Ten Important Things About The Best Q Yet: Timex Chronograph Watch Review 

Thanks for watching! Don't forget to turn up your quality to HD as I shoot in 4K. Tell me what you think of the Q in the comments below.

Thanks for the in depth view. i'm 35 and have never been into watches at all. When I saw this watch, I instantly bought and has opened up a whole new love for watches and appreciation for artistry I never knew existed. I think I am perhaps the target market for this so I think it's a great starter pickup.

This is how watch reviews should be done. You covered all bases comprehensively. Definitely going to pick this piece up, regardless of it’s flaws. They are fun watches to wear and I am finding it difficult to remove their 38mm mechanical field watch from my wrist. This is currently getting more wrist time than my Tudor and Omega. Go figure….

I'm glad you mentioned about that stop/start feature, no one else has mentioned that yet. Great review!

This is the first time I've seen one of your reviews. You have a new fan. Love the format, the presentation and the videography. Congrats on a great channel. You've also convinced me that the new Q Chrono is going to be my next watch. Cheers Brother!

Great review. I appreciate the structure you applied to the review and your inclusion of the fun to wear factor.

Great review, great video. Just got my bracelet version yesterday, and I’m loving it. I’m even a big fan of the “Q”, it really works on this watch.

That’s how you review a watch! Not quite for me but I feel like I totally “get it”. Great job.

With that background music, feels like I finally know the purpose of life after watching the whole video. I like how you represent and review the watch. I've got one and I love it!

I’m really surprised I have never heard about you. I love the format of your videos and the opinions that you bring to the table you. You just a new subscriber lol😅

Thanks for the bracelet review That was the exact thing i was looking for!

Great and comprehensive review - thank you. I have the original pepsi-bezel Q Timex and I have a tough time taking it off I love it so much. Sure, Timex doesn't offer the best specs for the money, and you're not going to impress the hot girl at the bar when you wear it. But my mother wore a Timex when when she moved to Canada from Grenada in 1967. As a kid I had a Timex Mickey Mouse watch and, later, a Timex Superman watch. The brand will always hold a special place in my heart.

I agree with you on a lot of points, but definitely not #7. The “Diver” mixup was hilarious, I caught that too! I’ve been wearing mine for two days now and I’m loving it. The design and function is perfect for my active lifestyle. It’s the first time I’ve worn a watch daily for years and so far so good. I think the design is fantastic and it isn’t too huge looking for my tiny wrists, I only have one link in from smallest.

I like your review style, is the first time I see your chanel. Great Job!! Kind regards Mr.!!

Very instructive, thanks. I learned that its movement is not the same Seiko mecaquartz movement found in most of the other similar type chronographs, in that the reset of those is the "snap to" variety (flyback). However, those do not have a date feature and they don't "catch up" between successive pushes of the start button. I think I prefer the Timex.

Thanks for the review. Very informative and helpful.

This was my one drawback was the Top Pusher "Non Feel" when engaging. That would be my only gripe. for $200 its a Solid Watch that looks Good and Feels Good.. With the Vintage Racer Reverse Panda Dial.. Its still a Solid Watch from a respected Company

Thanks for the video. Timex is killing it over the past couple years. I have booking for a decent deal on the Galli S1. They went into oblivion for decades...They have been kicking field goals with their last bunch of releases. For dust, try a bounce sheet...even I wonder if this will work. Cheers from Atlantic Canada!!

Great review. This watch is great to look at from a far, but not to own. Something I'd pass by and say 'oh look at that', and keep moving.

Best review I've seen so far!

I agree with you 100%. I have a timex Q sprite dail and it brings a smile to my face every time I wear it. Timex has a certain charm my other watches don't have even if they are more expensive.

Excellent, honest review! I really like the looks of this Timex. I’m wondering if the bracelet can be bought independently from the watch as I would want both, strap and bracelet. I’ve watched several reviews on this watch and this is by far the best review. Honest and measured insight. Thanks for the review, sir!

Wow great video and review. I recently tried the cream dial on leather and was pleasantly surprised

Absolutely excellent, so interesting to look at fit and finish as I'm OCD and have ordered this one, fortunately on leather, in the description on the site where I brought it, it says mineral crystal, will let you know my thoughts when I receive, Thanks again, have btw subscribed

Fab review. Thanks from Manchester UK.

Nice vid Alton, as always! "not a wookie´s nightmare" - sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣. So I was right they just forgot thr "R"! And what right to exist has a chrono under water?? I think there are a few (Damasko, TAG,...) diver chronos. But there is no need for it. And the tachymeter scala...to calculate the time for the shark to approach? Btw: When we tell Timex about their spelling mistake, will we become employee of the month? Go on, Alton 👍

Great review Alton, I bought one, but the Hudson Bay was having their Bay days sale and they had 20% off however they didn’t have the bracelet version. So I got the one on the leather strap. I really wanted the bracelet version but we will see I will review it soon

An amazing watch. Timex nailed this and i love most of the thing about the watch. Id this comes with a sapphire crystal then even better. A great bargain and i am wearing this watch as i type.

Great video you Crazy Canuck! It’s a 200$ Timex and it will never be perfect yet there is something about this watch that makes it more interesting than a 15,000$ Rolex. It’s in my basket. I just purchased the Timex Waterbury « El Primero » chrono (arriving tomorrow) and the Timex Pan Am chrono (arriving at the end of the month). Timex is putting out some amazing time pieces these days! I love the Q, Timex now over 80 years old* is the king of Quartz and should wear it proudly! I love my mechanicals and automatics but unlike most watch snobs I respect the quartz, especially with over 100 watches in the collection! (Resetting time at every watch swaps). * 170 years since the creation of the original Waterbury Clock Company that became Timex! That’s a rich history!

That pause is to lap time so you can count the time of the laps of anything write it down and then the time will catch up to the running total time

Great review! Do you think we can replace the clasp with after market clasp with micro adjustment? I'm thinking about going for the bracelet, but I'm not gonna be happy if the fit is bad

Good and complete review with amazing video editing skills. Very well inspired and done! What is your microphone please?

The 4:30 date is probably my FAVORITE date position as I don't like replacing a hour marker with the date

Great review, I own one and I love it. I put it on a Seiko quartz bracelet from the 70’s or 80’s which has micro adjustments, I have two videos on my channel if you want to see.

Well done 👍 this video sealed the deal on the subscribe button

I like yr common sense review iv got 1 on order from Amazon for £116.49 uk price I lv the look iv already got sekio panda solar speedmarster I know that is a much better watch but I had a new timex as a child I like the 5 year battary life and anyone can change battary there self u gave a good review thank u col

Really like the watch!

How about strap options? Would be nice a video with different straps or bracelets. Great video

I fell in love with this black version and bought it. For the life of me I had one heck of a time reading the time. I definitely needed my glasses and/or the light striking the hands juuuust right in order to get a read. I was heartbroken. So I gave it to my one of my teenagers with perfect vision and he is quite happy with it. Thus my "needs improvement" is 1. Better, more contrasting hands and 2. Better LUME! I have two other Timexes and the lume is HORRIBLE on the as well...Timex, why bother if you can't even *try* to get it right? But at the end of the day, give me the same watch but with dramatically improved time hands and I will buy it as it's just such a looker!

Hey man, “ the channels “ are for bull bars / bump bars, same ones that fit on a g-shock

I love it

Couldn't justify the price (and flaws) of the Seiko speedtimer, so picked this up as soon as I saw it. The lume is pathetic, the lack of microadjustment is irksome and the Q lacks sophistication. But for the money it's a charming little thing. A homage to the Daytona, speedmaster and the Royal Oak. Love it.

Received mine today. People are bizarre! Another review lauded Timex for NOT using mineral glass or sapphire! Philosophy was "acrylic scratches easily but the scratches are easily buffed out." Dunn'o. Not my opinion. My Pagani Panda has sapphire. Wish this one did too but "it is what it is." And what it is is not too shabby at all. Very beautiful and I am happy with it. Had to deal with pushing out pins to resize the bracelet. Not fun. Pagani has screw pins . . . much better. As far as the Q at 12 o'clock . . . no matter to me although I'd probably not done that had I been on the design team. As for the lume . . . yah, pretty weak. Like why did they even bother?

Hi HPB. I am looking for this watch in the US (chicago area) and I have no clue where I can find it online, Can you help?

Stopping the chrono hand, and then it catching up once re-engaged is a split function used to time finish time splits between, in this case racing drivers.

Hi, which version would you recommend? The Panda or the Reverse Panda? Mainly for casual, but also for business

Looking for an old style Chronograph for later, this is really something. The battery door is a super feature. The Q is something I don't understand yet.

It's been a while since I've watched one of your videos, however this one is very well produced. It kinda makes me jealous ;-) But I'm learning! I would love to have this watch, but for some reason I don't even wear the Timex watches I already have.

@halfpastblog can you review timex TW2V42500? it looks very similar to Q but only its a waterbury.

i wonder if its possible to swap out acrylic to saffire

watching your video from Brazil. I urgently need to import this watch to may home.

I'd enjoy a more detailed comparison of the DrIVER to the PD chrono. I know you mentioned the Timex being more "fun", but is that just the new toy syndrome?

how would one go about swapping bracelets on this watch? i like the watch, but i'd really like to have a better bracelet. i've never seen an aftermarket bracelet formatted to go from 18 to 22 before.

Can you change the bands?

I would be willing to pay $100 more for better fit and finish, better lume and sapphire crystal.

Which version was 38mm?

Can you just leave the large second hands going?

TIMEX has made some really bad watches lately but with this one it looks like i will finally add a TIMEX to my collection!

Has it got a alarm ?

This watch is perfect but i hate that Q at 12. Trying to look for something similar

I'd prefer this to the latest Seiko chronos, I'm just not that into quartz.

its a split timer, for when you are timing more than 1 that starts at the same time...

Nice wookie's arms reference! I've felt sooo identified! vHahahaha!

Still cant find stocks here in Philippines, always out of stock. 😅😅

I replaced the clasp as soon as I got this watch. Other than that, it's fantastic

All I want is a running rank of the best watches

The second pushing to stop the stopwatch and restart is called lap timing. Jesus, do you know what a chronograph is for?

Q 👍

I thought the movement is an Epson

Damn what a shame, initially looks great but just too many negatives

The lug width ruins this watch

Am I first

8 1/2 wrist 😂

you cant even get one now

You can't say readability, ever. Thats wrong. Getting the language right is as important as the information about the watch. Ism't it?

The Q at twelve o'clock is enough for me to be not interested. Bad design decision.

Reverse panda was too into my face (almost reminded me daytona) Thus, Ended up ordering dark blue one (almost reminded me Tissot PRX chronograph) Which will be completing my 3 watch collection (TW2W51600UJ,TW2V42400UJ & TWEG17404)
