@@Friendsshare I agree. It's the way it looks on the watch that brings me back to my youth. Pure Americana!

[@stemikger]

So funny you said that. I have been working from home for 18 months now due to covid I started watching these watch videos on KZbin and caught the collecting disease. At first I didn't know what I wanted, I'm not doing it as an investment, just for fun. I wound up owning 1 watch to now owning 40 Timex watches (in less than a year). lol. I just love these watches and the new reissues they are putting out are awesome. Obviously I understand a luxury watch is at a entirely different level of collecting, but I'm having fun looking at my Timex watches and like another poster said, something about seeing that name on the watch. If you are not a horology buff but enjoy Americana Timex is a logical choice. I invest in stocks, so I don't need to worry about them being nothing more than fun toys for me.

[@m.l.miller219]

Nicely done. I've got the very same Weekender watch at time hack 3:39 m/s. One of my favorites. I prefer the analog watches (e.g. Timex: Easy Reader, Waterbury Classic) the older I get. Timex has done a good job of providing quality watches at affordable price points.

[@Mr_Santo5]

I love Timex. Wish they were still made here in the USA but speaking with an old watchmaker in my town, he said that some of the best watchmakers today are all in that part of the world. By the way what a classy watch @02:52.

Is the Timex Easy Reader a good choice?

[@taylorwatson7932]

Paul Gallagher It is, indeed. It’s reliable and being a quartz watch it keeps fabulously accurate time. That watch has been one of Timex’s best sellers since it’s release in 1977.

[@spacetrucker2952]

Fantastic everyday watches, reasonably priced. I've been buying timex watches for over 30 years, and they still work. I've only had a problem with one of them, the indiglo stoped working. I think it was a problem with the crown.

I love my Easy Reader. It was inexpensive and I call it my generic watch. My only complaint is it has this date function I never use. I recently bought a new watchband for it and I paid like 12 bucks for another simple black leather band.

[@jasonclarke7422]

Get yourself a Timex weekender, pretty much the same watch but without the date complication.

waterbury is nice watch

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Waterbury chronographs are very tasteful IMO. Come in bunch of different frame/face variations too. All in very classic sleek colour combinations. I think there's nothing wrong with a seasoned vet using a Timex :) After all, it's a company that held up to it's reputation for over 100 years. That's got to be worth something.

My first watch was my dad's Timex. (You don't give a rambunctious kid a Patek Philippe.) It was made in the 50s. I still have it. Throughout the years, I've had little problem obtaining a battery. Though I no longer wear it, I like that it keeps on ticking. I've been offered big bucks for it.

It's interesting to see that even to this day even watches that are considered to be rather cheap have human touch applied in their production. I was expecting to see fully automated production line, and I'd be fine with that I suppose. I'm glad I was wrong. It's nice to know that it's still as much art, as it is engineering.

[@guanoman8689]

maybe it was staged haha

I got some Timex watches, and I keep them away in closed box at night because they tick so loud that I can't sleep! Can't you make them quiet?

[@TimexUSA]

We’re sorry to hear the watch didn’t fully meet your expectations due to its loud ticking. We feel bad that you had to put it in a box while sleeping just to not distract you. The ticking on the watch depends on several factors like the size and the materials used in making the watch and its movement. We understand that it can be loud especially when in a closed room. Our Quality control team have been made aware of this issue for some of our watches that has a loud ticking sound. They are currently in the process of finding a solution to lower or tone down the ticking sound of the watch without affecting the movement.

I wonder if timex would ever make a higer end watch- like say somewhere along the lines of Oris or Fears. I really think they could go upmarket if they wanted to. I think people would buy a higher end timex.

[@BrandonBeans]

It's kind of their thing. The older mechanical and autos are pretty quiet, but their quartz analog models are quite a bit louder than say, a Casio. Personally, I find the ticking soothing, but I grew up with grandfather clocks.

[@Bob-yw7pc]

@@TimexUSA People not being willing to pay higher prices at the cost of making things in the US, is exactly why timex cant mostly, while being competitive. If timex made a watch for around $300, or $450 with an auto with a diamond or sapphire crystal, made fully in the US i think it would sell out. The quality is up there these days. There are companies that sell watches with sapphire crystals, assembled (with foreign parts), in the US for around $200. If anyone had the power to bring production and jobs back to the US, timex would be one of them.

[@guanoman8689]

You cannot get the same quality from anything like 20-30-40 years ago. The same happened to every big companies. They drew people attention with quality first, then they found themselves in a rat race, in a competition of cost reduction and profit margin... This led all big quality companies to outsource their production to cheap countries, mostly in China, then to Malaysia, Philippines, but also to South America etc.. This happened to the cheaper Casio, Seiko products as well, but with cloth companies and most of other industries as well. That is why my clothes bought in the 90's are like brand new still today, while the ones I buy from the same brand today last for few months or up to a year or two.. The same with watches from the 70's, 80's, 90's or earlier, and other stuffs as well. To be honest kinda frustrating that what was natural 20-30-40 years ago, now counts as luxury.
