Those of us that like Seiko watches, or other affordable mechanical automatic watches, have always wondered "Should we even try a Timex? Is it worth my time?" I know I have always wanted to try this newer line of the Timex Navi XL automatic watches. Enjoy this hands on review!

Got one on its way. $100 usd pre-owned and in excellent condition. I have to say the pictures in the listing dont do this justice. Thanks for the excellent video

I got the green navi, way better watch than what I was expecting. I believe it is a miyoto 8215 movement 6 beats/sec. Would have never bought this watch but I had loyalty points to use & picked this up for free. The dial is great to look at. I would happily purchase this watch with real money.

I got this watch the other day and I love it, I got it for 25% off! I love the military style and color of the watch and just the black aesthetic looks great. This is my first automatic watch purchase and it looks beautiful! My only negative is the band seems a little short, but I think you could probably change if you really want. If you have bigger wrists you will definitely need to buy a bigger strap.

I'm thinking about getting this watch to add to my collection. I have a lot of Timex watches, vintage compass and most of the new compass, tide, temp as well as several chronograph flybacks and linear chronographs. The black one is back in stock for 269.00. on the Timex site.

Nice review! I purchased an automatic Timex recently, mainly to "reward" the brand for their efforts to bring back automatic watch options. It wasn't too long ago that Timex had little to no automatic watches and now they have multiple choices. So I found an automatic Timex Waterbury dress watch on sale and jumped on it. Not unhappy at all! If folks want Timex to continue to focus on automatics, they can help by supporting the brand and buying one.

Love the look of this watch. How is your experience with it keeping time? I had a flyback chronographer from Timex that I wore faithfully for a couple years. I recently sold it and am looking to get something new. This looks like a nice upgrade. A quality watch that looks nice but also not too expensive that I wouldn't be afraid if it took a little bit of wear and tear. Thanks for the great review!

Aesthetically I like it overall but it seems like some extra frills where minimalism might have better suited a piece at this price point. I think the date magnifier is ugly and I actually don’t like the hole opening on the hands or the military time numbers. If you can tell military time you don’t need either of those things. I’d prefer it shrunk 1mm and scrap all the extra stuff.
@threehandhunter
@threehandhunter 2 года назад
Great suggestions. As you get older you may appreciate the magnifier 😉

I let the Timex go. But I am a Seiko, Citizen and Orient fan. But I can honestly say this one is made very well and does keep up with those brands at that price point of about $200

Great video! Do you know if this design is original or a homage/copy?

I think it is a bit of a homage to a Rolex Explorer. Or, takes a lot of cues. But not a direct homage I don't think.

mistake not having a sapphire glass, and the Movement could be better.. could have used a SH35 in this price range. I think timex is GOING in the right direction, they have the heritage, they have some Original designs ( not this one ) and they have potential to turn it around. Miyota 8000 movement btw not 9000.

If they made a no date version. With hacking. I would pick up one up immediately. Timex is so close on a lot of their new releases.
@threehandhunter
@threehandhunter 2 года назад
I agree about the no date. The hacking is not as big of a deal to me over the years. A good grab and go is I glance at the computer time, quickly set my watch to "about the time" and run out the door. Of course, not every watch....but on a few I don't mind so much. But you are right, they are moving closer every new release!

@Boggsy. 2 года назад
Funny enough I came across a version on eBay “END TIMEX NAVI XL Collaboration TWG022100” and it’s almost exactly that… dunno about the hacking, but I’m doubtful. Unfortunately the “END” branding might override the fact that it’s missing the Date (and magnifier) and got rid of 13-24. It’s also about 50 dollars less, if that helps.

The 24-hr arabics just look odd to me. They're small and look out of place with respect to the rest of the dial. Lumed, larger 24-hr numbers replacing the indices would look very interesting.
