Perhaps I just haven't looked properly but I think you've managed to do something unique here. Yes it's tied to a particular watch purchase but it's a beautiful look at the history of a watch type I've never seen done this way before.

Very well done. I retired from the army and still have my little quartz timed with plastic case. Still runs. I put new battery in at Christmas . Don’t wear it anymore as the case is cracked and I don’t want to lose it

Some videos claim the 30M water resistance means it is not suitable for swimming or showering. Is that accurate? 30M is almost 100'. Very few people would ever dive that deep. What do you think? By the way - fascinating history of an iconic watch. Keep them coming!

Very insightful review. Well told, objective, & genuinely (no bias) delivered. Affordable watches rock. I own a few including this one which I bought during the first months of the pandemic. No issues 3 yrs after . Battery is still the original one. I also have a Vostok Scubadude 420059. Given to me by my daughter. Would be more than glad to be interviewed to feature the watch on this channel. Thanks.

if Timex put their minds to it, they could make a watch that could compete with Rolex. Rolex is high dollar by name at this point. but i think they would do better, Japanese R&D and quality control are second to none.
@wristrants
@wristrants Год назад
They're actually good at their current position in the market. Let them make cheap watches for collectors like me who don't have the money for a Rolex. Haha.
