Casio World Time Royale Watch Review (AE1200WH-1CV and AE1200WH-1AV)

I purchased a Casio AE1200WH simply to test out StrapHabit's TQ18 replacement straps, but I liked it much more than expected. At only $29 MSRP, is the Casio Royale a budget G-Shock? Read the review to find out!

Q Timex 38mm Reissue vs. Timex M79 Automatic Watch Review

Q Timex 38mm Reissue vs. Timex M79 Automatic Watch Review

Nick Lehner

It wasn't until I started learning more about the Timex catalog that I realized that there is an automatic version of the Q. The M79 is about $110 more than its Quartz sibling. Is it worth paying for the upgrade?

Although technically not part of the Q line, the Timex M79 Automatic shares the desirable design DNA with the Q Timex. On paper, it is a strong competitor to the Seiko 5KX. Is this a watch that enthusiasts should consider more seriously?

At StrapHabit, I receive a lot of messages asking for strap recommendations for a particular watch. While I love the opportunity to interact with customers and hear about their favorite watches, I thought that it would be useful to provide an in-depth guide.

Q Timex Three Time Zone Chronograph Watch Review - White and Black - TW2V70100VQ and TW2V69800VQ

Q Timex Three Time Zone Chronograph Watch Review - White and Black - TW2V70100VQ and TW2V69800VQ

Nick Lehner

The Three Time Zone Chronograph has a more modern look than other Q Timex models. The dial looks modern, with round, raised indices with large lume plots. It loses some of the charm, but adds a GMT function that is a bit quirky. Does it belong in the Q Timex line?
