My wife's old watch broke. She wanted her new watch to be one that she could wear outdoors without worrying whether it would be scratched or ruined by water. She gardens and does other forms of physical labor outside. She also wanted a watch that looked nice and could be cleaned easily.

She's very happy with this Timex I got her for an early Christmas gift. It meets all of our expectations. She says it is very nice to own a watch that you don't have to worry about. With her others she was constantly taking them off and on to keep from damaging them.

How long this will last is another question. If it breaks down within a year I'll edit and downgrade this review. if it lasts far longer than I think it will I'll do another update IF Amazon still has it for sale. Myself I think this watch might just last longer than I think it will.

Best of all was it's price. My wife wanted a cheap watch. The first question she asked me was how much it cost. She was exceptionally happy when I told her the price and happy that I stayed within the budget which I sometimes "Forget" to do when getting gifts for her.
