For a man who is 80 and has had a timex for 25 years, and the buttons to set date and time were getting to be a bear to work, this watch was as close to his old one that I could find.  For 45 minutes he told me to send it back.  The display wasn't as easy to read as his old one, you can't change the battery yourself, and he couldn't get the hang of setting the date and time.  I patiently walked him through it  (it's not as easy as the old one was, buy easy enough).  Then I turned him on to the indigo light which brought on a grin.  He could now see the time very clearly.  It's not easy today trying to find a watch that is as durable  and easy to set as the Timex of old but I think we came close.  Big mistake watch makers make today is making them too complicated, too big, and too ugly.  We are very pleased with this one and if Timex has not scrimped on it's durability, Grandpa should have this watch for years to come.
