We'll see how long this lasts (my mom's last Timex similar to this lasted 4 months before the Indiglo locked ON and drained the battery), but if it does, my mom loves this watch.  The dial is even easier to read than the last Easy Reader she had.  The date remains very difficult to set, but once you have it set, it seems to work as it should.  She switched out the band for the expansion band on her old watch, and it looks great.
