4.0 out of 5 stars Great watch, small band!!
This is a great watch, it really is, I really like it, BUT, I found that the watch band that comes with it is quite small, and, no, I'm not a big, fat person, I'm normal-sized, and this watchband is very definitely on the small (very small) side! Otherwise, a very nice watch, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars I've had this watch for years, and it's a good one
I've owned this watch for a good 15 years. Not one watch, mind you; I've bought the exact same watch about 5 times over that period. It is a good watch, nice looking, loud enough alarm, and it lasts a long time on the included lithium battery.

The watch is definitely waterproof, but although the body of the watch looks like it's made out of metal, it is...

3.0 out of 5 stars I've had this watch for years, and it's a good one, March 25, 2008

I've owned this watch for a good 15 years. Not one watch, mind you; I've bought the exact same watch about 5 times over that period. It is a good watch, nice looking, loud enough alarm, and it lasts a long time on the included lithium battery.

The watch is definitely waterproof, but although the body of the watch looks like it's made out of metal, it is actually plastic, and the bottom of it will eventually pit out from sweat or water. So, take it off in the shower or pool.

My big gripe about the watch is the band. I prefer metal stretchy bands to metal snap-on bands or leather bands. This is a spiedel-type band, which will stretch over your hand and snap back in place. Frankly, the reason I've had to get so many of these watches over the years is that I will inevitably get the band caught on something while I'm taking off something or putting it on, and it will snap.

It is cheaper to buy an entirely new watch than to replace the band (around $25 versus $14), so that's what I do. I then use the old watches as supplementary alarms for years. And they do last for years.

A good, solid, digital watch that will give you years of trouble free use as long as you treat it right.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, flavorful, and pretty affordable, September 3, 2008
I was without a watch for awhile, but am thrilled I've found this. I've owned it for several months, and like the gold color coupled with the LED -- it feels kind of 80s retro, like something out of the Miami Vice era.

Haven't had any problems with it thus far; it does what it says, tells time, and looks great doing so.

On the downside, it's not immediately intuitive to figure out which button does what, but through repeated usage, you'll learn.

One notable feature omission: a countdown timer!

Aside from that, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flawless product & transaction, December 28, 2007
By OdiesMommie "Duck" (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This is the 3rd Timex I've bought my husband this year...not because they don't perform as expected but because they are great watches. If anything, they outperform other everyday watches. Hubby has two work watches and this dressier watch. For the price, endurance, and looks, you can't go wrong. Great looking watch and at a great price. Where else can you get a watch like this for $23.50 and get the performance you get from Timex?

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
good watch, really like it. only issue id have is the buttons seem a bit difficult to press in. im a young man so its nothin hard for me but its not somethin id buy for my grandad.

also the illumination light goes off soon as you let go of the button. i would of perferred a time delay of a few seconds as i dont like having to hold it down. other than that im satisfied

5.0 out of 5 stars A little rediculous. A lot awesome!, November 16, 2008
Great watch for the money. It definitely makes a statement and has bit of a retro feel to it. Gets lots of comments. The mode is easy to change. The alarm is easy to set(not that loud though). The light is bright enough to read the time at night. The elastic metal band is comfy and cool! Great watch for the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good compromise between looks, function and price, April 15, 2008
This watch looks a lot nicer than a black rubber-clad one. It's a lot cheaper than real gold, and has an alarm clock, timer and on-the-hour beep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch for the price., July 29, 2007
By Serge Hantel "Movie Buff" (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
On its own website Timex sells this watch for $35.00. This seller provides it for $23.50-that, in itself, is a bargin.

I've owned Timex watches for everyday wear for many years. They don't disappoint. I've always found them to be durable and accurate. The battery life of this model is advertised at three years.I previously owned an identical silver-toned model whoose battery lasted six years.

Being digital, once properly set up, the watch maintains its accuracy through chalendar changes and standard/daylight saving time ajustments. Nothing to fuss about.

A reliable watch at a low price, this is it.
