Women's Easy Reader Watch

UPDATE as of August 2025: Mom has been super happy with her watch over the last 9 months! It still looks nice, has withstood hand washing, no staining, hasn't turned color on her wrist and still works perfectly. It also hasn't needed a new battery yet! :) ORIGINAL: I bought this for my mom after she purchased a few really inexpensive watches that didn't perform well or last. I got her the 23mm, stainless steel, solid silver color, stretch band version. Mom is 88 and while, ideally, she would have a dainty, delicate little thing for her little bird bones, I got her the bigger face with easy-to-read numbers. She does find this one easy to read and the indiglo light really helps her out in the dark, which is something none of her previous watches had. I have no data to report on how well it stands up to scratches or how long the battery lasts since I just gave it to her, but it's a Timex and we're going off of the good reputation of the name. The battery came already installed and was easily activated by the removal of a little plastic piece that had held it in an inactive state so it didn't run down. She was easily able to set the time by herself and required no further instructions, as anything mechanical or electronic so often does for her these days. There was a lot of discussion about the wrist band size in the product reviews and I was quite concerned about how it would fit, based on the wildly varying reports of different variations of similar watches, whose reviews were all lumped together. She has a small, delicate, wrist and I wound up taking it to a kiosk at the mall and having 3 links removed, which cost $20. It seemed to be a difficult task, even for a supposedly experienced watch worker with the correct tools, so I'm glad I didn't try it myself. I got a nice sale price on the watch of $29.99 (from the regular listed price of $63, in December, 2024), and think it was well worth both the sale and full price, even adding in the cost of the band adjustment. Mom had wasted much more than that by purchasing several very inexpensive watches, trying to save a few dollars. Batteries ran down quickly, bands broke, she couldn't read the tiny numbers, they turned color and left stains on her wrist, didn't stand up to the water from hand washing, etc. Not as many people wear watches anymore, since most of us have cell phones in our hands most of the time. But if you have an elderly loved one who really misses having an analog watch (even though they have an emergency call device with a digital time readout on the other wrist, lol), just go ahead and pay more than $12 for this watch. The others don't last, aren't reliable, need difficult-to-replace batteries very fast, etc., and the cost of multiple cheap watches mounts quickly to more than you'd pay for a Timex. This one is well worth the money.

I love this watch and have had one for several years, but since this was at a price I could not resist, I bought another one for when my current one stops working. I like watches with actual numbers that I can easily read (not that I'm stupid, I just don't like to have to look at it a few times if it has Roman Numerals or just dashes or dots). Plus it lights up (I wear mine even to bed so if I wake up, I can easily tell what time it is as I don't keep a clock in my bedroom since I retired, it is comfortable enough for that). I like that it has a stretch band so I don't have to fumble with the watchband. I can no longer find this watch where I used to buy it, sometimes it online, but this price was unbeatable so I bought one because eventually the watchband, being stretchy, will wear out and it's sometimes cheaper to just buy a whole new watch rather than a band and have that put on and adjusted and the glass will eventually get some scratches. Even though I usually have to have some links taken out at a jewelry store as I have a small wrist, I love this kind of watch. And if it breaks, it's not like I'm out of a lot of money. I do have to have the battery changed about once a year, but that's no big deal. It's a Timex and it works like a Timex, that's all I want.

I love this watch. It's water resistant and keeps good time. I'm old fashioned and like the plain clock face. It's easy to tell time. Yes, you have to know how to tell time. It won't do it for you. I like how it looks.

This watch seems to be working well in the short time I've had it. It is very basic in appearance but has a two tone expandable band which makes it more attractive. The band fits me loosely despite being the smaller of the two sizes offered. I don't know why Timex chose to include a date window as it is so tiny that it can't be easily read. But the indiglo feature is very useful and the main reason I chose to purchase this particular watch.

Packaging was perfect, not overdone but sufficient to keep the watch safe during transport. The band is a bit loose on my 6" wrist but for me its actually better than too snug. I do love the 2 tone design. Its a good quality watch and the stretch works very well. Its a basic, again sufficiently designed watch worth the money that coordinates well with dual toned jewelry. It will be great for travel, a bit of not over the top bling, lowkey.

Absolutely 💯 best classic watch ever /Easy read with /night light button

Watch matched as described and pictured. How when we opened the envelope it was shipped in the watch box looked terrible. Its was severely crushed and open. Fortunately, the watch was not damaged. Overall great watch at a fair price.

Love my watch. Wanted a practical for everyday use that was easy to read, had an illumination feature and was durable.This watch has fulfilled these needs.

I used to be a regular customer of US Amazon and had 4 watches from Timex, this was a 2nd purchase. Loved everything about it but the out packing was so soft the the box inside was broken (it was a gift so I was embarrassed to pack it in that box). Watch stopped working after 2 months battery change dint help, and then suddenly after few days it started working again. But i love this watch.

De muy buena calidad no se pone opaco aún que se moje, buenos materiales

I love the elastic band. But, the face is too small. I did not realise 25mm is so small. I am long sighted and needs to wear my glasses to read the time. It would have been better if the size is bigger with bigger font so that I do not have to wear glasses to read the time.

It’s timex therefore wonderful and nostalgic. I’m slim wristed and find it snug, but I have sensory issues with all jewelry, clothes etc. it won't slip around on your wrist. I love the classic style, large face, and actual numbers. Practical, nostalgic. Attractive. And large enough to be able to read it.

Comprei de presente para minha namorada, ela amou, muito bom e ajustável
