As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Please note that these are pretty small. The 40mm one may be OK, but my daughter wears one of the smaller ones and she is 4. I will need to measure tonight.

The bezel action is impressive on these. Screw down case back is good. For a $20 watch, it is pretty good, for $5 it is a great stocking stuffer or fun summer watch. Great for kids as they love the bezel click. Probably one of the better bezel clicks that I have played with (not many). Strap is OK and it is a plastic case, but it is still pretty cool.

Looks like my soon to be 3 year old daughter will have an ICE watch to terrorize and twist the bezel! Thank you to [mention]yinzburgher[/mention] and [mention]Sporkboy[/mention] for the deal and the background info.

Great prices for these - very tempting. It’s the shipping cost to Aus that hurts us.

EDIT: now sold out, but there are similar deals to be had from the same source, by the same method.

We've seen some Timex MK1 deals in here lately, but I don't believe we've ever seen a Timex MK1 CHRONOGRAPH dip below the $20 threshold.

Until now. How does $15.99, with free shipping, sound? (VERIFIED)

Link to deal: https://www.ashford.com/timex/tw2t10600.html

Use coupon code ASHTW20 to get the 20% discount (off of $19.99) and the free shipping.

NOTES: 40mm diameter; copper tone aluminum case (so it should be feather light); domed acrylic crystal for better and for worse; Timex's chronograph movements are known to quiet compared to their infamously loud 3-hander movements.

There are also other all-time great (yes, even greater than before!), super affordable Timex deals to be had on Ashford using the same coupon code (please dig around), but this was the one that stood out to me the most.

A great deal on this, but I was too slow and it is out of stock. I guess it is the world telling me I didn’t need it.

ASHTW20 seems to still work: it took 20% off the Timex in my cart at Ashford. I had to give them my info before the discount appeared.

That takes this 36mm Waterbury under $20, incl. free shipping (tested):

I think the price on this blue Waterbury model TW2P95700 has dropped yet again. With the above code, it now comes down to $15.99 a pop. So of course I had to buy 2 :roll: , one to rock and one to stock.....or possibly to gift. I know this is listed as 36mm women's watch on a few sites, but it's actually 38mm which is a good size for me. 18mm lug width unfortunately but I think I have a couple straps that will work. Thanks for posting, fellow cheapskates!
