I’ve grabbed one as a present for my eldest son who starts secondary school next year. Looks amazing to me and he’ll love it as he like my Explorer and SD4K which this looks to a hybrid of both

Clean look, automatic movement from Japan.

Very nice looking!

Love a good Timex, but those Hodinkee pics look weird with the minute hand on 2 and the hour hand still on 10. That must have taken some (pointless) effort, unless the alignment is genuinely that bad.

1William · 19 November 2021, 10:13 PM

Nice watch.

dannyp · 19 November 2021, 10:36 PM

Like the look, but a bit big for my liking, and too much for a Timex. Also, why was it not made with a bidirectional bezel and presented as a pilot watch (much like the new Hamilton)? Seems a lot more fitting with that WR and strap option, rather than calling out how it's a dive-style watch you cannot dive with.

mongrelnomoad · 20 November 2021, 12:59 AM

That's a great looking watch at a great price. Well done.

PBJ1925 · 20 November 2021, 01:36 AM

Bought one for my son. We both like the design and the entry price for a mechanical piece. Tempted to get one for myself as well.

enjoythemusic · 20 November 2021, 02:19 AM

Soooo good and priced right. Got two, thinking of buying more for gifts to friends.

Wish they had a lume pic.

Goin2drt · 20 November 2021, 06:02 AM

I bought one. Will be great for traveling when I don't want to bring an expensive watch.

scarlet knight · 24 November 2021, 10:33 AM

I got one. Here it is. Looks nice!

Looks good. Nice clean design and aesthetics. I know its only a $300 watch but how's the leather quality? Decent enough or instant swap?

enjoythemusic · 24 November 2021, 10:48 AM

Lume pic pleeeeease.

scarlet knight · 24 November 2021, 10:53 AM

The leather quality is pretty good. I own a lot of Seikos in this category and the leather on this Timex is much better.

scarlet knight · 24 November 2021, 11:25 AM

A weak attempt to capture the lume. In person, it’s pretty good.

bswizzle2552 · 24 November 2021, 12:19 PM

I ordered one, I’m pumped to get it

scarlet knight · 24 November 2021, 10:49 PM

Day 2 with the Waterbury. Much better made than the Q. I like it more than the small Marlin, which was too small for me, I gave it to my father. Better than the big Marlin, which has a loud movenent. The leather strap on this watch is very comfortable, which it should be for $279. Very nice for a casual weekend watch.

scarlet knight · 26 November 2021, 03:46 AM

I just noticed that the original straps on this watch are the quick release type.

p_mcgee · 26 November 2021, 04:15 AM

Looks great, but as usual the Hodinkee tax takes the price over what I would be willing to pay. I'd probably swap out the strap for a Nato, but this would definitely get wrist time.

Good eye!

Justindo · 27 November 2021, 02:07 PM

It looks good but, as usual, I don't like the Hodinkee branding. It would be better if it had a sapphire crystal and a screw down crown, even if they raised the price $20. The strap, like the watch, is made in China, but some have said it's leather from Red Wing, which would explain the good quality.

For sapphire crystal.

enjoythemusic · 28 November 2021, 02:18 AM

Two just arrived, the band is reeeeeally nice! The timepiece is also quite visually balanced and lovely imho. When using the bezel, it makes a light-n-cheap clicking when you rotate it, yet seems very durable and stiff-ish.

Frankly, really well done Hodinkee, color me impressed and glad i got two :)

You captured the pebble-like texture of the dial. My favorite of Timex’ recent special editions.

enjoythemusic · 28 November 2021, 03:08 AM

Always happy to help. It's a good piece for the $, comfy to wear, and would make a great gift for the kids too. Have a smaller wrist gete, so the size works well. Did I mention the band is reeeeeeeally good. Love how they also chose quick-release spring bars. Tudor could learn from this!!!

Btw, bet it'll rock on NATO.

enjoythemusic · 28 November 2021, 07:52 AM

Muse / Wife and i rode our bicycles to a site for 300 homes. The timepiece looks the part.
