Timex X Heuer got me Questioning Everything.

When I saw the Heuer 60th anniversary watch, I knew it was special, but when I saw the new Timex Marlin Chrono, I had a double take...I don't even know what to think anymore, watch the video for some creamy watch shots and my convoluted thoughts on watch PERFECTION.

Timex has honestly been killing it lately with this, the world timer, the mk1s and expedition norths, and the tonneau.

Great video! I just bought a Timex Expedition and it’s a good watch. Timex is a great brand and glad they’re stepping up their game. I love quality, but cost is very important as well. Having a family to support means more than an expensive watch 😂

Another legendary affordable watch is the field CWC G10. I just picked mine up (currently sold out), and it has almost killed all the other watches for me. Hesalite glass, 36mm case x 10.5mm thick, fixed lugs, super accurate, issued to British Army for like 30 years... all for £279...Charming little beauty . I love it

Just got the Timex this week as I missed the boat with the Tag earlier this year. Has been on wrist continuously since. The bracelet does feel a little cheap (especially the clasp) but the aesthetics are totally on point.

Love that mega-dome plexi on the Timex - so much warmth and character.

You know, I saw both the Timex and Tag a while ago. The Timex isn’t something I’d normally go for with it being a quartz homage. But when I saw the Tag, I realized I’m not willing to put down Speedmaster money for it. Nothing wrong with it; clearly would’ve been a good investment. But I’d sooner buy a Speedmaster. Now this video has made me reconsider the Timex. Yes it’s quartz, but I might just be entering my idgaf phase.

I love what Timex has been doing around the $200 price range. Any lower you take Chinese homages and any higher there's loads of established brands amd up and coming micro-brands to contend with.

Timex isn't necessarily plagerizing. They are dipping into their own very deep and rich history. The new Marlin taps from its own past Marlins.

Don’t forget Timex’s tonneau/barrel model that completely embodies the ‘70s vibes.

I grew up in the seventies, when the Timex brand, might as well have said 'Woolworths?!'
Times have definitely changed - I love this new chrono!

I was lucky enough to get this Heuer 60th anniversary model.
It first came out in Jan but I must have slept on it I didn’t want it till I saw it in March, by that time it had long sold out, but I had to pay the premium for it. Still happy I grabbed it. As these are hard to find on the secondary market. Which I assume that the people who do have it, are true watch enthusiasts and like myself glad I have it in the collection.

Kudos to Timex for making such a beautiful chronograph but honestly I’ll go with the Tag. I’ve been looking at the glassbox for weeks and I’m honestly in love with that piece.

I have a Timex Explorer Diver that is at least 20 years old. Whenever I wear it, people compliment me on it and ask how much it was, its quite laffable compared to quite expensive watches. But I still love it

I own the 160th anniversary which is the same as this Tag Heuer but all silver dial and sub dials. My only annoyance is that the box sapphire crystal’s rim around the edges covers the second markers around the dial which can only be appreciated while looking at an angle. I wish I could get a plexiglass custom made and replace the sapphire glass. That would be perfect. Other than that these models are excellent quality, perfect size, amazing movement very well finished.

Max, love your channel/review…keep up the good work! Unlike other youtubers, they always trying to sell you something.

[BiffTannenBTTF]

The fact that Tag made that watch limited is infuriating. The watch industry these days is absolutely horrible.

[CrispyFrenFry]

Great video! I genuinely appreciate your openness to understanding why homage watches aren’t necessarily a bad thing considering it’s simply a symptom of commercialized consumerism. The watch world is not unique in this way, especially when we expand our perspectives to take into account how “homage” designers or manufacturers make luxury items attainable to the mass market. These are certainly not the same quality as the true artisanal luxury watches but most of us can’t afford time pieces of limited quantities: after all, the US middle class is shrinking so the number of people who can afford such products are limited to financially well-off or the financial irresponsible.

[LouisMorales-zxjm]

The Tag “Heuer” is a beauty. Too bad they were limited. Hopefully they will release the same look with a Tag Heuer logo on it. I could settle for that.

[misterurbanist]

Timex is killing it last couple of years. This, the previous range of marlins, the james brand collabs, the giorgio S2. The conversation has moved from "It's a good Timex" to - "It's a good watch!!!"

Ps: The perfect watch exists. It's called the grand seiko sbgx261

I've had the Timex Marlin Chronograph, Blue Dial in my shopping cart a few times now but haven't pulled the trigger.. But even just the aesthetics at under $200 seems worth it.
