The band for this watch can be adjusted to fit comfortably between the following wrist circumferences.
150 - 205mm (5.9 - 8.1in)

How to choose the right case size
Case diameter determines the watch size: it’s the width of the watch case, excluding the crown. Small wrists (<6") suit 28–36mm, average (6–7") fit 36–42mm, and larger wrists (7"+) can wear 42mm+. Smaller cases can feel refined or vintage-inspired, while larger ones make a bold, modern statement.

A Fresh Take on Retro-Futurism
Our Marlin Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a sleek 38mm brushed stainless-steel case. However, its most defining feature is the domed crystal. Made from Hesalite—a refined form of acrylic favored for its clarity and ease of maintenance—the crystal covers the entire top surface of the watch case, enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name and bringing captivating depth to the watch's retro-futuristic appearance. It blends seamlessly into...Our Marlin Jet captures futuristic design ideals of the ‘60s with understated details and a sleek 38mm brushed stainless-steel case. However, its most defining feature is the domed crystal. Made from Hesalite—a refined form of acrylic favored for its clarity and ease of maintenance—the crystal covers the entire top surface of the watch case, enveloping the grooved bezel bearing the Marlin name and bringing captivating depth to the watch's retro-futuristic appearance. It blends seamlessly into the flat case sides, leaving only the lugs exposed. The case sides smoothly transition to a screwed-on exhibition case back that mirrors the crystal’s domed contour, enhancing the watch’s streamlined profile and space-age aesthetics. You’ll find a concentric circle pattern in three key locations on this timepiece: beneath the dome on the inner bezel, on the crown, and on the case back. The black, green, or blue matte concave dial showcases a crosshair pattern punctuated with a date window beside the 3 o’clock marker. Completing the look, we’ve paired the Marlin Jet with a double-layered black, green, or blue woven perlon strap that introduces a subtle textural element to its clean design.

Mechanical Automatic Movement
Automatic watches have no battery. Instead, these "self winding" movements use the natural movement of your wrist as a power source.
Mechanical Automatic
Powered by You
A mechanical automatic movement winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist — a rotor inside spins as you move, storing energy in a mainspring. This spring slowly releases power through a precise series of gears and an escapement, driving the hands in a smooth, sweeping motion. It’s a self-sustaining engine, no battery required. When worn daily, it stays powered continuously — keeping perfect time without needing to be reset.

Acrylic Crystal
A lightweight plastic polymer with excellent impact resistance and a warm vintage appearance that can be easily polished to remove scuffs.
Acrylic Crystal
Highly impact-resistant
Acrylic lens are a specialised form of plastic akin to Plexiglass and were commonly used in early to mid-20th century watches. It is a softer material that can be more prone to scratches but conversely is very shatter-resistant. Given its softness any scratches though can be buffed out. Acrylic lens are synonymous with vintage-inspired timepieces and thus can be found on our Marlin and Q Timex collections.

The original Marlin watches first stepped into the spotlight in the 1950s and matured into a centerpiece of Timex’s broader collection in the 1960s. Today's Marlin collection draws inspiration from that era, pulling both from Timex archives and '60s culture more generally.
Marlin is pure 1960s cool, delivering substance and style in equal measure, with unwavering swagger. Timeless and sophisticated, it's a watch that captures the best of the past while continuing to push Timex’s legacy of style, disruption, and quality into the future.
Our Promise for the Next 170 Years
Since 1854, no other watchmaker has ever been able to match our ability to put a well-crafted watch on your wrist, while leaving money in your pocket. Every Timex is a testament to our legendary durability and value, and a reminder to make time yours.
"While I’m not in the spotlight myself, I see what’s trending in the music studios. It’s no longer just about $50,000 gold watches; there is a major shift toward "affordable chic. " * The Taylor Swift Effect: Seeing an icon like Taylor Swift wearing this exact watch has solidified its status. It proves that you don't need to spend a fortune to have "it" factor. Granted it's a man's watch, but small enough that women can wear this particular watch as it appears to look smaller than the pictures shown online. The gold and black dial is the watch that's sought out by music mogules."

Overall great watch with good
"Overall great watch with good build quality. Extremely light which is great with this form factor."
— Andrew A. (4/5)
While this watch IS 38mm
"While this watch IS 38mm it looks more like a 36mm due to its design and smaller dial. Due to these attributes, a 40mm or 42mm version would be ideal for customers familiar with other Marlins."
— Nate G. (4/5)
Sleek and attention-getting—and affordable—semiformal watch.
"Sleek and attention-getting—and affordable—semiformal watch. My 6th or so automatic Marlin (only way to go; I wish more Timexes were automatic /mechanical)."

Q&A
Can I put a regular leather watch strap on this watch?
Hi Jim! All our watches are sold as shown in the product images, so we do not offer customization, such as changing the band strap. However, you can purchase a separate replacement strap with the correct lug width if you’d prefer a leather strap.
I love this watch but unfortunately I've been banned from buying watch for awhile, my wife is being mean to me! Is this color combo Black and Gold going to be a permanent fixture?
Hi Charles! First off, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for the Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm Fabric Strap Watch—we love hearing from passionate watch fans like you. And we totally get it… sometimes the household watch ban hits harder than expected (we’re rooting for you!). As for the Black and Gold color combo, the current Marlin Jet with a gold-tone case and black fabric strap is part of our new arrivals and eco-friendly collection, but like many Timex styles, color availability can vary with new seasons and collections. While we can’t guarantee it will be a permanent fixture, keeping an eye on our website or signing up for updates is the best way to know if it becomes available again in the future.
Do these fit women? Can you change the wrist band?
Hi Lee! Thanks so much for your question. The Marlin® Jet Automatic 38mm watch can definitely be worn by women, though the 38mm case size might feel slightly large depending on wrist size. That said, many women love the bold, vintage-inspired look! And yes, you can absolutely change the strap—as long as the replacement matches the correct lug width, you’re good to go. It’s a great way to personalize your timepiece!
