Stunning watch, what a solid design concept

[@OuijTube]

Timex hype watches. Wow. I always had a Timex as a kid, and it’s neat to see Timex starting to do cool/interesting/premium watches.

[@mikequinlan9585]

I just bought mine in Inverness green, it beautiful. Even looking at it under a magnifying glass, I don’t see any imperfections and the rotator isn’t to loud. I have 2 Timex Navi XL’s and one has a loud rotator and doesn’t. I think it varies from movement to movement. Overall I’m enjoying this watch as my daily go too.

[@sweeping6737]

Beautifully designed watch no doubt

[@timyoungnc]

Excellent review!!

[@roberthallisy5183]

I've had mine for a bout a month. the design is amazing, but the rotor is so loud when moving around. I feel like they almost had it, but just came up a bit short. still a great watch.

[@dbeff]

I also have the same with another watch using 8215 movement. Why nobody talk about this in almost any review of any watch with Miyota movement? I will consider 100 times now to purchase any watch that will come with movement from this manufacturer.

[@WNYfellow]

It would be nice .... if you could publish (or tell us) the specific price.

[@Pfeiffer-fp2se]

Is that stone red or purple? It looks purple to me on camera.

[@johnnybgood7812]

It’s an interesting piece and in 38mm looks much more proportionate but I’d find the cleaning of that case in a watch that can’t withstand a run under the tap frankly plain annoying and the price seems a bit high too. For instance a Tissot TRX albeit with a quartz movement is significantly less money and for twice as much I can buy a gorgeous Sinn 556a.

[@robrockatansky5905]

Nicely done and attractive at that price. Wish there were non-sunburst, more legible, dial options.

"It feels premium in the hand."

[@RogerSartet007]

Beautiful and original case design. They forgot however to taper the strap to 16 mm. Would be more elegant for a dress watch

[@silvermediastudio]

Original? It's a circle.

[@yoniarandre]

hi Blake Buettner what is the watch that u wear?

[@wornandwound]

Hi! That is the Zodiac x Worn & Wound seen here: wornandwound.com/introducing-the-zodiac-x-worn-wound-super-sea-wolf-limited-edition/

[@Da-co8ud]

28,800 BPH for under 500 bucks is pretty nice.

[@markmattimore592]

The slogan is "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

[@FuturisticMaestro]

MIM is a cost cutting measure for metal parts instead of milling. I know it's new to the watch world but it's been around for a while. It's NOT a premium feature. Also MIM parts are weaker and prone to breakage.

[@OuijTube]

Given the stresses here are a fraction of what other MIM parts will experience, I’m thinking this is a pretty interesting manufacturing process for watch cases. Also, the new shapes made trivially possible by molding bring interesting design possibilities without the expense of forging and milling.

[@zillsburyy1]

every time i trust timex it shits all over me

[@lamaludwig1470]

But why 38mm?

[@OuijTube]

As a compromise between 34-36mm (the “default” size for men’s watches before the mid-1990s) and 40-42mm (the supposed modern trend). Also, the industry seems to be retreating away from the large case sizes we have previously seen to something closer to the old norm-we are seeing more 36mm cases being rolled out again.

[@sagoamicably6486]

the original giorgio galli s1 automatic was 41mm. this is a newer 38mm option for those who want it. if you like larger you can still get the 41

[@Jedimaster36091]

There is a 41mm version also, if you want a larger case size.

[@plauro1]

timex takes a licking but keeps on ticking

[@silvermediastudio]

250% overpriced

[@Andrew.W75]

Having a ruby on the dial 'says automatic without saying automatic' really? Manually wound watches don't have jewels then!!
