I've NEVER had a bad experience with a Timex; and this purchase just continued the good relationship.  I ended up in the hospital with a broken hip and did not want to keep an expensive watch with me, so I went to Amazon and got this one.  Even though I had read a couple of bad reviews I took a chance anyway....and was sooooo glad I did.  Anyone who can read can figure out how to set it - quickly. The time is large and very easy to read (I have a few vision problems); the date is extremely helpful in here, where you tend to lose track of time; the night light is wonderful and I don't have to wake up my room-mate by turning on the light in the middle of the night. It is attractive, fits well, the color is classy and I wear it "ALL " the time - even in the shower- with no problems at all.  I would recommend this to everyone and would purchase it again if I had to.
