I bought two of these in 2008 to replace one that quit working after a few years.  On all three of them the band (made of thick rubber) began cracking and eventually broke.  It is VERY hard to replace the band due to the way it is attached to the watch body.  Even the watch store I brought it to gave up trying.  I wish they made the band out of some other material that is more durable or easier to replace.

  Also, on both of the two newer ones, after replacing the battery, the audible beeper quit working and the watches now fog up inside when they are submerged or even just get wet.  But these problems might have been caused by the store that replaced the batteries.

  That being said, I still love the watch for its many features.  I used to use the countdown feature and all five alarms quite often (before the beeper quit working).

  If Timex ever uses a different, more durable material for the band, I will buy another of these.  Otherwise, if I find another watch with comparable features, I will consider it as well.

I solved the beeper and fogging problems myself.  When the repair store reinstalled the back, they were careless in the placement of the o-ring gasket.  Once I put it in its proper place, everything is OK.  I also put a different band on, one that's not designed for this watch.  I don't care what it looks like, I'm only using it for work (construction) anyway.  Much easier and much more satisfied now.
