Bought this watch for daughter for Christmas. Got it for her to use when running to be able to track herself when not on a timed run.

The watch is good looking (she loves purple) and functional. The buttons are a little small for my large fingers, but she seems to have no problems. The band is rubber/plastic and should hold up well and she said is comfortable.

I was looking for an inexpensive watch for her with a stop watch function and was water/sweat proof. This seems to fit the bill. Timex makes more expensive watches if you need more functions. But would recommend this for a basic sport watch or for beginners.

I ordered this Timex in purple for my 10 year old daughter. She adores the vivid color of the wrist strap. The digital time on the watch is easy to see and there are several different options for stop watch functions and such. There is an indiglo feature on it, where with a push of a button a bright green/blue back-light comes on, letting you see the time in the dark. The light has a self-timer and goes off on its own after a few seconds.

The wrist strap easily fits an array of wrist sizes. I tried it on and it fits my adult (women's sized) wrist, but also fits my daughters 10 year old pre-teen sized write.

Setting the time is best done by an adult, as there are several buttons and it could be a bit tricky for kids.

My daughter is quite hard on things, constantly playing outside with friends and coming home a mess every day. This watch has held up through her daily abuses and is still ticking. Definitely a great watch for a young lady.

This is an attractive watch with nice features. The display is large and clear. However, it is extremely hard to set. I had to go on several websites to find suggestions on how to use the features, as the little instruction sheet provided with the watch had incorrect information on it. In reality, there are many versions of the 1440 sports watch and none of them operate in the same way! Very frustrating, to say the least.

I love this watch because its wonderful for work. It goes well with my scrubs and is easy to look quickly to get the time for charting or working with my patients. It is a bit "high tech" for me apparently. I can never figure it out, I am always setting an alarm for midnight and have to have my boyfriend undo whatever I have just done!

It's great -- durable, cheap, and great color. I wore it in Nepal for two months, and the altitude didn't affect it at all.

I like to use a watch that I can wear to work, then to the gym, shower in after exercise and not worry about it. This watch fits the bill. It looks good, does what a watch should do and then some, and costs so little that if the battery dies or it the band disintegrates, it is expendable. I've had other Timex watches that have the same specs but costs more - $40. I've had 4 of those (the intrinsic band broke without a way to replace it on 2 and on the other 2 they took on water and then committed hari kari) and on none did the battery die before the watch did. So this is a more economical alternative at less than half the price of those.

This is my 10 year old daughters review: I was really excited about getting this watch. It was really easy to figure out and the buttons work awesomely. I also discovered this watch is water proof. This watch is really easy to get on and off and its really comfortable. All pros, no cons. Now I look down at my wrist all the time to check the time even when my watch is off. I would definitely recommend this watch for anyone looking for a cool watch.

Watch keeps good time, digital numbers easy to read, and I love the purple color. Am considering ordering the same watch in turquoise. Recently wore it while swimming...no problem.

My 9 year old daughter wanted a digital watch for Christmas. Purple is her favorite color, so this watch was an instant hit. It works great for her but its not babyish so it would work perfectly well for anyone, I would definitely recommend.

We returned a different watch which was on my 8 year old daughter's wish list and gifted to her at Christmas 2011. The other watch was bulky and generally unusable as a "real" watch. It looked like a toy with elastic and everything, but it was really the only digital kids Timex watch without silly graphics.

After we decided to return that gift, we looked a little more carefully and decided to risk choosing a women's watch. Purple color was a given once this model was found. The strap is a little too long for her very thin wrists, but she says it is much more comfortable compared to the returned gift. It looks OK to me and she is growing like a weed so I expect it to fit much better soon.

Setting the watch without use of the manual was easy. The buttons are a little stiff though so I did have to do it for her. She can push them for use of the mode or indiglo buttons, but repeatedly pushing for her is harder. Purple jelly in color, not really translucent, though light passing through is of no use to a watch band around a wrist.

Overall, this was a winner!
