Is The MacGyver Watch Timex's Best Value Ever?

Wondering if anyone has had experience in swimming and shower with it?

Sadly, I disagree. The only thing that stops me from agreeing with you is the stem. I’ve not owned a Timex analog watch that held on to it’s stem more than a few days. I’m old so I can’t see digital watches’ digits very well but I found a Timex, an Atlantis 100, on the ground at a landfill about 15 years ago that is my favorite beater. One thing I have to say about Timex is they will replace their watches that fail or give a discount on a replacement. I have returned several for replacement. One other thing is water resistance. I have not had a 30 meter rated watch leak. I wear my watches in the shower, pool, and ocean. In salt water, I would wear a 30 meter watch when snorkeling. I know this kind of wear is beyond the factory specs but a field watch must by definition survive and thrive in the bush.

My god this watch is audible throughout the video 😂

September 18,2023 watch now $66.00. 3 times more expensive

Are they still available?

I guess you would be totally against
The Accutron spaceview 214 models with the constant humming.

Nice watch, personally I went with the Lorus Lumibrite, you get a 100m water resist and that insane lumibrite dial, my one is almost a decade old and is still looking great.

Thank you for posting this helpful video

A nice looking watch. I really like wearing a good field watch and have quite a few of them from other brands. At around this price point though I can recommend the field watches from Lorus. The Lumibrite version at £29.99 here in the UK has mineral glass and is very slim on the wrist and has 100M water resistance. The Lumibrite watch face however is just as good as this Timex but also has the day/date complication. My Lorus came on a fabric strap but because it felt quite flimsy I put it on a good leather strap. Nice video though and would maybe add this Timex to my collection in the future. I have a Hamilton Khaki King field watch with a day/date and it's totally worth the price I paid for it, the only downside being the water resistance down to 50M from 100M but the upside being the sapphire crystal and the increased power reserve 80 hours.

Hard to say as there were so many models on the market by Timex

Do you know where to get this in the actual MacGyver color scheme anymore?

Bueno hoy me llego mi TIMEX EXPEDITION ACADIA T49101 9J WR50M mi primer TIMEX INDIGLO que solo me costo unos 43,69 U$S con envió mas 3 U$S de sellados de aduanas y ya compre para hacerle compañía un Casio FT500WC-3BVCF Forester que solo me costo unos 47,63 U$S pero tengo que esperarlo casi 30 días y a eso sumarle los 3 U$S.
Como vivo en Argentina donde un reloj de 15 U$S lo venden entre 30 a 45 U$S la única forma en que puedo comprar relojes es trayéndolos
de USA con TIENDA MIA.

I have this watch. I don't understand what he means by the noise. I have never even noticed the noise on this watch.

That's a shame about the noise. Got the same issue with Swatch watches. Not an issue I've ever had with even the cheapest Casio.

Any leads on where to find one of these in 2023? Not sure I can make myself buy a khaki field after finding this

Nice if they would of had a black nato

cool video and the dome is interesting for Crystal… But what gets me about Timex is why so much glow-in-the-dark when it has the fun feature INDIGLO … and I mean fun it's so cool.… I hope that glow stuff is not radioactive I heard some was

I guess MacGyver never swam. Those who swim check out Timex Expedition Camper or Expedition Scout.

Nice watch.

I used this exact watch for years in the military in field environments. Great watch. Where can you buy it now? Amazon is out.

These do look nice, but I just get annoyed by the way the second hand bounces when it stops. Casio can make a cheap, quiet watch that doesn't do that.

The quartz line vs the automatic of seiko is a little pushing it....

Wish it was 34 or 36mm.

This guy can talk man !

Cant seem to find this anywhere can you share the link for India?

I have the Timex expedition scout solar; the tick sound is non existent.

I would buy it.

Try behind the wrist bone, much more comfortable.

My dressier Timex 42 mm T2P219 has 100 m water resistance but then its more expensive and its basically an oversized camper with a leather strap. You can’t go wrong with the design - been around practically forever and its the classic field watch. Nothing else Timex has made is like this icon in their collection. Simple and rugged which is why MacGyver always wore it.

I like that watch a lot. Wish it was still that price. $100 on Amazon.

Great model! Love the vintage look and nato strap
I would buy 5 in US or Europe
Here in Brazil this cost R$ 600,00 (reais) it s ridiculous

Can anyone tell me what is the case material please? Is it stainless steel or brass?

I just checked the Amazon link and now it's 99.99 in Canada.

beautifil watch!

The steel chronograph has 50m water resistance for some reason

Very good video, we are watch manufactuer from china, if you want buy watches, pls do not hesitate to follow up my yutube, I will introduce our new models everyday.

Aluminium is a poison not good to wear this on your wrist.

The seiko deliberately tries to be even smaller with that concentric circle because not all watches are designed to cater to the desires and wants of the giant Western Man. Timex, on the other hand is an American brand

Thanks for remembering MacGyver. Brings back wonderful memories of the tv series. I wore one of these watches before. Absolutely timeless design in whatever color. Yours is a nice color as well. New on your channel. Liked & Subscribed. More power to your channel. God bless.

I have an 8" wrist and I find anything smaller than 40mm is too small. That's what steered me from the Seiko. I'm thinking about this one for a weekender.

Seems to be unavailable in Australia. I like the way Timex watches look, but honestly they are cheap pieces of cr@p. Better save up for a Hamilton.

Very comftable to wear..the indiglo is a bonus..though the lum is long lasting..very simple..durable..classic watch..I have one in black..one of my favorite features in this watch is the dome glass..love it..

I’m a sucker for dome too bro

I have the original mechanical version which was bought back in the 80s. The new one I bought (black version) cost me SGD150! (Singapore dollars) Timex prices are crazy here!

I have the stainless steel version. I like it very much but in real life I don’t feel that it is that close to the original MacGyver watch because of the larger diameter. I had several field watches between 36 and 38mm sizes but this one with it’s 40mm size feels quite different for me even if the design is the same. I like it’s loud clicking, for me it is a positive :)

The price is now over $70... thanks Biden.

Dude, i like your hairstyle.

Do you think it could work on a six inch wrist?

The Noise is unreal. Hate that. Won't buy a Timex ever again.
