Timex 2026 watch launches

Overview

In late July 2026 Timex partnered with fashion designer Todd Snyder to refresh the Marlin Mesh line, adding a stainless‑steel mesh bracelet and three new dial colors while switching to a quartz movement. The collaboration, part of a series that began in 2016, was priced at $199 and marketed through both brands’ retail channels.

A week later Timex introduced its own Retroware Digital watch, a 46 mm resin‑case model styled after mid‑1980s digital sport watches and priced at $149. The new piece offers typical digital functions, 50 m water resistance and quick‑release strap changes. The release was accompanied by a review of a separate Naval Watch produced by LOWERCASE, highlighting Timex’s broader strategy of offering varied analog and digital options across price points.

Together, the two releases illustrate Timex’s dual approach in 2026: extending collaborative, fashion‑forward analog collections while simultaneously expanding its affordable, retro‑styled digital portfolio.
