      There is just as much, if not more, fun stuff to discover at the price range and cheaper.

    I root for Timex I don't know why. They are doing well I love the overall militaristic design and the green is nice. I think they have to look at what Orient is doing with the Ray and Kamasu that is the affordable watch benchmark imo.
    I appreciate that your affordable reviews still get the white glove treatment.

    TGV, the S.B. Foot Tanning Company has been in business since 1872, producing a variety of leathers. They are notably the supplier to Red Wing Shoe Company. Ironic that the Foot tannery supplies shoe leather! I was so excited to see this video drop. Thanks!

    I am enamored that Timex is trending back to their roots. As a Connecticut native it's so endearing to see a local and long enduring watch brand make the effort to please their fans. The first watch I ever bought was a Timex when i was 10 years old. I wore a Timex on my wrist as an infantryman in Afghanistan, and I proudly keep a Timex quartz chronograph in my collection to this day. Great review, and keep them coming.

    Your videos are the best! Tally Ho! I have been watching your videos for a while now. Being a watch nut since I first saw a divers watch displayed underwater in a small tank of water in our local Sears store. My first watch was a small Timex in the 60’s which had gotten wet and stopped. Second was a “Kiezle” (not sure the spelling is correct) it was antimagnetic and shookproof, third was a Seiko automatic which was water resistant. Sadly it was stolen. My father was a submariner in the US Navy so all my watches were non US purchases. I am and have been a Seiko Diver fan boy since 1983 and still own all of them. Keep the videos coming! Sorry, a little wordy...coffee induced! And then!

    But the size of that Coffee Mug!!! You could get a week's supply in that lolz. Hey this is a jolly cracking watch for $250! The green is somehow refined and stunning at the same time. The design is sweet. One interesting point....the sticker on the back says "Movmt Japan, Strap China", but the strap says its made in USA. I would love to see Timex issue an Auto version of their GMT. It was great to hear Hugo's wonderful voice again !Great video thanks :)

    Sitting on my wrist right now. I want to like it, but the acrylic lens is not very clear, keeps me from appreciating the beauty of dial unless I am in bright sunlight. I would have liked a beveled channel as well (if that is what it's called). I am a fan of the strap, though. The green is gorgeous in the sun. And the color of the lume is really nice.

    Hugo! Always a good laugh sir! Patek as a "beater"... I wish I had it like that! My mid-range collection would be amazing!
    I think it was about 2 weeks ago when I got a notification about a story regarding the new Timex Navi having an automatic movement and I couldn't be more excited! Caught me at a bad time financially since I just had to splurge on a few items that I needed for work purposes! 😒 But, once I'm back in the green I will be snatching one of these up if it's still available on Timex website!
    Great video as always TGV

    Hi TGV
    Incredible value for money I suppose...!?! But a diver style watch more than a genuine diver. On the other hand, most people don’t even do the dishes with a watch on😂
    The green dail? An uncommon choice for a diver, reminds me of the limited edition Omega 300 Jacques Mayol in color tone. A watch I was very keen on but unfortunately it was only made in 36mm. Wouldn’t have stopped me today but back then I thought that divers had to be big...
    I also like the case on this one much...
    Keep up the good work👍

    • @theurbangentry
      @theurbangentry  5 років тому

I am glad they came out with this watch, even though I am not looking for a green watch. It's a great entry level choice for people new to watches, as you mention. I am glad they are listening to the community. They really are coming out with some interesting stuff lately.

    Had a Timex expedition solar and was not impressed with the case quality and the seconds hand did not line up properly, Timex are coming up with great designs but they need to keep improving before i would buy from them again, great to see some more Hugo always sharp- witted.

    Timex the OG American watch Brand. Happy to see them making strides. The New Deep water watches are phenomenal.
