“Just show me the watches!”

If you want to see all the Timex watches we recommend right now before digging into the details, here they are:

“Are Timex watches any good?”

Back To Top

Yes, Timex watches are affordable, and they’re no Rolex or Omega, but don’t let their relatively cheap prices fool you.

Sure you might know Timex for ridiculously affordable everyday watches but in recent years, Timex has undergone something of a renaissance thanks to seriously cool designs and partnerships that pull from the company’s extensive archives. 

When a brand has roots that date back to 1854—when the Waterbury Clock Company was launched, eventually leading to pocket and wristwatches decades later—you should trust them to deliver the goods in the present day.

So if you’re wondering whether Timex is a good brand, my answer is a resounding YES.

Our Top 10 Timex Watches For Men

watches and everything in between… seriously.

Without further ado, here are the 10 best Timex watches on the market today.

Weekender

Back To Top

If there’s a watch that immediately comes to mind when Timex pops up in conversation, it could just be the super simple but highly stylish Timex Weekender Watch.

The kind of watch you can throw on and forget about — except when you’re getting compliments on said timepiece — this watch features a smaller 38mm case diameter and that classic fabric NATO strap.

We love the white dial and classic black numerals alongside the olive strap.

Consider this the perfect casual everyday watch. Available for under $40 and in a ton of color and strap combinations, you very well might want more than one.

Timex Easy Reader

Back To Top

Yet another stone-cold classic from Timex, the Easy Reader has found a home on many stylish wrists over the years.

It’s both casual and dressy, thanks to the handsome leather strap and gold-colored dial pairing.

It’s also another highly affordable Timex watch, making it a reliable change of pace to add to your collection.

This is the kind of watch you wear with a blue Oxford shirt and dark denim, sleeves rolled up. It’s sized at 38mm, giving it a throwback dress watch feel.

Timex Expedition Scout

Back To Top

In addition to making highly affordable watches for everyday and slightly dressier situations, Timex has also done a heck of job over the years at making rugged watches more suited to off-trail adventures.

That’s what the Expedition Scout brings to the table (and your wrist), what with a thicker fabric strap and 50 meters of water resistance.

It also features luminous hands and that classic Indiglo light-up functionality you’ve come to expect from Timex.

That being said, this is also the type of rugged casual watch you could wear with your favorite henley or pocket tee and dark denim (just add chukka boots).

When you want a tough-yet-casual watch for summer and beyond, consider the Expedition Scout.

Timex Waterbury Classic Chronograph

Back To Top

Of recent innovations by Timex over the past half-decade or so, the heritage-inspired Waterbury line is one of our favorites (and possibly one of your favorites, too).

These watches are striking but classic, often adding in additional layers of functionality compared to more straightforward watches like the Timex Weekender.

In this case, that means you’re looking at triple chronograph construction, plus a larger 42mm case diameter.

The all-black case and strap are also a nice change of pace.

This is the kind of watch you can wear in the summer with a navy polo and tan chinos, yet you should also keep it handy to wear with a thermal henley and broken-in denim during fall and winter.

Timex Charles Street

Back To Top

Ever wanted a dive-inspired watch that come at the expense of say, the cost of your average Rolex?

Although it’s not quite the same, the Timex Charles Street Watch could be an interesting addition to your watch rotation if you want a stainless steel watch that offers affordability and quality.

By affordability, we mean that this stylish watch clocks in (pun intended) at under $50.

The two-tone color combo and smaller case diameter help make this watch a reliable option with refined summer looks.

Try it with a crisp white slub polo and olive chinos, or pair it with tan linen pants, a white Oxford shirt and a navy blazer.

Timex x Todd Snyder Marlin Blackout

Back To Top

It only makes sense that a lauded American watch brand would team up with one of America’s foremost menswear designers in an ongoing partnership that’s produced some seriously stylish results.

Todd Snyder himself has been a Timex fan for years, and that’s where it all begins. Over the years, Snyder has dug into the Timex archives to offer up his own take on the brand’s iconic timepieces, yielding results like the ever-stylish Marlin Watch.

A classic dress watch in every sense of the word, the refined black dial and silver case pairs handsomely with a textured leather strap — wear this with your sharpest suit.

But beware — Timex x Todd Snyder watches tend to sell fast, so act quickly.

Timex Acadia

Back To Top

Put it this way — when you pick up a rugged Timex watch, you simply know what you’re going to get.

That’s to say, you’re going to get a durable timepiece for not a lot of cash, and it’s going to take a beating and look great.

If you’re the type of guy who likes to wear a watch for hours on end, especially when out and about on errands, adventures & the like, the Timex Acadia could be the watch for you.

The legible white dial with black markings provides visibility in plenty of conditions, and 50 meters of water resistance should come in handy for quick swimming hole jaunts.

Blending fabric and leather for a cool two-tone strap, this casual timepiece would wear particularly well with a pocket tee and faded denim all through summer (add a flannel shirt come fall).

Timex Reissue

Back To Top

Add another thing to the list when it comes to ways in which Timex continues to impress us.

The Timex archives are a sight to behold, and iconic watchmaker might have just whipped up its coolest new creation yet: The Q Timex Reissue Series offers a refreshing take on the old-school dive watch.

Even better? It’s highly affordable — as if you’d expect anything less.

The two-tone bezel calls to mind the original version, while the woven stainless steel bracelet wouldn’t have looked out of place on your father or grandfather’s wrist back in the day.

But right now in the present, we’d suggest you wear it with a navy slub polo and tan chino shorts, plus white canvas sneakers.

Todd Snyder x Timex Liquor Store Watch

Back To Top

Yes, we’re back at it again with another standout watch from Todd Snyder and Timex.

As always, this is anything but your standard everyday watch. Specifically, it pays homage to perhaps the original NYC menswear mecca: The Liquor Store, a Tribeca institution that Snyder first opened during his time at J. Crew.

After the original outpost closed, Snyder bought it and refitted the space with his own brand’s stylish wares, including this exceptional watch.

An automatic movement and subtly stylish 38mm dial design make this a standout watch to wear on the daily.

Our recommended pairing? Try it with a chambray shirt, dark selvedge denim and white high-top sneakers — exactly like Snyder himself might wear it.

Timex Fairfield

Back To Top

Last but certainly not least, it’s hard to talk about Timex without bringing up another line that’s launched in recent years — another line that blend affordable style and quality, no less.

The Timex Fairfield line steps things up ever so slightly in cost and design, in this case using sharp dial markings for a dressy look and feel.

This brown leather strap watch would wear well with tan loafers and off-white chinos this summer (teamed up with a navy polo, of course). Triple chronograph functionality offers a nice touch, too.

We love the black-and-tan color combo between the dial and strap — it’s a crucial way to switch up your watch collection.
