I bought this model used and at $13 it was a great deal! I love Timex watches for how rugged, functional, and inexpensive they are. This watch is no different. But I am giving this particular watch 3 stars less than I would any other Timex watch for one simple reason: All the stock images and description I can find display this watch to be a dull gun-metal gray color-- which is ideal for someone with an active lifestyle because scratches do not show as easily. However what the watch actually looks like when I received it was a VERY SHINY gun-metal gray color. No matter the lighting or how I angle the watch, I cannot get the watch to look dull like the Timex stock photos-- it is just SO SHINY. At a glance this watch could be mistaken for chrome! It seems deceitful to me. And the hour numbers and hands are surrounded with this same very shiny metal. I just do not understand why Timex would build a highly water resistant watch, then go out of their way to make and label it a "shock resistant" watch (this typically isn't their forte since most of their watches are very shock resistant anyhow, so they are obviously appealing to the outdoorsy-type), THEN go and snazz it up to look like a dress watch! I don't know about anyone else, but I sort of look like an idiot going for a run or a hike with a dress watch on. Timex Expedition series watches are many great things, but a dress watch is not one of them! In the end, there is still a bomb-proof Timex quartz analog mechanism underneath (and one that I snatched up at a bargain) so I intend to keep and wear this watch, BUT I probably will be masking off the crystal and spraying it down with a coat of flat black paint in the near future to "dress it down".
