5.0 out of 5 stars Nice watch good price, September 29, 2005

I actually bought the model 50031 with the black resin band and not as much silver around the lens but they are otherwise the same. This is a nice watch. It is noticably lighter and not as bulky as similiar watches. The numbers are large and clear. I wish the numbers themselves were thicker and blacker to be even more readable. This watch uses a CR1620 watch battery. The battery it uses is engraved on the reverse of the watch but not found elsewhere in the manual. The battery has an average life of 1.5 years. That concerned me at first but I found a place to buy them online in bulk at a good price. I bought 5 spare batteries for $3.50, enough to last me awhile. It was nice to open the package and find the watch was keeping accurate local time for me. No setting required. I did an manual sync of the time with the Atomic Clock in Colorado and had no problem. I am happy with this watch and glad I bought it. Would recomemend it.

I was looking for an inexpensive watch that sets itself via US Atomic Clock signal and found it in this watch. I love the indiglo light feature. The face does get scratched up a bit if you bang it against stuff. I like the cloth band with velcro. Being cloth, the band does absorb sweat so it will need to be washed with mild soap periodically. Not a bad watch at all.

One of the things that I like best about this watch is the fact that it is not this massive bulk of plastic on my wrist. It is still kind of plastic looking, but it is thinner than any other atomic watches that I was looking at. The wrist band is just a strip of velcro but I actually like it better than my old leather band because I work on a computer and my old band did not flex very well. The one thing that did concern me was that one time I accidently changed the time while working on my car (the buttons got pushed in by accident). For the next several days it would never re-sync no matter what I would do. I manually reset it to within 30 seconds of my wall atomic clock so it was not a big deal... the watch still keeps good time, but the principle of having a atomic watch bothered me. It had always re-synced every night even though I lived in a basement apartment! During the week that it didn't re-sync, I tried everything from putting in on top of my wall atomic clock to leaving it on a window sill facing west towards CO. I finally gave up and was about to call Timex when one night, in the basement, sitting on my dresser, the watch re-synced and has been ever since. I am not sure why it didn't re-sync for a week or why it suddenly started; but the point is that it doesn't need to re-sync every single night. Just be patient.
