Men's Easy Reader Watch

My husband never wore a watch before. He thought they were uncomfortable. But he needed one to work in our temple and make sure he was where he needed to be on time. I have worn Timex's for over 50 years and found them to be reliable, comfortable and sturdy. This one seemed perfect for him and he loved it! It looks great, keeps great time (as do all Timexes) and is easy to read in all lighting situations thanks to the illumination feature.

So far so good. The watch didn't come with directions for setting the day and date, you have to go online, that's a cheap out to me. Setting both was easy to figure out since I've owned other day / date watches, just pull the stem out to the first stop, wind clockwise for one and counter clockwise for the other. So far the watch has kept good time, at this writing I've been wearing it two weeks. I have a small wrist so fit is just very slightly loose, barely moving on my wrist, not an issue with me. Good looking watch, I like the big numbers so it's easy to read, the glowing face works well, making the watch easy to read in the dark. Based on my time with the watch so far I would buy it again.

This watch has a very clear, easy-to-read dial. I like the "indiglo" feature. It is ideal for sleep-in-the-dark wear-a-watch-to-bed guys like me. It also keeps pretty good time. I bought this one to replace one just like it that lasted almost ten years. After shopping quite a bit, I found nothing any better in this price range. Of course, nothing is forever. Eventually, the case will become etched by natural skin chemicals, and the stem may even disintegrate. So, buy another watch. The negatives are these: 1) like all cheap calendar analog watches, you have to manually advance the dates at the end of short months; 2) the band is a magnet for dust and crud, so it needs cleaning once a year with a toothpick or needle. If you're lucky, the battery will last as long as the watch. Otherwise, I suggest going to a real jeweler to replace the CR-2016 cell. The back of the case does not unscrew; it "pops" off. Getting it off is no problem. Getting it back on (without ruining the seal) takes more talent than you typically find in the shops that also sell automobile batteries. All things considered, this is a rather good watch for the money. UPDATE (Eight years and three months later)... So, the "ten year" battery lasted eight and a quarter years. I am not complaining, just reporting. Unfortunately, I failed to follow my own advice. I tried to replace the spent battery myself. Bad move! I should have gone to jeweler. But no, I got out my watchmaker tools and started prying on the back. It would not move. It was affixed much more solidly on this watch than on the watch it replaced. So, I used the stem for leverage. That was a really bad move. The stem snapped right off. No fixing that, I'm afraid. A clean break. As a result, here I am buying my third watch of exactly the same make and model, exactly the same as I reviewed eight years ago (see above). Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe it is now a few dollars cheaper than before. No complaint about that. Anyway, I am not bothering to shop around this time. It's a good watch, well worth the money, and I never believed the battery would last ten years in the first place. So I am buying another one, exactly the same. Watch this space eight years from now; and, assuming my thoracic ticker still functions, I will report again. If one battery lasts eight years, maybe another one will actually go for the full promised ten years. Incidentally, the batteries (CR-2016) are cheap enough. I got five of them for $3.75 on eBay. Coincidentally, the seller advertised a ten year shelf life.

Nice watch at a reasonable price. No bells and whistles. It just tells time. Dial lights up when the multi-function button is pressed. Setting the day numeral display required some fiddling it. In the end I just advanced the time to get to the correct date. I took the extended warranty but it likely will not be an issue.

I have had the watch for about a year now. No scrathes, no lost time, and I can see the watch dial in the dark. A very good wach and it looks nice too.

This is number 3 of this watch I've owned. Not bad for over 20 years. It's doubled in price since I bought my first one. The one I replaced with this one just needs a battery. Where we live, no one puts new batteries in a watch, and that includes Walmart. My wife has it in her purse and will get it done on her next shopping mall trip. The dial is large and can I can light it up in the dark when I need to. The only con I have for the watch is the band is to small.

Bought for a gift. He qanted ine that looked like his Father's. Seems to have liked it. Watch face is big, clear. Band is stretch and fits him perfectly!

Easy to read - very nice watch - love it!

Great watch, love it and have it on me everyday. But the indiglo light is not full. Top half is missing. Returned it and got another watch, same issue.

it's the second of the same model I buy. Still as pretty as ever. First watch & brand to make me love watches

Caixa muito pequena. Muito elegante, a coroa é difícil de operar e ajustar o relógio. Recomendo a Versão com duas pulseiras. Possui iluminação e possui barulho de tique taque alto. Recomendo. Muito bom...

the watch was perfect for me i fave trouble seeing at night so the face lighting up meant i had no problems reading the time.It also arrived the date quoted which was great,would have no problems dealing with amazon again.

Beautiful Times Easy Reader 35 mm, expandable steel strap and indiglo. It has date and day both which makes it good choice.
