Takes a licking and keeps on ticking! Seriously.
I needed a watch with a good reputation but still affordable. This Timex fit the bill. It is technically a "man's watch", but I liked it better than any of the so-called women's watches. The size is great (35mm) and it is even better with the second hand, day and date.
It's a little difficult setting the day of the week however. The crown pulls out in two other positions and if turned counterclockwise, it's supposed to change the day of the week, but I have had trouble with that being consistent. Other than that, the original watchband is leather, but very stiff. It really bothered my wrist, so I purchased a softer elastic-type band (18mm) and now it's great. It also has a nice big, clear face.
I'm very pleased with this purchase. 5 stars!
Setting day of week
My old Timex indiglo watches used to allow setting everything using the crown ("winding" knob): Time, date and day. It was a bit of a pain to find the correct "click" position of the knob to change the day of the week but it was doable. Sadly Timex decided to remove this feature and now makes us wind through the hours of the day, over and over, to change the day, day by day. I guess they figured abandoning imperfect features rather than fixing them makes for a less costly and more salable watch. I think I would be willing to pay a few dollars more for an easier way to set the watch. So, I am looking for other watch brands for this.
Handsome watch
Times has always produced a great product. This is the only brand my husband wears, 24 hrs a day. He likes the larger numbers and the light makes it much easier to see at night. The band hasn’t lasted as long as they used to, though. We, had to replace it already.
What a watch should be
I’m so sick of this trend towards huge watches that can do a little of just about anything. It takes a rocket scientist to figure them out. All I want is a simple watch, that’s easy to read, tells the date & day. If you’re like me, then this is your watch. Simplicity at it’s best. Very easy to read, great nightlight and accurate. The expansion band fits nicely, not too tight, not too loose. Highly recommend and would buy again.
