The stock leather strap is considered surprisingly good and complements the watch well, though some owners also find the bracelet to be good. One owner notes the acrylic crystal scratches very easily. Some owners express concern about the 40mm case and 46.3mm lug-to-lug measurement fitting smaller wrists. One owner laments its quartz movement and 24-hour subdial. Overall, owners rate the Timex Marlin Chronograph Tachymeter 40mm Leather Strap Watch highly for its vintage styling and value.
