    Phenomenal look at digital Timex. I'm 48 and wish I would have snagged a few of these back in the day. So much fun! Thanks so much 😃

      Thankyou! Fun little watch and enjoyed digging in more detail into one particular range versus my normal mammoth coverage attempts!

      I kept all my Ironmans and expedition I could but they really really didn't age that well.

    Great video mate, whatever happened to all the fun and weird models, now pretty much everything is a little plain, wish they'd bring back some fun stuff like they had in the 90s.

      Thanks! I know right. I’m such a sucker for old school digital Timex’s since I got my first ironman as a kid

    My gym teacher had a Timex victory, it was the coolest thing ever.
    Now I look at it and I'm not sure I'd wear it. Growing up is boring lol

    I have that watch! Unfortunately the rubber parts where the band (I have the blue nylon quick release band) attaches have rotted and broken off. In searching for a replacement band I ran across your video. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you,
    Cheers,
    Kevin

    Great video I have 3 of these and love them. Yes the strap on yours is not original. Original strap was the rubber type with a small compass.

    • @IlluminatingWatches
      @IlluminatingWatches  Рік тому

      I think you are right but I’ve also seen a variety of these in later years that looked like mine. The strap I’ve got is awful as it keeps pinging with the slightest pressure - I should figure out changing it

    Can't argue anything against the atractive 80s look of that piece. In your experience, is the temperature sensor affected by body heat? Judging by its position probably measures environment temp better than the outgear/progear casios. Thanks for sharing your videos!

    • @IlluminatingWatches
      @IlluminatingWatches  2 роки тому

      For me it’s more the aesthetic more than the utility. I wouldn’t bet my house on the accuracy of the temp sensor!

    Love your videos, but only caught maybe 75% of the narration of this. Felt a little like a Micro Machines commercial.
