With all the emphasis on inexpensive watch brands on this blog lately, I thought it might be a good time to check on the less expensive offerings from Timex. Timex has been moving upmarket with great looking watches for collectors and enthusiasts. As awesome as they are, it is still fun to find something cool for under $60. In that spirit, I recently found the Timex Classics 39mm Quartz Watch. It's officially model TW2R866009J.
Watch Features
Simplicity is at the forefront of this watch design. It has a classic Ranger watch dial with no date, a nice-looking silver-tone case, and a leather strap. In real life, the lack of a date feature is very practical if you rotate through a watch collection. You just don't have to stop and make sure the date is right.
Watch Dimensions
Watch Construction
The Timex Classics 39mm has a stainless steel caseback, a brass case, and mineral glass crystal. For an inexpensive watch, it's built fairly solid and is rated for 50-meter water resistance.The 39mm classic has a leather strap.
Overall Impression
The Timex 39mm Classic is a pretty decent basic dress watch. It looks good. It's affordable. There is no shame in wearing it.
However, a watch like this Timex faces serious competition from store brands like Geneva and some of the inexpensive new brands from China. On the one hand, it's nice to wear an American brand. On the other, there are some serious competitors for $30 or less.
