Casio isn’t the only watchmaker that can serve up a compelling square-shaped digital timepiece. The Q Timex Ana-Digi Watch comes straight from Timex’s 1982 archives. It’s not a cash grab riding on the renewed popularity of vintages. This timepiece is a legitimately original brand-born design, bestowing it with genuine conversation-piece status. Imagine the satisfaction: Someone asks you if your Ana-Digi Reissue is a Casio. You discerningly respond, “it’s a Timex, actually.” Don’t forget to point out that swanky throwback Q logo.
This watch has everything you want from a retro-cool digital and everything you want from an ‘80s-style analog. From the former, you get functions fit for an international spy (refreshingly unhackable, unlike a smartwatch). Use the side pushers to operate dual time zones, the alarm and date, and the chronograph. From the latter, you get the ritz factor—especially if you go for the gold colorway. And at 33 millimeters, the Q Timex Ana-Digi Reissue is fantastically unisex, dress-code-versatile, and age-adaptable.
