 The BEST watch...hands down.Oct 02, 2010
By C.E.
I have had the absolute pleasure of having this watch for almost 4 years now. I am a nurse, and as such a good watch is a vital tool. This watch has survived hundreds of thousands of handwashings, being dropped in blood, amniotic fluid, IV fluid, saved my wrist from being crushed between a wall and a hospital bed, and even dropped down a 30 foot parking garage stairwell once- no lie. It has survived being dropped, kicked, hit, thrown, and all manner of abuse my patients, family, and countless others have heaped upon it. It had come back unscathed from X-ray machines, radiant infant warmers (which get really HOT), soda, alfredo sauce, linguine, soup, cavi-wipes (bacteriocidal and viruscidal premoistened wipes), and every other harsh treatment heaped upon its poor existence.
The glass face is still scratch free, clean and as clear as the day I bought it, yet the metal casing has developed a well needed "rugged" look with just enough pits, dings, and gouges to make it look like it has "character." This watch is phenomenal...I haven't had to replace a battery yet- it doesn't lose time like some other brands that I have tried. I even shed a tear when it go boxed up in the move and I thought I had lost it. Thankfully, I found it- you wouln't want to see a grown man cry now would you?
I have a few nicer watches (read: dressy) but I always come back to this little gem. Well worth 3 times the price, but a perfect value at the 45-or-so-bucks it costs here. I grabbed mine from Target years ago and have truly found one of the best watches...ever. I've never owned a Rolex or a Tag Hauer...but after using and abusing this one and seeing how well it holds up- I have no desire to ever have a "designer" watch. Unlike some people, when this watch battery dies...Im not gettin a new watch, I am just gonna get a new battery and keep on keepin' on with the bad boy.
The indoglo is perfect for dark patient rooms, the glow-in-the-dark hands charge fast and glow long enough to get what you need done. The date feature is nice, but unnecessary. All in all, this watch is the perfect no-frills piece of equipment. It won't make coffee, find the north star, unlock a CIA safe, give directions, or tell you how far you walked...but it will tell time perfectly, stand up to abuse, and become your favorite watch in no time. And that is the God's honest-straight-up-no-fibbin'-truth. Get it.

A Cut AboveApr 18, 2008
By J. Arnold
I have a slighly different version of this watch. Mine features a nice brushed stainless steel case with a polished bezel. It also has a rugged brown leather strap and features an ivory dial with black Arabic numerals. Aside from these appearance differences, everything else is the exactly the same. I compared the one shown here, side by side, with the model I eventually bought. Both were excellent, and in the end, my choice was simply one of personal preference.
In addition to the product description given, this model has a bronze finished stainless steel case and bezel. All of the rest is as described.
At the risk of sounding like a snob, I never thought to purchase a Timex, in spite of the brand's long standing reputation for reliability at affordable prices. Most of my watch collection includes higher priced heirloom quality brands and models. I purchased this one using a Gift Certificate given to me by my employer. In just a few days I have discovered that I am glad I did. So far it has not left my wrist.
This is a solid time piece. It appears outwardly to be well made and durable. I'm not sure how good the movement might be. Product specs reveal that the watch is made in the Phillipines and the strap is made in China.
Having said that, this is a good price for a shock-resistant and 100 Meter, (330 Ft), water resistant field watch. Timex, a world community manufacturer, has a great reputation for dependability and this is a good example of why. This is not a dive watch, but it is not intended to be one. It does one thing very well. It displays the time accurately and boldly, extremely readable in all light conditions, (The push-button "Indiglo" feature is awesome), and promises to be durable, rugged and well capable of providing years of faithful service in just about any kind of day to day use.
The case diameter is 40 to 42 MM depending upon where you measure it. The protective lugs at the knurled crown are a nice feature, usually found on more expensive brands and models. There is a rubber shock absorber between the stationary bezel and the case. Timex boasts a 10 year battery life, depending upon backlight usage. To my knowledge, no one else comes close to that with an analog quartz movement. If the watch lasts that long, it will have been worth the purchase price many times over. With a mineral crystal and well made leather band it really is a total package. This watch is manly in appearance, very comfortable on the wrist, and at a glance, it looks to be more expensive than it is. I have large wrists, but both models fit me comfortably with length to spare.
I am very happy with mine. If this is your style, you can't go wrong at this price.

Simple, good lookingFeb 02, 2008
By Christopher Moellering
I received this watch as a gift. It has a solid metal case and a nice leather strap. The strap has a raised ridge that seems to help keep the leather from getting quite so kinked where the buckle hits it. The strap also has 2 small loops to keep track of the loose end of the strap.
The face is large and easy to read. The Indiglo, activated by pushing the crown, is clear and bright. It glows through the black face somehow, very readable. The glow in the dark hands are also sufficent for some low-light situations.
This has become my daily wear watch. The bezel is slightly raised above the crystal which keeps it remarkably cleaner and protects it from scratches.

tough watchSep 28, 2010
By R. Sparks
As an avid outdoorsman, I can be tough on watches...This one met every expectation as Timex outdoor watches always have for me. I've been swimming in both fresh and saltwater. hiking, camping, hunting, fishing,...etc.etc....for many years. Recommend to anyone who spends their life in rugged terrain, and needs the reliability...They live up to their old moniker; "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"

Solid Looking Sweet PieceAug 23, 2008
By Mark
"Mark"
This watch Is everything the previous reviewer states and more. I am completely happy with It. To the reviewer that bought 1 and It stopped working. That's only happened to me once ever and Timex replaced It. I mailed It to them In there postage free box and it's all free.
The slightly raised bevel DOES keep It cleaner and from getting scratched.
I know mine cost $49 so this Is a really good price. Never thought of Amazon for a watch but I'll check Amazon price against anyone from now on.
And It does look sharp and more expensive.
