Timex Standard Owner Review : Original, comfortable and fun

There are watches that we think about, compare, and hesitate about. And then there is the fun gift that seduces us on an Instagram ad, that we wonder when we will wear it, but that we buy because it is nice and cheap. For this Timex Standard x Peanuts basketball, we are clearly in the second case. What made me fall in love: its dial that lights up entirely with a press on the crown. So the quality of the materials does not seem incredible, but it becomes so when you consider its price (105€). It is clearly the watch that shouts to everyone "I do not take myself seriously" and depending on the event, originality is sometimes much classier than the quality of manufacture. Wear this watch to an NBA party surrounded by celebrities wearing watches costing tens of thousands of euros and I am sure that you will have better reactions than if you wear a "classic" Rolex Datejust. A 40mm case large enough to be distinguished, a contained thickness of 9.5mm and a very soft leather strap, make it a pleasant watch to wear. The not very discreet ticking of its quartz movement will remind you of the clock in your classroom. Only a few months in my collection. I will try to have it signed by an NBA player so that in addition to being fun, it has sentimental value. The two-tone and snoopy dial in extra thickness textured with its ball is very pleasant to look at. I never tire of lighting it up in the middle of the night, the superluminova on the hands becomes useless. The battery will certainly need to be changed quickly.
