Timex has kicked off its annual spring sale, and this year it’s putting 25% off some of the most elevated and feature-rich pieces in its lineup.

We’re not just talking about your everyday Weekenders here — the brand has included complicated and sport-dress models from its Marlin and Waterbury families, two lines that represent the best of what Timex does at an accessible price point.

That said, a note of caution: our data shows that the base MSRPs on several of these watches have quietly climbed since their original releases, meaning the discount prices you’re seeing today aren’t quite the slam dunks they once were.

You’re still getting the most affordable path to owning any of these pieces — the savings are real — but context matters.

Welcome to Shop Smarter: A series dedicated to highlighting not just what’s on sale, but why it’s worth owning. Discover more here.

The standout of the bunch is the Marlin Moon Phase, a 40mm dress-sport piece with a lunar cycle sub-dial, full calendar display, hand-applied indices, and a crocodile-patterned leather strap — a lot of watch for the money.

Also included are two versions of the Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter — the first chronograph ever made in the Marlin line — offered in a stainless-steel bracelet or perforated leather strap. Both feature a domed acrylic crystal, tachymeter track, and the line’s signature retro square markers.

The Marlin Jet Quartz Chronograph is the most design-forward entry, defined by a dramatic domed Hesalite crystal that wraps the entire case top in a retro-futuristic silhouette.

On the Waterbury side, the Traditional Chronograph is a clean, 100m water-resistant workhorse, while the Metropolitan Chronograph dresses things up with a two-tiered bezel and black dial — the better pick for wearing past the starting line.

Timex Marlin Moon Phase 40mm Leather Strap Watch

The Timex Marlin Moon Phase is a mid-century-inspired quartz watch that punches well above its price point. The 40mm stainless steel case houses a green dial with a moon phase complication — a feature more commonly found at far higher price tags. An acrylic crystal gives it a period-correct warmth, while the quick-release brown leather strap makes swapping easy. At 12mm thick and 52 grams, it wears comfortably without demanding attention.

Timex Marlin 40mm Stainless Steel Chronograph

This the lowest price we’ve seen for Chronograph version of Timex’s popular Marlin line. While the silver dial on bracelet is selling for the biggest discount, three other iterations are also part of the sale.

Timex Waterbury Ace Chronograph

Timex puts an aviator-inspired twist on its long-running Waterbury line with the Waterbury Ace. Available in this chronograph and a three-hander version, both models feature 41mm stainless steel cases, 100m of water resistance, quartz movements and classic pilot’s watch styling.

Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter Leather Strap

The Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter is the first chronograph in the Marlin lineup, and it makes a strong case for itself. The 40mm stainless steel case pairs a blue dial with three sub-dials, a tachymeter bezel, and a date window — a lot of function for a watch at this price. A domed acrylic crystal reinforces the mid-century aesthetic, while the perforated brown leather strap nods to the driving watches of the 1960s. Quick-release lugs and 50 meters of water resistance round out a package that’s hard to argue with for the money.

Timex Q Timex Chronograph Blue Panda

Added after the original panda and reverse panda Q Timex Chronographs, this blue version boast a more modern look, trading in the faded cream color of its brethren for bright white accents to complement the brilliant blue dial. But there’s more going on here than a mere color change, as this version of the watch also gets an upgraded, PRX-adjacent bracelet.

Timex Waterbury Traditional Chronograph

The Timex Waterbury Traditional Chronograph is a bracelet watch that draws on the brand’s American roots without leaning too hard on the nostalgia. The 41mm stainless steel case houses a blue dial with a full complement of chronograph subdials, a date window, and a tachymeter bezel — all powered by a reliable quartz movement. A mineral crystal and 100 meters of water resistance make it more capable than its dress-adjacent looks suggest. The deployant-clasp bracelet keeps things polished, and at this price, it’s a lot of watch for the money.

Timex Waterbury Metropolitan Chronograph 41mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

The Timex Waterbury Metropolitan Chronograph is a dress-leaning sports watch that doesn’t overcomplicate things. The 41mm stainless steel case is just 11mm thick, giving it a slim, refined profile that pairs well with the black dial and polished finish. Chronograph pushers flank the crown, and a mineral crystal keeps things scratch-resistant without the added cost of sapphire. The butterfly deployant clasp on the steel bracelet is a thoughtful touch at this price point. It’s a clean, versatile chronograph that works as well in a boardroom as it does on a weekend.
