It’s been a while since a good ol’ Timex caught my eye. It’s sure to happen at some point, so here we are. We all know that Timex is known for its affordability and reliability in the watch industry. But sometimes, their releases really stand out, and I can’t keep them out of my mind. We’ve all been there, and I think the same thing happened when they teased the earlier Q reissues. Now, they’re making another bold statement with their latest release—the Q Timex Falcon Eye Chronograph.
Let’s look closely at what sets this watch apart from some of their other budget-conscious offerings. The stainless steel bracelet grabs your attention with its vertically brushed flat-link style and singular T-shaped links. While it resembles an integrated design, this watch looks like it offers the flexibility of swapping in any 18mm strap, thanks to the cleverly hidden lugs on the case.
But the real star of the show is the dial. Adorned with a Côtes de Genève finish reminiscent of more high-end luxury watches, it doesn’t exactly look or feel like a “cheap Timex.” The vibrant blue hue adds a touch of modernity, elevating the watch’s overall look, design, and appeal.
Another significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Q Timex Falcon Eye Chronograph now features a three-register layout, making it visually appealing and more functional. With pump-style pushers for the chronograph and a retro-style acrylic crystal, every detail of this watch demonstrates new levels of quality and craftsmanship for Timex. At least, it’s got that look to it.
Of course, here’s the best part. The Q Timex Falcon Eye Chronograph remains remarkably affordable, priced at just $219. It’s a testament to Timex’s commitment to providing exceptional value that watch collectors have come to know from the brand.
