I love my Timex watches, I have 4 of them.  I ordered this one a couple of weeks ago (5-1-2010), and I must say that I am not blown away.  I have worn it for 3 days as opposed to all 14, only due to the fact that the band is so unforgiving.  I compare it to bending a butter knife around your wrist and attaching a watch face to it.  The band is tough!  Some complain on other watches that the band seems cheap...  This band is not only NOT CHEAP, but too rigid for me.  I am sure that it will last forever, but I don't like the toughness of it.  I know that I only notice this because of the pin/hole conundrum.  The holes are set approximately 1/4 of an inch apart, but for me only (underline me only) one hole is too loose, causing the watch face to spin around to the palm side of my wrist.  The next hole is too tight, cutting off circulation to my hand, and causing pretty noticeable irritation where it digs into my flesh due to the firmness of the material.

The watch face is okay.  In this case, I would say that the picture does it justice while another one of my Timex watches looks only so-so on the photo's but is actually SO MUCH more beautiful.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Timex-Men-s-T42761-Expedition-Adventure-Tech-Digital-Compass-Watch/dp/B000SZKGX8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Timex Men's T42761 Expedition Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch</a>
This watch fits perfectly, looks better, is more light weight and the strap is much more forgiving.  I am in love, love, love with this watch.  My T42351 however, is due for a trip back to Amazon.  It just doesnt fit my taste in the looks, functionality or comfort departments.

Please keep in mind that this is simply my review of my personal preferences and taste.  Others, I am sure love this watch, and I really believe that it would grow on me too if I seared a new hole in the band at the halfway point of my two infuriating holes.  But if I did that and messed up, or still didn't like it, I am stuck with an un-returnable product that I don't like.
