Bought this watch because I am hard on wrist watches (lots of bangs and scratches etc.). I did not want to spend a lot of money because I can break an expensive watch just as quickly as one that is reasonably priced. This watch fit the bill. I also bought it because I like a cloth or nylon webbing band. Most importantly, I bought this watch because it does not have month, day of the week, etc. (I know what day of the month and week it is for Pete's sake). Also, the numbers are large enough to see without my glasses. Timex watches generally last a while. I wish they made mechanical watches like they used to but machines cannot make those, humans do, so they did away with mechanical watches. Simple, easy to see, has the Indiglo, what is not to like? The olive band is my style, don't like fruity colors or metal bands. It is also comfortable to wear.
