Timex Men's Marlin 40mm Watch

Gorgeous watch! This Tiffany blue dial got me curious as I don't have anything similar to this watch dial color in my collection. Depending on the light, the satin dial can gleam like mint green, powder blue, or turquoise, which is great for casual wear. Based on reviews I've seen, many say the crown is hard to operate due to the lack of knurling, but for me and my oily fingers, it's surprisingly (and thankfully) quite easy to change the time/date and to manually wind the watch (it's an automatic, so I don't really have to wind it that often). I like the design of the crown -- the inscribed "T" and triple rings on the crown perimeter add to the retro-modern styling. There's no exterior bezel, as the chunky yet sleek Hesalite acrylic crystal envelopes the entire top surface of the watch, encasing the etched "Marlin" and dual stripes, giving it that "Space Age" (Jetsons) feel -- bought some Polywatch to buff out minor scratches that's sure to happen eventually. The dish/concave dial with notches/cutouts for the indices lend the Marlin a subtle yet unique appearance, while the cross hair dial detail and simple baton hands make for a clean aesthetic. The Miyota movement is reliable, and is fine for the watch's price range. The stock black strap is okay, comfortable, but not for me. However, the Marlin and this particular dial pairs well with several leather straps, and I'm sure it would be a good match with a Milanese bracelet as well. At 38mm (not 40mm), the Marlin Jet sits well on my 16.5cm (6.5") wrist, without any overhang. Timex is headed towards the right direction with their more recent offerings across their various lines, and am looking forward to the brand's burgeoning renaissance over the next couple of years.

Timex has done it again. This is a high-quality, very good-looking watch for the money. The bracelet has a good finish good feel to it. The bracelet was massive - had to remove 4 links to accommodate my 7 1/2" wrist. That's not at all a criticism - just potentially helpful info for those looking to accommodate large wrists. The crown and pushers feel great - definite, positive detents where you'd expect them. Photos don't do justice the shine of the face - it's amazing in person - and the acrylic lens complements the shiny face well by limiting reflections. The size and weight of this watch perfectly match my personal taste, not to mention the attractive color of the face contrasting with the polished case and bracelet. And I love how the color of the pushers and crown match the indices and hands. This is the most expensive Timex I own, but it's a bargain for what you get.

The Timex Marlin automatic in "Tiffany" blue/teal is an absolute stunner of a watch. It might also be one of the greatest watch bargains of all time. This watch is a real eye catcher with the dial color, polished applied stick markers and highly polished case that appears almost chromed. The dial is concave with dimples at the chapter ring to recess the markers. A domed acrylic crystal covers the edges of the curved dial creating an almost bubble effect that reminds me of a 1950s movie space helmet. It has an automatic movement and a display case back. It has a retro vibe that is really fun. Replace the included NATO strap with a nice black lizard/leather one, and suddenly it's an absolutely amazing dress watch. I've been running it on a winder for a week and that Miyota movement is clocking in a +10/day which is better than ANY Seiko. All this for a watch so cheap you can buy them by the dozen? Thank you Timex.

The Timex Marlin has instantly become one of my favorite watches. The design is clean, elegant, and true to the vintage inspiration. The champagne dial looks incredible in person — warm, refined, and versatile enough to pair with anything from casual layers to a button‑up. What really surprised me is how premium it feels on the wrist. The case finishing is sharp, the dial is beautifully balanced, and the overall presence is far beyond what I expected at this price point. It has that classic, understated charm you usually only find in much more expensive pieces. It’s comfortable, reliable, and stylish without trying too hard. If you want a dress‑leaning watch that still works for everyday wear, the Marlin is a standout. Absolutely worth it.

Pros: Great quality! Strap is very comfortable and easy to adjust. They do look expensive. Cons: Crown is not very comfortable. Edges are sharp and oriented in parallel with a spin direction, which makes it hard to wind the watch.

For those who thought Timex movements were strictly of the quartz variety, think again, as the install a decent mechanical movements, are well. Reasonably accurate, nice feel on the wrist, and beautiful design are it's most notable qualities. The Marlin I purchased has a stunning "Tiffany Blue" dial with beautiful applied hour markers that are embedded in the dial for a unique look. Comes on a nylon strap that I like, but could be put on a leather strap for a more of an evening look. All said, it's a terrific little watch, and I'm glad to see the much-maligned Timex step up in quality and make a respectable mechanical watch.

It was a very nice watch, just wasn’t the 40mm the header claimed it to be. It measures 38mm and doesn’t have enough presence to make up for the smaller size. Were it slightly larger, it would be a lovely dress watch for me.

A month past the return window and it broke. One of the pins holding the watch face in place came off and disappeared. The watch face flops around like a fish on dry land. I’ve come to expect better from a $25 watch, not a $400 watch.

Excellent timex marlin watch but not as advertised it's not 40mm at all but a small ladies watch no good for me or any man

Dang! This watch is just pure class. Beautifully created and affordable price

Mehr retro geht fast nicht. Sehr schöne Uhr im Stile/bzw eine moderne Wiederauflage einer Timex aus den 60ger Jahren. Auch nicht zu klein, ich trage meist Uhren mit 40 und mehr mm Durchmesser, aber die 38 mm sind nicht zu klein für Männerhände. Mit dem Werk von Miyota sollte es für Jahre keine Probleme geben. Was ich so noch nie gesehen habe ist dass das Glas (Plexi) über die Lünette gezogen ist. Der Schriftzug "Marlin" auf der Lünette ist somit hinter Glas. Gehäuse und das gewölbte Glas schliessen nahezu (vielleicht ein halber Millimeter Vorsprung) ab. Das montierte Band ist Ok, ich habe es durch ein Lederband ersetzt.Das montierte Band ist nicht schwarz wie in der Beschreibung angegeben sondern dunkelblau. Die Ablesbarkeit ist nicht besonders gut, 100 m Wasserdichtigkeit wären natürlich besser gewesen, aber ich plane sowieso nicht mit dieser Uhr ins Wasser zu gehen, dafür gibt es Diver.

不動品、全く動かない。届いたときからリューズを巻くことができない。まるで巻き上がったままの状態。12 時と6時の両側とも、ベルト裏側のヘリが剥げてめくれ上がっている。ベルトへの尾錠の食い込み跡もくっきりと2カ所あり、誰かが触った痕跡がのこっています。新品とは思えない品。
