At last! How to set the compass!! I thought mine was broken but i followed the clear instructions you gave and it now works! Thank you Sir! THE WATCH IS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD AND KEEPS PERFECT TIME. ( WATCH-TIMEX INTELLIGENT QUARTZ COMPASS INDIGLO).
Thanks, that was just the job for setting up. Not sure how I feel about my new watch yet. Legibility of time isn't immediate on the lighter face but I'll probably get used to it. As I have a beach for swimming and live in a hiking area it'll be useful. I'll wear it for the next week and see how I feel then.
For legibility, I would set the complication hand to temperature instead of high tide or low tide. At least it will stabilize that hand from moving and be less confusing as a hand to look at for the time that is definitely a bit trickier on this one, but still a great watch.
Well leather and water, esp salt water, not a good option, go with the silicone band or the stainless steel, Timex website should have some nice options with a rubber band if you don’t like stainless steel
@@MirrlyonTime thanks for the advise I'll probably get the leather one and a silicone strap that i will change every time i use it in salt water and i will be rinsing it off after
You have a knack for finding the coolest Timex watches Chris. This and the Waterbury chrono you had on some time ago are probably the nicest looking Timex watches i've seen, at least in the last couple of years. Absolutely love the analog display for the sensors on this watch. Sure, not the most readable, but very cool. The lug design is a bit disappointing, with the 16mm width. You are restricted to these flaring straps which i've always found a bit weird.
This one is definitely one of the very coolest ones and what’s available on the website now even better with sapphire crystals, little more money but a super cool tool watch here for sure!!
You used the term "declination" which I construe to mean a celestial body's latitude of geographic position. Are you discussing magnetic variation when you set the compass 10° west?
Yes that’s correct, if you don’t adjust for declination angle you won’t be able to set to true north only magnetic north, at least that’s what my understanding is
For this particular watch I don't think that you can. If you mean this watch specifically, but Timex website has the other options with silicone or stainless steel bands, they don't sell them separately to swap them out unfortunately, if that is what you meant. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven't yet, God bless m8!
hi bud, woult the settings you did work for the Intelligent Quartz Tide-Temp-Compass Watch T2N720 ? as thing of getting the t2n720,,,,,any help would be great thaks great review
@@deemak3349 no, you don’t set the temperature. It has its own sensor as part of the “intelligence quartz” movement. It utilizes the caseback to measure temp so if it’s on your wrist it will measure your body temp, if you want to measure the temp in a room or under water leave it off wrist for at least 15 minutes it’s pretty darn accurate too! I used it to tell me the temp of my pool at home just dropped it in the pool and picked it up 10 min later to check. Pretty awesome feature
@@MirrlyonTime hi i received my watch today, google is saying my magnetic declination is -0.14 (0 8) can you please tell me which number to put in when im setting my declination,, the -0.14 ? 0r (0 8) ?. all so are the numbers minus or positive ? sorry but never done declination or set compass before,,, i have set the time date and tide....just need to set compass,, thank you so much for your replys, and sutch a great video so help full,,,,pluss just to say i love this watch its awsome thanks best regards 👍
@@deemak3349 so if your declaration is negative 14 degrees uiu would click on the top left button 14 times to move the needle…..I give an example of -10 degrees which is where I am do the same only you would push the button 4 more times than I did
This sounds great to me. But say I fall out of a plane and need a compass because im lost. How do I get the high and low tide for the place I am in -_-
@@M0n4rc I think you would have more problems than getting a new high and low tide if you fell out of a plane, but you would have to adjust the tide manually by learning the time of the tides in your new location
@@MirrlyonTime, I don't think bear grills would approve. Oh well, I guess I'll go with the G-shock. They have standard compasses on a few models. ps: in my scenario the plane was going down so I made it out with a parashut or something. or maybe were all crash landed like in "LOST" - get me G
Thanks for this video. Can you please explain the technical differences (if any) between timex TW2V48900UJ and Timex TW2V64400X6? Is the latter a new model?
This Timex does more, and yet you can get it for a great price, and that's a bummer that the buckle strap broke off. Good thing you still have the watch lol
@@Cyborg91Ninja I would take this one to a jeweller to do the battery to be honest because I don’t know how the magnet for the compass works and I wouldn’t want to mess it up
Mine does not sit on the top when I try to calibrate the compass. Could you maybe help me? I could send you a video to Facebook example and you can tell what I am doing wrong?
@@ARVIthereyet sent two emails, the second I did a quick video Demonstration for you let me know if that helps. Please subscribe to the channel as well I hope I was able to help you
Fortunately the tube fits in there fairly tight or at least tight enough to hold it but yeah, not likely going to be able to get a decent strap for it but I like it on the fkm rubber
Sorry to hear that. How old is the watch? The only thing I can think of if it isn’t a complete malfunction is it may need a new battery as I’m sure those functions wouldn’t work or start to fail if the battery is weak. Not saying for sure but that is my best guess
@@MirrlyonTime Much much obliged to your reply, I bought the watch back in 2012-13, around that time, I just replaced the battery today wid a aftermarket one, not the original, can that be a problem as well?
@@UnknownPurush no I wouldn’t think an aftermarket battery would have that effect. Did you replace it yourself or have a jeweller do it? I’m wondering if in the process of changing the battery something got nicked or whatever. Are the other complications working the temp and the tide?
I was having a hard time deciding between the steel bracelet one and the leather one. I only liked that the steel one had sapphire but liked the off-white face better. And it looks more comfortable and practical for long hikes
Ahhhh sorry I must have this does have indiglo! However this particular version is quite difficult to read with indiglo the way this dial is illuminated the hour and minute hand are a little tricky to spot
Thanks for the video and your time.. Thinking of getting this watch for my water / fishing / boating activities..... currently have the Casio protrek for my backpacking and Hiking / camping and tho Casio makes a excellent fishing watch with Bluetooth connectivity I was looking for something more traditional looking and made for tides and a basic compass for navigating the inner water line of the Puget Sound area out here in Tacoma Seattle area.... plus Timex is a good old classic😎👍
@@TwitchRadio the tide function isn’t 100 percent accurate as it is based on 12 hr intervals and the tides don’t exactly follow that, however it’s close and you can easily adjust it if necessary. Compass function works great. It’s a great watch overall thanks for watching
Tides are slightly different every day, how does it update itself, or do you need to set the tide function each time you plan on doing something like surfing or boating?
Good question. The tide function is not accurate, a guideline as it changed every 6 hours I think so you won’t get the exact tone of the tide and will likely need to adjust it every couple days
I love this watch already, but your setting instructions go from compass to tide to compass to tide and so on. I really like your language and demeanour but please set the settings out in a rigid order. Regards.
Every 2-3 years max I would think, less if you use the complications a lot. People that complain sometimes that the watch doesn’t work likely need to try a new battery before giving up on it
I’ve heard this one can be gimmicky that’s for sure but I have found the compass and temp to be accurate with no issues thus far. When battery begins to weaken I imagine that is when functionality goes? Temp I find accurate if left in environment for 10-15 minutes off wrist as it will measure body temp while wearing, and results have been accurate on those tests
@@Bonzman yeah the tide isn’t meant to be accurate, it only goes on 6 hour cycles , I honestly haven’t fiddled with the compass too much but whenever I wear it I always push the compass button and it has remained accurate
@@MirrlyonTime my tide seems to loses or gains about 20 minutes each month, luckily my friend a couple of miles down the road is the local Harbour Master and I phone him to get the exact high/low tides, his reply is "are you playing with that Timex watch again" 😂
Mine just arrived today but unfortunately the hour and minute hand are badly misaligned, shame as I love the look and feel of the watch. Suspect very poor quality control from Timex, so returning for a refund.
@@MirrlyonTimeThanks for that, got it from Timex UK direct, so have emailed customer support just letting them know and that I will return it. Shame really
well i wanted to buy this watch but the compas and other stuff to use it i have to wear a instruction manual with me..... i will go with a smartwatch i think is the best and the fast
For practicality you likely cannot beat a smart watch that’s to be fair, but a quartz wafch that does all this, now that’s very cool! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t done so yet
Well, that is simply not true. I have an expedition scout that hits all the markers bang on. Admittedly though it seems to be the exception not the rule, and the other thing I always say, who really pays attention to the seconds hand on a quartz. I don’t even give it a thought but a sweep on an automatic; that’s something to look at. Thanks for watching m8 and please subscribe :)
The temperature gauge yes, the tide guage, well I suppose but it would be quite difficult I imagine to have a dead balls accurate tide complication given that high and low tides are different in different parts of the world. The temperature guage is very accurate too, but yeah it does take some time to recalibrate it from measuring the temperature from your wrist. I see what you are saying though for sure, if it were possible (not sure it is) to make either of these complications more accurate the watch would be much more expensive. It’s a budget watch so expectations should match I think. Thanks for watching and for your feedback! Appreciate it
@@smackgibbs lol, the only function that is effected by weather temperature function, which would be obvious since it’s reading your body temp. The tide and compass work just fine while on wrist
Where is this watch manufactured? Do you really believe that the pricing for this watch is on par with brands such as Citizen, Seiko, Victorinox and Citizen that are manufactured in Japan with Japan or Swiss movements? I don't see how the build quality and labor costs of a watch manufactured in India or China can justify a price tag of $269 USD?!
Might be the Philippines, and tbh I’m not sure what movement this has in it, but most likely a Japanese quartz of some sort. And I certainly didn’t pay 269 USD for this one. At the end of the day, it’s a fantastic tool watch, and what I paid I am happy with, you can find decent deals for these on Amazon. The ones on the Timex website that are 329 CAD (or were) on the bracelet do have sapphire crystal, and the build quality is decent but I do hear ya on the price point. Thanks for watching m8!
Useless? Nope! I use it to measure the temp of my pool, and for the right person this is a bloody fantastic tool watch imo, but yeah it is complicated, cool And complicated haha
none of this watch functions as advertised, horrible hand placement and additional features do not work. Do yourself a favor and skip timex altogether.
If yours works fine I'd say 1 of 2 things is happening either they sent you one for a paid review and you got top treatment or two there are huge consistency issues. It's a handsome watch for all the complications but on mine the hour hand is about 15 minutes behind before it hits the indexes and the temp and compass are wildly inconsistent. Would wear for looks but the hour hand throws me. Maybe make a frankenwatch out of it but utter disappointment. @@MirrlyonTime
@@LastThankG0DfreeAtLast not sure what your beef is, I bought this watch from Amazon, pretty sure I stated that in the video, my compass and temp work just fine. It’s a great watch. Sounds like you should return yours for another or refund if you don’t like the watch. If I had issues with this one I would have and Amazon would have given me no grief over it, where did you buy yours direct from Timex?
I wouldn't call it beef I own 16 watches between casio, citizen and seiko with no complaints. I will be sending it back but it's the second timex I've given a chance and both have failed to perform. I simply have no interest in investing in timex anymore.@@MirrlyonTime

Great to see an in depth review of this Timex. I have been tempted to buy it a few times.

I recommend buying direct from Timex of Amazon, and try and get one on a bracelet. It’s a great watch imo
If i get the leather option would i still be able to take it to the beach or will the salt corrode it or something
Well leather and water, esp salt water, not a good option, go with the silicone band or the stainless steel, Timex website should have some nice options with a rubber band if you don’t like stainless steel

Declination angle is the number of degree difference between magnetic North and True North and varies depending on where you are in the world.
hi the red N on the bezel through most of the video was at 3 o'clock then at the end at 12 o'clock so does it have a rotating bezel?
Yes for the compass function, bi directional friction bezel :)
Where can I get the silocone strap or the metal strap for this particular watch? Good video by the way.

I wouldn't call it beef I own 16 watches between casio, citizen and seiko with no complaints. I will be sending it back but it's the second timex I've given a chance and both have failed to perform. I simply have no interest in investing in timex anymore.@@MirrlyonTime
I got the same watch last week . The compass was working initially. Now its way off. I tried calibrating but it didn't work.
