My Mom Loves This Watch, February 8, 2007
I got this for my mother for Christmas, and I'm very happy to report that this is the one gift I gave in 2006 that perfectly fit the recipient's wish list. She loves it.
She had worn the same watch for over twenty years, and that one had finally had it. Truth be told, my mom isn't really that much of a watch-wearer, but had been wanting a replacement for those times when she wanted to have one, even as just an accessory. Now, she wears a watch all the time.
While the watch face isn't huge -- it's reasonably sized -- the numbers are very easy to read for the eyes of a grandmother, and the font is attractive. Even the little date number inset on the three-o'clock side of the face is easy to read, and while she'd never had a watch with a date on it before, she realizes now how much she appreciates it.
It's a handsome watch in a classy gold, and she also loves the band, which is very comfortable and expands and contracts with movement nicely.
Lastly, and I get a kick out of this; she adores the indiglo feature. Her previous watch had a little light-up button on it (one of the old-style teeny-tiny fron-the-side lights which never really threw off enough light, and even that had expired years before, and the indiglo light illuminates the whole face very nicely and clearly in a pleasing blue glow. She tells me that sometimes at night she'll press that button just because she can. What a nice thing to say! :^)
To sum up, my mom wears this watch all the time, and I can tell she really loves it. The fact that she wears it so often tells me that it was the perfect gift to get her in 2006!

Great watch, August 26, 2009
I have been wearing the watch for a couple of weeks now, and find it easy to read and comfortable. I have a small wrist (6 inches) and the 6 1/2 in band is perfect.
Fast delivery made the experience delightful.

timex, September 20, 2007
i have been a fan of timex watches. in my hands, they go through a rough time getting wet, banged, scratched etc and they still work perfectly. other than replacing the battery, they last and last. they continue to come up with fresh and chic models for everyone in the family. i love them and will continue to buy them for myself and family and friends.
