I've a similar Timex watch that I was pleased with, it ran for close to 20 years in all sorts of outdoor use.  Eventually the waterproof seal gave way and moisture got inside, plus this was back when this style of Timex had a plastic crystal which I had polished scratches out of too many times to count.  This Timex model T2M441 is the closet model of Timex I found to what I had, while I'd have gladly bought the exact same model as my old Timex again if they still made it.

While I find the dial easy enough to read (I didn't want something SO easy to read that it appeared as though I was going blind), that and the indigo backlight which my old watch pre-dated, are some of the few positives.  Don't get me wrong, it compares well to generic watches but I expected a bit more from Timex, something more like my old Timex.

The band is terrible, way too stiff with a layer of padding in it that actually makes it harder not softer.  The band resists bending so it was pinching the sides of my wrist trying to wear it.  I've never had this type of situation with any other leather watch band.  I put some neatsfoot oil on it and strapped it in a curved shape, hopefully over time this will mold the strap to a curved shape but if it weren't for the low cost of the watch (and that I had another useable strap) this strap would be a deal breaker for this and the following reason.

They cheaped out and used FIVE separate pieces of leather glued together for the front half of the strap on both the buckle and mating portions.  I thought it was just a stamped in design but no, these are scraps of leather not what you would expect on a watch band.  It was just unthinkable to me that they couldn't splurge on a piece of leather a whopping 3" long but instead had decided to glue little sub-1" scraps together to make a band.

While I like that the lithium battery will probably last close to a decade, otherwise the watch is unnecessarily thick.  Yes they listed the dimensions but even so, I feel they should have made more of an effort to make it thinner.  It could be that I notice the thickness more because the stiff band makes the watch sit off my wrist with a gap under it.

The stainless backing on the watch is poorly finished, it has a coarse brushed feel to it.  You can use wet-dry sandpaper and metal polish to smooth it out a bit, which I did, but I shouldn't have had to.

Overall besides the band issues, the watch looks nice enough and the price was good so I give it three stars out of 5.  It would've received only 2 stars rating but I give it one more for having the indiglo backlight.
