Men's Easy Reader Watch

This is just a classic well priced watch. It looks good and it functions just as it should. The leather band is nice and comfortable to wear. The watch is quiet and has Indigo lighting to light the dial. There is nothing negative to say about this watch! It looks classic.

Great watch. Light up feature is bright and easy to read. The leather band is very good quality. Great value for the price.

Excellent high quality easy on off watch!! Looks beautiful!!

I am the type that has not had a watch for years; essentially since I started carrying around a cell phone that could tell me that time without worrying about carrying around another thing. I don't like going to the effort of carrying around something I'm not really going to use. However, I am now in nursing school, and will forever on need a watch with a second hand to take pulse and respiration rates. This made me sad. I tried to find an affordable watch that I could live with from Sears, Walmart, Target, etc, and utterly failed. If I found something that looked nice it wouldn't fit, it would be out of my newly-married college student price range, or be unreliable. After returning two watches that I "settled" with, I decided to try my luck on Amazon. Here are the things I find important in a watch: - Has a second hand. That works. For longer than a week. - Will fit comfortably... Won't be loose, clunky, or excessively heavy. - Will have a classic look that I can wear to work, parties, or whatever. - Will fit in my extremely limited budget. - Extras are nice, especially alarms and date. This watch delivers with flying colors on all the important things for my needs. The price is great. I barely feel it when I'm wearing it, and the leather band fits around my wrist comfortably and prevents it from sliding down my arm when I raise my hand. It's very easy to read, it's extremely light, it's relatively slim, and its design is classy; it doesn't look cheap in any way (not expensive either, but not cheap). It's just trying to be useful and classic, and it succeeds. As far as the last thing, alarms and dates and such, this watch does not have that. It has a day of the month thing on the face, but no month or year, so I'll probably have to adjust it occasionally (which is very easy, just not something I want to have to think about). No extras aside from what you see on the face of the watch, period. The only other complaint I have about the watch is the noise. The ticking noise this makes would lead not only Captain Hook to want to smash it, but many others. Especially when they are trying to study. If you point the face away from your ear, or cover it up, the sound disappears, but if you are propping your head up with that hand it's a lost cause. This isn't a huge thing, but it is worth noting. All in all, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and appreciate the fact that what I saw was what I got.

I'm far-sighted and I need to remove my glasses to see up close. With a typical digital watch checking the time was a two handed maneuver. This watch is EZ to read on the fly, with a big face and bold numbers. And lemme tell you about the backlight! Bright as heck, you could use it to flag down a jumbo jet (almost). I appreciate that it's thin, and most of the face is used for the watch, not for some slidey compass gizmo that makes you look like Chuck Yeager or Indiana Jones. Loud ticking? BFD. It's a watch. If it keeps you up at night you have bigger problems than a loud watch. On the nightstand it's gonna be loud, so put it on top of something soft, you'll be surprised at the difference. Thank me later. The thing about analog: I'm not a runner or an aviator, so I don't need precision chronometrics. If I really need an alarm, I use my phone. I bet my phone has a stopwatch if I really need one. When I check the time, I don't need to know that it's 7:56:48, I just need to know that it's almost eight. Loosey goosey. Analog vs. digital: My kids have trouble reading an analog clock, and they're almost teenagers. If I walk into the TV room and say, "It's time for bed, it's ten o'clock," they'll say, no, it's nine-fifty-eight!" The main thing is, Analog shows the time in a relative way, Digital in an absolute way. The idea of "a quarter past one" doesn't exist in digital time; it's 1:15. The hour is shown in an elapsing, progressing, way, quarters, thirds, halves, VISUALLY, like a sundial. You don't need to know if it's precisely noon, just that it's lunchtime. Digital reduces time to a technical statistic, like cholesterol. Your brain has to interpret it into Time-time: "It's 11:26, um, let's see, thirty four minutes to lunch," too much mental energy. A glance at an analog watch and you know it's time to start those gastric juices a bubbling. A digital watch is useful only on New Year's Eve and at the birth of a baby. I wear a watch 24/7, sleeping, making whoopie, showering, changing the oil in my car. I like to be able to check the time in the middle of the night. "Thank God, it's only 3:30. Back to sleep." My main worry is about getting a tan line in the summer. But my life is relatively worry-free. I hope yours will be, and this watch will help. Update: This watch works with the Men's Rubbertech (TM) Silicone Rubber Watchband Stainless Steel Deployment Buckle Black 18mm available on Amazon. Outstanding product. Update June 2019-- After wearing this watch nearly 24/7 for 8and a half years, including bedtime, shower time, executive time, construction work, swimming, everything except when I got an MRI, it finally showed some age. First the light dimmed out, then it started slowing down. I reckoned that a replacement battery would nearly match a new watch, if I were to go to a jeweler. BUT NO, and new battery was 4.65, and i prized off the back with a Swiss Army knife can opener blade and replaced it. Good to go. Now all I need is to polish the bezel, due to the construction work effects.

Cercavo un orologio a lancette, dal design sottile e compatto perché ho il polso piuttosto piccolo per un uomo. Di "cipolloni" pesanti, spessi e ingombranti è pieno il mercato e non me ne interessavano altri, perciò questo modello della Timex è sicuramente una scelta alternativa poco comune e interessante. Tra l'altro è "Made in Olanda" non in China e la confezione è elegante e molto curata. Il cinturino è di pelle abbastanza sottile da risultare confortevole e leggero anche in piena estate. Certo non di qualità eccellente, del resto cinturini migliori costerebbero molto più dell'intero orologio in questione, perciò decisamente valido rapportato alla classe di prezzo (l'orologio l'ho preso in offerta oltretutto). La sagoma dell'orologio è sottile e leggera ma sobria e a mio avviso elegante se si apprezza il genere "old fashioned". La regolazione delle lancette risulta pulita, continua e scorrevole. Le cifre sono ben leggibili e l'illuminazione Indiglo efficiente e pratica. Se devo trovare proprio un neo a tutti i costi, la lancetta dei secondi color argento su sfondo bianco non è il massimo della leggibilità, soprattutto con poca luce, ma in effetti quando la si consulta? Piuttosto silenzioso, al polso non si sente mentre appoggiato al comodino accanto al letto nel silenzio della notte si potrebbe sentire il ticchettio. Ma nel caso basta metterlo in un cassetto. Certo bisognerà attendere qualche tempo per vedere la durata dell'insieme, ma di sicuro l'impressione è ottima e lo ricomprerei subito. Dopo alcuni mesi d'uso posso confermare che anche la precisione è buona, basta regolarlo di pochi secondi ogni due o tre settimane!

Possiedo questo orologio da qualche mese e finora sono soddisfatto. Non si può pretendere di più in questa fascia di prezzo: il design è pulito, il quadrante è chiaro e facilmente leggibile e non è fastidioso da indossare. Oltre ai numeri delle ore, sul quadrante, c'è la finestra che indica il giorno della settimana (in Inglese, tre lettere) ed il numero del mese. Impostare data, ora e giorno della settimana, sul modello che ho acquistato, richiede grande precisione perché tutte le funzioni si raggiungono attraverso il solo pulsante laterale. Premendolo, invece, si illumina il quadrante di una luce verde-azzurro, particolarmente comoda quando fa buio. Ricordo che è necessario reimpostare la data ogni volta che il mese ha meno di 31 giorni. Inizialmente, all'acquisto, ero stupito dalla rigidità del cinturino e delle altre parti mobili, mentre ad oggi tutto risulta molto morbido ed anzi ho paura a fare movimenti troppo bruschi. Tutte le parti sono ancora perfettamente intatte, solo il cinturino è leggermente deformato dove abitualmente lo allaccio. È dotato di 9 fori sufficientemente ravvicinati, e due passanti di cui uno mobile per adeguarsi alla lunghezza desiderata. Come resistenza, non posso dire di sottoporlo a sollecitazioni particolari, se non che mi capita di sbatterlo spesso ed il vetro non presenta nessuna alterazione. Consiglio l'acquisto a chi ha bisogno di un orologio semplice ed immediato, senza spendere troppo.

This is a really good and plane watch for someone with smaller wrists. I enjoy the day-date feature! I personally feel that the watch looks less expensive than it's priced. It looks to me, if I didn't know what it is, like a drug store watch. However, knowing TimeX, and having another watch by them, I know this will be a great watch that you will have for a very long time! Great simple watch for people who prefer practical and more understated daily watches. The indiglow is crazy strong too, you can use it as a dim light in the dark.

I have worn one of these watches every day for years. Clear and legible, superb backlit dial, and it looks smart! This is my second, as I finally wore out my previous one. I cannot recommend it highly enough. As a bus driver, the ease if use and indiglo is indispensable. My favourite part about this watch is that it's wearable all the time. As a dress watch, at work, at the gym. You can even wear it whilst swimming.

Possiedo molti orologi, perlopiù di famose marche, dalle dimensioni normali o generose. Questo Timex, invece, ha un diametro di soli 35 mm, ma visibilità e leggibilità molto buone. Davvero ottima la lettura notturna, col sistema Indiglo che illumina, in modo omogeneo, tutto il quadrante, semplicemente premendo la corona. Molto leggero, nemmeno ci si accorge di averlo al polso. Inoltre, la precisione è molto buona. Bella e sobria l'estetica; buono e morbido il cinturino in pelle. Decisamente un valido prodotto che consiglio
