Thanks, I can clarify.
Both behaviour happens once the watch starts running again. The minute hand, as soon as the second round goes returns to the behaviour of going to the next number at 30 seconds. I tried this on all four watches.
Same as yourself, I feel the hackable movement should be able to fix this.
I have one and for the price it’s a great looking casual beater.
For those here thinking of buying... my peeve is I had 4 (3 gifts) and not one has the seconds and minutes line up... worse when seconds hit 30 the minute hand already is at the next number.
I’m in correspondence with Timex so will see if they at least trade me one decent QA’d one.
I received mine today, it's a bit small for me. Was hoping the 38mm wouldn't be as I like the look of the watch and the story behind it. Unfortunately, looks like I'm going to be returning it. Thanks to all for the heads up on it being available, would not have been able to figure out if I like it or not without your help. 😀
Why is this flying off the shelves? Genuinely curious. Does look cool.
Well if that happens I agree with you. That ain’t right!
Would love to pick up one of these as a "first watch" gift for my youngest son but seem to be sold out in Canada -- except for the resellers marking them 2x. Sigh. Great release from Timex, and about fair value for a Pepsi (**ducks**).
I spoke to Timex support. After sending them a video of the 30 second mark pushing the minutes hand forward, the Timex Engineers agreed the watches were out of spec. Maybe because I bought many watches recently (I also got the Marlins), they let me exchange 2 of them.
Happy to report the new arrivals line up properly and yes they are very fun to wear.
And the U.K. I ordered mine 2 hours ago. Unsure whether I will keep it or give to my son (or just buy another at 160 quid). Looking fwd to seeing it however and comparing to my Pepsi.
When they first appeared. I bought two and gave one to the kid. He loves it.
It’s that time of year. I’ll likely give it to him (he has my seiko mini turtle already).
he doesn’t wear that either.....hopefully he will at some point but it doesn’t help that he won’t wear anything like that to school for fear of getting pinched!
