If you are looking for a reasonably priced watch that won't embarrass you in public, you could do far worse than the Timex Men's Watch with the expandable band. I have been unintentionally eliciting snickers for my Casio with the liquid digits. I was looking for something smart that goes back to a classic look, so I ordered this one. The blue face dial is a nice look, and it lights easily in the dark.

One challenge with the Casio is trying to light up the watch in a darkened theater (during an obviously bad movie) without activating the rotation of feature resets. By the time I finished beeping through the features, I received such a case of small-mouth from fellow movie goers. No more. And the expandable band makes it a good, snug fit. It reminds me of the old Speidel twist-o-flex wristbands you could buy to spruce up your old watches in the 1960's, even down to the constant itch I got when I initially wore it. However, I have had the watch for two months now and am satisfied with the watch during normal wear-and-tear situations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A simple watch, March 26, 2008

Keeps time good. Easy to adjust the band size (Sometimes is a little tedious though) It looks sharp without the high price tag. Even though it doesn't look like it, pretty rugged, at least from my experience with this particular Timex line. Very easy to read the #'s on the face.

Now the negatives. If you flip the watch over and look at the back cover it says "WR 30 M". Well I have had water get into several of these watches, it was a very small amount though, just enough to fog up the watch. So just be careful to make sure you take it off before washing dishes, or a shower.

Secondly, changing the day and date is a pain in the rear to some degree. Once its set, no big deal. Basically, it would be nice if Time installed another knob on the watch. Right across from the current one. Dedicated specifically to the day and date.(This way it would look balanced?)

Would I recommend it? Yeah I would. For the price you get yourself quite a decent good looking rugged watch. It's easy to avoid the water. And like I said, once you get the day and date set, no problems there either.

Like all products it could be better.

UPDATE 2-08-11

This wonderful wrist watch had survived a lot up until now from when I bought it, scuffs, scrapes, bangs. The face had even gotten bubbles in it where I was using it while welding and it was still going strong... But one thing it couldn't survive, me trying to change the battery. I somehow screwed my watch over and knocked loose the second hand, or a gear when installing a replacement battery. *Was trying to reinstall the back plate on the watch*.. I consider myself pretty competent, but I do make mistakes... anyways, not sure what I did exactly, but I did it very well. Long story short, its been a great watch and I'll be ordering another one.

*sighs*

I had purchased a T20461 from Walmart for my uncle recently and I liked it so well, that I decided to buy the T20031 and T20471 for myself from Amazon. These are supposed to be the same watch with the same style expansion band; the only difference is the color of the metal and/or dial face. The fit of the T20461 was perfect for my wrist, and required no adjustment. However, the fit of the T20031 and T20471 was much tighter and not all that comfortable. I decided to count the links in the watches, and found that the T20461 from Walmart comes with 2 more links than the T20031 and T20471 from Amazon. It seems that the bean counters at Timex have figured they can shave a few pennies from the cost by reducing the number of links in their watch bands. I did notice that the packaging and plastic holder of the watch from Walmart is different than that from Amazon. Obviously, the watches are from different manufacturing batches. Whether the Amazon series is older or newer than the Walmart series is a mystery. However, I can vouch for the fact that the Amazon series being delivered at this time are shy two links in the band. So unless you have small, girly wrists, you might want to pass on this series of expansion wrist watches. Other than this issue, the T20031 is a pretty nice watch.
