I purposely bought this watch because of past experince with other Timex watches.  I want a watch that gives me essential information that is accurate.  I set my watch by a satelite clock and forget it.  Past experience has shown me that these simple Timex watches will be accurate down to the second even after one year of use.  With modern battery technology they seem to go for year after year.  I beat up these watches working outdoors way before they ever quit.  I have one Timex watch that I bought over 10 years ago while on active duty military.  It is beat to death on the outside. It has gone through several bands and yet it keep on working without flaw.  I am so please to find another Timex quality watch for such an inexpensive price.
