This watch grew on me. I didn't like it at first but my gf liked it. It's 3 years old now (Bought it December 2017). The battery is still good. The strap hasn't cracked or melted considering how hot my place is (34c). I too have a small wrist, but it doesn't look or feel awkward at all. The screen is clear of Gshock clutter, and the time itself is the biggest I've seen, perfect for people with bad eyesight like me. Thanks for the awesome review.
I love this watch. I wondered if I would feel like it dwarfed me but it fits really well on my 7 inch wrist. As for its functions, it's just so well thought out. Very impressed with it.
What ever your name is, God sent you ! Joking. I feel deeply thankful for how clearly you explained about the setting of this watch. I confess: I fell in love even more with this watch. Good and simple features, easy to handle. Thank you, you saved me from the nightmare it usually is having to understand a new watch. Take care bro.
"WATCH OUT" ,...for the wrist bands.As they can actually crack and come off of the hidden pin that's under those those two bolts(if you overly yank on the wrist bands).I purchased a green one (new),for $31.99 from Amazon 2 years ago.The indiglo night light bulb actually blew out,but I still wear it.
I like the watch square design very much and especially the big display but sadly some users say Timex is not that solid. I think I will go for a G-shock again.
Congratulations! The one and only UA-cam review of the Timex Grid Shock ! Now I know what is this watch about and for this I thank you! I am urgently looking for a vibration alarm watch. Which is your choice between this and Timex Shock XL?
Well i never had the Shock XL but i think it might be a bit better then the grid shock. Why? Because the Shock XL is 200 meter water resistent and the grid shock only 100. And the front "glas" seems to be better protected on the shock XL then on the grid shock. If the plastic could get scratched by putting it on a flat surface facing down then it's not the best watch for real outdoor use. But as of right now i also don't know if the shock xl has a night mode.
@@freund333 Warm thanks for your reply! I just asked a both watches owner. The answer was: - Shock XL has indeed crystal mineral glass. - Shock XL doesn't have a Night Mode. - Shock XL doesn't have a metal bezel. It's some resin. - Shock XL 's display is very ugly and it doesn't have all the info of Grid Shock. The conclusion was that the Grid Shock is 3 levels above the Shock XL and even the water resist indicator seems to be vice-versa, the Grid Shock seems better protected. I'm sold to the Grid Shock. I already ordered it and it is on it's way to my wrist. Because of you. Thanks again!
This watch also comes in an even more blacked out version. The fake allen key bolts are blacker, the face rim is blacker, and the screen colors inverted. So background is all black and the numbers and second hand are the white/grey color of the watch in the vid.
This is a very thorough review and I thank you for it! I have just purchased the black background version (Model #TW4B24900VQ) for 50 USD. I really appreciate you taking the time to show everyone how this watch works. It is one thing to have a PDF to read and try to make sense from, but it is quite another to have a video demonstration. Do you still own this watch and do you still enjoy it? Have a great day! =)
@@christopherJesus-iw7mt Oh! I waited on a sale. Patience sometimes equals paying less. You could say this Timex was on my "watch list." (See what I did there? Hah!) Have a good day!
didnt get a owners manual with mine i got used....thank you for all the info ....didnt know it did so much...even more pleased with my purchase....its a G shock killer in my opinion...best sports watch ive ever owned.
Ps: you had a great review I got this on eBay bid, for 50.00. I think it's fully worth it , thanks again for the in depth review, your the best ,, like I said before the alarms have daily, off, weekends and weekdays, cool watch ,
Best review! Thank you! It is any option how to stop the time no.2 and T3 to save some battery for example? I discover if y leave display in Hydra mode at 11min40sec or even Timer mode at 1:11:40 i will save a lot of battery from less light up display digits.
Since i don't have this watch anymore i can't really test it. But if i understand the manual correct it seems as if you can only set the vibration for the alarms but not the chime. timex.eu/cdn/shop/files/W-307.pdf?v=2158110929749870090
se malogro la luz al poco tiempo de haberlo comprado (me dicen que es imposible de reparar) y con el paso del tiempo ya no funciona la vibración en las notificaciones, me apena mucho ya que le tenia mucha fe a este reloj.
Please at least provide some links to either to buy the watch or to view the watch information on the watch website since it's a direct review of the watch...
I think this is the night mode. It means that the indiglo light turns on every time you push any button. This can be useful if you want to change a setting while it's dark. The night mode should deactivate automatically after a few hours.
Can anyone help me? Vibration keeps going off, I’m not sure how to turn it off. It’s like every 30 minutes. I don’t want any alarms but can’t seem to turn them off
Timex is great but they dropped the ball with the watch bands. They are cheap, stiff, uncomfortable black plastic. You can’t replace them , they are part of the entire watch mold. Watch:👍 Band:👎
Dude, I recently bought a similar model and was scratching my head about the settings and your video saved my day. Thanks, man!...

Thank u! Watch just arrived fresh in the mail and this saved my life 😅
I just ordered one. I like big watches with big numbers. Thank you for the video.
It’s been a few years but I just got this watch after your review. Thanks for the video!
How do you turn iff the alarm? I don’t see how to turn it off, just changing them to weekends or weekdays.
The best instruction guide I've come across so far👍🏽

The indiglo night light doesn't use a bulb since it's electroluminescence.

May I suggest the Casio GD 350 with hourly vibration feature.
Wow. Never thought I'd buy a Timex, but I'm going to now!

Thanks very much man! This review made me like the watch even more with setting up all this options. Its pretty cool. Well done !
Sorry Dude but that watch looks crazy big on your wrist. You are not pulling off the look.
Love mine wear it all the time. It reminds me of the pip boy from fallout lol its a hoot.
Exactly why I am buying one
This video helped me a lot, like i would not have know how to go about setting it. I love the watch more after getting to know how it works.
Thank you really nice review !!!
I just received my watch today

Robert De Niro’s watch in Heat. The right tool for a heist.
Sorry but thats not it. This watch wasn't even available when the movie came out. Afaik did he wear a Timex Stealth.
Great Info sir. Was clueless about a couple of things since I've brought it. Helpful video without a doubt.
Thanks again.
Great video but at 20 minutes long, I'm surprised there wasn't more detail on the chrono/timer functions and more especially the hydro function.
excellent review , going over the details others fail to mention
Thank you for the great review. Can I set a countdown timer below 1 minute?
Nevermind... I just was to impatient. You already answered my question in the video. Very detailed!
I'm going to order one from ebay how do i make sure its authentic?
Excellent review!! Thank you!
Very informative great work on the video mate

Timex does sell a replacement band for this watch
Even i liked it,even the way you explain, the way you explain in detail than other you tuber, i will definitely buy this watch, Thank you.

Is it possible to shorten the time needed to hold the button to reset the chrono?
This watch for me looks much like a mech watch. 😁
Cool video .. thanks for not getting all technical
Great review. Thank You for helping me set up my timex
I just got my new grid watch today and the INDIGLO light doesn't work.
Have you tried to change the battery? Sometimes when the battery is weak the watch still works but the indiglo doesn't anymore.
Helpful review, just got this watch for Christmas 😁
Best review! Thank you! It is any option how to stop the time no.2 and T3 to save some battery for example? I discover if y leave display in Hydra mode at 11min40sec or even Timer mode at 1:11:40 i will save a lot of battery from less light up display digits.

Love this watch!
Great thorough review! Thanks!!
What kind of battery does it take?
Nice review. I have the same Casio and today I was thinking to order the Timex one. Hmm..but probably is too big for my wrist
Most in Depth Review of this watch ever...
Very good review. Thank. Good job.
It indeed is
I like timex chronograph in blue and green strap.
I forgot to ask: Any idea about finding a protector, the kind of "metal frame" some watches have?
Thanks.
Well i have only seen those kinds of guards for some Casio G-Shock models but never for any other watch.
Excellent review. Thanks !
How much does this watch weight? Must be 100+ grams
Hi, if you hold the light button a moon appears on the right. What does it mean?
I think this is the night mode. It means that the indiglo light turns on every time you push any button. This can be useful if you want to change a setting while it's dark. The night mode should deactivate automatically after a few hours.
@@freund333 yes, correct! I just tried! Thank you 😉
good afternoon where do i get his manual?
Can you please make another video to teach how to calibrate the altimeter? I am unable to set it.
No i can't cause this watch has no altimeter. You are thinking of the Timex WS4 which looks the same.
Ok. I see. I was talking about WS4
What's your wrist size?
you save me!! thank you!!
Great guide line
What the Point when Casio 30€ watch have all the same as 80€ watch
Maybe cause Timex is made in the US instead of China, Japan or Malaysia.
I am a casio guy who owns this watch, which has things casio does not. This is a very nice watch in person.
is it big? dimension
Does anybody know how to set up the strap after the battery replacement?
hello I have this watch I love it BUT YOU MISSED THE WEEKDAYS AND WEEKENDS FUNCTION ON THE ALARMS,, SET TO 0000 THEN IT CHANGES,,
No i didn't 12:00
HA!
Where Is Made?
Can anyone help me? Vibration keeps going off, I’m not sure how to turn it off.
It’s like every 30 minutes. I don’t want any alarms but can’t seem to turn them off
Sorry for the late answer. assets.timex.com/manual/W-307.pdf

$100 for a watch with an acrylic crystal???🤯
I'll stick with G-Shock!
...hell, you can get the DW-291H (non G-Shock) with mineral glass for $40!!!
Who to turn the hydra off

@@freund333 thank you so much
I had this watch and loved it but the strap was too firm and wide for long-term wearing. Super cool watch though!
Excelente video
The Indiglo is superior but consumes a lot from the battery
Muy bien explicado
Is the crystal mineral glass, does anyone know?
It is plastic and does scratch, I have since buffed out the scratches, so my crystal is brand new and put on a screen protector.
I got a screen protector for mine. Since day one.
Hi sir can u translent the whole video in hindi langauge
You can choose Hindi in the subtitle menu 👍Happy new year 🎆
Big watch.
Will you give us a review about timex command watch
I thought about it but i think no since it's basically the exact same watch only in a different case.
Timex is great but they dropped the ball with the watch bands. They are cheap, stiff, uncomfortable black plastic. You can’t replace them , they are part of the entire watch mold. Watch:👍 Band:👎
Danke schon freund
It's not THAT big on your wrist.
Another review that just sux.
good "review" !
what is hydration shit?
You mean you don't know what the word hydration means?
Napolian your just jealous because I've been chatting with hot babes all day.
Thanks, wow that's a humongous watch. Great for sports but not so much for day to day wearing.
Boring 😴
how long does the battery last
