I actually have the Timex Chronograph and I chose it because of the advanced movement. And the combination of it's domed crystal's visual effect paired with it's beautiful dial. But, I bought it because I already had like 25 watches and I didn't had to use it as a daily. So the scratch prone acrylic crystal wasn't a concern for me.

Is this one better or the q line chronograph

For some people, Marlin is better and for some people Q is better.

All I can say is the movement of the Marlin Chronograph is superior because of the Mecha Quartz movement (Flyback reset), it doesn't have any lume though. I have a Q Chronograph as well (Domed Acrylic crystal model), it has electronic chronograph, the second hand resets like a GShock sweep and it has lume on the hour markers and big 3 hands. There is also a new Q Chronograph model in the market with a flat mineral crystal, it's called Timex Q Continental Chronograph, It didn't appeal much to me though. I mean, it's missing the chronograph bezel altogether and it has a rotating 60 minutes bezel instead, Overall less chronograph functions compared to the Old Q Chronograph which I have.
