They are really hitting it hard this last couple years… I love this one

[@watchyawant]

Another fantastic Timex they will... timex up. For those not following the American company, to timex something up means creating a fantastic watch you can't buy because of poor stock management.

[@MrBacchus18]

But if you are patient it will eventually come back in stock and you'll get it on sale.

[@B_Fulop]

Is in stock on Ocarat Is a french website bud they ship worldwide

[@captainmcduckyYT]

That's literally what's happening. I still can't seem to get this in stock anywhere in India

[@mdunawaym]

Timex was my first watch when I was about 6 years old. I felt like an adult, having it on my wrist. I'm so glad to see the brand really working it in the past couple of years!

[@GalorOffroad]

The Timex Q Chronograph (which I have) and this new Timex Marlin Chronograph are superb 😍 Good job Timex !

[@CriminOllyBlog]

When Timex try they really do have the ability to create great looking watches. Very tempted by this one

[@BraveBeaters]

Agree :)

[@andreaiacolina]

Very nice piece. Timex recently is doing great things for incredible prices

[@atoz6552]

When I unboxed it, I was stunned at how good it looks in person. Most of my other watches kind of looked "boring" next to it LOL. Thanks for the classy review. You're a real gentleman!

[@nikkolomakaveli8295]

The acrylic crystal and the domed shape, the 3, 9, and 12 font with a solid bracelet really make this a Timex 💎.

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

That is a good-looking watch, indeed. Thank you for this great review and introduction to this watch. Much appreciated.

[@BraveBeaters]

Thank you, Simon!

[@fuzzytalz]

Very fine looking watch! Enough so that, at $150-$200, I doubt I’ll be able to resist one.

[@ryanm9554]

Love the shots with the Corvette! Nice to hear it run!

[@larsstougaard7097]

Cool watch , love a good retro panda 🐼🎋

[@BraveBeaters]

It's super cool! :)

[@alvinmick218]

This watch looks amazing! I prefer lume on my watches but this watch looks so good that I can make an exception. Those numerals are very well designed and really add to the vintage aesthetic. I totally agree with you about the date complication but at least they kept it subtle so as not to draw much attention. Beautiful watch! Very well done 🥃

[@rickfimple7866]

I have the “Q” chrono Timex (which is one of my favorite looking watches)..I also have the Timex Marlin “mod” (which I adore)..both those watches are comfortable, great looking watches..I saw this one and am glad you did a review of it, very nice looking, except for the date window which I can’t see anyway, but for under $200, sign me up, this one is a keeper! Great job Timex!

[@bigsmooshflopdong33]

I think that Timex just keeps coming out with fantastic watch after fantastic watch. This Marlin being no exception to that, glad you compared it to the Hamilton as I do think it is an awesome value comparison to that watch.

[@BraveBeaters]

It is very similar, yes :)

[@delonteeast7955]

Amazing release from Timex!

[@SingleTrackMined]

Very nice looking chronograph. Timex have a winner, I can see one in my future. Great review. Cheers!

[@chrono_graphe]

It looks like The Breitling Top Time Triumph but thinner 😉 Nice shots 👍👍

[@BraveBeaters]

Thank you :)

[@samfortune589]

The production quality and content of your videos is brilliant, thanks for these helpful, engaging videos sir!

[@nichkej8833]

As per usual you find a fresh non-hype piece to share! Superb review and presentation shots. This Marlin reminds me of an Orient Neo 70s Chrono in terms of pure value for money, although that one can't be found at retail anymore sadly. I love the vintage vibes, the fonts, crystal and case shape on this one! If Timex was readily available in Eastern Europe, this one would be a definitive buy for me.

[@kristof9695]

It's more like old Heuer Carrera on budget, the glass, the dial, the button

[@nichkej8833]

@@kristof9695 It definitely is much closer to the Heuer but I'm just comparing pure value.

[@Jacobruxo]

Another impressive release from timex... I might grab that one

[@andrebreuer3264]

First and foremost, thank you for this video. I was looking quite some time for a panda dial watch. I guess I will give this one a try. For me the value for money is great.

[@metallicamaniac318]

Wow that is a gorgeous piece. Thanks for the review, I recently purchased a tiffany blue Citizen Tsuyosa and I'm debating sending it back for this. If I love the Citizen and keep it, I may still go for this. I have yet to add a chronograph to my collection!

[@WayneSmith-zx3tf]

It's got my attention. In fact the whole Marlin line does. I like watches but my funds are somewhat limited. I've paid up to $450 for a watch but that was a bit of a stretch for me. $150 is more my speed. Love the "vintage" look of the new run of Marlins.

[@gregleingang9409]

Timex nailed this!

[@claudtalkz2194]

This model definitely caught my eye when it was released

[@BraveBeaters]

A beauty to consider! :)

[@denniscrowley8517]

Love Timex!

[@watchyawant]

I am trully impressed! 8 minutes on the dot! :))

[@DL-yc4pm]

Beautiful watch. Reminds me of "The Waterbury" versions. Been looking for a new 50m to 100m timex but can't decide. Good review.

[@marshalbass7098]

Thanks for the review. I had the Timex Q chrono and returned it because it got condensation under the glass after being outside in cold weather for a short time. But I missed it so I was looking at getting another one but then saw this.

[@matgreen8605]

Its s lovely watch and i would recommend it. The mid century look is really good, the silver and the numbers are perfect. Had mine for about a month now and it's been a good addition. The only thing I'd get rid of is the strap, its too inflexible. Looking at replacements at the moment

[@steko1892]

think i'm actually gonna buy this one - was looking for a stylish chronograph: gr8 content - subscribed ...

[@BraveBeaters]

Cheers! :)

[@grahamwallace]

I recently picked one up on the bracelet. Got a good discount online from Timex UK. I agree that it’s a really good looking watch and also that it wears a little smaller that its dimensions suggest. I’d say more like a 37/38mm.

[@mayankagrawal3138]

I am new to watches and loving this one, thinking of getting it, I am wondering if its possible to take out the bracelet sometimes and put in a leather strap?

[@grahamwallace]

@@mayankagrawal3138 Definitely. It’s also sold with other strap options.

[@vukotabrajovic5988]

This is Seiko Mecaquartz, because Epson is owned by Seiko and it is obvious that this is one of their VK models as its chrono second hand snaps instantly back when you reset it.

[@BraveBeaters]

I wasn't aware, thank you very much for the info.

[@benjaminv.3172]

I ordered one on the black leather band and while I loved it, I felt it was missing something. Swapped in a stainless steel Milanese bracelet and it takes the watch to a whole other level, and matches the retro aesthetic perfectly. Fantastic watch for the money, and a new favorite in my personal lineup.

[@siddhmotiwala4097]

Where did you get it from ?? It is out of stock everywhere!

[@benjaminv.3172]

@@siddhmotiwala4097 Amazon had some in stock a week and a half ago, that’s where I found it! Looks like they are out of stock, hopefully they will get in stock again soon.

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of gussl. Their timepieces are of exceptional quality.

[@bobbyb3543]

wow, theres a green dial version too that is fuego

[@andyvankerkhove6902]

love it... want it... not possible to order yet here in Spain, but they will notify me... 179 euro

[@cyrankowski22]

This timex marlin chronograph IS fantastic it looks like a tag Heuer Carrera too a beautifull homage

[@cyrankowski22]

I order mine on ocarat which IS french website during the sales for 130 euros but infortunately i have to wait april to be delivered to update thé watch i will order a leather rally straps but very good quality and a deployement clasp . What do you think ? Where do you but your denim strap ? It fits perfectly with this watch

[@skibooski6884]

this is my first chrono, things beautiful. Almost blinds me in the sun haha

[@damiangarcia8679]

You make some of the best watch videos!! I just got it from Amazon for $135 on the bracelet, couldn't believe the price.

[@stevendufour]

The green one I believe? ;)

[@damiangarcia8679]

@@stevendufour I went for the panda like the one on the video, on the bracelet its actually the cheapest atm... =o They all look super nice regardless of color.

[@dubcheck2943]

Really tempted. I do need to add a chrono to the collection. With 20% codes, you can grab for £136 in the UK.

[@unixnerd23]

Lovely design :-)

[@Mass1987]

I just bought it based on this review. £170 in the UK. But timex give 15pc off code if first time buyer from their website so cost £143 ish.

[@hemanthr7294]

Coupon cabin has 25% off coupon for timex watches.

[@Mass1987]

Thanks. However, I believe that is a US thing not for us in the UK. Will help some other readers though perhaps 😊

[@mattsmiley8156]

What a fantastic video with great detail and beautiful shots of the watch. Timex once again proves it’s the best of the best when it comes to fashion watches. There’s nothing wrong with that. Great value and they know what customers want. I’d snap this up in a heartbeat. And I’m always hesitant about non-mechanical watch purchases!

[@BraveBeaters]

Cheers! :) As I was mentioning, the feeling of the watch is more mechanical than quartz

[@ashleymadison9380]

Buying this ASAP!

[@alex_erazo]

Timex aren't fashion watches..

[@mattsmiley8156]

@@alex_erazoAt their price point and many different styles being constantly released and disregard to better movements I’d argue they could be in that category. But just an opinion.

[@infinitekronos]

Excellent review! I love the the watches you review. This timex is so vintage inspired. I'm stuck now when trying to decide on a racing chronograph. I'm still leaning heavily towards the Q timex Chronograph, but this new Marlin is really having me second guess things.

[@timyoungnc]

Great review. I just got the blue dial and really like it. Kind of wish I’d gotten the silver dial.

[@robertmckinlay7242]

The wearing experience you describe is similar to a Meca-Quartz, and I like Meca-Quartz watches.

[@jouwenlee7829]

Always waiting for your high quality and interesting watch content. This and the Q time chronograph GMT are interesting pieces. Is this same movement as the previous chronograph that the first pull of the crown only change the hour and date but not minute hand? Looking forward to your next video soon. Thank you.

[@dabec7463]

I bought it after watching your video. Currently sold out but I should get it around nov 7th

Those 12, 3 and 9 indices, look like 1206 smd resistors.

[@DialgaCZ]

for me 220 eur :((( sadly. finally!! i was waiting for a good chrono the orient was good looking watch but i didnt like the bezel and this has the vintage feel especially with the bracelet option looks stunning

[@TheRuiner781]

Where is this watch $150? I've only seen it listed at $175 everywhere I've looked

[@timchan334]

I think its including the 15% discount with new email signup

Thanks for the review. I have one question, is the seconds hand always sweeping or it only runs when the tachymeter is engaged? Thank u

Great looking timepiece, and for the price, what else do you want. Great share, thanks

I agree! Such an enabler… 🥶😡

[@donaldlundee4719]

I ordered this watch because I can’t afford the Heuer 60th Anniversary Carrera. The numeral change are interesting also.

[@IgorBagayev]

My wish list for this watch: - saphire crystal - solar powered - For that I would agree to pay 300-350 eur

[@akiblue]

Man, if they offered this at a higher price with automatic movement and a sapphire crystal, I'd jump on it.

[@Zanzibar2Far]

Think I still prefer the Q chrono, but this is very nice. I did notice sloppy uneven paint on the indices.

[@knuckleskaboom]

can the jubilee strap be interchanged?

[@BraveBeaters]

Sure

[@knuckleskaboom]

@@BraveBeaters Thank you for taking the time to reply to me, one last question... this vs. Casio Edifice S570YDC-1A ? I know they very different categories of watches, but if you had 200dollars, which one would you buy? (I can get the casio for less actually)
