Good content - I just had your video pop up in my feed. I grew up with a Timex and had a soft-spot for the brand. However, bought a dive-style 50m timex a few years ago and it died on my wrist while biking through a torrential downpour. Since then I have been wary, but this looks like the one for me now! I would say that a daily hot shower is probably a better test of a waterproof watch, than sending it down 200m!
Thank you! I definitely think some of the previous Timex models had some issues. That is why I stayed away from them. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by this one! 🤙🤙
Hi Tony- I must say, I saw a hell lot of videos on UA-cam where people shout you to buy this or that watch, but the casual and chill approach that you have is the best. I love it. No nonsense, seems like we are just having a conversation. And I ordered expedition after watching this. Now can you tell me where did you get the strap from? I am gonna customize it too to look just like yours. Thanks man. 😊 cheers for another miller !
I found one on eBay for a sweet price. It's a great little watch for the money. I really enjoy it and it's in my regular rotation among the Gallet, Eberhard, and Hamiltons..
Excellent review! I had the same problem with Seiko and I sent it to the Seiko Service Center in NJ. Then was $140 which is about the price of the watch but I do not care because it works great!!!!
- I have a micro brand field watch with a Seiko movement that improved after a few months of wearing it. Ya, I’ve never been impressed with Luminox. I like that Timex, wish they did away with the display back in order to make it slimmer.
I bought my watch as soon as Timex released it as a standard issue (it was previously a joint Timex/James Brand colab limited edition) and love it. My watch was very accurate right out of the box, so I had no break in period to wait for it to be useful. I also swapped it out with a Barton silicone strap which is miles ahead of the crappy leather band it comes on. I wish i knew how to cannibalize that cool titanium buckle to the Barton like you did... it looks great. FWIW... I like my watch so much that I bought a second one just to keep new-in-box just incase my watch fails or is lost or stolen. I know this won't be around forever and I'd hate not having it.
Thanks appreciate the video, my only push back is on the Miyota movement. I'm a weeb and firmly believe, like Marty McFly, that 'all the best stuff comes from Japan.'
I just bought this watch it came in yesterday. The only thing I have against it is it doesn't have military time. I do have a hamilton Khaki automatic and a seiko 5, and they both have military time. Also, the strap kinda feels cheap , but I can change.
Thanks for sharing that dope Timex bradda T! When the Subs not on my wrist I've been wearin a Citizen BN0150 diver. Beach, hiking, banged up & down. Doesn't tick on all the markers & date window sucks but this quartz keeps perfect time always & the thing is a glow monster! Best Prime day deal for $150! Better than any of my Seikos that always end up way off time too! No Citizen AD waitlist either & actually cheaper on the gray market too lol !! Aloha my man!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I got the watch for about a week! I’m happy about the time keeping its 7 seconds a day! But the watch died after 5 days! I had to manually rewind it. So it last 5 days while wearing so I need to wind the watch after a few days! I hadn’t this problem with swatch automatic sisten51 had this watch for 2 weeks and I never had to wind the watch. So verdict is: this watch doesn’t charge a lot you need to wind the watch at 4 days so it doesn’t stop
I wear a Timex Scout field watch or a G shock classic solar , I might get a Seiko 5 Sports Flieger Automatic Black and Orange, Tissot Automatic Watch with a pocket watch movement if I can find one.
This watch caught my eye and I'm not a watch guy but my grandfather had a Hammonton from Vietnam and loved how it glowed in the dark. And this reminded me of it. Should I just buy this or the Hammonton?

Was watching the new CBS show, Tracker.. The main character is wearing this Timex.. They showed a long closeup of the watch.. Definitely this piece..
Cool.
Love timex for me it was always was the common man’s watch.
Love mine as well! 🤙🤙
Thanks man , keep it up, glad to see ur cat giving looks😂
Thank you.
Just discovered you Tony. Love your relaxed style .I’m gonna hang around ,even though I hate Rolex lol.
Thanks man! I appreciate it. I do tend to do a lot of vids on Rolex though. 🤙🤙
I have one, bought off ebay uk second hand but looked brand new. Best £240 iv ever spent although the straps not the best..
Awesome! Just put a new rubber/silicone on it. Much better than the OEM strap!

I really liked Luminox. After two back to back failures I’m done. The Timex is a perfect beater. I agree, no need for display back.

That’s awesome man! I love hearing stories like that! Enjoy it and wear in good health!! 🤙🤙
I have the same watch. Keeps great time. I was looking at luminox but now I won’t bother. Wear it in good health. 👍
Cool! Thank you!

Hi Tony Timex have just dropped a new watch, the Expedition GMT Titanium.
What do you think mate? I can't find any reviews on youtube yet.
Hey man, I don’t know anything about that watch. They make good watches though for the price points.
I just bought this watch it came in yesterday. The only thing I have against it is it doesn't have military time. I do have a hamilton Khaki automatic and a seiko 5, and they both have military time. Also, the strap kinda feels cheap , but I can change.

Hey Bradda! Glad you liked the video. They can’t all be about Rolex right?? 😂 Citizen are cool watches as well! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Great video Tony!
Thank you! 🤙🤙

I have to wind mine every day. 4 days is excellent.
Timex, takes a licking and, keeps on ticking.
That it does!! 🤙🤙
Great video 🎉
Thank you!
That Shirt tho 🔥🔥
You got one coming man! 🤙🤙
Great review! My name is Toni to!
Awesome! 🤙🤙
Ask watch ball if I need one of the new Breitling Premier 42mm, say in that gorgeous blue dial. I want one, that’s not the question 😅
I’ll ask! 😂😂
hey what strap is that? I just got the white dial version james brand collab and I think it's a nice daily driver.. Thank you!
It’s just a basic rubber strap from Strapsco.com
How would you compare your Timex to a Boderry titanium auto field watch or Bertucci titanium field watch ?
I don’t know anything about those other watches. Sorry.
4:40 look at that superstar in the background 🥰
That would be Uku! 🤙🤙

I don’t know Hammonton watches.
It’s too bad it’s not a bit thinner..pretty sure they could do that.. I’m still eyeing it… we’ll see..
🤙🤙
May i know the size of the silver bracelet? is it 7mm? thanks sir!
Yes you may. I believe it’s 7 or 7.5. 🤙🤙
Need a version around 38mm
🤙🤙
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I've had your intro song in my head for about three weeks now. 😅
Lol, all good! I appreciate it! 🤙🤙
Does it have a hacking movement?
Hey man, yes it hacks.
What’s the strap you put it on? Looks great
It’s made by Barton. Silicone for about $20. Thanks!
nevermind yourself with a LumiNox. Get yourself a BERTUCCI
they are good! their bands are amazing as well!
Cool. 🤙🤙
What strap did you put on it ?
I can’t remember. Maybe got it from Strapsco.
Hello there, could you suggest me few very tough watches ?
Tudor Pelagos, Rolex Sub, Omega Seamaster etc. There are a lot. I would Google it as well.
@@talkingtimepieceswithtony thank you...not too expensive though. May be under $400
Can I ask what strap you are using?
I can’t remember the brand. But I got it at Strapsco.
Hey sell me that luminox I fixed a sentry blackout, I also sleep with my sentry
🤙
dont go on exspedition with the timex exspedition north..
🤙🤙
Some eco friendly bullshit strap 😂 not wrong about that
🤙🤙
Not supposed to wear it in the shower or sauna.
I do and have had no issues.
I did diving and swimming, without any problem
Where did you get that strap with titanium buckle?
Too much $$$ for a 8215. Way too much.
🤷
