I want to like this watch.
A lot of the time I find the logos and lettering on men's watches rather garish. Timex may be the best out there, by just typing out their name in a plain no bullshit font. It's perfectly circular with lugs sticking out at an (almost) right angle. And I'm no snob, if a cheap watch would do the job then all the better.
But then there's the shiny finish that would look more at home on a bathroom fixture, and the 13mm thickness that kind of defeats the purpose of the otherwise rather dressy look. To Timex' credit the website also shows a sideways photo to demonstrate the thickness. Presumably to lessen the rate of returns?
The search for a dress watch below 1K continues.
