Looking For A Combination Dive/Field Watch
Does anyone have experience with the TimeX Navi XL Automatic? I really like what they did here in terms of it feels like a dive watch but has some military field watch accents as well.
If you have experience with this watch would love to know how you feel about it! Or if anyone can recommend a similar style from a different brand that would be great too!

They pop up on eBay.
I use the WatchRecon app.

I'll keep thinking of other options.
The legit field diver is harder to find in the affordable spectrum.
Marathon and Sinn make some but they are a teeny bit spicy in price.
I've heard good things about Stirling.
And I believe another WC member has the Canister.
Glycine has a plethora of really cool and well made swiss automatic Combat subs. Photo grabbed from google images.
Urban Gentry gave this one a positive review, and at $20-30 USD it’s the ultimate bargain field/dive style watch. Even has some movie history supposedly.

I knew there was another one, couldn't remember who it was. Thanks. 🍻
That is a good looking watch. Is it new in the Timex line up? I have really been impressed with what Timex has been doing of late.

I don’t believe that it’s brand new. At least 3 or 4 years old at this point. I really like a lot of TimeX designs but I haven’t committed to buying one (especially a mechanical movement) because I hear a lot of quality control issues 🤔🤔

My experience with Timex is watches that are 30 or more years old.
