I’m Not a Watch Guy, but I Know a Good Timex Deal When I See One
It’s Amazon Prime Day. Want more savings intel? Scope out our picks for the best Prime Day clothing deals to refresh your closet, then head to our mega-guide to the best Prime Day deals for everything else worth your hard-earned cash.
PSA: Prime Day has unleashed a slew of bonkers-good deals on Timex watches. I’m no horology obsessive—we have colleagues for that—but I do have an uncanny knack for sussing out watches that look, in industry parlance, extremely sick.
As it turns out, even self-professed watch snobs indulge in a cheeky little Timex on occasion, as a treat. Which makes perfect sense: you don’t have to be a deep-pocketed collector—or even so much as “watch guy”—to appreciate the calculus behind handsome design + killer price = unbeatable value. And thanks to Amazon’s summer deal fest, Timex watches are clocking in at their lowest prices all year. So whether you’re desperate for dress watch to accompany your wrist on the wedding circuit or are in search of a field watch a dayhike with the besties, here’s every Timex I’ve got in my hypothetical cart.
Last updated 11:30 a.m. ET Thursday, June 25: We re-checked every price, cut expired deals, and added two standouts: the Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter and the retro-cool Timex Q.
My Favorite Prime Day Timex Deals
Timex Easy Reader Watch
Watches have come a long ways from just being able to tell you the time. Now they can track your heart rate, stream music, and even give you the nitty gritty on just how well you slept. But the Easy Reader scoffs at all that. It’s simple, none-too-flashy, and everything you actually need. This was the first watch I ever bought for myself and is a cinch to style with any outfit, high or low, dressy or casual.
Timex Weekender Watch
The Weekender is a personal favorite, and it deserves a little more credit. Don’t let its name fool you: it’s simple, clean, handsome, and far better suited for everyday wear. Its no wonder that it remains one of Timex’s best-sellers, and that we keep recommending it to newbie watch buffs looking to build out their rotations. This version boasts military-inspired details like 24-hour markings and a leather NATO strap, perfect for adding a jolt of rugged charm to to your weekend tee and jeans—and your weekday Oxford and khakis.
Timex Expedition Scout Watch
Inspired by vintage army watches, the Expedition Scout, a perennial Timex best-seller, features a durable webbed strap, vintage white dial, 24-hour display, and subtle glow-in-the-dark hands. Pair it with a lightweight field shirt, cargo shorts, and hiking boots to lean into its outdoorsy bona fides, or undercut its casual vibe the Pitti Uomo way: with an unstructured jacket, worn-out jeans, and beat-to-hell suede loafers.
Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter Watch
Everything about this Marlin Chronograph oozes vintage cool, from the motorsport-inspired dial to the tachymeter bezel framing the case. It’s the kind of watch that elevates just about anything you wear, whether that’s a rumpled Oxford and pleated trousers or a plain white tee and faded jeans. Never underestimate the versatility of a classic Timex ticker, especially one with a little racing pedigree.
Timex Ironman Triathlon Endure 30
If you’re one of those brave souls committed to running a marathon—or bewilderingly, a triathlon—you’ll need a good training regimen and a rock-solid coach. We can’t help with the latter, but the next best thing might be this adventure-ready Timex. It’s literally engineered for Ironman competitions thanks to a built-in stopwatch and lap-timing features, along with shock-proofing, waterproofing, and a light-on-your-wrist feel that won’t weigh you down. The only thing it can’t do? Yell at you to push harder.
Timex Ironman Triathlon Classic
Before smartwatches started tracking every waking moment, there was the Timex Ironman. The original sports watch still tells the time, takes a beating, and runs for years on a single battery. The Classic is the closest thing to the old-school Ironman formula, while the Endure above adds a larger case and a few extra modern touches. Either way, if you’re attempting to embrace a more analog world, you could do far worse than a Timex Ironman—its entire ethos is centered around hardened durability.
Timex Harborside Coast Watch
I’d love to get my hands on a fancy submariner, but I have to face two realities: I will never use it for its intended purpose and I don’t have the salary for that. Timex’s Harborside alters my reality into something actually tangible: a dive watch that can go deeper than I can swim without sinking my savings account.
Timex Waterbury Diver Chronograph Watch
The Waterbury revives one of Timex’s most coveted calibers and brings that classic mid-century design to a 21st-Century audience. This one takes the form of a beautiful chronograph complete with sub-dials and a tachymeter bezel. Pretty enough for a tailored suit, capable enough for a swim suit and a day of surfing.
Timex Marlin 40mm Watch
Timex’s Marlin line includes some of its most handsome models, and this mossy-green ticker is a perfect example of the art deco style that vintage hunters love. The sunburst dial, the classy silver stick indices and ‘30s-era Arabic numerals all blend beautifully. And who doesn’t love an exhibition case back?
Timex Q Women’s Watch
We’re contractually obligated to remind you that some of the best watches on sale aren’t technically made for men. The gold-tone Q Timex pairs a rich brown dial with vintage-inspired styling for a watch that feels plucked straight from the 1970s, and its smaller proportions make a compelling case for looking beyond the men’s section.
