I've been wearing Timex chronographs for decades. I'm tough on watches, and bought this model after my older one started to look really beat up.  I soon learned that unlike every other Timex I've owned, this one has a strap that is non-reversible.  I am left-handed, so I wear my watch on my right hand.  If you don't reverse the band, it doesn't fit correctly.  All you lefties out there know what I mean. This is a good watch, but if you are a lefty, it's NOT for you.
