  • In this video we are looking at the amazing Timex Q chronograph on Jazz vibes.
    A quartz watch, made so well... that puts to shame the hyped Moonswatch.
    Let's see why!

      @@nbcuni Why not if you like it? I own several expensive watches (Sea Dweller, a couple of Omegas, a vintage Longines) but also a Dan Henry, Steinhart, Hamilton, Seiko, etc. A few months ago, I was given some old watches (Timex, another Longines, an old Seiko, etc) I'm all about "If you like it, wear it" personally I don't care about brands and lately I have found better designs coming from microbrands.

    Brilliant summary of the Q Chrono ! Thank you! - I ordered 2, one with the bracket and one with black leather, both reverse panda - also note some design elements which remind me not only of the Rolex Daytona but also of the Tudor Black Bay Chrono reverse panda. For me the design is a winner ( I already own an Omega Speedmaster but I still couldn't resist this Q Chrono !)

    FIrst I thoroughly enjoy your review format, you get directly to the point and relay the information that watch collectors are searching. Like many, my first thought was "Ah, Rolex Daytona!". Though Timex has nailed this wristwatch almost perfectly, I can't get past that domed/bubble glass. TOO much unwanted reflections, which is why Rolex(and many others) are flat. The second item, though not that critical, but would make the watch truly stand out is the semi-tick sweeping movement of the seconds hand. Time would truly knock it out of the park if they could transition to a smooth quartz sweeping second hand movement. I don't know how difficult that is to insert, but I have a fairly inexpensive wall clock that has a smooth quartz sweeping second hand. I want to love this watch, truly I do, but I find myself looking back toward a Bulova Precisionist.

Hopefully I can find a bracelet or nice rubber strap to fit. I just love how the lugs arnt separate where the watch and bracelet come together seamlessly. Oh well I'm on the notification list and the waterbury will be the first to start my collection.

    Great video! But READ THIS before you buy this watch. I really wanted to love this watch but the chronograph hand wasnt lined up, and I wore it outside in the cold one time and condensation formed under the glass. Apparently I'm not the only one this happened to. An autorized dealer in Demmark actually issues a warning with this watch:
    "Rapid changes in temperature can cause condensation inside the watch. If you notice moisture beneath the glass, you should immediately go to a watchmaker, who can open and dry the watch. If condensation occurs, it very rarely (if ever) depends on manufacturing, so if your watch is damaged by moisture, warranty will probably not cover it."
    I returned it and bought a True North Vintage Rally Timer. It looks almost exactly the same but better. Its 38mm, has normal lugs, and no giant Q on the dial. I now have 2 different ones and I enjoy them so much that I quit wearing my Rolex Sub. Check my channel for an unboxing. Also give this guy props for the hard work he put into this phenomenal video!

    Quite an impressive watch and great deal. Perfect size, nice ergonomics, fantastic price.
    It blows the MoonSwatch (total waste of money) away on all fronts.
    There's only one thing that turns me off to considering it as an additional to my collection. That's the 24H sundial. Such a useless complication. So, almost perfect, but I can't compromise on my dislike of the 24H sundial. So unfortunate Timex didn't consider using that space to put a 1/10 sec sundial as in their Waterbury collection.

It points towards the racing heritage they allude to here, where there are occasions where a 24 Hour measurement comes into play (think 24h of Le Mans) 2. It is a day/night display: If you are in cave etc. it can be useful to know if it is pm or am (think Rolex Explorers).

      It's not that Timex didn't consider the 1/10 subdial. At this price point, Timex isn't spending money making their own movements so that they can specify exactly which subdials they want. So they can only include the subdials for whichever off-the-shelf movements they pick for their watches.
      In this case, the Epson chronograph movement provided the desired 1/5 second sweeping hand, but it has a 24 hr subdial instead of a 1/10 second subdial.

      It's not mecha-quartz. The chrono seconds hand is a quartz movement that sweeps at 1/5 second movement, so it looks mechanical. But unlike a mechanical or mecha-quartz movement, the hand does not reset by immediately snapping back to zero counter-clockwise. Instead, it resets by rotating clockwise, just like all other quartz chronos.

      The series Q of Timex is mostly powered by battery.

    it's a gorgeous-looking homage to the speedmaster and I love the reverse panda but I feel like if we're going quartz and we're talking 'moon' watches then the Bulova LunarPilot is the way to go. maybe a comparison is in order with that model?

      it's not an homage to the speedmaster, at all. Did you watch the video? He went over the design ques the Timex got from Rolex in like the first 2 minutes.
