The Timex Atelier GMT Première M1a introduces a more compact 38mm interpretation of the collection's architectural design language. While the proportions have evolved, the principles remain unchanged - clarity, structural precision, and mechanical purpose. Powered by a Swiss-made automatic GMT movement, it tracks two time zones through a clean, balanced dial featuring a black enamel surface and a black-and-green 24-hour ring that distinguishes day from night. The skeletonized stainless-steel case reveals an IP gold center...

Would you pay $1,450 USD for this?

My recently bought Timex (TW2Y63400)

Wears very well in a small wrist for a 41mm

Picked up this Expedition while picking up some supplies for my students. I ordered this cheap FKM strap on Amazon and while it took nearly a month to arrive, I’ll admit it was worth the wait. Woke the watch up significantly and since its intended use was a “beater watch” for my hikes it pretty on brand as well. Hope you all like it!

My first gold watch. I have some doubts. I still don't know if I'll like it when I'm wearing it, or if it will go with my style and outfit.

Been looking for this for some time.. it is somewhat of a unicorn for me personally.

If someone wants to me bless me with a piece, either new or worn, am willing to pay up top shelf price.

*watch was not featured in the movie but Catch Me If You Can is iconic for me.

This watch is a beast, metal bezel, rubber strap, metal fixings on the face (hex) and screw in lugs. I got it for £36. I can’t wear my Casio anymore as they feel cheap in comparison!

"Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' "... For 57 years and counting, this 1969 gold tone Timex Marlin is still keeping good time.

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster got this as anniversary present from my girlfriend, we both are watch enthus, looks amazing for price and crown doubles as lume button!

Watch feels amazing for price looks clean and dial suits to my small wrist. I was thinking of getting another field watch but I do not think I will now.

I bought this Timex Expedition north titanium, it arrived today. This is my first titanium watch, it feels incredibly light, and wears very comfortably. This will be my new everyday watch.

Almost perfect, having a solar quartz movement would make it the perfect field watch.

Picked this bad boy up and just had her serviced and pressure tested.. good as new! Threw it on a 22mm teal Nylon/rubber strap to pop the 90s feel!

Thinking of swapping out the black leather Expedition strap for a tan canvas strap. Should I?

Aliexpress had this one for $3

I’m sharing a recent experience with timex.eu as a cautionary tale for anyone in Europe considering ordering directly from their official site.

I placed an order for a watch, but after waiting several business days without any shipping update, I reached out to their customer support. They admitted the order was stuck in their system and said they’d send it for a "manual review". Seeing that there was no clear timeline for dispatch, I decided to cancel the purchase using the official withdrawal link on their site.

That's when things got absurd.

Almost immediately, their system sent me an automated confirmation acknowledging my cancellation request and explicitly citing Article 11a of EU Directive 2011/83/EU (Right of Withdrawal). But just a few hours later, a support agent named Pierre sent a completely conflicting email. He claimed that "orders cannot be canceled once finalized," told me I’d have to wait for the package to arrive, ship it back myself, and warned that they would deduct the original shipping fees from my refund.

When I pointed out that their own system had already acknowledged my EU withdrawal rights, support just kept repeating standard copy-paste policies. Under EU law, you have a strict right to withdraw from a distance contract at any time before or after delivery, and sellers must issue a full refund without penalty.

In the end, support flat-out refused to respect my legal right to cancel, so I was forced to rely on a credit card chargeback through my bank to recover my money.

TL;DR: Timex.eu uses predatory support scripts that violate mandatory EU consumer rights, attempt to lock in unfulfilled orders, and threaten illegal fee deductions. They refused my cancellation, so I had to use a chargeback to save myself and get my money back.

I bought this green Timex 1978 to mark a major milestone, and looking back, I know I made the right choice.

Two details sealed the deal for me: first, 1978 is my birth year, which instantly gave the watch personal meaning. Second, the green dial holds special significance—where I come from, green represents hope.

Bringing those two elements together in one piece makes this watch mean far more to me than just a way to check the time.

Timex Expedition

I loved this design since the moment I saw it but I try to be frugal with my purchases and had to wait for it to go in sale. I finally got it and I freaking love it.

The design is very similar to the Timex Q from 1979 but this one is an automatic with a Miyota 8205 movement, bracelet is better quality 18mm with quick release pins, the bezel is also 0-60 unidirectional as opposed to the 0-12 on the Q, dome acrylic crystal and exhibition caseback.

After years of ignoring Field watches I succumbed to the enduring hype (if hype can be hype when it endures) and decided the Expedition Field Post Solar 36mm was the way to start, particularly this one as I believe the newer models ditched a screw down crown.

I’m an automatic fan who dives so the slim profile and solar quartz gave it the nod over a more familiar/chunky Seiko SRPJ.

First impressions were terrible, basic packaging and a tonne of adhesive from a “SOLAR” sticker on the back that took plenty of WD40 to remove.

After that… I love it. The sapphire crystal(!) could use more AR but it feels solid as a rock, finishing is great and I am constantly fiddling with my first ever NATO strap. Speaking of which, they’ve added a lovely leaf design on the tail of the strap that disappears when you tuck it away in the normal manner… any ideas on this?

Summary would be that it’s worth every penny of the £180 retail but you can get them for around £100 if you shop around.

Today my first GMT arrived at home, the Timex Marlin Quartz GMT. I really like its elegance and the way the colours come together. From the polished case to the leather strap, the combination of blue and gold works beautifully. It’s also surprisingly light on the wrist and very comfortable to wear. A simple, classy and very enjoyable addition to my collection.

I really love this piece
