Timex are the only brand keeping the "analog with a backlight" dream alive. Big ups to indiglo. I wish they put it on all their watches.

Only works for quartz watches, sadly. Makes sense why on many of the watches that don't have Indiglo, either heritage or lack of a battery.

My watch journey started when my best friend passed away in 2020. He loved his watches and his mum passed on his collection to me when we finally got to meet up after lockdown. The one he wore the most was his Timex Marlin, he bloody loved that watch. I have it mounted on ny bedside table so when I wake up i see it, I try and wear his watches as much as I can. The Marlin has grown on me and is now my firm favourite, it has kick started my obsession and im sure hes grinning from on high as I continually hide from my wife what I spend as I expand his collection 😂.

Need that perspective. I mean ill still wear my badass ugly af watch. But i appreciate the input.

I love the “Expedition north field” and the “Q reissue”, not only because of the excellent value for money, but also because they resemble two of the most beloved watches that my dad used to wear almost every day before passing away, and he was the big reason why I got into watches in the first place. 🙌🏼

I am sooo glad you highlighted these. Timex is still making watch prices livable

I personally love the Timex Marlin Jet Automatic. It's so clean and yet has so much class and character, truly a work of art.

This man is the main reason I got into collecting

I like my TIMEX Expedition T46681. It is the most honest and practical watch I have ever had. Good price, stainless steel case, mineral crystal, day-date, 100 m water resistance and of course Indiglo. So many advantages for so little money

My favorite is the Expedition North Field Hand Wind Blue Dial, because of its pleasingly clean aesthetic and the 12 and 24 hour markers. It also has a great looking leather strap that can easily be changed if you want to.

The snoopy is great but I don’t know why I keep falling back and loving the Q’s! The gold and black is so nice

Fantastic show. The Timex I would like to win is the Q Pepsi Bezel reissue. I am 68 years old and it reminds me of the watch I had during high school that I wore to tennis practice and to the drive in restaurant afterwards. Thanks for your insight into the watch hobby.

Love the channel have for a long time. The Timex Q brings back good memories of when I was a kid love that watch. My Dad wore the Q. Very generous of you to do a give away!!!

Absolutely phenomenal. The value of this 4 watch collection is well.. phenomenal

What a great 4 watch collection MWC! I’ve got a real soft spot for Timex. They’re almost like an American hybrid combination of Seiko and Casio . They offer fantastic value for money, pretty much any type of complication you could reasonably expect and brand heritage out the wazoo! What’s not to love? Good luck to everyone entering the competition!

Got to be the Navi XL Auto Black. I like the Field look and love how the hr hand circles the 24hr markers 👌Thanks MWC for highlighting more affordable watches, love your vibe and videos 👍🏻💯

Timex has its own aestetic and ideas and that's what I admire the most in their offer! Affordable watches with a genuine original touch. The T80 was my first non-casio digital watch I bought, the greenish/reflective background mesmerize me every time! I sold a couple, I stil own a transparent case/white face version. And the Q... I forget this watch, until now. That gold tone, that bracelet... What a great bunch of watches! For the choice from the shop, I think I'll try on wrist the Timex Q Celestial, it's a good chance to wear brilliants without being unnecessarily blingy! So much going on with that dial... Thanks for the new video Russ, and for the chance to win those budget beauties!

The Timex Peanuts snoopy quartz! Cute little piece. And what a fantastic 4-watch collection you’re giving away!

Watching this wearing my vintage pink T80. Big fan of Timex. Favorite in their current catalog is the expedition north with the grey/black dial. Favorite ever was the old 90's skiathom range.

Seeing this Timex GMT 'Pepsi' watch brought back a flood of cherished memories for me. My grandfather used to have a watch just like this, and it instantly reminded me of him and my childhood. He was a proud truck driver for the Pepsi bottling company back in the 70s. I remember sitting by the window, eagerly waiting for him to come home after his long hauls, always with a smile and a story to tell. This watch symbolizes not just time, but the countless moments of love, hard work, and the unbreakable bond we shared. Thank you for bringing back such beautiful memories. Winning this watch collection would mean the world to me, as it would be like having a piece of my grandfather with me always.

The Waterbury Traditional Quartz Silver Dial Men's Watch is my favorite. Classy and fresh but still oldschool enough to go with an Iron Maiden tshirt from 1986 and som spiked leather on the other wrist. Keep up the good work.

The Heritage Waterbury Chronograph by Timex indeed offers a nod to classic watch designs, much like the revered Omega Speedmaster. With its quartz movement and distinctive blue dial, it provides a budget-friendly option for those who appreciate the timeless style of high-end chronographs. While it may not have the same horological prestige as the Speedmaster, known for its space exploration heritage, the Waterbury stands out with its own charm and reliable functionality, making it a great choice for everyday wear. Whether you're a watch enthusiast or simply looking for a stylish timepiece, the Heritage Waterbury is a testament to Timex's commitment to quality and affordability.

Timex Expedition green dial. That simple and classic look. Perfect beater for me! Also what a steal on that north field!!

I adore the rugged charm of the Timex Field Mechanical, and that stunning blue hue just takes it to another level !! Love from France

My fav is the Expedition North Sierra Black. A proper timeless tool watch. The blacked out version looks serious tough. Love it. Keep up the good work MWC. By far the best watch reviewer out there 👌

The Navi quartz definitely has to be at the top of my list. I’ve always loved that open hour hand!

That Timex Allied LT Quartz Grey Dial watch would be perfect for when I go fishing. And the hands even look like fishing floats! 🎣

Harborside Coast Quartz Black Dial is all I need in my life!! Amazing value on these watches and lovely video!

MK1 Quartz Beige Dial TW2R96800 for me. It's a field watch, which I need, stainless steel case, great legibility and Indiglo, I'd upgrade to a suitable bracelet, and its one of the few analog watches the wife would want- Indiglo is a must! great vid as always MWC!

Expedition North Field for me, I always eye for this thing for a long time but always like a couple who never got a chance to match together

Norway Quartz Blue Dial. I love that minimalist design. Never heard about this Timex before

NAVI XL with the red bezel,looks awesome. Also love the hole in the hour hand for the 24 hour

That expedition north field mechanical is an absolute spec monster for the price! So good to see that timex are still flying the flag for the budget conscious watch buyer. My fave going into this video was the OG Timex Q which I snagged for a bargain on eBay a few years back - but having seen the gold version in this video, it’s just next level 70s vibes! New fave!

Loving the budget friendly options from Timex! Definitely on the list for a GADA watch

The Timex Milano XL Quartz Silver Dial Men’s Watch looks really smart 👌🏼

My choice too.

Waterbury Legacy can't go wrong with it. Looks high class and love bezels!

The Navi Xl Automatic Black Dial looks absolutely stunning with the red bezel combined with the leather strap, automatic to top it off. Amazing watch

Timex Q reissue blue dial for me. Always loved this style even before it came back into fashion in recent years. Nice giveaway!

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR

Ай бұрын

Superb my friend

For me, The timex Q reissue stands out, I mean that classy look!!!!

The silver Timex Q with the blue bezel and dial is 100% my favorite watch on jomashop. Such a damn good looking watch and I don’t have a dive watch in the collection yet so it would be a perfect addition. Love the integrated bracelet and retro goodness styling. Bring back the 70s!!

The Timex M79 Automatic caught my eyes. I love the color of the bezel, it's black and blue. It compliments the black dial and the red seconds hand also pops up. I think it's gonna look good on my wrist. I love it!

The first watch I bought from my first salary was a timex expedition north solar, its simply great! Wearing it right now too!

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR

Ай бұрын

Awesome!

Thanks for highlighting these watches, Timex has been killing it the past couple of years and enthusiasts who haven't heard need to know! That Expedition North field watch is an absolute bargain! I can't decide between the Waterbury Traditional Quartz Silver Dial (more of a two-tone, as the outer ring where the hour numerals are is black), and the Expedition Pioneer Chronograph Quartz ani-digi. Looks rugged, tough and purposeful.

For me, it's the Classic Chronograph in blue. It was the first watch I ever got on my first trip to the US, in New York, and it holds a special place in my heart because of that. But I've also received so many compliments on it because it's such a simple, elegant watch. I see that in the current version the dial is a little more cluttered, and they've changed the crown to an onion-shaped one. But if I ever lost mine, I'd be more than 100% sure I'd buy it again! The Indiglo, the quick adjustment hour hand, the typographies of the dial (especially the numerals),... I don't know, it's a model that might not attract attention at first, but it's a strap monster and for today it is, and will be, one of my favourites in my collection forever. Wishing you all a great day! :)

My favorite is the Light Blue Citizen Tsuyosa because I love the sleek design and the blue dial reminds me of summer

Of the choices on Jomashop, I have to say that Pepsi GMT is my current favorite. I love the colors & I don't have a GMT. So cool of you to do this. Love your channel. Keep up the outstanding work!

Love the Waterbury traditional with the silver dial. The dial reminds me of a porthole, and the watch is just pure class. So the perfect all-rounder.

Waterbury traditional GMT. I love to look like an old man and this is the perfect watch to do that. I really do love the way the gmt hand is adjusted. Thanks for the chance!

Hi, Timex is one of my favorite watch brands and it doesn't receive much positive attention on KZread, just harsh criticism of questionable models. I was pleased to see a video highlighting the positive aspects of Timex. In recent years, the brand has made many hits like the Expedition North line, the metallic T-80s, the Q Reissue, and their timeless classics like the Ironman and Weekender. From the store, I would choose the Standard Peanuts Snoopy Christmas watch because in my country, the Snoopy Weekender models are very rare and cost double or even triple what they do in retail in the northern hemisphere. The other more popular models are available at more reasonable prices.

Your wife's comments are absolute gold. 😂 The Timex M79 Batman is my jam.

Timex q blue dial is my fav. I also love Timex Marlin chrono and mf 13. Great collection to own❤

The Expedition North Field looks and feels amazing. You can combine it with a lot of stuff and still look fancy or casual. Thank you for the amazing work on your videos. And huge thank you for the casio videos. I'm now owning a big collection of them because of you. And it's all worth it. Thank you and keep up with the quality videos.

The Timex Marlin Jet is SUCH a beautiful piece; modern technology in a tastefully updated vintage design is truly a masterclass in how to do it right. Definitely on my to purchase list! Thanks for the great videos!

I love that Expedition North Field. I have tiny tiny wrist and 38 mm is perfect for me, love the blue dial and most importantly I love that this is a hand wound mechanical watch, you know, you have to wind it regularly, it brings me joy. That watch is a beauty.

Thankyou for the review of these Timex watches. Love the vintage vibe of the Timex Q Reissue. Definitely need that on my wrist.

MWC! For me, it's the Timex Expedition North Sierra Quartz Black Dial Men's Watch. I love it's legibility, quartz reliability, and the dimensions are perfect: 40mm case and a strap-a-holic 20mm lugwidth! Let's go!!!!

Expedition North Field Hand Wind Blue - I have a friend who is getting married, and this would be a perfect gift for him. He has been looking for his first watch and loves the 38mm size and is drawn to blue dials. Additionally, being a legacy brand and a watch that he can hand wind I think it would be perfect for him. Love the channel!

I love the field watch....love your videos, always watch them

The Timex Black Bay 58, I mean Harborside Coast would be my go-to. Love the BB vibes and specially the price!

For the Timex watches on Jomashop, I would have to say my favorite is the Expedition North manual wind. You were spot on with thos one! Keep up the great work on this channel. I watched this episode with my 8-year-old for bedtime tucks. The great energy and fun you have is getting her into watches. 😊

Love the channel. My wife loves all the watches but her favorite is the Q Timex dive watch in gold!!

It's the Marlin Panda Chronograph, such a cool watch bringing a lot of retro vibes. It makes me nostalgic for a time i never witnessed on a continent i have never been. But for the jomashop webiste it's the Expedition North Field Hand Wind. Sapphire Crystal is mandatory on a Watch with "Expedition" in it's Name and it will never run out of power. Seems as a perfect gada-Watch that Works in the Office and when going hiking in your Holidays.

I had a Timex in Grad School that received more compliments than any watch I've ever owned. Regarding those on Jomashop, you can't go wrong with the Mk1 Chronograph Quartz Black Dial Men's Watch. It's a real beauty!

My first watch, in the mid 1980's was a Timex Playskool collaboration. It was meant to help kids learn how to tell time on an analog watch, it was a red rectangle with a digital screen and a bright yellow dial analog watch. I wish I still had it. Since that watch I grew up with Timex's and still have a few. Im strongly considering picking up the Q Reissue Quartz blue is the closest to a Timex I had in college.

Hey Russel! Long time viewer and first time commenter. I love your content! After looking through Jomashop, that gold Q Timex in your video is by far the best. Best regards, Aaron

Dive watches are my favorite, so I'm instantly drawn to the Navi XL. But that Waterbury GMT just looks cool and classy! Also, having a separate pusher to operate the GMT hand is pretty cool! I vaguely remember my dad having a white dial Timex on a brown leather strap back in the day. I wish he still had it, or that I could remember the reference.

Love your videos, i'm glad i've discovered you. That Marlin Automatic Silver Dial woul be perfect in my collection!

I really appreciate the different perspectives of brands and price range and styles.

From the shop link, I'd say I fancy the MK1 series watches, the dial colours paired with the big numbers and strong accents just draw my attention among the other watches they have.

Brilliant collection, gotta love em. Ok, Q reissue in blue with 2 tone bracelet, Awesome bit of retroness, love it. Great video cheers.

Thanks for the video! My favorite is simple - for some reason, I lean towards the blue dial Expedition that you showed in the video. It’s been years since I’ve owned a hand wind watch - the last one I had was a Timex! I’ve never been to “Jomashop” before and was surprised by all the brands offered! I’ll go back there soon!

My fav is the expedition north field hand wind in the blue dial it’s superb and very simple. The strap is great and looks great value and quality for the price overall!

The timex Lab 80 quartz in white is my favorite timex watch from Jomashop. Would definitely wear it fishing. Cheers

I'm really loving the Fairfield Quartz. It has a cool vintage dress watch vibes, with a clean look, and the bracelet reminds me a Patek.

Cant go wrong with the Timex Expedition. Love your channel!

Great vid as always - I’m liking the waterbury legacy quartz, especially the blue one.

The Time Expedition Pioneer Chronograph Quartz Analog-Digital Black Dial Men's Watch looks banging! Also your 4 are wow too ,especially the North Field hand wind one is 🔥!

Timex Ironman was an everyday GoTo for the first 15 years in the military. I would beat them until they died and I couldn’t read the numbers anymore. They would see all types of climates desert, tropical rain forest, extreme cold and hot, humid, and keep working through. Even replaced the battery a couple times in each of the ones I had instead of buying a new one. Since getting into watch collecting my style has changed some. I still like the military style watches and the blue Expedition one you showcased is a great looking watch. Right up my alley. I actually went to Jomashop and purchased an Expedition with a 50% off code because of your video. That is probably my new favorite. Thank you.

Awesome collection! I'm a great fan of the Q range and their retro reissues. The Timex Milano XL gives so much 70s vibe which I love.

I actually just fell in love with the Waterbury Quartz Pink Dial. It's a bit blingy and out there but to me it's the perfect summers watch. Could go well with a linnen shirt or shorts, or with a light blue, grey or even green suit to the office. I didn't knew I needed a watch with a pink dial, but here I am... :)

The Expedition North is the star for me - looks good, decent quality - including the strap, automatic ... A nice practical watch you can proudly wear.

The Expedition North Field Hand Wind is, for me, the most beautiful watch in the catalogue. The reason is my indispensable passion for mechanical watches and plain looking watches. Having sapphire glass is also a great plus.

I love the Timex Q Reissue Series! Looks amazing for the price and not to mention, its bracelet gives it that vintage feel! Love ya channel!

With or without a giveaway, one thing is sure, the "what the wife said" segment is becoming my favorite part of your videos. And by the way, the Northfield Expedition is my favorite...

Wow, for me it’s the Timex watch TW2V43500 its an absolute stunner! The gold-tone stainless steel case paired with the black leather strap is such a classy combination. The champagne dial with gold-tone hands and markers gives it a timeless elegance that really stands out. I love the attention to detail with the minute markers around the outer rim, and the analog dial adds to its classic appeal. The quartz movement ensures it's always accurate, and the scratch-resistant mineral crystal means I can wear it daily without worrying. Plus, it's water-resistant up to 30 meters, which is perfect for everyday wear. The Gallery Series never disappoints with its casual yet sophisticated style.

The Waterbury GMT is awesome. I had no idea Timex made these. I like the gold accents and that quick set pusher is awesome!!!

my current favourite is the Expedition North Sierra 40mm in black. It's a modern interpretation of the timeless field watch design, seamlessly blending sophistication with practicality, all while remaining remarkably affordable-a hallmark trait of Timex. I think there's elegance in its simplicity and I love a timepiece that exudes coolness yet remains within reach for nearly any collector. This watch embodies accessibility without compromising on style or functionality, making it an irresistible choice for enthusiasts like myself.

Fairfield Slip-Thru Quartz Blue looks really dope. Wanted to get myself an Indiglo watch for a while now.

My favorite one is the timex q reissue cause i just love the way it looks and i really like the hands and bracelet Hope you are having a wonderful day

Q Reissue Quartz Black Dial is really a great looking one. Thanks for showing them

My fav. model is Timex TW2T73100. I have an above average sized wrist, about 7.6 inches. So a case size of 43mm would be about perfect for my wrist size. Plus my Mrs. approves of it. :)

I really like the Waterbury Automatic White Dial. Looks like a fancier Easy Reader. Thanks for the opportunity to win watches!

I have to say that the little Expedition North Field you reviewed is a winner. Cheers!

What the wife said never ceases to make me smile, a unique review feature that no other reviewer online or paper dares to tread 😂 “Click it….” Love this channel.

great show... definitely would need the Heritage Waterbury Chronograph Quartz Blue Dial

I love the look of the Timex Field Mechanical , and that blue is gorgeous

Russ, for me it's the Q Timex TW2U61900, blue dial , silver case and bracelet. Very similar with the last one in this show, but with more classic color choices. This 4 watches collection is hot. Great show again.

My favorite is the Waterbury Traditional. It's unique, easy to read, has day and date complications, and the green seconds hand adds a nice bit of color to spice it up.

Easily my favourite is the milano XL quartz. Such a classic classy look. My beautiful fiance loves timex watches on me and has bought many a watch for me on my birthdays. A favourite out of my whole collection even though its the cheapest is my q falcon eye. What a watch! Love the show mate. Keep up the good work 👏

I mean, I was going to say The Expedition North Titanium Automatic 41mm but boy have you sold me on the mechanical version you featured here. Saphire, Mechanical, incredible finish and colour match, and affordable; this the definition of great value with fantastic watch making. I have slowly built a small collection of affordable watches yet every time I wear the first watch I've ever bought (Timex Weekender) am I proud that was my choice. Mad respect to Timex for their commitment and integrity to sticking to what they do best. P.S. lets be real that indiglo cannot be beaten

Looked at all them, and this is the one I would choose “Expedition North Field Hand Wind Blue Dial Men's Watch”
