Timex Q Reissue - A lot of fun, for not a lot of money

A few of the earliest watches I ever wore (and remember) were from Timex, so this review is highly biased and purely fueled by childhood nostalgia. Take everything I say here to be coming from someone seeing this watch through rose tinted glasses. I avoided purchasing this watch when it was first released, and I successfully avoided it when the hype died down too. But thanks to a very kind friend and supporter of this page, I finally get to spend some time with it. (Thanks Mike!)


This is the Timex Q Reissue, which manages to combine both 90s Timex nostalgia, and my love for 70s watch design. With a Rolex Oysterquartz styled case, and a Pepsi bezel color, this watch is a very difficult one to resist at $180. These watches were impossible to get hold of after they were first released, but things seem to have settled now, and you can get them from the Timex website without much hassle.

Yep, so much to like with this one. I understand Timex trying to expand the line, but they really nailed it with this OG version.

Yes it’s a very fun watch. The bezel colors are very well done. It’s what makes the watch for me. I tried to like the bracelet but it was a big time hair puller. Put it on a tinny generic oyster bracelet and it’s right at home.
Kinda bummed Timex is coming out with a whole slew of similar looking watches. Diminishes this Q in my mind.

They are fun, I buy the Snoopy watches on the Marlin line. Snoop makes me smile, and some days, you just need a little lift.
