Timex Just Changed the Game Forever - You Won't Believe This Watch!

The new Timex Giorgio Galli S2Ti Automatic might just be the best timex watch ever.

[@mikemurphy8996]

My wife shaves her legs with Timex bracelets. They are sharp

[@jpizel1070]

😂😂😂

not as sharp as my rolex

[@dontaskdontshow]

not as sharp as your tongue, sir!

I love seeing Timex stepping up to higher end watches and Timex has taken care of a majority of us in the budget lane who wear watches. I like a company that has something for everyone. Thank you!

[@Orozco_PNW]

That's a clean looking Grand Timex!

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

For this price I'd rather buy a Longines.

[@TyphonLeTitan]

That is the msrp price. Not real market price though. This piece will cost less than a longine for the equivalent, you should know this mate.

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

@@TyphonLeTitan I live in Switzerland so believe me, maybe I could get it for a bit less but with import taxes and fees at the end I won't save much. And it's a limited to 500 release so I wouldn't expect a huge discount anyway.

[@ליהואזיסברג]

Timex were always about decent and affordable watches. A 1900 USD watch is definitely NOT a "find" or game changer - Get a nice Tissot or even Longines for less.

[@TheGrenadier97]

$2000 is a no-go.

[@ridgemanron]

Has Timex lost their mind with this price point? As soon as your eyes fixate on the name in the dial, your brain starts calculating less than $100 as the 'thought to be' cost.

[@edwardkeeter762]

I'm not much of a Timex fan, but if nothing else, this watch is gorgeous and the design is innovative, which is a rare thing these days.

[@richardfolden3860]

Right, I mean, who would have ever thought to make a big hand and a little hand. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I bought a timex ten years ago for $25. It keeps perfect time and has a comfortable expandable strap. For $2000 I can buy two Hamilton watches.

[@martinsyer1430]

Chinese watchmaker Thorn have offered the toolless bracelet adjustment for about a year now. Thailand watchmaker Wise, just updated the bracelet for their ADX GMT with the same feature and that watch is just over $700, made of 904L stainless steel with a miyota 9075 movement.

[@Uniongamers]

I'm sorry but why compare this to a Chinese watch? You buy a Timex because you respect the brand and what they stand for. With a Chinese brand you buy it because you want features cheap and don't care about horology or the actual effort that goes into not only building a watch, but building a brand. Who gives a crap some generic Ali Express brand has introduced some feature before Timex. Thorn, San Martin, Pagani, etc... are non brands and an insult to horology. They are 'brands' created to dupe Western buyers.

[@martinsyer1430]

@@UniongamersI was pointing out that the bracelet technology isn't ground breaking. Also, I would bet that the bracelet for the Timex is produced in China. Just like most "Swiss" watches are.

[@FDLTGM]

​​@@Uniongamers Timex garner no respect from me, their QC is crap. I would not hesitate to pass a $2k Timex. But I agree with the second part of your comment.

@@Uniongamers You're overpaying for a brand name and usually not quality of the item. This isn't something to gloat about.

[@89platina]

@@Uniongamers Is it hard to believe that China is far ahead of the US in watchmaking technology..? What heritage here can we talk about,, do you pay extra for Coke for its American entrepreneurship? Timex has been like Casio in Japan. Mass production and low price is where they put themselves.

[@dontaskdontshow]

looks really nice, costs really twice, would buy at $1K, Timex is okay

[@kevinc1001]

At $1950 what is Timex Smoking? If it was at $1k or $750 maybe but $1950 no just no

[@totalynotfunnyguy6581]

more like $150

[@craighoward5486]

"Timex just changed the game forever" is the sort of headline that pulls me in looking for some monstrous innovation. The one innovation I see is a $2,000 price tag on a Timex. A very nice one, but it's not a game changer except for Timex. If there's only one player there's no game to change! There are many other watches at this price point that I would def prefer.

[@benbernard9135]

It’s a gorgeous watch

[@j0shll0yd]

Beautiful watch! Love the DIY bracelet design.

[@SecronSeven]

One of the best looking side profiles I've ever seen. Let's hope someone releases one that doesn't say timex

[@richardfolden3860]

Is that how insecure you are? 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@iamfilipemartins]

Timex making homage to a Chinese brand (Thorn) with that bracelet system. I think it should be given credit for that idea and more watch makers should adopt such design 😊

[@mell3109]

Good on them, I love to see a brand evolve. Why can’t they reach up?

[@Roberto92001]

What Timex needs is a logo.

[@syniekos]

It's a really handsome watch with some nice upgrades compared to the prior releases from this range but approaching $2000 is much more than what I think an avid watch collector would pay for a Timex. Furthermore, as somebody else has pointed out, a COSC movement could've been used at that price.

[@rogerp4612]

I believe the watch. I don't believe the price. 😅

[@les9920]

Nice looking watch but a mistake using the Timex branding in my opinion. Also at that price point they could have used a COSC rated movement.

[@TyphonLeTitan]

Cosc is gimmick.

[@les9920]

@ COSC METAS rated movements tells me it’s meets that tolerance of +/- 5 seconds a day. For my choice I want my timepiece to be as accurate as possible.

[@TyphonLeTitan]

@@les9920 I know mate. Still a gimmick, that you seemd to fall in 🤣

[@just-dl]

Looks nice. Hope they can overcome the snobbery to make a place at the table.

[@kyfiddler2400]

I purchased a $150 Thorn titanium watch with the same bracelet sizing system two years ago. I can’t imagine what they could offer at a fraction of this Timex price. Trust me, I know there’s a huge difference between a Sellita movement and an NH35, but an $1,800 difference for a Timex?

[@alangray6245]

[@michaelhorn8962]

Timex should come up with some new branding for these higher-end pieces.

[@suprotimsom]

Timex is an american brand, whats the point of making a swiss made, american watch? The watch is nice IMO, but it just doesnt resonate with their identity

[@RandallSlick]

You mean like Hamilton? A sad fact is that Swiss Made commands a premium so accountants like it. At present nobody will pay $2k for watch made in a country with no recent watchmaking heritage (statistical outliers aside.) It shouldn't be like that, but....accountants. As for Timex being an American brand, that ship sailed years ago. It's not even evident who owns them, they're not made in USA and the board of directors are mostly European.

[@jaydunluan7095]

@RandallSlick - like Ball watches

Nice watches, but NEVER in my life would I spend 1k on a Timex. I'd much rather wear a $200-300 homage over spending a thousand dollars to have the Timex logo on my wrist.

[@ultimaetsolder]

Couldn't agree more

[@NoNonsense316]

Yes, somehow, I just don't think of Timex as a luxury brand. For the price they want for this watch, you can get an entry-level, true, "luxury" brand, and might have some cash left over. If you want something completely off the beaten path, check out Xeric watches. They have some pretty cool designs that cost way less than this Timex. You might have to learn how to tell time all over again, but they're some real conversation starters.

[@villagranvicent]

I rather buy a Mido, Tissot or Hamilton for that money 🤔

[@bartfloyd4538]

Get over-yourselves

[@NoNonsense316]

@villagranvicent Hamilton has some very nice watches, and most don't need "bank robbery" on the résumé. You could also get a pre-owned Longines, if you wanted to. I currently have a Tissot T-Touch on the way. I'm a walking contradiction - love my "high-tech" watches, but I also love my mechanicals... Depends what kind of mood I'm in when I wake up in the morning. I suspect a lot of us change watches almost daily.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

It’s an amazing design and I love Timex but that price is unforgivable lol

[@devrindare]

No, the price doesn't make sense and its not because Timex has made this watch.

[@michaelbergman1073]

So I have a Timex watch a tad smaller that is a quartz that looks just like this dial. It is a Timex Q from 1979. Although it is not an automatic for sure its design and styling ques are vary similar.

[@acdg7431]

Gorgeous!

[@marcusharmon1273]

Very nice. Sadly, very few are being made making them unavailable, even for those that would gladly buy one.

[@smasum1]

Definitely a lot for any Timex

[@truxton1000]

But not a lot for a quality watch? «For a Timex», well isn’t it about how the watch is made?

[@stillwaters4097]

The price is outrageous for a Timex. No way.

[@TyphonLeTitan]

Snob.

[@YouTube_is_full_of_trolls]

Considering the bracelet was first used on an aliexpress watch, I'm not buying that they invented that system. The price seems like they are taking a piss, but i love the looks of it.

[@mechacraigzilla]

I’ve saved a couple of grand to spend on a Swiss watch, I think I’ll buy a timex. Said nobody ever.

[@lylek8933]

I'll stick with my Citizen F150 Satellite Wave which I got as a gift. Did buy a light source in order to charge it but thus far, after 3 months, I only charged it once and it doesn't appear to be needing any more charge. :)

[@ge48421]

Those are cool watches. I would put it on the light overnight if the power reserve indicator drops to level 3. These lithium cells last longer if they're not fully discharged. If you wear it and you don't excessively run the GPS sync it will probably stay a level 4 or 5. Just don't drop them in a dark drawer.

[@HookersAndCoke]

I saw this get released via email. Looked interesting! But super boring for my taste. Nice materials and a Sellita! I was impressed to say the least.

[@durian9988]

My experience is not good with Timex. Many years from way back, had a new watch broken in weeks, never again considered the brand!😵‍💫

[@erickruse4679]

Looks like relatively high quality, value, and style for the money. At 38mm though, it isn’t something I would be looking at. Impressed though

[@finesse49]

Yeh, 36mm would have been better for a dress watch.

[@peetiegonzalez1845]

I have a fully titanium automatic watch with the same bracelet resize system which cost about $135. This piece is really a stunning design and unique in its construction (although I do have another Ti watch with a partial sapphire case which also cost far less). Even if that's a top grade Sellita, I'm not sure they can really put the cost down to any of these factors, it's more the price you pay for something as unique and well designed. I would, however, expect the finishing on this bracelet to be well executed. Sharp edges are not excusable at this price point.

[@ThatGuyBW]

There are a few (admittedly boutique) American movements Timex should have considered signal boosting and collaborating with. I think there's a lot of gold to mine from the American made" watch enthusiast market.

[@carm727]

Maybe they should market it as a premium Timex offering, like a Grand Timex, or something similar, like a Timex Lux. Similar to a Grand Seiko. 🤔

[@tonydilucente2342]

It is the best TImex ever....and it is BADASS

[@rgcdn]

That’s a banger of a watch. In the last few years Timex is killing, making great watches. This one in particular, feels like the company gave the creator total freedom to just do an amazing watch, no price limit. It will be a great addition to serious collectors - who have money to spend on it - cause this is a true collector’s watch, part of a period/history of a great company. Def not for everybody. I would easily invest if had not had my mind on other fish

[@villagranvicent]

Why not look to this fish instead???

[@tab3Gator]

That’s an innovative watch. I think the pricing is fair, very fair

[@richardfolden3860]

Yeah, it has 2 hands that spin in a circle. So. Much. Innovation. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Do you think if the watch would retain its value if I look at it in an investment perspective?? Or perhaps appreciate?

[@alexsdg3441]

I cannot believe it. Timex copied Thorn bracelet which is Aliexpress Chinese brand.

Chinese contract manufacturers make bracelets and other parts for a lot of "Swiss Made" watches. Perhaps the same manufacturer that made the Thorn bracelet made this one.

[@jorgerobles628]

Nope, I don't agree a single bit. I have several Titanium case watches, and none of them, none, cost me more than 500.00 USD. Timex want to join the ranks of high end brands that had already hyped their real value. For that money I can buy several Indie brands' watches,with money to spare, and they are my taste, not this thing......

[@vincentpun123]

Did you buy one

[@flinto2002]

Imagine all the gunk that will get stuck in the case and edges of the bracelet over time. No thanks

[@tal2471983]

What's does "best watch ever and its not even close" mean?

[@TomOliver-m9c]

What! Did I hear 2 grand for a Timex!? For that I could buy...a Sinn, Doxa, Ball, Longines, Oris, second hand Tudor or possibly Omega etc. I don't think hiring a fancy designer and sticking in a Selita movement is going to cut it here, even with a pin removal system and titanium case. Wow that's too pricey. I like my Timex Expedition Scout and Camper. They're great little watches for outdoor use, not knocking the brand, kudos if this venture works for them!

[@greatgoogamooga1]

I'm sorry, but what I want from timex is that inexpensive watch that ran great and kept good enough time, that I had back as a kid. Not a $1000+ watch. They are losing their way if that's where they're going

The case is great, the isize also. I'm not a fan of three-link bracelets. The dial, though is a deal breaker for me. The price is fine given the spec. I don't mind Timex moving up market and (dial aside) would happily wear the watch and show it off

I’m no expert but this was feels like no identity and no character. Is it male or female? It’s feels castrated. Also the price point for Celita movement - there are lots of options out there. I don’t how you could love this watch or even logically convince yourself that it’s a good deal. I don’t buy it.

[@jaydunluan7095]

I think the company should just leave Timex alone and create a highier tier sub-brand, plus adjust the price to a realistic level. If this is Seiko the price point should be that of the Presage and no way of a near-Grand Seiko.

[@donaldknapik2706]

Timex needs to break off these high end offerings into their own brand in a similar way Rolex has Tudor for their lower cost watches. No one in their right mind is going to pay $2000 for a watch that says Timex on the dial.
