The question is why? It's a $20 movement in a poorly finished case. The most important part of the watch isn't made in the USA. It's a $50 product being sold for $500.
Further, it completely misses the point of what made Timex famous to begin with; excellent quality at a low price. This is neither.
For $500, they are going up against some vastly superior products. For example, this cannot hold a candle to any similarly priced Seiko.
The price is, frankly, insulting. It would be an iffy sell at $50, but at $500, this has complete failure written all over it.
