Bought a recently reissued 1972 domed face watch. Superb looking watch but alas with a plastic dome face. How could they not have learned that this is a major floor in it original design. I’ve had it a day and now have a lovely big scratch on its face. My 1979 Casio classic reissue that cost &49 even has a glass face. Why on gods earth would Timex not upgrade their reissue to glass!
Well that was £220 well spent.

Timex deepwater
Bought a timex deepwater online.
Pros:
Looks decent
Appears to keep time
Cons:
1. The rear section of the second hand is about the same color and size as the hour hand so can make it difficult to quickly see the actual time
2. The second hand doesn't line up accurately with the second markings on the watch so makes it difficult to track a second count.
3. Lack of attention to detail and poor design overall

I brought myself a watch
I brought myself a watch - it's not even a year old, but the colour has faded massively and the strap has picked up every colour going, so looks dirty! No matter how I clean it :(
Not impressed. :(

Was given a Timex Expedition Chronograph as a gift
Was given a Timex Expedition watch with chronograph for my birthday. 5 weeks later, none of the stems / buttons work I can not change the time, can not use the stopwatch feature and when I push the stem in for the indiglo light, it remains on unless I forcefully pull it out. Call warranty and they said I would have to send it in for repair "offshore" with an expected wait time of 2-3 months and would be informed of the cost of the repair before they fixed it.
So dissapointed in the company that I have bought watches from for over 40 years.

No Instructions For Timex Easy Reader And Poor Dial Quality
Its good for telling the time, but its impossible to change the date. When I got it my Easy Timex Reader I saw that the date was wrong. I looked in the instructions on how to change the date, and all the instructions said was stuff about the battery, literally nothing else. I don't know if it was meant to come with actual instructions or not, but either way it didn't have anything useful in it. I tried pulling the dial out, which was absurdly hard to do, but I could only change the time. I had a look on Timex's site, and the model of watch they used to explain how to change the time was significantly different to mine. I found a video on Amazon (the only related instructions I could find) showing me what to do on what I thought was the same watch (later realised it wasn't). I tried pulling it out to 'two' for the date, but it wouldn't pull out. I found out the hard way that these were the wrong instructions for the watch, and that therefore there are no instructions for this watch, as when I pulled the dial a last time, it flew out across the room and I had to hunt for it. I gave it to family member to help, turns out you have to pull it out to 'one' for the date, and 'two' for the time. Because the dial is almost impossible to pull out, and the margin for 'one' is so miniscule, it's basically impossible to change the date.
In summary, Timex Easy Reader did not come with any real instructions, and the dial doesn't work properly/is a really really poor design. Who on Earth designs, or makes, a watch like this?

Faulty Recycled Fabric Strap
Bought my Expedition Watch less than 4 weeks ago - the fabric ‘recycled’ strap is fraying at the end and around the pin holes. I have a collection of 18 watches of various makes so I don’t wear my Timex every day…
When they asked for a review about my purchase I told them about the strap and sent photos. Basically they have point blank & categorically refused to exchange or provide a different strap - it’s not their ‘policy’ I’ve been told. All their responses are clearly AI generated, written by a robot! They have acknowledged the strap is faulty and to ‘consider my feedback for the future’ so effectively they admit it’s faulty but are unwilling to rectify the situation. So I will never buy a watch from ‘Terrible Timex’ again! Customer Service is non existent - only ‘Robot Responses’ 👎 It seems their policy is…
“I don’t have any solution but I certainly admire the problem”

Worst ever. Kundenservice nicht existent
Worst ever.
Ich schrieb eine Frage auf der Timex-Seite und wurde auf die jeweilige landeszuständige Adresse verwiesen.
Genau dies tat ich bereits zuvor und schrieb auf Englisch als auch Deutsch. KUNDENSERVICEatTIMEX.COM
Da kommt nullkommanix zurück; nicht mal eine Eingangsbestätigung.
Eine Marlin 34mm Reissue, die nicht mehr aufgezogen werden kann für ca. 200 Tacken "down the drain".
Shame on you! 👎🏻
