After losing her previous Timex watch, I decided to buy my mom a new one. I was looking for something bigger than the typical women’s watch because she was complaining that the one she had before was difficult to read due to its small size. Similarly, she didn’t like the ones that have leather straps since every time she cooks, she gets her hands wet and we all know that water and leather are not compatible.
Knowing all that, I knew that I had to get her a nylon strap because actually my own Timex watch has that kind of band, and she liked it. Besides that, the nylon strap is lighter than a metal one and more resistant than the one made out of rubber. Above all, the main feature that I was looking for, it was a backlight. Timex is well known for the Indiglo light (see the pictures) , and in my opinion this brand is one of the best choices out there. I was initially planning on buying a digital watch, but she liked analog watches more. Fortunately, I bought this watch when it was on sale for $22, and it was a good deal for all the features that can came with it. When it arrived, she began using it right away. At first she said it was a little bulky, but now she can read it without any problems.
The watch is 38mm width by 9 mm thick, and the strap length is 26cm (10 3/6"). The band has a width of 20 mm if anyone is wondering that and wants to change the strap. On the other hand, you can hear the well known sound of the "tic-tic" if you put your ear close to the watch, although it isn't that loud.
It also comes with the instructions. Although it is really easy to use, and the watch doesn’t have too many features, it is good for somebody who wants to take a look at it.
The only drawback is that this watch doesn’t have the date, which is something that always comes in handy. On the whole, great deal for the features and quality that you can get with it.
