As far as I'm concerned, Timex hit it out of the park with the Marlin. While it may in fact look and feel like a $200 watch – not all watches can or should be fancy – it's worth taking a closer look. The watch is a re-issue of the original Marlin produced in the 1960s. The time-only stainless steel watch was named after the Marlin fish and its water-resistance (yes, fish are water-resistant). Today, the new version of this watch doesn't look much different from its predecessor. It still has a 34mm stainless steel case that comes in at a slim 10mm thick. Retaining the original measurements makes the new Marlin rather small for a modern watch, but honestly it wears great and looks like something right out of the mid-century. It is great to see that Timex is sticking to its roots on this one.
