This amazing look for less comes to us from an alert reader named Hannah! Based on an iconic 1940s military style from the Timex archives, this Timex vintage field army watch is $150 exclusively at J.Crew.
I bought this watch, had to return it because it TICKS SO LOUD. I couldn't sleep at night it was so loud. Cheaply made. Even if I took it off and left it on my dresser it was too loud, I had to put it in another room. Extremely cute watch but the ticking will drive you mental.
I got the same watch (the Target version) with a coral strap for my birthday. I love that you can change out the bands (got the mint green one)! I haven't noticed the ticking being super loud, but I don't sleep in a watch so that could be it. The budget version is definitely the way to go.
I just got the Target watch and it is totally a great buy. The ticking is louder than my Michael Kors watch, but I only hear it if I put my head close to my ear. Like 'resting my head on my hand' close, not lying in bed with it on my bedside table. Definitely not a deal breaker.
I've seen this watch on Target before. I think it's silly that Jcrew tries to charge $120 more for something that is pretty much the same (even though I love Jcrew!)
