I confess that I am a straight up fan of Timex watches.  I have had several over the years (many).  I had a Triathlon when I used to dive and I had that watch for years.  So far what I like about this watch is the band and the size of the face.  As my reading eyesight is getting worse I wanted a bigger watch face and this one is easy to read and yet not so big you look like your wearing a man's watch.  This is a great watch with some excellent features.  Love it and would definitely recommend.
