This is a great simple watch. I had a hybrid, digital/analog style watch prior to this. I've always liked Timex Expedition series, this is no exception. The band feels light, and thin however. I'm worried with wear and tear this could deteriorate or rip, although I have read the resin straps are as durable as a metal strap... We shall see. The strap comes equipped with 2 small strap loops to hold down the extra strap after its secured. This piece broke on my last watch so I'm more confident this won't become an issue with this watch, having a backup.  This is primarily a work watch for me, it's not flashy or hard to read. The date is a little small, and hard to read before midnight as its changing. Small issues for a really sharp watch. Keep in mind this is a stainless metal body and glass face. It's heavy. My last Timex was plastic on plastic, definitely a big weight difference and needed to get used to wearing it, but that doesn't really effect it's performance. Underside of the watch is engraved with the model and facts. Also lists the battery number which is convenient. To sum up, this is another great Timex, I'd reccomend it to all.

Update 8/4/16 -
This is my second Timex of the same model and had the same problem. The dial will fail and fall out. It looks as thought the shaft the controls the dial works inside breaks. This makes it impossible to change the time, date and activate the light. I've had this a little under 2 years, I work in a restaurant so it gets banged around and abused. I actually broken the lens in my last watch right before the dial broke. Even with my abuse, I believe this is a design flaw. I dropped it down a star but I'd order it again because of the apprearance and band.
