I initially bought this TIMEX watch simply because because its appearance appeals to me. I was just scrolling through men's watches on Amazon.com, and I saw it. I was prompted to make an order then, because it is a TIMEX watch, which is a brand I trust, and also because the face lights up. And let's not overlook its low price! I really like the watch, now that I've got it. It looks sharp, and it feels weighty and solid. The brown leather strap it came with seems to be very tough. I know it will last a long time, along with the watch. This watch proved to be a bit awkward to set, but not to the point of frustration. Don't lose the instructions! The patented INDIGLO feature works great. The watch face lights up a nice blue. But the digital display isn't exactly big. It's a bit hard to see. The watch features alarm and countdown timer functions, but it does not feature a stopwatch function. I kind of wish it did. Still, overall, and for the price, I highly recommend this watch. TIMEX is a brand millions of everyday people have come to rely on, including me. Okay, so it's not a Rolex Submariner! It suits me quite nicely, nevertheless.
