The Q Timex revives the brand’s iconic 1970s quartz sports watch, capturing the era’s charm with its distinctive Pepsi bezel and woven stainless steel bracelet. Originally introduced as Timex’s answer to the quartz revolution, this reissue has quickly become a cult favorite among collectors who appreciate accessible vintage-inspired design with authentic period details.
Reference variants like the TW2T80700ZV (Pepsi bezel) and TW2T80800ZV (black bezel) differ mainly in bezel color and dial accents, with both housing a reliable quartz movement and featuring a practical 38mm case size. The battery hatch on the caseback is a unique nod to the original, allowing for tool-free battery changes—a detail that appeals to those who value both convenience and historical accuracy.
Price variation is mostly driven by bezel and dial combinations, as well as condition—unworn examples with full kits command a premium, while used pieces remain highly affordable. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for daily wear but not for serious swimming. When shopping, focus on bracelet condition and completeness of box and papers, as these factors most affect desirability and resale value for this model.
What owners love
- The retro 1970s styling, including the distinctive Pepsi bezel and woven steel bracelet, nails the vintage vibe in a way few modern watches at this price point manage.
- The functional battery hatch on the caseback is a nostalgic and genuinely practical feature that owners love for easy DIY battery changes.
- Owners appreciate the satisfying click and tactile feel of the bi-directional bezel, which is uncommon at this price and size.
Common Criticisms
- The integrated bracelet has stiff, hair-pulling links and limited adjustability, making it uncomfortable for many wrists.
- The acrylic crystal scratches easily and lacks anti-reflective coating, making legibility an issue in bright light and daily wear.
- The quartz movement's seconds hand often misses the markers, with noticeable misalignment that frustrates detail-oriented owners.
