I have always loved Timex - simple designs, sturdy, comfortable construction and perfect time keeping!  Alas, they too have gone by way of the cheaper, less reliable products that inundate our world these days.  Why you, Timex???!!!!  The watch I bought recently looked great to me - just like the picture and I was very excited to put it on.  First thing I noticed is that the band is shorter than I expected and stiffer - not at all comfortable!  Then, after only a few days of wear, I looked down to see the time and found the crystal was blurry.  As I looked closer I realized it was totally scratched up!!!  I am not hard on my watches and Timex has never done that before!  I guess the crystal is plastic now...  I'm so disappointed!  I'm going to try and get my money back and find a watch brand that is a little more sturdy...  Good bye my old friend!
