The better watch launch today was Timex's Waterbury Fly Back Chronograph
Sorry CW you got some shine, but give all the flowers to Timex's uber-cool Fly Back Chrono. What do u guys think? Kiss or slap?

About as busy and confusing to read as the skeletonized CW in my opinion. But at least this one is affordable to not read the time. 👌

.. like a bad henna tattoo bad? HA!
Very nice… who makes the movement?

Timex did, afaik. Back in the days of Intelligent Quartz, TX, and T Series, they developed a bunch of innovative movements, including this flyback chrono. They had a linear chrono that was pretty rad, and a perpetual calendar that showed all the days of the week which one is today.

Its Timex ... they're usually cagey about revealing HA!!
Nice !!
Interesting. I own one of the Intelligent Quartz models that were discontinued some years ago. Looks like Timex dropped the IQ branding and decided to re-release with a few updates. For those who may be curious, the chrono movement sweeps like a mecha-quartz
This is absolutely the winner today, this thing is so freaking cool, I cannot wait to get my hands on one!
I agree , that is cool, not as cool as my seiko retrograde but much nicer ( I think than the 12 x ( have 10 cw watches but am just not a skeleton lover)

Thx for sharing.
Waiting to see this in the metal!
I love it! I think it looks very good, a bit unusual but not too weird, very toolish. The bracelet looks like it's nicely made, too. I'd love to see it in person!

Me too. Nothing better than in person.
A very cool looking chronograph. Just wish they wouldn't polish the bracelet center links 😪

Yea seiko does it on their jubilee bracelets for their ssk line and I hate it too. Makes it too formal.

Absolutely. I see these as "outdoor capable" chronographs, therefore not polished dress watches
