TimexMen's Easy Reader Watch

This watch checks all the boxes for an everyday wear watch. it is classically simple yet somewhat elegant. The quartz movement keeps perfect time while being extremely light weight. The dial is the optimal diameter and it's very easy to read the time.I like the expandable band which provides delicate tension that won't cut off your circulation to your hand. It's easy to slip on in an instant and doesn't pull hair or pinch the skin.The Indiglo backlit dial is perfect for reading the watch in the dark.

First off, I'm an old guy but pretty conversant with technology. I've had several smart watches and plain old digital watches, but every one of them had some sort of quirk or flaw with the programming, mainly because they were poorly made Chinese watches. I got tired of digital and realized that all I need to know is what time it is. I found this watch and liked the look and its old school programming, ie, turn the crown to set the time. Now that I have the watch I like it even better - its simple face is elegant and not cluttered, easy to read and just looks good. If you want to know what time it is with a dependable watch from a name brand manufacturer, and look good at a good price, I'd recommend this one. Also, my wrists are fairly thick and expansion bands seem to be made for stick figures, so this adjustable leather band suits me just fine. Good price, good value, good look.

The adjustment of time works perfectly and the hands move with ease. The touch of the crown will make the watch emit a blueish glow coming from the depths of the black dial. I don't know exactly how to put it into words... but everything about it feels like quality. I've owned many other watches in my years, but non were as comfortable as wearing this one while still looking incredibly stylish. It can be dressed down for day to day wear, it can go through gym workouts, it can be worn to work, or it can be dressed up for fancy events. It can do it all.The ONLY reason you should NOT get this watch, is if you want to start a collection, because this watch will make you feel like you don't need any others. I'm not trying to be dramatic. I just really love wearing this watch. I have found the one.

I bought this watch as a “knock around” - I’ve had it in the sand and surf with no issues. It’s been bumped and dropped with no ill affects and still looks very nice. People have complemented this watch more than my much more expensive Tissot, Citizen, and Shinola.When I tell them it’s a Timex, they initially think I’m kidding.Very clean, easy to read face, and the indiglo feature is awesome.I’ve also really become a fan of the expansion band.Perfect size and comfortable to wear.In terms of value, this purchase can’t be beat.

Timex is renowned for their durability and rugged performance and this watch doesn't fail those assumptions! It has a classic minimalist look that makes it extremely easy to read the time at just a glance to the wrist. There's no day/date that needs to be reset almost every month, not a bunch of extra dials to distract you (especially if you might need glasses just to read them anyways). Extra features most people now days have a better and easier option in their pocket to perform those tasks with their smart phone. The Arabic numbers are clean, classic and very easy to read. (I know I repeated that, but it's true!) I had Timex watches over 20 years ago, and I've missed the easy "Indiglo" night illumination, and the white face easily displays the time in total darkness when the knob on the side of the watch is pushed.All the praise being said, the one drawback I have with Timex is all their watches come with watch bands to fit normal size wrists. That makes sense, but they don't offer an option to order a watch with a larger band for customers who have larger size hands and wrists. My wrist measures 9" around and a normal watch band will only fit up to about an 8" wrist. Fortunately I found a very nice stainless steel watch band on Amazon from a manufacturer named BINLUN. I managed to install the new band on the watch and it fits perfectly. The only quibble might be the look of the watch and band is not quite as sleek and finished as the watch band that comes with it. The BINLUN band actually gives the watch a "retro" look, which doesn't really bother me one bit. But the reason I only give the watch 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to order a larger watch band from a different manufacturer. Timex doesn't even offer a larger wrist band in the Timex store.I don't have a bunch of different watches for different occasions, this is my primary everyday watch and my "formal dress" watch. So I want to to look nice, and it does!I've included two photos, one from a bit of an angle to show you how the third party band and watch don't look as stylized as the watch and band that comes with the watch appears. People might think this watch looks 30 or 40 years old, and I'm happy to fool them!
