I've been eyeing a J Crew Timex Military watch for several months but always get drawn away by the price. $150 for a Timex!?!?!? Does anyone know any retail stores that sell these models similar to J Crew for less? For some reasons I cannot accept the logic of paying that much for a Timex.

Amazon has a great selection of Timex watches. The only walk-in stores I know that sell Timex are Target & Walmart.

I'll give Target a try. I wonder if they carry similar faces to the J Crew models... I'll let y'all know. I'm sure there are other users who have encountered this..

The Timex Easy Reader with a NATO band from a vendor is in the ballpark.

Got the one on the bottom I'll post pictures soon. Total spending $17.99 (band) 1+$32.99 (watch) =$50.98 Total Savings over $100

+1 for timex easy reader and nato band.

But FYI, I scratched the **** out of mine recently...so face is easily scratched...but you just have to tell yourself that you're putting "hella nice fadez" into your watch.

That's awesome. Where is that band from? Also does this go well with a lot? Or can is it limited to what you can wear with it?
