The Q Timex is a near exact reissue of a 1979 design, down to the screw in battery hatch on the caseback. At 38 mm with a short 43 mm lug span it fits smaller wrists that most divers swamp, and the integrated woven bracelet and red and blue bezel give it the look of watches costing ten times more. Day and date, a quartz movement and acrylic crystal keep it practical and easy to polish. It earns its place on style and proportions rather than toughness.
Vintage sports watch proportions at 38 mm with a functional battery hatch.

What owners say
Owners on WatchUSeek and WatchCrunch love the proportions and the 1970s look, and say fit and finish is a step above usual Timex. The most repeated complaints are the hair pulling bracelet, acrylic that hazes quickly, a thin bezel coating, and a minute hand that jumps when the crown is pushed in.
