I love using this watch and I love that you can turn the digital display on and off. It has all the functions I want and none that I don’t. This is definitely the best blend of tasteful and sporty I could find for the money. It goes with any kind of attire.
Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw. The band is disintegrating and I can no longer wear it. The band is a soft rubber – actually a really nice matte texture. But it started tearing near a bend point at the clasp. Since then, I lost the race between new tears and my tape and glue repairs. It lasted me about 18 months until that started happening. If only the band was made out of a lasting material, I would have kept this for many years. Curse you Timex!!
If anyone figured out a way to hack the band with something that lasts, please post a follow up. I loved it while it lasted…. For the low cost, maybe I’ll replace it every 18 months.
(This is my second watch from Timex and they have each lasted me about this long. Maybe that tells us something. Timex, are you listening? Good.)

I’ve owned it for a few months. The crystal scratches easily. Mine has a dozen or more serious scratches which makes the face hard to read. Not a good buy.

I like the watch. I like the huge digital display. I like having the analog dial (I am old school). I like indiglo. I like the easy dual time zone swap. I like the ease of setting the time.
If only they had a replaceable band…or a better one. (like the new stainless model sold here on amazon)
My first band died at about 10 months…first the little strap that keeps the band in place broke off…yes broke the plastic turned brittle and it shattered.
The band itself broke off at the buckle part within a month. (I even used a rubber band to keep the strap secure till that point). I tried to get a replacement band…no dice.
Luckily it was under warrantee…so I sent it back, and they sent me a refurbished watch that looked new.
Well here I am again…11 months later that retainer strap became brittle and broke off…and the band is showing cracks near the buckle area. So within the month this band will break off also…but it is out of warrantee now…
I did not use this watch in chlorine or salt water. I did not expose the band to any kind of chemicals (fuel, cleaners etc)…unless my skin is dangerous…the band is simply faulty.
I will get the stainless one next…hopefully THAT one doesn’t fall apart.
