This watch has the most commonly used features at the lowest price.  I've had a timex like it before and it lasted for years.  The features are easy to understand and set.  If I had it to do again, I would spend the extra $5 and get the plastic strap.  This watch has a velcro strap.  I have a great disdain for any of that metal pinching watchband.  This is a great value watch and I've never seen it for less.  It comes VERY well packed, also.
