Stock Alert: Timex Deepwater Reef 200 Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

Timex Deepwater Reef Quartz – $219

It doesn’t look, feel, wear, or sound like any old Timex (no super-loud TICK). It doesn’t look or feel like a Timex at all. What it does feel like, is a really well made, truly handsome, short-lugged diver with a quick release bracelet and drilled lugs so swapping in NATO, rubber, or leather straps is a relative breeze.

Heck of a recipe, that. It’s gotta be the best Timex in production at present.

The original full review can be found over here, but here’s some quick hit stats for the curious:

  • model: TW2W95200
  • size: 41mm width x 12mm thickness x 22mm lug width
  • movement: Quartz (battery)
  • does it make the loud Timex “TICK“? No. While it does make a “tick” because it’s quartz, it’s much quieter than their obnoxiously loud cheap watches.
  • water resistance: 200m
  • crystal: Sapphire
  • etc: Quick release bracelet for easy strap swap outs. 120-click bezel. Super-Luminova hands and hour markers. Wave pattern dial. Double Push button clasp. No date.

 

The Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Quartz WatchThe Timex Deepwater Reef 200 41mm Quartz Watch

41mm diameter and 12mm thick. Shown on a 7.5″ wrist.
Wears a little larger than that, but still accommodating for a diver.

 

Wave pattern dial. Skeleton-like hands with super luminova.

 

Bracelet has quick release pins for easier change-outs.

 

The one negative: No micro adjustment holes.
So you better hope you like how it fits based on link removal alone.

 

H-link bracelet is almost entirely brushed.
Great proportions on this thing.

That’s all.

Carry on.
