Best Bang for the Buck
(2-3 years ownership/2 color versions of this watch) You can spend much more money for much less timekeeping accuracy than this watch provides. Timekeeping: I lose about 15-20 sec to the NIST time clock each six month time change interval when I reset the time. Not bad at all. Setting: You can stop the second hand sweep at 12 high by simply pulling the crown to the set position which greatly aids locking in on the universal time clock to the second. It restarts when the crown is snapped back down. Looks and Durability: The polished case and flat crystal look almost new after two years of frequent wear. Size and Legibility: About perfect for a field watch - bigger than a dress face and smaller than a divers chrono. Fairly low profile and snug to the wrist. Can read with or without my glasses. I don't often use the backlight, but it lights very well. Price: Really reasonable with one caveat - you'll probably tire of the flimsy but stylish nylon web band after a short time and spend about $25 more for a nice leather band. The total investment is still a good value over many other watches. Overall, this watch goes anywhere with anything and keeps very accurate time. You'll probably ignore your other watches because you'll use it everyday, not just on weekends. It's A TIMEX!

Nice looking, Practical, Indiglo is awesome, Chronograph is adjustable, band likely won't hold up
I purchased the Chronograph Timex watch.I bought this, because my fancy watch had a unique band, and after years the pins would come out and have to be pushed back in constantly else would rip clothing, scratch, etc. Then the clip wore, and when I went to buy another band found out the band is custom for that watch and no longer available. Perfectly good watch killed by a now irreplaceable band.So I had to buy another watch. When I buy a watch, I like real numbers on the face (1,2,3...etc not dots/dashes nor Roman numerals). I like a light up face. I also like a watch with a Chronograph so when I cook burgers I can see my 6 min are up and time to flip and don't have to have my phone. I'm also middle-aged and married, and like a watch that looks nice, but don't need it to impress as the famous quote from the movie "Accountant 2"... "Our Dad was too cheap, look at this Rolex, know what he'd say about it?" Ben Affleck responds "He'd say it tells the same time as his watch".I'm very pleased with this watch, though I wish it came with instructions just a sticker on the back saying what each button does. In particular, my chronograph when reset one of the dials would reset to 3 (and I may have accidentally caused that when setting the time the first use). No instructions on how to adjust that... went online and saw a video and now all my chronograph hands reset to 0. Something to be aware you can adjust the chronograph. .The band appears to be generic and easily replaceable but also probably the weak point. The band may be "leather", but it's really thin and likely bonded leather (where they glue leather fibers together and is not strong and I could be wrong). The numbers are large and easy to read, I love the Indiglo feature, I can see the whole watch at night now.In short, it's nice looking, practical, with very useful features.Surprises include: It lets you set the hour quickly so you don't have to keep spinning the minute hand around, and around, and around. This is also how you set the date so it doesn't take too long.The Indiglo really is nice, and lights up the whole face.The chronograph hands are adjustable if they don't reset to 0, though you'll need to find the video on how to do it as this watch comes with no instructions.I think the band is bonded leather unfortunately. I'm thinking within a year I'm going to be buying a new band which is basically an added cosdt.

Beautiful watch, affordable, just a little loud.
I was hanging around a new friend of mine and happened to see a weekender on their wrist. I thought "what a simple yet classy watch." I love the simple design and it has quite the charm. I've owned the watch for about two months now and love it as an everyday watch. The one small con as other reviews have stated is that it is quite loud when it ticks. I notice it at work when I am resting my chin on my arm on break. However I've also noticed it when I am in bed and its sitting on top of my dresser across the room! I just put it into my jewellery box and it's muffled enough where it doesn't bother me after that. Would buy again.
