INCOMING - Super Budget Impulse Buy

Picked this up today on impulse (with a gift card) for $100. I have always liked to have 1-2 inexpensive watches in my collection for various reasons. I end up returning them half the time so time will tell if this one sticks around. This would be for something like an all inclusive vacation where I am not comfortable wearing my nicer pieces, or maybe out to the bar where I don't want to worry about attention or losing/breaking it. Also kind of reminds me of the Patek Calatrava I'll never be able to afford. Nice clean dial, what do you think?

Yes, Timex Waterbury. The strap is surprisingly decent too.

Thanks! I just realized today this has the jump hour feature which is pretty cool, never had that before.

Nice looking watch. Congrats!

I picked up this Timex about a year and a half ago. It’s the Todd Snyder military watch.

How has it held up? i was on the fence about buying one of those but never went through with it? I'm tempted again.

Heck, it’s a Timex.
I’m sure it’ll last for a good long while.
