I bought this watch at Wal Mart after reading reviews on over 100 watches. I was looking for a watch that was highest quality for lowest money, and after buying several VERY expensive watches, and being either totally dissatisfied with them, or feeling as if I could not justify the $100.00-$500.00 expense, I began looking at the $40.00 to $99.00 range for something that looked ok, but had "nice guts" so to speak. I finally found that in this watch.

The comfort is great, no smelly, sweaty wrists after several hours of wearing it like I had with the rubber band on my old Casio  watch. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Casios, but Timex is just as good IMO.

The look is acceptable, and it blends well with both formal and casual clothing, which is good since I am both a retail worker, and a minister in a local church community. There is one thing that caused me to pause, but later I found to be nothing of importance, that being that the numbers (some of them) looked curved or warped. I later discovered that this is the same on all of this type of watches, and is by design to make the numbers blend with the small rounded face. It is a little off setting at first, but it is not a defect.

I like the leather band, and it is treated with a water resistant substance that prevents water logging for short amounts of time. I do occasionally like to swim with my watch on, but I feel confident that the band will not be significantly damaged if I do.

Another thing I liked was the instruction page. Usually, the instructions for watches are not user friendly, and while these are small, they are arranged in a legible manner, and translated into modern American English instead of reading like someone in China used Google translate to write them. The light is a blue green, and would have been better if red or solid blue, but that is a personal thing and not something that would matter to the vast amount of people. I paid $50.93 minus my 10% Wal Mart discount, and I got a watch that works as well or better than my $400.00 Citizen watch that I had to sell to make rent, and looks better than the $25.00 watches, so all in all it was a good day at the watch stand.

I like the reminder feature, as it allows me to not use my already A.D.D ridden brain any more than I have to. I am not sure why there is a spinning dial thingy on the watch, but it has something to do with the compass. One day, it may click and I will have a nice surprise.. I hope. The double band strap is nice, but I feel one of them may break prematurely, which makes it good that there are two I guess.
