You will be hard pressed to find any item of comparable quality in this price range.

The Chronograph is the most accurate I've ever seen on a quartz analog, with an added touch of precision to be found in the fact that it can record time to 1/20th of a second. The date display is similar to that found on many aviator style watches, with a rolling calendar exposing four dates at once. The case is heavy, sturdy, and, having beaten this watch through mud, sludge, water, metal doors, it has taken only the most superficial, hairline scratches on the outer edge of the bezel. The mineral crystal is spotless and strong. And, at 100m WR, all of your basic exposures to water are covered with no worries.

If you are familiar with a slide rule, this watch will also permit you to calculate every basic math function with a good degree of accuracy. The slide rule is on the dual rotating bezel which itself is very sturdy and will not move easily - so you don't have to worry about it cycling around unintentionally.

The indiglo feature is spectacular. It has two settings: 1) You can activate the light manually by applying pressure to the crown. In this case, once you remove pressure the light will turn off; 2) You can push on the crown for roughly three seconds to activate the light to stay on three second display mode - in this mode, one push leaves the light on for three seconds including an automatic activation once you start the chronograph. You can easily toggle between the modes.

The accuracy of the watch is also exceptional. With some variance the average is a loss of about +/- 2 seconds a month. There have been months when no time was lost at all and it stayed in complete sync with the U.S. atomic clock.

Overall this is an exceptionally functional, rugged, accurate, and stylish timepiece. It is also stylistically versatile. If you will use it outdoors you will enjoy the durable cordura strap. If you are willing to put in the effort, you can secure a leather or steel band and use the watch for more formal settings. It is a shame to see people overlook remarkable pieces like this simply because of the name. I have had watches over three times the price of this one with a fraction of the functionality and dependability. If you were ever reticent about securing a Timex, this watch will turn it all around for you. Excellent deal.
