Men's Intelligent Quartz® Tide Temp Compass 45mm Watch

Amazing watch, lots of features. Looks stunning and catches a lot of eyes. Everything works but the compass can be finicky. If you surrounded by lots of electronics with high voltage or inside a lot of thick metal (Navy Ships for example) it throws it off but once you leave those areas it works again. Honestly if you really need to use a compass you won't be anywhere near interfering objects. But its a great watch, keeps time perfectly. I've had it a week and it hasn't even differed by a minute so its accurate

A rugged and modern watch, perfect for those who value both style and functionality. Its sporty design stands out, and features like compass, tide, and temperature make it ideal for outdoor adventures. Comfortable, accurate, and backed by Timex’s trusted quality.

I must have gotten a defective one. The time hands are misaligned. The watch stops and then starts again for no reason. The compass needs to be calibrated every single time. It will point to north once, then the next time it points randomly. Its a shame because its a great looking watch. But a watch that doesn't tell time, has a compass that points me in the wrong direction, well it kinda defeats the point. Timex is usually very good quality, so its a disappointment.

I have 3 of these watches and they are great to wear..

The Pros: + Very handsome looking + Beautiful, super comfy brushed leather wristband + Accurate watch mechanics + Lumenescent hands and dial + Temperature taking + Water resistant watch and band + Great customer service + Four year extended warrenty for $5 US with one phone call to live agent + Large selection of interchangable bands + Has highEST tide indicator hand The Cons: - Time difficult to read - Most of face dedicated to temp scales - No hour numbers nor numerals on face - Poor instructions - Poor compass - Face printing not accurate - No alarm - No moon phase - No hour chime GENERAL This Intelligent Quartz compass watch comes in dozens of different configurations and features, depending on the model and year. My watch is the T2N721 Tide-Compass-Temp watch. It has a cream (aka natural) colored face, and a brown brushed leather wristband. It is a large watch, very handsome looking. Interestingly, Timex has sort of hide the name Timex in small font under the top bezel. Anyone looking at the watch being worn will not see that it is a Timex. They will just notice a very attractive looking time piece. OBSERVATIONS The brown brushed leather wristband is actually one of the nicest features of this watch. Beautiful medium brown band, almost suede-like, super comfy and durable. Rugged clasp. The hands of the watch are the same color as the face, making time reading somewhat difficult. Especially with three other hands to sort out. ( Second hand, red indicator hand (aka fourth hand), and highest tide hand). On the positive side, the hands and dial are very lumenescent, watch is very easy to read in darkness. Go easy using the Indigo light-it is very bright and will drain a battery with regular use. Mostly this is a temperature taking watch. Two temperature scales, Celcius and Farenhiet, take up a large portion of the watch face. To the extent that there is no room for hour numbers or numerals. Instead, there are small black squares where to indicate the hourly positions. Actually they are not small black "squares", but look like small black trash cans or waste baskets to me. Great for seeing how much time you are wasting at work. And if you are bored, you can always take an ambient room temperature reading. I would of much prefered to have a moon phase indicator than a temperature feature. Temps are everywhere: on our cell phones, on TV, the radio, and on our little thermometers. Moon phase is not as ubiquitious as temp, and also ismuch more usefull. Plus, this watch would really look awesome with a nice moon phase indicator. The printing of the watch face is poor. If this watch was made in Switzerland or Japan, all the minute marks would be equi-distant and aligned. But this watch is made in the Phillippines, so we cant expect such attention to detail. The hours 'till high tide and low tide numbers are not aligned with the waste baskets, niether. There is a silver hand that most people dont know the function of. Timex makes no mentio of it in the directions. Most people think that the function of the silver hand is to make the watch look cool. But it actually has several different functions. This is the "highest" tide indicator. When setting the high tide hand, when the circle in the silver hand perfectly frames the chrome date bezel, this indicates highest tide. Also useful for reading highest tide. The compass is a disappointment. Accurate to only + or - 45 degrees. It will give general direction bearing, and often this is all you need. But never depend soley on the watch compass. Make sure you have a real compass on hand as well. (Cell phone compass app should suffice). The compass is difficult to calibrate. You should be at least 250 yards away from any motor vehicles or iron fences. The directions for calibrating the compass do not remind you that you need to "set" the red indicator hand (aka fourth hand) first, before you even think about calibrating the compass. Failure to first set the indicator hand first (like I did) makes compass readings be way way off. The date can be tricky to set also. Here again, the instructions are poorly written. My date was a day off every day, even though I followed the directions and reset the date every day. Anyone experiencing this problem should disregard the date setting instructions. Pull the crown all the way out, (not half way out as per the directions), and advance the watch hands 12 hours. Push crown all the way in when done. SUMMARY This watch has been in production by Timex for several years now. This model seems to be being discontinued. It is very hard to find new ones in the box available anywhere at any price now. This particular model, with the cream colored face and brown leather strap is fast becoming a collectors piece, largely due to its beauty. I predict that by Christmas, 2014, you will no be able to find this watch new in the box for sale except for the occasional one on ebay. Expect to pay around $200 US if you find a new one for sale. I feel lucky to have been able to find a new one for sale. I live on the coast, and I am a boater. The tide, and highest tide feature is very nice and very accurate. Plus, as mentioned, this is a very cool looking watch.

Right off the bat you need to know you may not get a new (as in never sold or worn) watch. This model from the Timex T2N collection has been out of production for several years and apparently Timex in the Netherlands has a number of the watches available. This was the second watch I bought from Amazon. The first one shipped from the UK proved to have a faulty compass motor. It was returned to the UK (on Amazon’s dime, of course.) The second watch—the one this review covers-- came from Amazon USA and has been a delight to own in spite of it, too, being very lightly used. First, it was missing the plastic guard under the crown which prevents the watch from running and wearing down the battery. Second, the strap shows signs of being used. Lastly, the box was not original to the watch. However, unlike my first purchase, this one came with tags and instructions and aside from the strap showing slight use, looks brand new. It was also $1.50 cheaper and I note Amazon has reduced the price again by half a buck from what I paid for mine. At under $80 this watch is a STEAL! Just look at the prices here for the same watch but with a different colored dial and strap. If this type of watch appeals to you with its many complications--in the watch world, the term “complication” refers to any function that does something other than basic timekeeping—this is one you should consider. While on the large side, it is comfortable to wear. The leather watch strap is well made and very durable but if you want to change it, Aliexpress is the place to go with prices 1/3 to 1/2 the price of the identical item on eBay. NOTE: my intent is not to be a shill for Aliexpress who clearly want to be known as the Amazon of Asia----they are not---but if you are willing to risk $10 for an item that is $30 on eBay, consider them. I also recommend spending $5.00 for Amazon's buyer protection plan which gives you a total of four years coverage. Over the years I've filed several claims with Allstate (who administers Amazon's plan) and have zero complaints. I’m a big fan of all things Timex and this one is one of the nicest ones I own. 5 ***** for sure.

Great nice looking watch. Keeps time and compass is dead on if on a flat surface. We'll worth the price

Utmärkt!👍

Rubbish watch that doesnt work properly. It loses time, and is inaccurate.

Relógio excelente! Grande, funcional e robusto. Ideal para atividades ao ar livre ou para um estilo casual e despojado. Bússola, Tábua de Maré e Termômetro. Tudo isso em um robusto e belíssimo conjunto. Relógio sem concorrente. Vale cada centavo. Existem alternativas muito boas, senão melhores que G-Shock.

Ordered the watch and it came in a secure package, without any damage. The product it self is really amazing to have if you are a watch enthusiast. Th watch functions are also very cool, Tide • Temp • Compass. Ready for exploring the outdoors. This is one of my top watches I own this year, highly recommended.

I loved the watch considering it looks super cool with high tech super busy dial. Indiglo night light looks very nice at night. The watch gives the information accurately. Its just sad that we don't have sea in Riyadh otherwise I'd have used the tide functionality as well. I bought the watch for SR 489 which I believe is a very reasonable price for such a watch. The dial is huge so ensure you have a wrist broad enough to carry this watch. The silicone strap is very comfortable to wear.
