There’s a reason Timex has been a cornerstone of American watchmaking since 1854. In an era of smartwatches and disposable fashion, Timex continues to deliver something rare: honest timepieces that marry heritage, durability, and affordability without ever sacrificing style.
At Ninety Stylz, we believe a watch is more than a tool—it’s a testament to personal style, a daily companion, and often, an heirloom in the making. That’s why we spent months testing Timex’s 2025 lineup in real-world conditions: from ocean swims and mountain hikes to boardroom meetings and weekend brunches.
WATCH
Dress Sharp. Stand Strong. Live Boldly.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or buying your first severe watch, this curated guide to the 10 best Timex watches for men will help you find a timepiece that doesn’t just tell time—it tells your story.
1. Timex Intelligent Quartz Tide-Temp-Compass
For The Man Who: Lives for the outdoors—sailing, fishing, or exploring
This isn’t a watch; it’s a dashboard for the outdoors. With built-in tide tracking, temperature reading, and digital compass functionality, the Intelligent Quartz Tide-Temp-Compass is engineered for those who need data at a glance. The 45mm case is both rugged and wearable, and the digital display integrates seamlessly with an analog elegance.
Key Features:
Tide tracker + temperature sensor
Digital compass
100m water resistance
Full analog-digital hybrid display
Indiglo light
Why It Stands Out: Few watches in this price range offer genuine tool-watch functionality. This is a modern classic for sailors, anglers, and adventurers who refuse to choose between the charm of analog devices and the utility of modern technology.
Wear It With: Performance outdoorwear, technical jackets, or post-adventure casual looks.
2. Timex Fairfield Supernova
For The Man Who: Believes in modern minimalism
The Fairfield Supernova is the ultimate contemporary dress watch. With its slim 41mm case, clean dial, polished stainless steel bracelet, and sunray finish, f that feels both premium and accessible. This is everyday elegance, perfected.
Key Features:
Slim 41mm case
Sunray dial finish
Polished bracelet
Date window
Quartz precision
Why It Stands Out: It proves that great design doesn’t need to be loud or expensive. The Fairfield is subtle, sophisticated, and incredibly versatile.
Wear It With: Suits, blazers, smart casual wear—even a crisp white tee and jeans.
3. Timex Easy Reader
For The Man Who: Values simplicity and clarity
The Easy Reader is perhaps the most iconic watch Timex has ever made—and for good reason. With its high-contrast dial, large numerals, and reliable quartz movement, it embodies the essence of functional elegance. The 38mm case is timeless, and the leather strap ages beautifully.
Key Features:
Ultra-legible dial
30m water resistance
Indiglo light
Slim profile
Affordable price
Why It Stands Out: Some designs are perfect from the start. The Easy Reader is one of them—a watch that has served generations of men with quiet reliability.

4. Timex Marlin Automatic
For The Man Who: Appreciates heritage horology
The Marlin Automatic is a throwback to the mid-century dress watches that made Timex famous. With its 40mm case, domed acrylic crystal, hand-winding automatic movement, and sunray dial, this watch is designed for purists. It’s elegant, mechanical, and loaded with nostalgia.
Key Features:
Hand-winding automatic movement
Domed acrylic crystal
50m water resistance
Leather strap
Exhibition caseback
Why It Stands Out: In a world of quartz, the Marlin Automatic offers the charm and craftsmanship of mechanical watchmaking—at an astonishingly accessible price.
Wear It With: Blazers, tailored trousers, crisp shirts—perfect for formal and smart-casual settings.
5. Timex Expedition North Field Chronograph
For The Man Who: Balances adventure with everyday refinement
The Expedition North Field Chronograph is the definition of rugged elegance. With its 43mm gunmetal or stainless steel case, bold luminescent markers, and triple-subdial chronograph layout, this watch is built for readability and precision. The 100m water resistance means it’s as comfortable on a trail as it is at a casual Friday outing.
Key Features:
43mm stainless steel case
Chronograph with ⅓-second subdial
Indiglo night-light
100m water resistance
Quick-release silicone or leather strap
Why It Stands Out: This isn’t just a field watch—it’s a modern tool watch with vintage military charm. The brushed finish resists scratches, the crown guards protect against impacts, and the domed mineral glass adds a touch of classic sophistication.
Wear It With: Field jackets, denim, flannel, or casual chinos. Perfect for weekends, travel, and outdoor adventures.
6. Timex iQ+ Move Analog Smartwatch
For The Man Who: Wants innovative features without the techy look
The iQ+ Move is the watch for those who love the idea of a smartwatch but hate the look of a screen on their wrist. It tracks steps, sleep, and calories—all while maintaining the elegant profile of a classic analog timepiece. Bluetooth connectivity lets it sync silently with your phone, delivering notifications through subtle hand movements.
Key Features:
Activity + sleep tracking
Bluetooth smartphone sync
50m water resistance
Slim 41mm case
Leather or mesh strap options
Why It Stands Out: This is a smartwatch for people who appreciate tradition. It’s the perfect gateway into wearable tech—without screaming “I’m wearing a computer.”
Wear It With: Business casual, tech-minimalist style, bright denim looks.
7. Timex Waterbury Dive Chronograph
For The Man Who: Wants dive-ready performance with retro flair
Inspired by Timex’s historic Waterbury collection, this dive chronograph combines a unidirectional bezel, 50m water resistance, and bold luminescence with mid-century design charm. The 41mm case wears comfortably, and the chronograph adds practical timing functionality.
Key Features:
Dive-ready 50m water resistance
Unidirectional bezel
Chronograph with subdials
Luminous hands and markers
Vintage-inspired case shape
Why It Stands Out: It’s a legitimate tool watch that doesn’t forget its roots. The classic Waterbury styling—clean lines, balanced proportions—makes it equally suited for underwater exploration and dry land style.
Wear It With: Everything from swim trunks to blazers. A true all-rounder.
8. Timex Men's Expedition North Tide-Temp-Compass Watch
For The Man Who: Lives by the rhythms of the sea and the elements

Why It Stands Out: This is one of the few affordable watches that truly serves as a functional outdoor instrument.

The bold 43mm case is both legible and wearable, and the corrosion-resistant stainless steel case back ensures long-term durability.
Wear It With: Sailcloth jackets, technical outdoor gear, board shorts, or post-beach casual wear. Perfect for anyone who lives near the water or dreams of it.
9. Timex UFC Men's Pro 44mm Watch
