Make no mistake - this cheap Timex is no high-end watch, by any stretch of the imagination. It bears all the hallmarks of a cheap watch: Chrome-plated brass case instead of solid steel, low water resistance, that characteristically loud Timex tick. But overall it's still a solid watch for the price. It tells the time with quartz accuracy, lights up like a torch at night, and looks decent doing it. The dial design is a standard field watch in a classic smaller size and a less standard olive green color. For the record, the watch size is more like 36mm than the 40mm listed in the item description. The brass case has a nice brushed-looking finish and a good heft for its size. I swapped out the flimsy leather band for an olive-and-red striped NATO, which improves the simple, rugged look of the watch. Though only rated to 5 ATM, I have worn the watch swimming without problems.

This watch is a good option if you're looking for something simple, modest, and understated that will tell you the time without breaking the bank.
