MK1 Automatic 40mm Fabric Strap Watch

I’ve been wearing the MK1 everyday since I received it. 40mm is the perfect size for this watch so don’t listen to the naysayers. It’s a nice homage to the old school aesthetically with a more modern fit. It looks great on the wrist and very strap friendly so you’ll have many options with the 20mm lug size. Wait for a 20% off sale and grab it guilt free. It should retail for about $50 less than it’s MSRP, but I’d not feel as if I were ripped off even at retail. Love the direction Timex is going but wish they’d follow their roots and start building more heritage watches in the United States.

Not so fond of the way the strap is configured. The 2 fixed metal clasps seem excessive and (I think) will rub against long-sleeve shirt cuffs. I also wanted to buy a spare strap at the same time I bought the watch, and there is simply no way to do that on your website.

The MK1 is a good choice for a simple, daily-use watch. It’s stylish but keeps a slightly “rugged” look. My only complaint concerns the strap. It’s thinner than I thought it would be. I think it could use a thicker strap. Other than that, this watch is a solid choice for anyone trying to save a little money and still get a good watch.
