Men's Navi XL Watch

I have three Timex automatic watches, kept them together with my other automatic watches(Tissot, Glycene, TagHeuer, Invicta…) in the watch winder. The automatic in Timex seems to be so rigid that they only „keep on ticking“ when being worn on the wrist. The watches are cheap, and that’s where you see it…

Really like this watch, good look, weight and keeps good time! Nice watch at a great price.

While I own over a dozen high value automatic watches, I must say that I found this Timex watch to be both a quality made watch and an excellent value. In fact, I've owned this automatic watch for over a year without having any issue with its auto mechanism or stainless steel housing. The Timex Navi XL 41mm Automatic Red Brown is a timepiece that blends vintage-inspired design with modern reliability. As part of Timex’s Navi XL collection, this watch takes cues from classic dive watches, offering a bold aesthetic and automatic movement at an accessible price point. Below is a comprehensive review assessing its key features, strengths, and potential drawbacks to help prospective buyers make an informed decision. Design & Build Quality One of the standout aspects of the Timex Navi XL is its striking color combination. The red dial immediately catches the eye, providing a unique contrast against the brown leather strap. The 41mm stainless steel case offers a robust yet comfortable presence on the wrist, making it suitable for both casual and business settings. The case has a brushed finish, lending it a refined yet rugged look, while the unidirectional rotating bezel enhances the watch’s functionality for timing purposes. However, the mineral crystal covering the dial is prone to scratches compared to sapphire crystal, which is commonly found in higher-end watches. Movement & Performance This watch is powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement—most likely the Miyota 8215, a well-known workhorse movement used in many entry-level automatic watches. While reliable and durable, this movement lacks hacking seconds, meaning the second hand does not stop when setting the time. The power reserve is approximately 40 hours, which is standard for automatic watches in this price range. One notable advantage is the transparent case back, allowing wearers to view the movement in action. This feature adds an element of mechanical fascination, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship of automatic watches. Comfort & Wearability The genuine leather strap is comfortable out of the box and complements the watch’s overall aesthetic. However, some users may find that leather wears out faster than metal or rubber alternatives, especially with frequent use in humid conditions. The lug width is 20mm, making it easy to swap out the strap for a NATO or stainless steel bracelet if desired. At 41mm in diameter and 13.5mm in thickness, the Navi XL has a balanced wrist presence—large enough for readability but not overly bulky. The water resistance of 100 meters makes it suitable for everyday wear, including light swimming, though it is not a professional dive watch. Pros & Cons Pros: ✔ Attractive vintage-inspired design with a bold red dial ✔ Reliable automatic movement with a transparent case back ✔ Comfortable leather strap with easy strap-change compatibility ✔ 100m water resistance, suitable for daily wear and occasional water exposure ✔ Unidirectional rotating bezel for added functionality Cons: ✖ Mineral crystal is more prone to scratches than sapphire ✖ Miyota 8215 movement lacks hacking seconds ✖ Leather strap may wear out faster compared to other materials ✖ No screw-down crown, which would enhance water resistance The Timex Navi XL 41mm Automatic is a well-designed timepiece that offers great value for those seeking an affordable automatic watch with a bold aesthetic. Its combination of vintage styling, solid movement, and everyday durability makes it a compelling option in the entry-level automatic market. However, those seeking a more scratch-resistant crystal, hacking seconds, or a screw-down crown might consider alternatives in the same price range. That said, for enthusiasts who appreciate Timex’s heritage, a bold dial, and an automatic movement at an accessible price, this watch is a solid purchase. Final Verdict — The Timex Navi XL 41mm Automatic delivers style, heritage, and reliability at a competitive price point, making it a great choice for those seeking a distinctive yet practical automatic timepiece.

Excelente acabamento, muito mais bonito pessoalmente

This is the most beautiful Navi XL in market.Excellent quality,more beautiful than seen in photo. Japanese movement, Chinese Straps, assembled in Phillipines.

Es un reloj muy bonito tiene un tamaño excelente para mi muñeca ni muy grande ni muy pequeño. Tiene un mecanismo automático que hasta ahora me ha funcionado muy bien. De los 3 colores que vi de este modelo el azul qué es este. Sin duda es el que más me gustó más. Lo volvería a comprar sin dudarlo. Si tuviera que ponerle algún pero sería la lupa que trae el cristal ya que en general nunca me ha gustado ese detalle en los relojes este trae su lupa para ver el día del mes. Fuera de eso me parece un reloj excepcional.
