A classic style, with classic lines and curves, and leather to band it all underside enlivens time as if it were the first sun rising. Timex brings in this watch what time once was: a simple and pure marking of moment to moment.

This watch has no internet connection. It has no date feature. Triathlons and moontrips are not recommended while wearing this watch. But this watch, in giving you time, will bring you the world.

Wear this watch with your best suit, with a sharp white shirt and, if the weather is chilly, wear a plain plaid wool scarf. With a silver-hued frame and rich black leather strap, you will notice heads turning, wishing they wore this fundamental accessory. Traditional ensembles are timeless, and will lift you above the less dapper, less dashing dancers at the dinner ball.

When she sees you, that love of your life yet unmet, know what time it is. She'll want to know, and you will be prepared. As you provide the time, she'll provide her name. Always know the time, and you'll always know her name. Forget the time, and she may leave without notice.

Take her hand with your right hand. Your watch is worn on the left. The Easy Reader model has large digits, and only takes a glance to know how long you have for the ferry, for the sunset, and for the moon to rise. Your love will grow without hurry.

If things get late, have no worry. Indiglo lighting will illuminate the face with a swift press of the button.

If, by owning and wearing an Easy Reader Timex watch, you are able to share with her your time, know that when tomorrow comes, she'll give you the time of day.

This watch is, in my opinion, gorgeous in its simplicity. I also like that it is sort of the ultimate "not fancy" watch. It has no extra buttons, no date function and it proudly says Timex at the top. The indiglo feature is the only concession to technology and I love that, too -- it works great. One reviewer said it was a bit thick. Doesn't seem so to me. The band doesn't seem like the highest quality leather (would you really expect it to on a watch at this price?) but it looks good to me on the wrist. I have several much more expensive watches and, at the moment, I'd have to say this is my favorite.

I bought this for my mom's birthday. She loves that the watch face is clear and very readable. She has had eye surgery and can see the face of the watch and numbers without any problems.

The Easy Reader was my step-mother's choice when her eyesight began to dim. After her passing, while going through her estate, my wife discovered the old watch, still ticking faithfully. A former nurse, she has always worn practical watches, and this one suited her well. She may wear a more attractive piece of jewelry when we go out, but still wears the Timex at night, although she has to be careful not to get it wet - it's not highly water-resistant.

A discount store clerk, endeavoring to change the battery, destroyed the original watch, but the store replaced it, saving us even the cost of a battery. The first watch ran flawlessly for some 15 years, and this one is now approaching it's sixth anniversary without a hiccup.

She likes the plain case, the large, easily readable face, and the Indiglo backlighting that not only lets her see the time in the bleary hours before dawn, but that it is large and bright enough to light her way to the bathroom without turning on a light and waking me. I guess I should appreciate that feature too. The band is handsome, if cheap, but will last a year or so, and can be replaced with a bit better product when needed.

If you want a reliable second fuss-free watch for telling time, and not necessarily to make a fashion statement, this is your choice. Personally, I rather like the look and may have to buy my own. JK won't let be borrow hers . . .

I have had three Timex easy readers. While these watches have a great look that is very classic, they are not very durable. Each of my three watches has stopped working in less than a year. I am sure they can be easily fixed, but since these things are so cheap I don't bother taking it to a watch repair man who will charge me more than the cost of the watch to fix it, I just buy a new one.

I bought this watch for my mother for her 99th birthday to replace one with a broken band. She loves it because it is so easy to read. I have always been pleased with Timex watches.

I was very disappointed with this product, and this seller. I bought this watch as a gift for my Mother (she needs a simple, easy to read watch). After she had worn this watch for 2 months, it stopped working. At first we suspected a bad battery, but after she didn't wear it for a few days, it started working again. And then with a little shake, the watch will stop working again... so obviously something inside is loose. Regardless of it being a bad battery or some loose connection inside the watch, it shouldn't be doing this within a few months of average wear.

So after reading the information that came with the watch, my understanding is that I am to mail this watch to Timex (at my expense); and then include a check for $8.50 made payable to Timex, so they can pay to mail it back to me. The watch was only $22... so I'm supposed to pay another $12-$14 total to get the thing working the way it should have in the first place? Being annoyed with this situation, I emailed the seller and all they did was tell me that I was correct... that I had to return this watch to Timex and send the check along for the return of the watch.

Now I realize this was a very inexpensive watch; but I expected more than 2 months of average use by a middle-aged woman for the $22; and I expected a more serious warranty from Timex; and much better attitude and effort to make the situation right by the Amazon vendor (Chelsea Watch). Therefore, I will NEVER buy another Timex product and most certainly NEVER buy another product from Chelsea Watch.

I'VE HAD DOZENS OF TIMEX WATCHES....THIS WAS THE TYPICAL EASY READER...IT HAD A GREEN LITE WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON...ONLY THING I DIDN;T LIKE WAS THE PICTURE OF THE WATCH LOOKED LARGER THAN THE ACTUALL WATCH WHEN I RECEIVED IT...NICE PRODUCT AND TIME SHIPPED

This watch is perfect for anyone who wants a watch that is simply a watch. It has great big numbers, a second hand and even an indiglo feature, for viewing in less-than-adequate light.

I give it 5 stars because it does precisely what it is supposed to do and does it well.
My only small complaint is the strap. While it does work just fine, it feels of somewhat lower quality than the actual watch part.

Watch looks and feels good and works great. For the first few days it ran slow -- but I recall the same experience with a Timex a few years ago. Since then it's been dead on.
