Timex 10-Watch Collection

Greetings, fellow crunchers! It’s time to reveal the majority of my precious horological treasures, now that I’ve maxed out one of my watch boxes!

If you don't know already, I'm a HUGE Timex fan. I’ve been loyal to them since my high school days. Why? Because they are simple, elegant, and timeless. No pun intended. They are also one of the oldest and most iconic watch brands in the world, and proudly American. "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin," is such a fun slogan and couldn't agree more with how my watches have held up.

Some people have a love-hate relationship with Timex, but I don’t get it. They are affordable, reliable, and versatile. I can honestly say that I love them as much as, or even more than, my other fancy watches from Zodiac and Rolex. Don’t judge me.

Alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s get to the good stuff:

Timex TW2U72000VQ - This watch is a double edged sword for me. I bought it to fill my wants for a green watch and while I agree it does fit that bill, it just looks cheaper than the rest of the Timex watches I have. For some reason though, everytime I wear it, I fall in love with it again and again. Not to mention, I've had MANY people assume it was a Rolex "hulk." This watch will forever be in my collection as it was the watch I wore when I eloped with my wife and about 40 of our friends at the International Rose Garden in Portland, OR.

Timex TW2W14800VQ - One of the latest additions to the Timex box, this puppy really hits the mark for me as far as a casual field watch goes. I wanted a field watch with a bit more elegance to it as this isn't something I'd necessarily go on a hike with but rather wear in my casual attire on a comfy leather nato. The raised indices also give this a more premium feel.

Timex TW2V42400VQ - This incredible chronograph has been worn tremendously, especially at the gym! When I got the email from Timex that they dropped this on their website, I bought it immediately. I love the three colorful chrono dials that match plenty of my workout clothes and it's just a fun eye-catcher that I'd say, consistently gets compliments.

Timex T2N080 - I was searching all over the interwebs to find a proper moon phase watch from Timex and believe it or not, this woman's watch couldn't have been a better find. Would you be able to tell it was a woman's watch if I didn't say so? I picked this up for $30 brand new on eBay and I'd honestly say this watch is almost a tie-breaker for most wrist time among ALL of my watches. The thin profile, day/date dials, and the moon phase just look beautiful on my 6.5" wrist.

Timex T2N153 - My most recent purchase is this gorgeous chronograph with tri-colored hands on the chrono dials. I've had my eye on this one for a while but for some reason hadn't pulled the trigger on it yet. It's a 43mm which is really the biggest I'd wear but the short lugs give it a snug fit on my wrists. This has been my favorite daily so far and it really gives me "speedy" vibes based on the shape.

Timex TW2R26700 - Simple and subtle, this was the first watch I bought for myself as an adult from the Macys on 34th St in Manhattan, shortly after I moved there at 21 years old for a job. I wear this on a red, white, and blue NATO as a homage to my college FAU that I dropped out of at senior to make the move to the big apple. Best decision of my life.

Timex Mickey Mouse x BEAMS - My wife and I love Disney world and no, it's not weird for adults to enjoy one the best parks in the world. I was searching for a Mickey watch for weeks before I finally stumbled upon this watch, only sold in Japan. I've now worn it twice just for our trips to the Magic Kingdom and I can't wait to wear it more.

Timex TW2T56700 - A close second for most wrist time, this is a perfect watch in my opinion. I was looking for a world-time watch that could be used for both the outdoors and the gym while still having a beautiful look to it. I picked this up from the Wind Up Watch Shop and the cream colored dial and the 6-9-12 numbers just speak to me. Not to mention, the lume on this is very bright.

Timex TW2W22600VQ - This is a watch that I'm surprised has little to no exposure online from reviews to YouTube videos. This is a newer release to the Timex lineup that fit's my need for a GMT while also rocking the "Batman" vibes. It's a 39mm which fits my wrist perfectly and I constantly switch this from the bracelet to a baby blue tropic strap that always getting attention when I wear it.

Timex T2N245T8 - Last but certainly not least, this is my gym watch that also rocks my favorite color, neon green. I've never been a fan of G-Shocks but when I found this jumbo T80, in my favorite color no less, I had to jump on it. I've swam with this, ran over 100 miles with this, and rock climbed with it. It's been a joy to wear and while it doesn't have any of the "shock" features or durability claims of other G-Shock watches, it's been rock solid for me.

I hope you all enjoy this collection of Timex as much as I do and I can't wait to read and see all of your comments and opinions down below.

If I had one question to ask, this would be it: If I had to get rid of all 10 of these to purchase one watch to replace them all, what would that watch be? I'm talking in the $1k - $2k range.
