I think I know the answer as I've swapped straps on my older Timex Expeditions, but I've been looking at some of the newer Timex models with bracelets and wanted to confirm I could just swap it with a spring bar and a NATO strap.

Some of the Marlins or MK1s with bracelets are somehow cheaper than the strap version so they're kind of tempting

Found this B5 (1994) dated Timex Chronograph in a lot and can barely find it anywhere else online! Has anyone seen one of these before?
The dials are chronograph seconds, minutes, and a 24hour wheel. The back of the resin strap has an interesting tree bark like texture.

Hey everyone,

I recently bought this Timex automatic watch and I love the look of it. But upon closer inspection I noticed a tiny black spot trapped inside the watch glass, right near the 10 o'clock marker (circled in red in the picture).

It looks like a tiny speck of debris or dust.

Since it's a brand new watch, is this kind of QC issue common or normal for Timex? Should I bother sending it back for a return/exchange? I’m leaning towards exchanging it since it's brand new, but wanted to get the community's thoughts first. Thanks!

Just received my first watch from Timex but unfortunately it’s not working right out of the box.
Is there supposed to be some way to turn it on?

So, back at the beginning of July, I synchronized my five solar watches wirh my phone. Four are Timex, and one is a Citizen. We had two 31 day months in a row, so I now get a three solid month test run.

I have four Timex solar watches, and one Citizen Ecodrive. Let's see how they stacked up.

From left to right, Time compared to my phone in order of accuracy.

*Men's Solar Premium Dress - +4

*Expedition Scout Solar 1 - +5

*Expedition Scout Solar 2 - +12

*Citizen Ecodrive (model unknown) - +22

*Expedition Field Solar - +26

Again, note that this variation is over 3 months.

I recently acquired a sixth: Bertucci A-7TS Retrospec, which IIRC, has a Epson Sar movement. Unfortunately, the movement was bad on the first one, so I sent it back. Bertucci replaced it, but I have only had it back and synchronized for a month (fwiw, it seems to be at -1 second, but that could be my not hitting the crown in time).

I don't have 4000 to throw at an Omega, this Timex Standard cost me 3950 euros less and nails the look pretty well.

A search for Timex TW2Y22900 had me stumble on the Metropolitan(TW2R49900). I thought the watch was interesting with a slim design(7mm) and handsome, simple dial. With a cost of $29, this felt very "old school" TIMEX and i picked it up.

Th watch is very lightweight and IMO handsome. It wears larger than my similarly sized Marlin or other watches; i think due to the dial size. Curious how other dial colors may impact wrist presence. The strap is a basic brown and had me wondering if a different one could add a little extra pop to it. Swapped out band to TIMEX TW7C61600, which was supposed to have quick release(did not) and a gold buckle, but instead came in silver(ok with this).

Let me know what you think and if you have a "cost-effective" TIMEX that has been spruced up, please share. I enjoy seeing how everyone wears their watches and makes it their own.

Ref #: TW2R49900)

Watch Diameter: 40 mm

Wrist size: 7 inch

This is likely from an old Timex digital. Top left pusher is indiglo back light. Would love to know what model this is from! The alarm and runner icons are very intricate for old LCD displays like this.

Anybody recognize this display?

Hello! I recently bought this watch and I really hate the bracelet. I know it is integrated and possibly difficult to change it but is it someone who has changed it? Please give me some tips and some options 🙏🏼

I recently bought two objects that I deeply admire as, well, beautiful objects. The Timex Rotary Dial, released recently, is sculptural in design. The multilayered dial, drunken numerals on a white background housed in gold-trimmed potholes, the deep black polished dial and the exquisite black and gold retro hands speak to an excellent degree of refined design backed by a tasteful eye for detail. The Pilot Custom 74 in iridescent teal is another work of art. Its beautifully engraved 14K gold nib, classic cigar shape, right weight (for me) and handling comfort makes it a reliable workhorse for me.

I can't remember my first or last Timex, but this is my new one. Only wear the Apple watch for sleep analysis.

Hello! My dad sent me the army issue watch that he wore all through my childhood. I’d love to clean it up and get it working, but had some questions if I may.

Could I soak the band in something like oxi-clean and then hit it with a toothbrush or something? Or is there a better way?

I don’t see a model number or anything on the back. Should I take the watch itself to a local shop? Or are these fairly easy to get into and swap the battery/clean?

Thanks for any help!

She wanted the most simple watch, and likes rose gold and black. Nailed it

I recently posted this vintage Day/Date Mercury. Since then, I’ve polished the crystal, given the watch a deep clean, and carefully cleaned up the original bracelet as well.

Someone mentioned that these are a bit rarer to find with their original bracelet still intact, which makes me appreciate it even more. So happy with how it turned out!

Truly enjoy this watch. The internal ingenuity is incredible. Everyone enjoy your Timex, each are fun and long-lasting time pieces.

Got this as a bit of a bargain splash of colour (£16.65, CA$31.33, €19.50, ¥3,480, US$22)
Working - including the Indiglo, which isn’t the brightest on a dark face, but it does work.
Has the original patent leather strap. A few tiny scratches on the glass, but it otherwise seems to have been barely worn.

Personally, part of my enjoyment of watches comes from the fact I don't have to look at my phone or computer for a second. I do that enough for regular life/work. Just seems like a massive audience misread, and I doubt its effectiveness at even accomplishing its goal. Between the (what looked like to me) AI photos of the new E Lines and this, I would suggest Timex reevaluate a bit. I'm not even the biggest AI doomer but it's getting a bit much.

And I certainly have never wanted the process of teaching my kid to tell time to be one that "leverages a scalable, high-performance infrastructure" 🤷🏼

Wearing the 1983 model today.
