I purchased this watch at an outlet mall for a great price. I looked at a lot of sport watches before finding this one. It is a large, masculine looking watch but it is not over-sized or bulky like many of the watches that are in style now. The info states that the watch measures 42mm but it is closer to 44mm not including the crown, which when added would total 47mm. It has a rugged, durable feel and also looks great as a casual, everyday watch as well. What really sold me was the feel of the watch when I tried it on–it fit so nice and comfortable on my wrist. I have used it at the beach, fishing, in the pool and at water parks and it has held up great. For under $65, it would be hard to find a better watch with the same features and style.

Despite wearing divers watches for 35+ years, nobody makes my ideal divers watch of today!

Which would be an automatic(self-winding) , mechanical day/date display, and with battery for illumination/indiglo.

That way I’d probably get 5-10 years between battery changes and have the advantage of

being able to tell the time in movie theatres, 3AM in bed,etc. That would be perfect but it doesnt exist. Have been using G-shocks for many years and between frequent battery failures(best to buy a new watch), watch band failure(best to buy a new watch), and just sometimes the internal computer going screwy;I even tried the ones with a 10 year battery and they were no better. I figured lately I have been buying a new one or repairing my watch(batteries/bands) about every 12-18+ months and it was just high time for a change.

I miss the rotating bezel type of watches and these cheaper electric rotating bezel dive watches have some disavantages over more expensive ones. However, as a surprise on this one it has a flat crystal that is flush with the bezel, making it less likely to scratch over others that have a raised or domed crystal. The Timex indiglo feature is just adequate on this watch but is somewhat counterbalanced by a great quality application/selection of glow in the dark paint that they use. This will grow brightly in the dark well into the night hours. I find the date display adequate. No day display! A noted negative is that the O zero marker on the rotating bezel is a bit ambiguous and not marked by a big distinguishing arrow like most watches. This band has a little stub on the end of the dangling end that fits into the rubber wraparound. Keeps the dangling end secure.The orange face display is a bit out of the ordinary, but I find it at least fleetingly attractive at the moment.Excellent value for the $$. Best divers band on a watch. Once the band goes on the watch I probably wont like it anymore…I called Timex and ordered 2 original replacement bands.

Decent looking watch if a little large. Worked great until I got in the water, leaked and the light puttered out. Still works but has no light and a condensation issue. Think I’ll have to junk it.
