Timex Men's Classic Digital 34mm Watch

A Decent Low Cost Digital Watch. I've worn these off and on for probably 40 + years. I think this might be my 4th one, but I have been pretty hard on these watches, and they do "Take a licking and keep on ticking." The band is nice, kind of a Chinese Twist-O-Flex that is pretty comfortable. The dial and watch body are plastic so the dial will scratch easily and the chrome will wear off of the watch body, with neither affecting it's operation. The batteries in the past have lasted up to 3 years. The stop watch function is easy to use, but when it comes to setting the alarm on or off you'll need to download the instructions that no longer ship with the watch. I wear Seiko automatics now so I have regulated the Timex to lawn mowing and a stop watch when grilling.

I scoured Amazon and the internet for simple and easy-to-read watches, looking for certain features and reading reviews, which takes more time than one would like to calculate. If you want watches with bells and whistles there are millions. If you want a watch that someone with low vision and/or memory problems/dementia can read, not so many. It’s sad when you get right down to it, but I expect it’s because those not needing exotic interfaces just use their cell phone to check the time. Dad’s watch broke, so I needed to replace it. He’s 87 with diminishing eyesight, memory problems, ad encroaching dementia. Dad has 4 or 5 clocks in his room, but can’t handle not having a watch on top of all the clocks and an over-sized timer that can break your eardrums. (When we moved him out of his house, he had so many clocks it wasn’t funny, often more than one on a surface.) All I wanted was a clearly readable time, plus the date and day of the week in a hopefully reliable watch. I narrowed my search down to three watches that varied in cost from $13 to $70. We leaned toward digital because I read that as their memory got worse, people often become unable to understand the analog clock face and benefit from just having the actual time in digits. Of these three watches, two are outstanding, and one is good if the person’s vision is still good enough. I expect that all will require us to set the time if it should need changing for any reason. I’m giving Dad all three, although the first two in the list were immediate hits. Here are the watches and why I chose them: Reizen Low-Vision Ana-Digit Atomic Watch - Leather Band Pros – Very easy to read analog face, atomic so it will keep itself set, digital day and date that will adjust itself correctly, battery-operated so doesn’t need winding. Dad thought it was absolutely beautiful. Cons – leather band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on. We replaced the band with a silver and gold stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. The day/date display could be larger. The directions are absolutely horrid. We’ll have to do any adjustments, as it takes us a bit to get some of it figured out. And trying to get the second hand to stop precisely on the 12, as required by some steps. Yeah, good luck with that! Men's Digital Sports Watch LED Screen Large Face Military Watches and Waterproof Casual Luminous Stopwatch Alarm Simple Army Watch - Black Pros – The first thing Dad said about this watch was that he could read it without squinting. And he’s right, just a beautiful clear bright display. Easy enough to set. Cheap; if this watch breaks easily, I could get one a month for Dad without stressing. Surprisingly enough, Dad – who’s rather conservative – may actually like this watch more than the Reizen, even though the Reizen is more attractive. I think it’s that the time is just so incredibly easy to read. Cons – Plastic band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on and that will make some folks’ arms sweat. We replaced the band with a black stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. That changed the looks of the watch immensely. It went from a plain huge hunk of plastic to a cool military type watch. So win/win for another $8 or so. Timex Men's T78587 Classic Digital Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch Pros – exactly the type of interface we wanted. Simple display with date, day, and time. All digital. So far so good. The bright display background makes digits more visible, plus there’s a light. It came with a twist-a-flex/expandable metal band making it easy to put on, unlike the others which came with latched bands. Cons – the display/digits are smaller than optimum. This watch can’t be read easily by a person with low vision. That said, Dad can read it with a bit of squinting. It’s sad, because otherwise this would be the perfect watch for Dad, but the smaller display makes this the lesser of the three watches. So far, Dad likes it the least. We bought twist-a-flex/expandable metal bands at Walmart and also ordered Gilden Gents Expansion 17-22mm Black Stainless Steel Watch Band 552-B-3 on Amazon. A slip-on watch is a must for those with diminished coordination. Overall, we like all three watches and would buy them all again with the caveats above. We’re leaving all three with Dad so he can rotate through them to see which one he likes the best or just to change what he’s wearing, since he’s always loved watches. Should any watch not perform up to expectations, I will amend this review.

This is a well crafted product for this price point. Nothing too fancy, but it works well. And, no big hit to the wallet if you lose it. The instructions aren't shipped with the watch, so you do have to Google around to find those. That said, the instructions are simple once you find them.

Get meant compliments and works well.

This watch is a classic and looks great. Timex is a brand you can trust.

My father-in-law has had this watch for about 10 years. About every two, I have to change the battery (he is 96 years old and changing the battery is really painful surgery). For him, this is a great watch. It comes with a flexible metal band that holds up great and fits his thin wrist. It has a large digital screen with a back light so he can easily see the time. It has plenty of features (which he simply ignores), and I only have to reset it for the semi-yearly time change (it doesn't auto change). Changing the battery is a real challenge. Now that I am 70 with shaking hands and failing eyesight, it is proving to be more than I am willing to expend. The last two times (2 and 4 years ago) it took me about 3 hours each time. One year he snuck off and paid a jeweler...it was over 20 bucks, so I buckled down and did it myself the last two times. This time when the battery died, he passed it to me asking me to change it out. Still had a replacement battery and took off the back and then took off the watch cover retainer. Never could get the screws to go back into their holes...and I knew I still had to short the two terminals once the new battery was installed to get it working again....I simply gave up and ordered a new one (SAME MODEL) from Amazon. It arrived it two days, and my father-in-law was pleasantly surprised at how good the watch looked -- he said it looked new! If only he knew. I dutifully accepted the $3 for the cost of the new battery cost, and handed over the watch. He's happy, and so am I. It is nice that Timex keeps selling this model, without visible changes. Worth every penny.

Its a very classy.watch. My husband loves the watch and so does my granddaughter Fiance. I would recommend buying it again. Thank you

The watch is functional and does what it's supposed to do, but the face of the watch gets easily scratched. I've had it less than a year and there are so many scratches I can barely read the time (and I'm not using it for any construction projects, just casual wear).

Montre super. Robuste. Et franchement sympa au poignet. Petit hic, si je peux dire, il y a un bip ttes les heures et je n'arrive pas à l'enlever. Certains pourront aussi trouver cela gênant mais le jour et mois sont affichés en anglais (mois/date)

Very good watch, love the strap (it needs some positioning or it feels like it's clamping my hand). It has basic functions, which is good enough.
