The watch itself looks nice and simple, and is subdued enough that it goes well with multiple outfits.  I was looking for something that I could wear while travelling that would put up with sporting activities and also look good enough to wear at (casual) dinners.

However, the actual functionality of this watch is limited if you want it for anything other than telling the time. In own a Timex Ironman and thought this watch would be similarly intuitive to use and it would be easy to set the alarm time, date, hour, timer, etc. It is not. I have never once had to refer to instructions for my other Timex but this watch is nearly impossible to program without instructions, which of course, you do not have with you when travelling.  It took me numerous tries to figure out how to set the alarm time, and when I somehow accidentally switched the watch into 24-hour (European) time format, I had to leave it that way for several days until I played with it enough to figure out how to switch it back.  Once you do figure out how to set the alarm, you discover that it is a very quiet alarm that only goes off once.  There is no back-up (snooze) and only one quiet alarm so if you miss it or nudge it to turn it off, that's all you get.  Most Timex Ironman-style watches have a back-up alarm and/or at least 2 alarms.

If you just want a simple and inexpensive watch to tell the time, this one works well.  If you want a watch that you can actually use for an alarm, travel, a timer, or anything other than telling the time, don't skimp on this one.
