an will be priced around 225.00 dollars I contacted the website an asked if they would send me information in English an they did so Chris you now have inside information. 😁
Man, this review and "5 reasons" are just not very valid. This is simply too subjective and arbitrary to say that this , or any other watch with an established brand name is "not worth it". Based on what guideline or standard? When people view automatic watches as "better" because there is a real moving automatic mechanism, is that an objective value statement, or just perception of consumer? Both types of watches have a purpose to tell time, to be comfortable, to have some basic features. When we say that some watch is "worth more" it is the same as saying that another watch is "not worth it". The only way one could possibly say that some specific watch is worth it, or not worth it, is we know precisely how many dollars it took to make one and then calculate the markup above the manufacturing cost. But the things like the brand name also matter greatly. Not because they function better, but simply because there is history and acquired value associated with the brand we are willing to pay more. Of course there is quality that comes with it as well, but that is our expectation, not necessarily verifiable knowledge. But when we also criticize the features or lack thereof, or the design of the watch, that is just very objective.
Disagree on the bracelet, I would not call it "well-made." I would call it cool looking and vintage, but the wearability is rubbish. Switched mine to a timex silicon replacement and never looked back.
The main reason why you shouldn´t buy this watch is his movement. A tiny Seiko branded, wich you can buy on ebay here in Europe for arround 5 or 6 $. In China i supose you get it for the half of the price . So...paying that much makes absolute no sense at all. You basically will pay all those intermidiates in this "re-issue".
Hey Patrick unfortunately for some reason they do not. However there is a good amount of these on eBay from sellers who ship to Asia... Thanks for the comment.

The 1:1 copy reissue from the 1979model just does not make sense to me actually.... maybe its reserved for that very little niche market... If only they improved it with sapphire crystal or add that indiglo feature in its indices and numbers/dial. with that $179 price point... I would definitely consider. I was expecting that timex would make a smart watch homage using the 1979 Timex Q design cues.. since when it was first released, quartz tech was the epitome of its era. So why not a durable nifty smart watch for this era now? wireless charging to keep it slim or micro -usb port under that screw on battery cover..
Hey Rain that does make sense this was just an exact copy of the original... I believe when they come out with the Batman they will make improvements but they will prob also charge more.. but I do like the indiglo idea that would work great...
@@WatchChris I like the metal bracelet n lug/bezel design. Making reissues with no additional refinements/improvements.. just lowers the scarcity value of the first original model IMHO
I I seen Timex steel got the week Monday-sunday and date model Tw2T58900jt black dial on Amazon I'm not wasting my money for Timex automatic any of them price s wild in Canada looks cheap don't like some straps I feel Timex getting redicules and even there custom made to order and logo name no stainless steel options disappointed not much of selection very limited I like solar Timex expedition scout and Waterbury they could of put better crystal mineral or supphire glass better automatic getting cheap cheap cheap
I saw this when it was announced before I knew much about watches. I was very into the Casio A168 and the C53W etc. those watches are appropriately priced. Timex has been doing too much cocaine and said to their drinking buddy “What if we reintroduced an old watch that no one really cares about? Not only that, let’s sell it for $200! Also, we could make some automatic watches and use basic Miyota movements but charge money that you could get a better watch for.”
A £30 watch is probably made of Chromed Copper, with No Day and Date, and it Won't have a Special Battery Screw Cover either ! The Timex Q is Stainless Steel with the Day and Date with a Coin Opening Battery Compartment ! I bought the Timex Q because I liked the Look of it ! Not because I wanted a Cheap Watch !
This design is priceless,. And it's timex. This is a good purchase for a collector
This video convinced me that I need to buy this watch
Dude, I wear mine every day. I like the scratches. Plus, like you said, easily polished.

you read my mind, correct!
I own an Orient Bambino and i still plan on getting this in the copper colour.
The rose gold is good looking as hell mate!!!
Watches are meant to be worn and scratched up gives the watch character enjoy your watches 💪💪💪
Yesterday I bought a brandnew "Falcon Eye" for 82€ !
It's a good price for a "Q" reissue.

Watching this video after 5 years. Ordered mine today. Just for 70 dollars. 😁
I paid 179 to start my collection.😊

Helpful and earnest review. Thank you.
This guy says, "I bought this watch, I love it." But here are 5 reasons why you should NOT buy this watch.
Well I bought a Silver Timex Q with a Black Face and I like it ! It is small and Fragile, not like my Bulova Divers Watch that is built like a Tank !
Dec 2022 here, brought It for 89€ with rubber blue strap
I just paid $180 for the blue dial Orient Kamasu on Cyber Monday. Much better specs and build quality than the Timex Q.
Hey Chris I think any Seiko or orient have better specs than the Q... The Q is more of historical remake... They are charging a a hefty amount for them for what you getting...
@@WatchChris completely agree. Thanks for your video!
This watch is in sale in India under $95, should I go for it ?
Now it's over rated bro around 13k
I picked it up for 40 and I’m sooooooo happy
where was that?
How does this compare to the vintage?
It is a neat little watch but 100% wouldn't pay over retail thinking will see the Batman version soon with a automatic but for 175 bucks the Q is fine .
I will definitely get the Batman version Timex teased something on Instagram today hope it's a new Q... We will see...

Just ordered this for 85$.
Don’t Vostoks and G Shocks have acrylic crystals?

$179 is too much for this. You're paying for scarcity and hype.

I don't think a heritage watch company would suddenly invest in technology to create a smartwach. Leave that to the tech giants.
Look at the indexing of the second hand, not sure I could live with that.....
I can't see past it
