Let's face it, this is just a very cool watch. I mean, just look at it. Straight-forward, no-nonsense, and easy to read. Nothing techno-geeky about it.

Timex produces a number of such watches that are an ideal choice for outdoor activities. They are durable, resistant to the elements, and if they are lost it's no big deal. And is anyone going to rob you for a watch that costs less than $30? If they do, so what? Something to keep in mind if you do a lot of travelling.

On the practical side, I find nylon and leather watches straps to be far more comfortable than metal-link bands under most situations. Particularly when out all day in the sun.

There is a time and a place for watches that are essentially jewelry. But when travelling or in the outdoors it's nice to have a watch that is comfortable, absolutely dependable, and something you're not at all worried about.

I got this watch six years ago, when I was working at Fort Knox, Kentucky. I'm in the military, its dial shows the 24 hours and even better, It works just like the first day I bought it. It doesn't have a date window, but maybe "simple things are better things" ;-) . I recommend it at a 100%.

It is worth, for the Money i paid 17 US$ , for a simple watch. black color display gives additional look, and so far working good.

A good sports and casual watch

I am still using this watch. I love it. I use it when I play badminton, and jog, and even to my office.
im still wearing it use it everyday. still the same original battery.
A good watch for out door jogging and riding.

We were required to get a analogue watch for our nursing program, I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I wanted a watch that would last. Well this watch filled this need! After nearly 3 months of constant wear the watch continues to keep perfect time. The band is a bit discolored, is now more of a yellowish gold, but remains functional. If you need an inexpensive watch I would suggest this one, it worked wonderfully for me!

I bought this watch because I loved the vintage Timex that JCrew used in all of their female catalog shoots. However, I didn't want the pay the $150 JCrew price. This watch is a perfect $20 substitute. I love the military fashion statement and I wear it all the time. It fits perfectly on my female wrist and looks great!

Hard to complain because the watch i received was exactly how it looked on the website. Unfortunately, there wasn't an audio clip in the product description that would've described how prominent the TICK-TICK-TICKing on this timepiece really is. Call it high-maintenance, but I have to keep this watch in the bathroom with the door closed to get some shut-eye. Barring the noise, I think it's a nice, handsome watch.

If you're looking for a simple, no-frills watch for someone with a slender wrist, this is hard to beat. It's nicely sized for such people, the strap isn't overly long, and it wears very comfortably. It looks great, it tells accurate time, and does nothing else - no illuminator button or anything else to run down the battery. It's very easy to read day or night. The hands, hour markers and second hand are all brightly luminous, and a few seconds' exposure to a bright bulb keeps them glowing all night. The ticking can be loud, but usually it's not all that noticeable unless you're one of those people who are bothered by such noises. (I wear it snugly, which seems to help muffle the sound.) It's water resistant against splashes, but not immersion, so it can be worn in the shower, but not while bathing or swimming. My only concerns about it are the plastic crystal and the durability of the strap. The strap is very thin nylon, but seems to hold up well, and dries out almost immediately if it gets wet. The hook on the buckle has a lot of play, so it can be a little tricky to line up with a hole in the strap. Also, the buckle tended to itch a little until I got used to it. The watch case is almost more brown than green, so if the strap does wear out or fail, I'm sure a conventional leather strap would look fine on it if the nylon strap it comes with is unavailable.

I love this watch: it has absolutely no frills, feels great on my wrist, and looks fantastic. I highly recommend it.

To start, the watch keeps time very well, and looks very nice doing it. It does have its flaws however. First, it is unbelievably loud, each tick of the second hand is quite audible. The larger complaint I have is its lack of water resistance. For in the shower or washing dishes the watch preforms fine. Once submerged however, it fails instantly. Even during short intervals of time(20seconds), and very shallow depths (less than 1 meter) and in varying bodies of water (ocean, lake, river, pool) the watch cannot preform up to the standard described in its description. I must say though, that it does still work even with the condensation covering the internal face to the point where it is near unreadable. Within a week or so the condensation typically evaporates. Overall a nice watch, keep it out of water and out of libraries and it'll treat you right.

I bough this watch for my son. It look like a replica of the Timex Disposable U.S. Army Military Field Watch, just missing the H3 logo (for Tritium). It's very light, the wrist band is soft and confortable. A cool watch for the price and the 8-year battery life, but i think it is more kids and young adults oriented.
