I'm on Instagram as the.knights.watch.The.first most showing pieces I own but also pieces I have to review!
invitescon...
I have to say you are very descriptive and really illustrate what you're talking about well. There's a level of word selection that really helps convey the details of this watch. Thanks for the great review.
I recently found your channel and I'm growing to love it. Good content, good reviews. I'm sure you're going to be one of the best watch reviewers in the future.
Appreciate the kind words! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. 🙏🏻
Just bought the watch because of your review. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy it. I still love mine
I just picked up a Timex Three GMT. I'm very happy with it!
Not a Swiss quartz movement, but I do have Indiglo. 👍
Great video and points. Had to subscribe after you whipped out the Timex Snoopy 😎. Keep up the great work!
Haha thank you! Appreciate it. Timex snoopy is in every video so at least some consistency there
Love it. I have the Rose Gold Root Beer Timex Q non GMT. Very nice watch and one can get them as a discount now. Good video. I like your gun metal version.
great review!
Well done. I am so surprised how much you liked the watch. Kept waiting for deal breaking cons, but they refreshingly never came. That was fun. I'll definitely pick one up, even if to give it as a gift. I've still got to watch your Moonswatch video, and patiently waiting for your Sartory Billiard vid!
I’m just as surprised haha. It’s a fun one. Wonder what you’ll think of it! Sartory is coming. Good and bad thing to have so many cool watches to review at once
@@theknightswatch blessed and cursed, but mostly blessed!
I really like this one, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Very cool case, kind of Zenith-y.
Ya didn’t think of that. Looks a little similar to that revival watch they did
bro that Casio hack saved me! I've got the automatic Timex (batman one) and it's got the arm hair puller bracelet and I had a different Casio (A700WEM-7AEF) and it looks and feels so good with that bracelet.
This is the only timex I own where the second hand hits all of the markers. Love mine!
Awesome glad you are liking yours
I have the Q day/date...I like it so far.
Great video! After getting into automatic watches I can’t believe I’m even considering getting a quartz watch, but I’m waiting on them to release the Batman version and then will jump on it.
I don’t think you’ll regret it! Everyone needs a grab and go Quartz in the collection I think.
Yes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the weight it’s got some heft to it. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. I have a 72 Rolex gmt and I got this one so the real one isn’t on duty every day and it’s basically the same weight which is nice. The only criticism is the polished parts on the face look kinda cheap.
Have you tried cutting down a 22mm strap at the ends to fit?
I hope they make 40-41mm
They said the GMT hand lags behind, making it useless, is that true? O.o
Why is your crest on the back of a quartz Hamilton Boulton?
Too bad i got a small wrist, hope they drop black color for 36mm
Where did you get that strap ?
Nice review. Have You clipped the end of the strap?
Thanks and yes I don’t like how much pokes out at the end so I cut it to look more seamless from the wrist view
I love this model except for that black PVD coating on the case. I wish that was stainless with a stainless bracelet.
Could you use poly watch on the crystal to polish out those scratches?
Yes!
does the GMT on your's hand keep accurate time? Mine seems to lose time almost immediately. Rest of the watch is great (hopefully someone will make a sapphire mod for it), and I love the look, but it's main feature not functioning properly is extremely irritating!!
Have to read it in partnership with the rotating bezel. It’s is supposed to do 360 degree in 24 hours. You read the hour on the bezel when you set it at your 2nd time zone. I didn’t understand until someone else commented elsewhere
Is that a friction bi-directional bezel? I saw you only turn it one way so couldn't tell.
Totally forgot to mention that. It’s frictionless bi directional.
@@theknightswatch Friction based. There is no frictionless.
For an extra $20 they could put a Sapphire crystal on it. They would be taken much more seriously as a quality watch and watch company. Oh well, it's TIMEX so half way is the only way. Too bad.
Agree. Wonder if it is easy and worth it to replace the glass myself.
@@StephenNg95 If I had the knowledge and the proper tools to switch the crystal to a Sapphire I'd give it a try. I love the watch but no Sapphire, no deal for me.
I don’t see the lack of sapphire as a big issue. It’s a vintage reissue style watch and that’s what they used. You can pay 6000 for An omega with the same kind of crystal so why not 200 on a Timex
@@theknightswatch I have 2 Seikos in my collection with Hardlex crystals and I've put a scratch on both of the watches. Once you've scratched a crystal you can't NOT see the scratch. Every time I look to see the time, inevitably I see the scratch first. It infuriates me.
A watch without sapphire crystal is a watch I won't own.
It's an extra $20/$25 to the watch price. UGH 😫
It’s supposed to be vintage, the domed crystal adds a lot to the look. It’s not a big deal you can buff it right out.
Is Timex following the swatch moon swatch strategy?
I wouldn’t necessarily say they are following it since you genuinely can buy these even if they are temporarily out of stock.
I think the watch is very small even for the smaller wrists
And it was available for all of an hour or so this morning lol
Ya they sold out surprisingly quick. You would think Timex would make a huge amount. Either way I’m sure they’ll be readily available at some point
Maybe they are following swatches game plan for the Swatch moon?
Easy and inexpensive sport watch
The only con I have is the lume is horrible
Does this watch not have Indiglo? My Timex Three GMT does. Weird.
@@anthonykent00 no it does not have lume
I mean it's cool but the Casioak is simply better
Comparing digital to analog so not quite the same. The Casio is a great watch, glad you like it.
Not a true GMT? Hmm...
Look up true gmt
@@theknightswatch This is what many people call an office GMT because it is ok to track a second time zone at office but no so good for travel.
Of course!
Disagree with the scrap. The stock strap is awful. Extremely stiff and very limited sizing. Really kinda limits it's adoption.
Sorry,timex is pure crap.
The purest really
A cheaply made Chinese $200 Quartz GMT, with only 50m WR. You are on crack if you buy this watch.
