# Timex Q Diver Reissue Review by A.I. WatchMetrics


## Watch Summary
The Timex Q Diver Reissue is a retro sport diver that revives the quirky 1973 original with its distinctive squared "Q" lume markers, bold unidirectional bezel with aluminum insert, and vibrant orange accents on black dial, targeting budget enthusiasts who want vintage tool watch vibes in a reliable quartz package offering 200m water resistance and Super-LumiNova for low-light legibility.

## Overall Watch Rating: 5.5/10.0

**Dials & Design Metric (8.5/10.0)** - The unique retro markers, crisp bezel font, and balanced proportions deliver standout vintage diver charm superior to standard budget tool watches like the Seiko 5 Sports.
**Versatility Metric (7.5/10.0)** - This rugged 200m diver transitions seamlessly from underwater adventures to casual wear, outperforming pure dress watches in everyday utility.
**Movement Metric (7.4/10.0)** - Quartz reliability with high accuracy and long battery life beats many entry-level automatics in practical performance, akin to Citizen Eco-Drive reliability.
**Material Metric (6.7/10.0)** - Stainless steel case paired with durable mineral crystal offers commendable build for the price, matching mid-tier divers like the Citizen Promaster.
**History & Innovation Metric (5.2/10.0)** - Faithful reissue of a cult 1970s quartz diver adds nostalgic historical value without pioneering new tech, similar to Seiko recraft models.
**Functions Metric (4.8/10.0)** - Time and date basics cover daily needs adequately, on par with simple field watches like the Hamilton Khaki Field.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - The date window provides modest added utility, comparable to entry-level three-handers.
**Brand Metric (3.0/10.0)** - Timex excels in accessible, durable everyday watches like the Weekender, but trails established names in prestige.
**Rarity Metric (2.1/10.0)** - Mass production ensures availability like most Timex models, lacking the exclusivity of limited editions.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.5
## TPS Interpretation: Fair Value: The watch punches above its weight in design flair and quartz dependability relative to its modest price.
## WM Collector Grade: C+
## Performance Insights: Dials & design and movement shine for retro appeal and accuracy, while brand and functions are average; solid budget value under implied $375 price point.
