User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars it’s…ok
Nothing to get excited over, and overpriced. It’s lightweight, has alarm functions and dual time zone, which is nice. the band is a little long for a woman, and the velcro is only on the tip of the strap (unlike other Timex, like Reefgear, where the whole band is velcro)which means you can’t really adjust the band size much and the watch face will move around if you have small wrists..if Timex still had the Reefgear i would have bought that (despite a bezel that can fall off). In short, this watch is functional but not high quality.
5 Stars Great no frills watch, love it.
This watch is a really nice and is perfect for me. It tells the time (duh!), the date and has a stopwatch feature I never use. Mostly I like that it is a no frills product, but it does its job. This is great for people that actually want something that tells the time and not some fancy gold bracelet to impress the ladies. Although I spend most of my time in front of a computer, I imagine this piece would be great for someone with an active lifestyle (biking, running, etc.). The watch itself is mostly plastic and watch-proof and the band is a fabric velcro. For a while I had the older model with a rubber strap and I like this new model much better. The strap is comfortable and easy to take on and off. I wish the strap was a little bigger though, it might be too small for someone with really fat arms. It does have an indiglo feature although I had the older model and the indiglo died after like 6 months. Hopefully this one will last. What can I say, its a watch. If you are looking for something simple with a classic design, look no further.
4 Stars Excellent watch, wristband leaving room for improvement
In a sentence, this is an excellent watch which clearly would have earned five stars if it wasn’t for the wristband. Let me comment on some selected features. I cannot evaluate durability since I bought it only a short time ago.
Size. If you are male, if you dislike clunky things, and if your wrists are small, then you should seriously consider this watch. For me, all three conditions apply, and I think I made a good deal. I checked again, this watch is indeed advertised as a watch for children and ladies on the Timex website. However, I think the design is definitely unisex, the blue tone being even on the male side.
Wristband. The band is somewhat uncomfortable. It is narrow. It has a plastic buckle which is too dominant. Apparently, ladies and children are made to suffer. The band could be longer. For those having thicker wrists: check twice as the band may not reach around your wrist. This disadvantage turns out to be an advantage when you want to fasten the watch on your belt or backpack.
Price. The price is attractive, even more so as I am a Euro-based person. I bought my last Timex digital watch in 1993 at an absolute price comparable to this one. Considering the fact that the dollar has decreased much in value during the last 17 years, Timex watches have become way cheaper ever since.
User Interface. Clearly, there has been improvement since 1993. Being able to set the watch on the first day without consulting the user manual leaves a good impression - those small icons for plus, minus, etc. appearing next to the buttons are wonderful.
3 Stars Indiglo does not last
I’ve had mine for about half a year, and the indiglo stopped working. It’s still under warentee, but I’d have to pay 7 bucks shipping to get it repaired, and I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle.
Otherwise, the watch is working fine so far. It’s comfortable and good-looking.
5 Stars great watch at great price
My 12 yr. old daughter loves this watch and it was a good price. The band is durable. Using the alarms and features is very simple and easy.
