When Timex launched the Q last summer, it became a hit almost immediately. Sold out for months on the Timex website (but, at press time, available here), the simple but stylish vintage inspired quartz watch traded for a substantial premium on watch forums and resale outlets, and there was a long stretch of time when it seemed like you couldn?t open Instagram without being inundated with Q photos. It was as much of a phenomenon as we?ve seen in the value driven watch space in recent years. Still, some complained. Watch lovers are a finicky bunch. While many were thrilled with a meticulously detailed quartz throwback (complete with a battery hatch on the caseback) some die hard enthusiasts vocalized a strong preference for a mechanical movement. And even though the the red and blue ?Pepsi? bezel was historically accurate to the original Q, some watch fans just want to watch the world burn, and prefer a darker, perhaps more “Batman-esque” palette. Well, Timex heard their fans, and have delivered on a watch that many have been conjuring in their mind since the reintroduction of the Q last year. Let?s take a look at the new M79 Automatic.
