I purchased this watch after comparing it and the Easy Reader in person.  I liked the look of this model better.  The dial is off-white rather than the stark white of the Easy Reader.  I do wish the hands were solid black instead of white edged in black but I can see them OK.  The date is tiny; I can't really read it.  It has a nifty feature to advance the date without twirling past midnight innumerable times.

It is keeping good time.  The band fits me well and has a lot of holes so it would fit a wrist an inch bigger or smaller than mine.  (I think I'm average.) The band has a textured insert that is very attractive.  Maybe it's packcloth.  It doesn't stand out a lot, just a nice detail.

AN UPDATE AFTER ALMOST FIVE YEARS:
I still really like this watch and was considering buying it again. I like how it looks and it's been very reliable until recently. My version has the date.

In the past 6 months or so, every once in a while I notice the time is 5 or 10 minutes slow. I reset it, thinking hmmm, must be the battery, but the battery was changed not that long ago. Then it keeps time just fine for another month or so and the same thing happens again. So that's why I'm in the market for a new one, this one is no longer reliable.

I have changed the battery twice in less than 5 years, at approx. the 3 yr. and 4 yr. points. I have another watch that has an alarm that goes off every day. I've had it longer than this one and I've never changed the battery. I have probably used the Indiglo feature less than 20 times--I know the Indiglo can reduce battery life.

I never swim or shower with this watch on. It occasionally gets wet if I'm setting a lawn sprinkler, washing my hands, or washing dishes. The band has cracked on the underside at the hole that I use. But it can still be secured on my wrist just fine and has not ripped all the way through as I thought it would. It's been cracked for at least a year. The good side of the band is now showing some wear.

I am going to try a different Timex. Local jewelers will change watch batteries for five or ten dollars, but I don't want to be doing that all the time, so I hope my new watch will have a longer-lasting battery.
