Learning About Railroad-Approved Watches with a Cheap Timex Watch

Timex Easy Reader 35mm with Expansion Band Review
Is this Timex Easy Reader 35mm the cheapest Railroad-Approved watch?
Went back to railroad history, the beginnings of American timepiece manufacturing, and the origins of World Standard Time to trace the roots of the Railroad-Approved Watch Dial.

I’ve had a Timex Easy Reader for over 10 years, I still like it but I wish they had a model option with a less noisy movement, the ticking sound is so loud

[@wristrants]

The ticking don't bother me. But yes, wish they did something to fix that. Hope you liked the video and perhaps consider subscribing.

Hello, good video. Do you know where I can buy the watch at the start of the video? I only seem to find the one with the metal strap.

Oh, it's the same watch. I just swapped out the band. Really glad you liked it. Please consider subscribing to the channel. Thank you.
