Is there truly no love for Timex?

Because I have a young family and money is tight, I’ve had to sell off my more expensive watches and have decided that to satisfy my watch addiction for the next few years I’m going to rely on Timex watches. I’ve already got a few but I’m going to continue to build my collection.
I’ve really found some sharp looking pieces out there and wondered if no one on here has much love for Timex?
Surely in this forum folks could share some of their Timex watches? I know there used to be a dedicated…

Smaller Affordables Thread – 39mm or less

I sort of fallen out of love of big watches this winter season. It is really uncomfortable to wear a 43mm wide 14mm thick chonker under your sweaters and jackets. I have seen the light and found appreciation for my more modestly size watches that just fit under the cuff and are unobtrusive.
