Timex Deepwater Arctic Diver
Here we go again When I saw these models I was not sure how to react. With Timex, I keep looking for logical relationships to previous releases and then get confused as to what they are aiming for. Its as if Timex just throws out products to see what sticks. As they release new models…

Random Watches #1
Seiko Big Date SUR 323 I’m going to start doing something new. Instead of so many posts about series of watches or multiple watches, I’m going to try to just get in quicker posts about individual watches I like. This may allow me to write about more watches faster without getting bogged-down in too much…

Bulova Marine Stars Old and New (6)
More Marine Star Contemplating I did it. I broke my own rules and went against some of my earlier positions. I got a new Bulova Marine Star. By new I mean not preowned, but from retailer. Still, it is not a new release. I got a Marine Star Series C with Precisionist movement; 96B431 with…

Timex Atelier Marine 1a
Intriguing upscale move. Why? Watches can be funny things. We love to discuss them. Its almost as if they exist more for the enthusiast community to talk about than to wear! One can look at a watch from so many different perspectives. Sometimes its technical, sometimes historical; could be emotional or the design details. We…

One Watch Collection?
How many watches is enough? I read an article by Zach Kazan on Worn & Wound, The Tudor Black Bay and the Myth of the One Watch Collection, October 9, 2025. In it he talked about the concept of having to choose just one of your watches if you could keep only one. It got…

Timex Deepwater Meridian
More 200m Divers Into the Mix I was surprised to see a new diver added to Timex’s broad offerings so soon after the release of the Deepwater Reefs. Before I could even get used to the 41mm Reef line, I was befuddled by the Meridian models. They are like an upgraded Tiburón? I hadn’t even…

Timex Diver and Diver-Like Survey Part 2: 1991-1995
Things Started to Get Weird I’ve been putting this off. This post is not so much the result of something I am excited about as it is an obligation. I feel like I need to continue to sort out in my mind the background watches from recent decades that have led to today’s Timex divers.…

Timex M79(s)
When a 38mm Q Reissue is not enough I couldn’t resist. Writing my last post got me thinking more about the 2019 Q reissue and its follow-on releases. Wow, what a lot to talk about! Starting in 2019, with pre-Covid fanfare, Timex began on a long journey of 38mm Q quartz releases in God-knows-how many…

Timex Diver and Dive-Like Survey Part 1: 1966-1990
A Chunk of Timex History Regarding Diver Themes What an odd and slightly academic title? It just came out. For years I have been thinking about and collecting various Timex models that are related to the concept of a Dive Watch. One of my favorite categories of watches is the the Dive Watch category. I…

Timex American Documents MadeWorn Collab
A Very Different American Documents Watch It is time to get back to one of my favorite topics: Timex. I am always wearing something from my Timex collection and thinking about Timex and trying to follow new releases. One thing I am not doing is acquiring as many Timex watches, either new or preowned. I…
