Triumph branded watches, any thought or experiences?

[GaryA]

I need a new, or old I suppose, watch.
I have the opportunity to purchase a new Triumph branded watch at a discount.
These are just over $600 AUD retail.
That’s more than I have ever spent on a watch, but if it’s good value I am tempted.
They look pretty good too.

Are they any good?

I've had a tissot pr50 for almost 20yrs. Looks good and works. I've had to change the battery twice which requires taking to a watch shop ($40).

Here is one on Ebay for $6 right now

No they are way overpriced at even half that price. The chronometer only have 5ATM 50metre water resistance which is OK forshowering and a spalsh in the pool.

They are on special everywhere at the moment and still expensive in my opinion.
For that price the WENGER swiss series are great value I have an old 7471X/T 10ATM 100metres water resistance that is tough as nails and now on its 4 battery all replaced at home and never a smidgeon of water issues.

45mm dial width, extra large date, 2nd watch on small LH dail and Stop watch or seconds on RHS. I always keep the 2nd watch on GMT/Zulu which was very handy for my work before retirement where we always had Zulu times to convert to local in writing incident reports and arranging foreign military aircraft movements etc.

You would need to know what movement it has and who makes it. Many times a dial is added to a lesser movement to attract a certain market. It may or may not be a watch worth money. I almost bought an Indian Motorcycle watch but was instructed it was not a good value. Do your research.

the gearbox failed on my triumph watch.

 

[stollydriver]

I've got the Expedition watch - never any hassle with it - keeps great time and the strap is superb.

the gearbox failed on my triumph watch.

Classy reply!

Just buy a quality watch - not a cheap POS with a logo. Be quality conscious not brand driven.
I ride Triumph but wear Panerai by choice.
