The watch is a great time piece and looks good too. The only problem is that the band broke and I really didn't abuse it or put it through its paces much. This is a drawback to the whole design as the band is a seamless/one piece affair that your average retailer cannot replace. The whole watch needs to be sent back to the factory and the cost of doing so is just not worth it.

I found many of the Ironman/Triathlon watches have that same design in their bands. Not sure what Timex was thinking.

This watch is certainly for every one, it has the month, date and day of the week that other wtches usually do not have.It also has a chronometer and a count down timer, also not available on most digitals. It also has multiple time screen to be able to tract times at differing time zone in addition to an alarm. It also, has a great nite lite system.Last but not least the face of the watch can be cleared of all digital information if so desired, with the pressing of one button. I picked the white screen.

I am very pleased with my T5E371. I wanted a good water resistant watch with an alarm, analog display, and digital dispaly and got it with this watch. I don't like metal or leather watch bands, so the plastic/rubber band works nicely. The Indiglo light makes it easy to read in low/no light. The timer and chronograph are nice added extras that have come in handy along with the 2 time zones.

I've been using this watch for about a week. And I have come to some conclusions. As a side note, I have used a timex for a couple of years until it broke. It was a great watch and I liked it.

Pros:
- It is pretty nice looking.
- It has dual displays with big digital letters.
- It is relatively comfortable, unless you have thin wrists.
- It has lots functions and it is easy to use.

Cons:
- The accuracy! I am very disappointed that it is far from accurate. In one week the analog dial is 4 secs faster and the digital display 3 seconds faster.
- The bands are, as others have said, weak. They are thin and with designed grooves that will break in the future. And they don't seem to be user replaceable.

Conclusion:
For the price, it is a pretty watch. It is very functional and overall I like it. My only really gripe is the accuracy.

This watch is GREAT. Exactly what i was looking for. I've been very happy with Timex products before, and this one is holding keeping up with my expectations. I like the option to "blackout" the digital part so that only the analog hands are visible.
the only drawbacks or suggestions for future improvement would be:
An easier way to turn the chime on/off;
smaller band-length adjustments.

That's it.

A good multi-function watch, but the watch-band is integral to the body of the watch and does not look like it can be replaced. A decent watch will last forever (and I expect no different from this one), but I've never had a watch-band last longer than a year, and I'm not interested in having to carry it in my pocket after it tears. The band even has ready made tear lines on the inside. JUNK.

The watch is both nice-looking and very functional. I woudl give it 5 stars if not for the band. The band and the watch are one resin piece, hence once the band tears, it is unreparable. I liked this watch so much I tries to repair the band but it kept breaking in different locations.

after a little over two and a half years of abuse from a farm kid that includes being worn in the sun and sweat on constantly, having gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, and some other chemicals from my organic chem lab spilled on it, and being way too close to a welding arc it's just now starting show wear. the band is nice and adjusts to the perfect spots. i'll defiantly buy another if this one ever dies.

Like many people I suffer from poor eye sight and love the indiglo back light as it makes reading the time so much easier. This is my 4th Timex with indiglo and unfortunately the most disappointing of all of my watches. The indiglo is only functional on the LCD numbers not the background so if anything it makes reading the time more difficult.

Its a pleasing time piece to wear and many people have commented on the good lucks.

Such a shame the indiglo feature is different from every other Times watch I have.

Nice watch, but Timex should have made it so that the analog and digital sections stay synchronized together. You have to reset one or the other every few days if you want them in sync.

I have a Casio watch that was half the price that keeps analog and digital in sync automatically.
