Review: My favorite watch EVER! - My mother bought me this exact watch when I was 18 and I love it so much that I won’t wear any other watch!! It’s just a basic but nice looking and study watch. It isn’t ridiculously expensive and it does what it promises by telling you the time. I love the “indiglow” also! All watches should have that I don’t really get my not -all- watches have it… people need to also know what time it be in the dark also !!
Review: My New Forever Watch - I'm far-sighted and I need to remove my glasses to see up close. With a typical digital watch checking the time was a two handed maneuver. This watch is EZ to read on the fly, with a big face and bold numbers. And lemme tell you about the backlight! Bright as heck, you could use it to flag down a jumbo jet (almost). I appreciate that it's thin, and most of the face is used for the watch, not for some slidey compass gizmo that makes you look like Chuck Yeager or Indiana Jones. Loud ticking? BFD. It's a watch. If it keeps you up at night you have bigger problems than a loud watch. On the nightstand it's gonna be loud, so put it on top of something soft, you'll be surprised at the difference. Thank me later. The thing about analog: I'm not a runner or an aviator, so I don't need precision chronometrics. If I really need an alarm, I use my phone. I bet my phone has a stopwatch if I really need one. When I check the time, I don't need to know that it's 7:56:48, I just need to know that it's almost eight. Loosey goosey. Analog vs. digital: My kids have trouble reading an analog clock, and they're almost teenagers. If I walk into the TV room and say, "It's time for bed, it's ten o'clock," they'll say, no, it's nine-fifty-eight!" The main thing is, Analog shows the time in a relative way, Digital in an absolute way. The idea of "a quarter past one" doesn't exist in digital time; it's 1:15. The hour is shown in an elapsing, progressing, way, quarters, thirds, halves, VISUALLY, like a sundial. You don't need to know if it's precisely noon, just that it's lunchtime. Digital reduces time to a technical statistic, like cholesterol. Your brain has to interpret it into Time-time: "It's 11:26, um, let's see, thirty four minutes to lunch," too much mental energy. A glance at an analog watch and you know it's time to start those gastric juices a bubbling. A digital watch is useful only on New Year's Eve and at the birth of a baby. I wear a watch 24/7, sleeping, making whoopie, showering, changing the oil in my car. I like to be able to check the time in the middle of the night. "Thank God, it's only 3:30. Back to sleep." My main worry is about getting a tan line in the summer. But my life is relatively worry-free. I hope yours will be, and this watch will help. Update: This watch works with the Men's Rubbertech (TM) Silicone Rubber Watchband Stainless Steel Deployment Buckle Black 18mm available on desertcart. Outstanding product. Update June 2019-- After wearing this watch nearly 24/7 for 8and a half years, including bedtime, shower time, executive time, construction work, swimming, everything except when I got an MRI, it finally showed some age. First the light dimmed out, then it started slowing down. I reckoned that a replacement battery would nearly match a new watch, if I were to go to a jeweler. BUT NO, and new battery was 4.65, and i prized off the back with a Swiss Army knife can opener blade and replaced it. Good to go. Now all I need is to polish the bezel, due to the construction work effects.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of battery does this watch use?**
A: I bought the Energizer 2016 brand, you'll need to look for CR2016 on the battery in the package. Mine came in a 2 pack for about $8.00 at Walmart.

**Q: Is it small enough for women?**
A: I bought this watch for my husband as he wanted a watch that was easy to read without all the gimcracks found on a lot of other watches.  It is a standard man sized watch of about 1 inch across so if you are looking for a little delicate looking watch, this is not it.  So it depends on what you think of as a 'womans' watch. If you are referring to the size of the band then you can always have more holes punched to make it fit a woman's wrist. If is a good looking watch.  Very traditional.

**Q: Is this watch loud like the Timex weekender?**
A: It isn't quite as loud as the Weekender, but the ticking sound is definitely noticeable. It doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would annoy others.

**Q: Why is this half again as expensive as the same thing sold by the manufacturer? I'd like to buy it, but not with that kind of mark-up.**
A: Don't know? I like mine a lot!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing quality watch for the price
*by A***R on May 18, 2026*

Nothing but good things can be said about this watch. The crystal is durable, scratch resistant and clear. The watch face is excellent. The watch band strap is great quality. The gold tone finish of the watch is quality. Of course the timekeeping is spot on, it's a Timex. I don't know anything about the water resistant abilities because I would never submerge a watch so I can't speak on that.
