The Q Timex GMT takes the compact, late-1970s look of the Q reissue and gives its fourth hand a useful job: keeping another time zone in view. It retains the details that made the three-hand watch so enjoyable—the sharply defined steel case, raised acrylic crystal and wrist-friendly proportions—without turning into an oversized travel watch.
Introduced in 2022, the GMT is worth distinguishing from the ordinary Q when browsing: look for the extra hand and 24-hour bezel, rather than the three-hander’s 12-hour scale. The bezel lets you shift the reference time without resetting the hands, a simple pleasure if you regularly call across time zones. The coin-operated battery hatch is another welcome carryover; inspect its slot for damage from clumsy battery changes. Acrylic picks up marks more readily than sapphire, though light scuffs can usually be polished away.
What owners love
- The independently adjustable GMT hand is rare at this price, making it genuinely functional for travelers and enthusiasts.
- The 38mm case size and compact lug-to-lug give it true vintage proportions that wear comfortably even on smaller wrists.
- The bi-color Pepsi bezel and domed acrylic crystal deliver a nostalgic 1970s look that stands out among modern affordable GMTs.
Common Criticisms
- The bracelet feels flimsy and rattly, with sharp edges and a difficult clasp that many owners replace immediately.
- The bezel action is loose and imprecise, often rotating too easily and lacking a satisfying click.
- The acrylic crystal scratches easily with daily wear, and replacement parts are hard to source from Timex.
