The Hundred Dollar Grail: A GMT Watch

Many watch collectors lust for a GMT watch. It's one of the fundamental watches that any collection needs they might say. It would allow you to track the time in multiple timezones since it has a third hand that travels the dial on a 24-hour timescale and can be set to reflect a different timezone.  Many famed Swiss brands offer GMT watches. Perhaps the most famous example would be the Rolex Explorer II.  But, what can we find in the GMT space for $100 or less? There is one watch that immediately comes to mind.  

Timex Waterbury GMT Watch

One GMT watch that comes to mind immediately is already in my collection.  It's the Timex Waterbury GMT. It's a great quartz watch with some nice touches like a fancy second hand. With 100-meter water resistance, this Timex is a solid watch that works well. You can read my full review of it here on this blog.

Most listings for a Timex Waterbury GMT list it for over $100.  But, when you are exploring the Amazon, you need to bring a machete and cut through some of the underbrush. Sometimes, that will mean checking each dial color combination offered and finding the best price. 

Fortunately, I found this Timex Waterbury GMT for less than $100 and you can too right here on Amazon using my affiliate link.

There are other GMT deals to be had. Addiesdive offers many GMT watches that sell consistently under $100. However, some of the reviews point to less than stellar GMT timekeeping. Timex is more reliable but rapidly trying to move upmarket. Finding one for under $100 is a great deal.

A GMT watch was a major part of the $20,000 WatchTime five watch collection I recently responded in my last post here. A respectable  $100 GMT watch option brings down the price of an affordable counter-collection considerably.
