My gut thinks that, yes. But remember there was an issue with the date complication too. Otherwise I probably would have just tried a fresh battery myself. I lucked out, though, because the replacement watch has tighter friction on the bezel, and seconds hand is hitting WAY more markers than the first watch!

@@johnnyj.817 My replacement watch is hitting the markers better, but still not 100%. I'm also one that discredits a quartz for not hitting the markers, but for some reason it's not bothering me as much on this one. I think because I'm focusing on all the other complications! With a traditional 3 hand quartz, the seconds hand is the only "action" to hone in on!

@@WatchWitt I totally understand… temp and compass AND INDIGLOW?! so perfect for a hiker that someone can take it out in competition vs a Citizen landmaster. :D I don't expect it to hit ALL the indices at this price point, but not as bad as the one in your review.

Azt hittem, hogy az én órám hibás, de most már látom, hogy a Timex nem tud órát gyártani. A Casio SGW-500H órám másodpercmutatója pontosan a vonalon áll meg.

Hopefully I can still get to it, because this movement/module is spreading out to a wide variety of styles...so could be helpful for those shopping for Tide/Temp/Compass regardless of whether or not it looks like mine.

Hi, Thanks for a great review of a very useful and stylish looking watch. Was just wondering whether the malfunction of the first one was due to a tired battery?

I suppose I am just sticking up for Timex a bit as I love the brand 🙂 Bests, Tim

It could have been. You're right, the original watch was ticking when I opened the package. Since it was such a new model, I can't imagine it had been produced more than a year before I opened, though. And I've had the replacement running for about 1 year and 8 months. But you never know...could have been a faulty battery. I love Timex too! Was glad that the second watch was as to be expected!

I guess that's an ok watch for someone that wants those features at a cheap price point. To me, I'd rather have a more quality built watch from somewhere other than China. Japanese made Seiko or Citizen offers a higher quality movement and better-quality control. I can see that second hand doesn't even line up right with the indices.

I hear you, but I don’t think either of those companies would be even close to this price range for the motorized complications featured. The watch in the video was indeed replaced by the watch I currently have, and while my current watch hits the markers better than the one in the video, it’s still not 100%. So, that will vary from watch to watch in this model. I’ve got a $40 Timex that hits all its markers!

Why people don’t understand the compass should have 2 hands. If one shows north other shows south. That’s the standard compass.

Yes, I was in "watch" mode, not really thinking of the compass, but more of traditional watch hands. That's some of what you get when I'm seeing a watch for the first time on camera. However, they do have some models where the multifunction hand has more of a long counter balance, rather than this double sided hand.

I'm really liking this one! I truly believe it's just a depleted battery as well. The behaviors lean towards that, and remember the plastic crown extender didn't do its job...watch was ticking when I opened it. But I'm just sending back for a new one to make sure. Besides, I HATE snap on/off casebacks! I need to buy a proper press.

Thanks for watching! I can't do that, though, in the current state of KZbin scams, etc. I noticed you're not subscribed to the channel, so that makes me question the authenticity of your statement.
