    Like his Swiss Army Knife, the Timex watch was part of MacGyver’s iconic Every Day Carry kit in the first 3 and a half seasons - he lost the watch in the ‘Runners’ episode when he had to pawn* it to pay for his gas after Jennifer Reiner stole all the money out of his jacket pocket while giving him a hug. Hios windup watch fits MacGyver’s function over fashion sensibilities perfectly. The simple analog dial gives both 12 and 24-hour reading. The windup function means he never has to worry about flat batteries and the 30-meter water resistance lets the watch take a dip without any problems.

    Thank you for the review. I admit I’m a watchaholic do it on a low budget. But I enjoy it. I have a smaller wrist so the 40mm watches are a little big. I have several that look like the timex, but are 35mm to 38mm better fit. I use just a few McGiver style bands and move them from watch to watch. Cost effective. Thanks again. Happy Hunting!

    My dressier Timex 42 mm T2P219 has 100 m water resistance but then its more expensive and its basically an oversized camper with a leather strap. You can’t go wrong with the design - been around practically forever and its the classic field watch. Nothing else Timex has made is like this icon in their collection. Simple and rugged which is why MacGyver always wore it.

    I inherited three Rolex watches the past March when my father passed away. One of them was purchased for $15k. My dad loved his Rolex watches. I have yet to wear one out anywhere. What do I wear daily? Timex Expedition Field Chronograph. I think I spent $50 for it on sale three or four years ago. I have always loved the simplicity of Timex and own a number of them including the Weekender, in addition to other watch brands. But the Expedition is my ‘go to’

    I just got one, thanks for the recommendation. Great watch for the money. In fact, the box it arrived in was nicer than most of the watches I've ever bought. I owned a Seiko SNK andd gave the watch away. I found the dial too hard to read. I bought a Seiko SNZ which has a much better dial. They are basically the same watch but the SNZ is better. This Timex is awesome for the money.

  • @jdblack9703
    @jdblack9703 Рік тому

    Sadly, I disagree. The only thing that stops me from agreeing with you is the stem. I’ve not owned a Timex analog watch that held on to it’s stem more than a few days. I’m old so I can’t see digital watches’ digits very well but I found a Timex, an Atlantis 100, on the ground at a landfill about 15 years ago that is my favorite beater. One thing I have to say about Timex is they will replace their watches that fail or give a discount on a replacement. I have returned several for replacement. One other thing is water resistance. I have not had a 30 meter rated watch leak. I wear my watches in the shower, pool, and ocean. In salt water, I would wear a 30 meter watch when snorkeling. I know this kind of wear is beyond the factory specs but a field watch must by definition survive and thrive in the bush.

  • @jorge23483

    Well... the second hand noise is kinda an infamous characteristic of quartz watches, especially in the affordable category. I have two weekenders: a chronograph and a small seconds... and I was lucky enough that both doesn't make the infamous Timex ticking thanks to the small second hand on both. I think this Timex mk1 looks super cool with that dome acrylic and the markers, I have a Hamilton mechanical and I really like the field watch look. I agree about the design of this mk1 being is better in comparison to the design of the weekender, wich is a little more monotonous, but the weekender reminds me more of the trench watches with those straight lugs. Thanks for the video.

    Some questions come to my mind: What happened to your hair?, Why are you appearing on camera like that?, Did you lose a bet?, Is your hairdresser facing charges?. Thank you.

    Seems to be unavailable in Australia. I like the way Timex watches look, but honestly they are cheap pieces of cr@p. Better save up for a Hamilton.

    30 meters is 100 feet. That’s plenty water resistance if you think about it realistically.

    Not a resistant watch. You have to concern a lot about the plastic glass, not to scratch it. It's nice looking but really have to take care a lot about the cristal. Not for any outdoor activities.

      Luckily since it's acrylic, most scratches will buff out quite easily

    Timex water resistance is meaningless. Brand new Alarm Chrono, less than a week old, went swimming in less than six feet of water. Fogged up and Indiglo never turned off until the battery died. Ten years later, changed battery… Indiglo still stuck on. Luckily I have two more.
    And I sleep with an 1899 Elgin 18s 7j Model 5 next to my bed specifically for the ticking.

    30 meters is basically 33 yards or 98.5 feet deep. So i seriously dissagree with your assumption that most people will wear this watch almost 100 feet below the surface. The review has many exellent points however. Its just that so many drink the koolaid of you cant wash your hands, swim or take a shower with a 30 meters timepeace.

    • @the1010watchclub
      @the1010watchclub  2 роки тому

      Fair enough. Also though 30 meters doesn't actually mean 30 meters as far as water submersion. Timex wouldn't want you snorkeling with this one.. unless you're actually MacGyver

      eBay and Amazon still occasionally have some, but I haven't seen this specific color way recently, and the price has definitely increased as well
