I really enjoy the looks of today's bigger watches. Not the gold bling stuff but more like the Invictas. My first choice was to buy the Invicta 1432 as my Father's Day gift but my second budget choice was this watch. Plus, the savings allowed me to add a Cold Steel Recon I to my Father's day surprises...lol. Over the years, Ive never been disappointed with my Timex watches. In fact, I still have some of the old sport wathces from 15-20 years ago that with a new battery they are good to go (just not very good looking now).

For me, this watch is a good compromise in cost & looks. If the watch doesnt look manly, I'm not giving it a 2nd look. The Timex T2N6949J not only looks good, feels comfortable on the wrist but most importantly keeps good time. Haven't jumped in the pool with it yet but that shouldn't be a problem as we don't have a pool. However, anytime I go into water, Im not gonna wear a watch anyway as I don't dive. Plus, if I get thrown into a pool, i'm not gonna get depressed as this watch is not that expensive.

To date, the only downside, what should be a movable outer band on the watch face is actually fixed. Why do that Timex? As one other reviewer noted "...its redundant" I would have paid a few dollars more to have that timer feature but all in all...the watch looks nice. I personally like the red arrow at the 12 o'clock position. Don't hear the ticking though but I suppose thats what happens when you get older...

As a plus, I bought this directly from Amazon as opposed to one of their Amazon MarketPlace vendors. I've had nothing but positive interaction with Amazon and their Amazon Prime program. Returning deficient items is very easy and quick! I'm 5'11" 185 but my wrists are small. I'm able to notch this band up to the 3rd to the last hole on the band which is very comfortable. Nice watch, great cost, keeps time...sounds like a Timex too me.
