It's been said numerous times in many reviews, but this is 100% the best bang for your buck when it comes to this field watch. Keeps solid time, the build quality and materials used are fantastic, if you look for a higher end watch brand for something that is equal to what this watch has, you will be spending WELL over $1K+. I own a Hamilton Khaki field watch (manual wind), which I do love, but I wanted something that was mechanical/automatic, durable, keeps decent time, and has great water resistance (versus the Hamilton's measly "50M" water resistance and doesn't even have a anti-reflective layer on the glass). This watch hits all 4 on the head. I own a great variety of watches, from Hamilton, Seiko, Citizen, to G-Shock's and a few retro mechanical watches, and now my first Timex. G-Shock has been my go to for a daily beater/work watch (currently in the military) and something I can wear in wet environments or even swim in as there was not many field watch options (minus the expensive ones) I would feel comfortable wearing in a lake, river or ocean, let alone wear in heavy rain or have on in the shower. Again, the titanium case, sapphire glass with an anti-reflective layer, movement that has hacking, lume, watch strap, all are worth every penny in this price point. I changed the strap right away as I have always been a fan of NATO straps so that is what I have on it now but the one that came with it was comfortable. I have heard and kept an eye on Timex but there really wasn't anything that stuck out to me so I never bought into the brand, but once this came out and finally got it in my hands, I am glad I kept tabs on them as this is everything I have been looking for in a field watch. Some review's I have read say the rotor is loud, which compared to higher end movements, yes it is but it doesn't bother me any. The other issues I read were about quality control and time keeping issues. I hope that those have been worked out as I have not had any of those issues and as far as time keeping goes, after 7-8 days go by I usually gain between roughly 10-20+ seconds, which, again at this price point is fine and totally manageable. I adjust my watch weekly anyway with the online atomic clock or with one of my multi band 6 G-shocks. I will drop an update 6ish months down the road or sooner if something catastrophic happens to where I would remove my recommendation for this time piece. All in all, if you're looking for a do it all solid field watch, just buy it, you are definitely getting more for what you're paying (I paid $220).

I read a lot of other reviews first, and this watch is nicer than I thought it would be. For 220 bucks, it's a STEAL. Some things to note: the auto-wind is no louder than my Seiko 5. I do hear it, but the strap is actually noisier - the leather creaks a bit where the strap loops are. This doesn't bother me and is no different than any other background noise. It's lightweight - a little lighter than the Seiko in the photo but not by much. Lume is good - a little better than the Seiko. BPM is a little less than the Seiko, so the sweep is not quite as smooth, but it's close enough. Aesthetically I like it a lot. The textured dial and raised hour markers look nice and are easy to read, and the grey Ti is sweet. Power reserve is meh - not great; not terrible. Seems like 36 hours or so. Lastly this watch with the stock strap will fit a huge range of wrist sizes. 6in (or maybe less) up to about 8, based on my measurement.

I really like the look of this watch, it’s good blend of modern adventure and a vintage field watch. It is thick, not heavy or noticeable being titanium but it’s beefy compared to others watches it compared to. Fit and finish is great. I thought titanium would show more wear, it’s holding up well. I really like the textured face and the lume is great too. I thought it looked better with a nato strap but the stock strap was comfortable. I don’t know what normal is but compared to a NH35 movement watch I have this Timex has a noticeably loud automatic winder movement. I notice it when driving, I’ll put my left hand on the wheel and I can hear it clearly spinning away. I’m thinking titanium may be louder than steel??

Unbelievable value buy (sold here $100 off MSRP). Titanium, saphire crystal, automatic movement is basically unheard of in a budget (sub $300) watch market. Maybe with some boutique direct to consumer brands, but that's a lot more of a gamble than Timex. Looks great, sized perfect (for men's watch), lightweight, shock proof, 200m water proof. What else do you need? A replacement band! The cheap/recycled leather is awful. Just awful. I wish you had an option to save money and purchase the watch without the strap altogether. You can find a nice comfortable silicone replacement here for around $20 (sport-minded) Or go all out and get fancy leather or bracelet quality for dress attire. You chose. Side note: I see other reviewers comment on time accuracy (or lack their of). This is not what this watch is for. Let's be real. This is a budget analogue watch with durability to boot. You want accuracy? Get a smartwatch! I wear both. Problem solved.

The watch is really nice quality. This feels like a very durable product. It is equipped with a screw down crown...which isn't mentioned much, but is very important in making this so water resistant. The strap leaves little to be desired, but that easily & cheaply changeable. Overall, I plan on wearing this everywhere. It's a nice change to see a Timex made so well. From what I can put together, the watch, or at least the movement is made in Japan, The strap is made in China. I would buy this over any Hamilton, G-Shock, or other middle of the road watch any day. Especially for the price. The titanium case feels nice, it's easy on the skin & much lighter than the equivalent watch made from stainless steel. The size is good too. Not too big & not too small.

It’s only day one but I will say this watch is very nice - Highlights are: Automatic - see through rear case Titanium - super lightweight Saphire Crystal 200 meter/600 feet water resistance Glowing hands and numbers Shock Resistant Date/Time - hour, minute, sweeping second hand Screw down crown Quick release band changes (20mm size) “Time will tell how well it performs” but my first impression is you get a lot of watch for the money! I did swap out the band immediately to a silicone band and also ordered a couple other styles. The quick release band makes it super fast and easily to change bands whenever you want. You can dress this watch up or down. The leather band that comes with it is fine just a bit short for my liking, I was on the second to last hole. The one thing I noticed is the internal movement is a little “loud” when shaking it. I can’t hear any sound with Seiko automatic but that’s like 5x heavier too. So far I would buy this watch again! I hope Timex continues to dive into the automatic watch market. This price makes entry into automatic/mechanical watches practical and realistic for most everyone. Just say no to batteries! 🤣

The automatic mechanism is very loud and sounds like cheap plastic. Also, when I returned it, it has taken a month for the refund. I’m still waiting. I called and they said another 5-7 business days. Amazon said because it’s expensive. It’s $300 and they’ve had the product returned for almost a month. They keep posting “refund delayed”. The product was new, unworn in the box. Very frustrated.

I do love this watch. It’s lightweight, looks nice, feels durable, and is for the most part exactly what I wanted. There is one glaring problem that causes me to give it only 3 stars: It runs fast. Every week, I’ll be as much as 5 minutes ahead of where I set it. Why that is, I have no idea, but it happens every single time. If it weren’t for that, I’d give the watch 5 stars.
