its a $75 timex. You don't buy these watches looking for greater water resistance you buy them for fun lol. Never in my 20 years of watch collecting have I heard of anyone, on any forum have their watch fail in any body of water that was suitable for the watch. Honestly why do you even care about 30m WR? If you do, and you dive, then sure. But if you're a desk diver like 99.9% of collectors then you will never even test the limits of this watches WR.
Well done, sir or ma'am! I ended up getting TWO watches! Yahoo! I actually didn't get the Q reissue. Instead I went for a Waterbury Automatic that I got for only $111 and change and a Celestial Model that I just couldn't pass up! $190 out the door and an (irrationally) happy fella! Thank you so much for sharing this information so freely and generously! Love a generous Slickster!
I LOVE them BOTH! But that Waterbury takes the edge! This watch stuff is so much fun and just makes this old man smile. Doesn't matter if it's $11.99 on the AMAZE-on or $2,000.00 from Bob's, whatever makes me smile WINS! (I've never spent over $2,000.00 on a watch. Probs from some childhood issue. We all have our crutches)

I like these watches just for the sheer fun of them. There are some simple, colorful (and again - fun) models to be had.
Note: The Waterbury automatics are powered by Miyota (by Citizen) 8205 movement. It should be tough, reliable, with 21 jewels, a 42 hour power reserve and a 21,600 bph beat rate.
I'm not sure about the comparative value, given that a few months ago I bought a Tissot with an accurate ETA Powermatic 80 movement and sapphire crystal for $209. But then again, for +/- a C-note, why not.
And why not - in for one.

Wish they had the Marlin with the California dial in stock and on sale. That's the only one of Timex's current "premium" watches that I have any interest in.
honestly, I could get a seiko quartz chrono (with sweeping second hands), sapphire crystal with a decent screw pin bracelet and milled clasp for less than $60 that would last as long, if not longer than this timex watch.
In the specs and stamped on the back of the watch it says 50 meter water resistance, just throwing that out there since there was some discussion about it only being 30.

If it had greater water resistance I would get it. 30 M doesn't cut it.
How deep you planning on going? I wear lower end watches in the water often. $100-$500 roughly. If you're just thinking jumping into water and going down 10', you'll probably be alright. If it leaks, it's $80ish. Not a lot. But it's a small watch. 38mm. That's the problem I would have, and I have small wrist! Just my opinion.
Waitlist? Are you stuck in Q3 2019- Q2 2022? It's 2023 and since Q3 of 2022 consumer discretionary when it comes to luxury has significantly dipped. You can get any Rolex you like now at MSRP and sometimes below MSRP but not by much (Tax can be waived). I know a Rolex dealer if you need a GMT.
