1 Stars A shameful embarrassment
I bought this watch from Amazon in late September as a gift for my friend. My friend wore it for a week, and it simply stopped. It is such an embarrassment to me and my friend, thus I immediately purchased the other two Timex Women’s watches(one is an easy reader, another one is a classic) from Amazon for my friend and told my friend the chances of getting a faulty brand new watch is remarkably slim, it must be an unluckily mistake, here are two brand new watches, if one stops, you’ve got another one for back-up. I promised my friend this kind of thing would not happen again on the other two newly purchased watches simply because from the statistically point of view, the chances of getting two faulty brand new watches are unthinkable and chances of getting three are only can see in sci-fi. Shamefully enough, my friend told me that she wore one of them for a week, and then the watch stopped. She took it to the shop to have a look, the guy told her it was not a battery problem, he did not have a clue what’s going on. Then she started to wear another one for a day only, and the watch stopped again!!!!
How unbelievable it is! Even I could not believe it! The chances of getting three faulty brand new Timex watches in three weeks are even slimmer than winning three times top price Lotto in three weeks!!! I simply stunned. I guess I shall never not see my friend again or I shall go try my luck on Saturday Lotto.
To my frustration, I tried to call international customer service on Amazon, it could not get connected. I tried to call Timex international customer service, it could not get connected too. I finally got connected on a Timex Australia dealer in Sydney on phone, and the lady told me she did not know if Amazon is an authorised online dealer for Timex, she had to report to her manager and would get back to me later. She also told me if the watches did not come with warranties, they could not be returned and refund. I checked my Amazon packages, I did not see any warranty cards.
I have emailed Amazon customer service about my problem. Hopefully they will get back to me and resolve the problem smoothely.
I suggestion to whom wanting to purchase Timex watches on Amazon is that check the return and refund policies before purchase. Bear in mind highly likely the watches would fail straight away, so it is not recommended as gifts, or it might even ruin your friendships.
5 Stars Great watch.
I bought this watch for my wife at Christmas and she loved it. Very basic and classy. Setting herself apart from some of the other reviewers, she wasn’t offended by the color of the band. It doesn’t clash with anything - it’s a subtle, fine color. This is a great choice if you’re looking for a simple and attractive watch that won’t break your budget.
5 Stars Timex Women’s Classic Leather Watch #T21693
I am glad I bought this watch. It keeps perfect time and the indiglo function is great at night. I had searched for a basic watch for a long time. The face is easy to read although the date function is a little too small. I would have preferred one without the date function. All in all I think this is a great watch.
3 Stars overpriced
I’ve been looking for a watch for a long time so have a bit of an idea of what’s out there. Most of the timex watches sold on Amazon sell for a lot less at Target or Walmart. The one shown here is only $24 in these stores and I once I saw it even in a dept. store. After reading the review of the woman who had 3 in a row stop working and could not return them, I would ask you to think just how easy it is to return anything at Walmart or Target if you have one in your area. The other thing is that the face of this and the easy reader is a full 1″, which to me seems too large for most women. I have a narrow wrist and I tried one of these on in a store and it looked pretty silly.
5 Stars Love it!
I had this watch for five years before it started to die! I loved it so much that I bought it again. The face is really small. The band is really a dark magenta. It is almost a plum color. I like it but changing the bands is pretty easy as well. Everyone compliments me on this watch!
