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.

I absolutely love this watch.
"I absolutely love this watch. I had to remove 4 links, but after that, it fit perfect. I never thought I would like a quartz watch so much because I'm more of an automatic type of guy, but this watch is so awesome. The blue changes depending on the light source. Beautiful blue. It took 2 attempts to get the watch set to exact time, but on the second try, I got it. I look at this watch several times a day because of the floating hour markers. That's actually my favorite part of the watch. The high polish stainless gave me a concern that it would be a fingerprint magnet, but it's not. And the great price gave me concern that the stainless steel would feel light, hollow and cheap, but I'm happy to say that this watch does not feel cheap at all. The stainless steel case and bracelet has substantial weight to it like it should. Thank you Timex, you have done the impossible. You made a perfect watch. I normally wear a 41mm or a 42mm but because of the unique barrel case design, this 39mm watch wears perfect on my wrist. I'm very pickey about the watches I wear. Some people call me a watch snob. But this is one watch I'll wear any day of the week and I'll never sell this watch. I've already had 3 people compliment this watch, 2 of which were females. The best watch purchase I've made in years. Thank you again Timex"
I love the retro style.
"I love the retro style. I've had several compliments. The only thing I wish Timex would add is microadjustmens on the clasp."
Fantastic watch. Love the build
"Fantastic watch. Love the build quality and the retro design. I own a lot of watch that cost me 10x what this watch costs and I love wearing my new Timex."
Super nice quartz , retro
"Super nice quartz , retro , comfortable. The finish is top notch, the bracelet easy to size and having the quick releases is nice for those wanting to change the look with a new strap. Like the easy access to the battery when needing replacement . The face has a nice sunray and the blue pops . Also a fan of the plastic crystal , it has a certain vintage look and scratches can be easily removed . Timex did a great refresh on this design."
I love the retro vibe
"I love the retro vibe of this watch my dad had one similar growing up but never knew what happened to it so it reminds so much of him and makes me think of him. It’s pops watch!"
It’s awesome !!! I also
"It’s awesome !!! I also have the same one in the gold tone."
Great watch! Much better in
"Great watch! Much better in person. The blue dial varies nicely depending on the angle of light. The markers are tall, which adds to the overall sculptural feel. Easy to adjust links to fit (I have tools on hand)."

Q&A
- Hi, I have an 8.3 inch wrist. What is the band length for this watch and what is the max wrist size it will fit?
- Hello Matt! Thank you for your question about the Q Timex® 1972 Time Machine Reissue 39mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. The band can be adjusted to fit wrist circumferences between approximately 150 – 205mm (5.9 – 8.1 inches). With an 8.3 inch wrist, the bracelet may fit slightly tight depending on how you prefer the fit. Please note that we do not sell extra links for this bracelet, but a local jeweler may be able to help check if additional adjustments are possible.
- Are extra links available for the bracelet?
- Hi Kevin! Unfortunately, we do not sell extra links for our watches. If the bracelet doesn’t fit comfortably, we recommend visiting a local jeweler who may be able to assist you with adding compatible links or resizing options.
- Does this watch band have micro adjustments? The owner's manual PDF says it does, but the photos don't reflect that.
- Hi Angela! Great question, and thank you for checking in. The Q Timex® 1972 Time Machine Reissue does not feature micro adjustment capabilities. It comes with a fold-over clasp and a bold geometric link bracelet, which gives it a sleek vintage look. The owner's manual PDF is a general guide for Timex analog watches, so it may reference features not specific to this model
