TimexWomen's Easy Reader Watch

Bought this for a friend with poor eyesight. She loves this watch esp that it lights up , when she is in the theater . She dresses up, the watch with her real diamond tennis bracelet . lol she really loves it !

This is a Timex watch that has really great quality in the band. The numbers are larger but not extreme. Was a gift for an older lady and she was thrilled!

I clicked on "buy it again" because I've been buying this watch every couple of years or so for a long time. However, the watch that came this time is a little different--the face and watchband were bigger, as though sized for a man, even though the product details say "women's." I decided to keep it anyway and took it to a watch repair shop to shorten the band. The workers in the shop disagreed on whether it's a man's or a woman's watch, so maybe it's unisex? The shortening cost $20, so add that to the cost of the watch. But it still like it for the Indiglo feature, stylish design, easy to read face.

This is the first review I have written, it's just not my thing. I ordered this watch because the battery on my old Fossil watch was starting to go and it proved difficult to replace the last couple of times, I guess because it's just so old. I didn't feel like dealing with it this time and also wanted something easier to read. I was wary about the elastic band on this watch, afraid it would "bite" as it expanded and retracted but I really liked the size and overall look of it. It looks similar to my Fossil watch with the few differences I was looking for.Well, the minute it arrived and I put it on my wrist I was delighted. As others have said, it is roomy and it slides up and down my wrist as easily as a bangle bracelet would. My wrist measures 6.25 inches just above the bone. If I want it to stay put, I just slide it farther up my forearm. The elastic doesn't really bite but I think if I had links removed to make it smaller, it might. My Fossil watch also fit a bit loosely - I prefer a watch not to be confining. The Fossil had a clasp and it would sometimes come undone on its own and the watch would fall off. The elastic on the new Timex has the advantage of fitting comfortably loose but never falling off. It's not nearly so big as to sail over my hand. I think this watch would be comfortable on a great range of wrist sizes.As for being able to read it, it's a pleasure. The big white face is clear as day and the light works easily by pressing the button in. So far it's keeping time well, it's only been a few days. Overall, the watch is not so big that it has a mannish or boyfriend look. It's just right. It's feminine enough to definitively look like a ladies watch but it's sturdy/big enough to be versatile, comfortable and *cool* looking. At least to me.I love this thing and it's the best thing I've bought in a long time. Saving money by buying something basic to replace something more expensive (I was debating buying a new Fossil) and then falling in love with the cheaper item rather than just being *able to deal with it* is great. When I ordered this thing I thought, "Eh, it'll do I hope." But now I prefer it.Don't keep thinking about it. Just buy the watch. I love the two tone color, by the way. That was what my Fossil watch was too.

I love this watch. It is beautiful, easy to read, and comfortable, with a slim profile. I did have to take it to a jeweler to adjust the band. When it is close to my ear I can hear the ticking of the movement. It has kept time accurately, and is worth the price.

The watch appears to be working fine, into month 2 of wearing every day. The stretchy band needed shortening-- my husband is fairly adept at doing that, has always done this for me in the past but this one not so easy -- had a kajillion tiny (and I mean TINY) little u-shaped connectors that connected the links together that were almost impossible to work with. Much struggling, frustration and cussing was involved so I cannot recommend this watch unless you want to pay a professional to do this struggle for you. I'd give the watch 5 starts if it weren't for that.

I love the colors, the size, the large numbers, nightlight and waterproof. I’ve used timex watches since the 1970s.

The watch band is deplorable!! I don’t think I could possible hate anything more than I HATE THIS WATCHBAND!! Touch it just right. It falls off. Rest your wrist in the shopping cart handle, it falls off. Your coat wrist band touches it, it falls off. This adjustable design IS THE PITS!!
