Couldn't resist. The Timex Q resides at the AMCHPR
...and I'm pretty sure it's not exactly wrong that one fits in a museum of (mostly) Chinese watches. It's my first Timex.
I have an Acqua, but it's never felt like the same thing. The Acqua was the budget watch that bored me into looking at watch forums--changed my life, but it's not a Timex Timex.
It doesn't look or feel to me like a serious diver (I have a couple of those) but I don't think that's the point. It's fun, it has a super clean dial, great color and day date.
Still, I really like it and I'm glad I have it. Is it worth it? It is, to me.
Disclaimer: Setting the day and date is not fun, but...oh well. It's do-able, so there's that. Onward.
I got it at Costco in scenic Grande Prairie, Alberta for a decent Canadian price.
I was there because today I got my first set of hearing aids, too.
Too much, or not enough, time around very loud amplifiers and PA systems, and years of high volume practice, singing my car while solo highway driving).
It was a good day, today. I enjoyed walking around re-hearing things.
Hear! Hear! 👍

Congratulations!! Looks like a lovely and fun watch. Enjoy!!
Congrats, the Q is a looker. It’s always on my “to buy” list, I just haven’t quite gotten there yet.
Enjoy!
Good for you on both purchases.
I have the same Timex and also a white dial Tom Snyder version.
The newer Timex releases are proof positive that enjoyment doesn't require a 4 figure price tag.
And it's great to now that I no longer need to use ALL CAPS when responding to your posts!!

Re: "The newer Timex releases are proof positive that enjoyment doesn't require a 4 figure price tag."With you on that.
You've inspired me. It hasn't got much wrist time. Well, let's remedy that then.
