For the asking price of $250, you cannot fault Timex for using the 8215. Long the defacto entry-level movement, while the 8215 is basic, it is also inexpensive, reliable, and simple to service. Available in four core versions, three in steel and one in gold-tone, the Marlin Automatic has that Grandpa charm that characterized so many watches from the 60s. While I really wish the minutes hand was a bit longer and I think the date window would benefit from a simple frame of some sort, the domed crystal looks great in profile and the easy-wearing proportions and minimal dial text make for an unobtrusive wrist presence that is casual without being especially sporty. If you need something a bit less flashy for a casual office or want to get a mechanical watch that won’t challenge your ability to make rent, the new Timex Marlin Automatic looks like a solid option.
