Thank you again Gary! You have a great collection and an eye for a sweet deal my friend. Not a spec monster, and please don't think it is a luxury watch, nor anything like it. But for a very attractive Pepsi GMt at a fraction of the cost of the big Swiss boys, this is great. Just make sure you pick it up at the best possible discount. Cheers, Jody

Seems like a perfect “I dont care if this gets stolen” travel watch

@timepiece_enthusiast 2 года назад

exactly what I was thinking...

@Nathanmorgan78 Год назад

Well, it's been impossible to get, so I'd care.

@louisvuitton56 Год назад

Exactly, for the price I usually do that up my nose on a weekend so don’t care if it gets stolen

@nickmartin9460 5 месяцев назад

Exactly why I just picked one up one eBay for $80. International flight here we come!

@Adwnpinoy310 5 месяцев назад

@@nickmartin9460great deal! Btw, if you don’t like the ticking hand, I had the seconds hand removed. It still looks perfectly natural because of the GMT hand.

@Jaredkoby 2 года назад

I’ve had this watch for over a month now and I completely agree with everything you said! Side by side with the 3 hand it looks like an “upgraded” model. Timex did a fantastic job with this one!

@gamesetmatt23 2 года назад

This is the first Timex Q that I actually am interested in. The small upgrades really make a difference. Love the faded pepsi colours. Just gorgeous! 😍

@apeekintime 2 года назад

Nice update for the Q. I have the 3 hand auto reissue and I love it. First thing I did was buy a cheap casio and do a strap swap to save my arm hair. Mine doesn't get that much wrist time since I wear my watches while lifting weights and I prefer whatever watch I put on in the morning to be able to whatever I do during the day. The Timex reissues tend to lack the specs for an active lifestyle. Even though it is one my cheapest watches it mostly gets worn on date nights (except movies because the lume stinks).

@Ashfielder 2 года назад

Planning on doing some travelling around Europe this summer, so I’ll probably go for a nice budget GMT. This one is tempting.

@HaonProductions 2 года назад

Definitely keeping my eye out for a sale on this one. Looks really good, even with the new bracelet I'd probably throw this on some nice stitched leather or maybe a rally strap to really get my vintage fix.

@VinnyTheCuz 2 года назад

Great video Jodi! I was wondering if the bezel is of the friction type and if the GMT hand jumps from one position to another instead of moving like a minute hand? Thanks

@friscochoctaw 2 года назад

I was full aware of the typical Timex draw backs, but the Rhonda Mvt sealed it for me. Thanks for the reassurance that this was not a horrible purchase. I did buy the PVD Gunmetal and plan to put an NATO strap (gasp) RAF (50/50 crimson/red and navy blue with a thin white stripe separating the two) from the Regimental Shop in the UK. (Two JOMW uh-oh’s. 🤣) This will serve as just a fun little trip watch. It indeed does help to sign up for the notices. I signed up about two weeks ago, saw the notice in my junk box this morning and bought the next-to-last one available and at 20%. Shipping was free for me, so after tax about $179 USD. It doesn’t matter the color scheme, they are ALL GOING FAST, so I reiterate, sign up for the notices. Just like the Q three hand and M79, I don’t see these ending production in the near future.

@brianmsahin 2 года назад

Excellent review Jody. It's a nostalgic piece but I still think they should have upped their game in terms of the crystal, domed mineral or even sapphire and add on the cost, plus at least some usable lume. Despite the improvements over the last one, I think they missed an opportunity here to have a huge hit with this one. With my outdoor activities and general clumsiness it wouldn't be long before I put big polywatch resistant scratches on it. The Phoibos is probably a much better buy. I remember many years ago my late dad always saying Timex is shxxte, so maybe that's still colouring my opinion! But it will definitely be popular with many people. If it had glass I might even have bought it.

@Sethw1984 2 года назад

I was able to get the Batman version from Uncrate after a few restocks. Loving it! Pro tip - signing up for Timex emails with give you the 15% off, but it does expire after a week or two. You're better off waiting until they are back in stock and then signing up.

@adwnpinoy 2 года назад

Surprisingly, the Timex website still took my months-expired 15% off code. But your tip is probably the safer way to go.

@jwags24 2 года назад

I have it and love it. It’s the first timex I have where the second hand hits all of the markers.

@randyhamzah7511 2 года назад

How’s the friction bezel? Is it feels loose like the 3 hander or much better?

@Mr_Memer.876 2 года назад

I have this watch, it's a cracking little thing and much improved over the original. I actually prefer the old Q bracelet as I'm not very hairy. An alternative bracelet is to swap it out for a Milanese mesh from a Casio A700... Or buy a Skmei for £10 and take the bracelet from that as a cheaper alternative. You can also swap the clasp out relatively easily if you have an 18mm clasp lying around.

@damyr 2 года назад

Nah, for that money, Phoibos is better and prettier. And I don't even need to mention heaps of Casio models (Lineage series). But I want to know, is it still ticking so loudly that even your neighbors will call the police thinking someone set a time-bomb in vicinity?

@thinredline2795 2 года назад

I like it. I like that they don't have the peace symbol in the hour hand. I like that the bezel looks a little faded. I'm glad they make a batman version. I also liked the GMT Timex made a couple years ago. I think it was called the Allied 3 GMT. It had Indiglo.

Does the battery hatch make the watch feel uneven on the wrist? I'd much rather have a flat screw down case back that might raise the water resistance as well.

Looks quite nice but too small for me. I also see comments about the movement, which I can't comment on with any kind of authority. But, I have the Pagani Design Pepsi GMT with the Pearl movement, and have to say, its been perfect since I've had it - about 12 months. Better size, I changed the bracelet to a jubilee, and I love it. And it was a lot less than this Quartz. Great review as always though. 👍

I think I'd like a coke bezel variant. I like the idea of a quartz GMT. I assume it might be easier to keep set at the correct time(s) if you cycle multiple watches in your collection and don't want to wear this thing every other day.

@friscochoctaw 2 года назад

Everything I have heard is that a quartz GMT regardless of aesthetics makes for the most accurate travel watches bar none (why do you think military pilots use G-shocks - rough and tumble, sure, but you can have multiple time zones in the digi part, altitude on some models, and that good ol’ Casio Japan Mvt). If you are considering buying this watch or any of its variants, definitely sign up for notices. I got the email this morning and bought the next-to-last PVD Gunmetal watch before 9:30AM Central Daylight Time.

@bogrot69 2 года назад

A vast improvement over the original Q Re-issue. They seem to be milking the original with about 50 different colorways now. The Malibu Collection in pinks and pastel colors. It's a bit ridiculous. I sent my first Q back. After paying almost 300 dollars Canadian for it , it just felt a bit too rickety for the price. Particularly after just receiving my Helm Vanuatu at a similar cost. I just couldn't justify it. The GMT looks promising though. We'll see how much Canada gets dinged for one 😁

I feel like the Rotary's have some really nice Budget GMTs. It manages to not look like a homage too, in pepsi or batman flavours. And Timex itself has the Waterbury GMT. I find my GMT really useful, so I'm always looking for a 4 hander, but the reason I've kept away from Timex is the customer support, I've heard it's dreadful.
