The timex indiglo feature puts Timex products in class of their own and this is the main reason I keep buying them. These are the only watches that I know of that you can really see in the dark.  This particular watch unfortunately has a weak indiglo backlight and it flickers when the compass feature is on. I returned the first one thinking the battery was near dead, but the second one did the same thing. I assume it's a design flaw and the underpowered battery doesn't last long.

Other observations are that the watch is big, perhaps too big, and the hands are too slim to be seen easily against the backlight. The extra buttons have to do with the compass and are mainly decoration.

Despite its size, the watch is comfortable. All in all, it's an odd product from Timex, which is known for functionality. It's not really a sport watch or diver's watch. Just a watch with a silly compass that might  be useful if you happen to be lost in the desert.
