The Hundred Dollar Grail: Timex Q Reissue 38mm Watch

Is there a grail watch that you can get for $100 or less? I think there is! If you've been reading about the much celebrated Timex Q series reissue, you might want to add one to your collection.  With inflation and Timex moving a little more upmarket lately, you might want to get one soon! I found one for under $100 on Amazon.  It's the Timex Men's Q 38mm watch.

It's an attractive watch with a 38mm diameter case, the day and date, a bi-directional rotating bezel, a gently domed acrylic crytal, 50-meters of water resistance, and a silicone strap. It also has an additional feature that intrigues me:  a battery hatch!

You can open the battery hatch with a coin and change the SR626SW/377 battery easily. If you need batteries, check out this blog's battery center. I think quartz batteries should be super-easy to change and I hope that a hatch like this helps.

The Timex Q 38mm watch looks like something a little special and it's available here via my affiliate link on Amazon for less than $100.

Watch Spotlight: The Affordable Timex Men's Southview!

If you are looking for a nice Timex, there are plenty of beautiful watches in the Timex Waterbury Collection, but sometimes Timex offers similar features in their regular watch collections.  For example, the Timex Men's Southview Quartz Watch has lines that are very similar to some of the watches in the Waterbury Collection.  It has a 41mm diameter brass case, a crown with a golden tone, and a nice genuine leather strap. The Roman number font has a simpler modern font and the dial is one color. Where the Waterbury collection embraces traditional and decorative details, this Southview embraces modernity and minimalism.

The Timex Southview is a very respectable and functional watch that used to retail for around $70. But, now in November 2025, the base price on Amazon has settled to just over $50. You can check out the Timex Southview here at --

Watch Wearing Wednesday: Timex Mod 44 Men's Quartz Watch

I couldn't resist grabbing the Timex Mod 44 that I gushed about in my earlier Sharp Watch Shout Out and it's proving to be everything I had hoped. It has a big 44mm diameter case, a very readable dial, and a genuine leather band that's long enough to be comfortable.

So far, I'm thrilled with this Timex watch. Here is a photo of the Mod 44 when I wore it on a nice spring day. It's exciting with a sub-$50 watch works out so well. It looks like this watch is still offered by a couple of sellers through Amazon here.

[Updated as of 11/7/2025]

The watch world could use something bad ass.  As the official timekeeping partner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Timex has some bad ass watches in spades.  This attention getting Timex UFC Icon watch literally brings the octagon to your wrist.

I don't know if this watch will help you catch the eyes of the ring girls, but it does have chronograph functionality with the crown being flanked by pusher bars to activate the watch's stop watch subdials.  The watch also offers 100 meters of water resistance.  With the UFC lettering on the silicone strap and a gold-tone stainless steel case, the watch simply looks sharp.  You can find it here on Amazon:
