I have a slighly different version of this watch. Mine features a nice brushed stainless steel case with a polished bezel. It also has a rugged brown leather strap and features an ivory dial with black Arabic numerals. Aside from these appearance differences, everything else is the exactly the same. I compared the one shown here, side by side, with the model I eventually bought. Both were excellent, and in the end, my choice was simply one of personal preference.
In addition to the product description given, this model has a bronze finished stainless steel case and bezel. All of the rest is as described.
At the risk of sounding like a snob, I never thought to purchase a Timex, in spite of the brand's long standing reputation for reliability at affordable prices. Most of my watch collection includes higher priced heirloom quality brands and models. I purchased this one using a Gift Certificate given to me by my employer. In just a few days I have discovered that I am glad I did. So far it has not left my wrist.
This is a solid time piece. It appears outwardly to be well made and durable. I'm not sure how good the movement might be. Product specs reveal that the watch is made in the Phillipines and the strap is made in China.
Having said that, this is a good price for a shock-resistant and 100 Meter, (330 Ft), water resistant field watch. Timex, a world community manufacturer, has a great reputation for dependability and this is a good example of why. This is not a dive watch, but it is not intended to be one. It does one thing very well. It displays the time accurately and boldly, extremely readable in all light conditions, (The push-button "Indiglo" feature is awesome), and promises to be durable, rugged and well capable of providing years of faithful service in just about any kind of day to day use.
The case diameter is 40 to 42 MM depending upon where you measure it. The protective lugs at the knurled crown are a nice feature, usually found on more expensive brands and models. There is a rubber shock absorber between the stationary bezel and the case. Timex boasts a 10 year battery life, depending upon backlight usage. To my knowledge, no one else comes close to that with an analog quartz movement. If the watch lasts that long, it will have been worth the purchase price many times over. With a mineral crystal and well made leather band it really is a total package. This watch is manly in appearance, very comfortable on the wrist, and at a glance, it looks to be more expensive than it is. I have large wrists, but both models fit me comfortably with length to spare.
I am very happy with mine. If this is your style, you can't go wrong at this price.

I received this watch as a gift. It has a solid metal case and a nice leather strap. The strap has a raised ridge that seems to help keep the leather from getting quite so kinked where the buckle hits it. The strap also has 2 small loops to keep track of the loose end of the strap.
The face is large and easy to read. The Indiglo, activated by pushing the crown, is clear and bright. It glows through the black face somehow, very readable. The glow in the dark hands are also sufficent for some low-light situations.
This has become my daily wear watch. The bezel is slightly raised above the crystal which keeps it remarkably cleaner and protects it from scratches.

This watch Is everything the previous reviewer states and more. I am completely happy with It. To the reviewer that bought 1 and It stopped working. That's only happened to me once ever and Timex replaced It. I mailed It to them In there postage free box and it's all free.
The slightly raised bevel DOES keep It cleaner and from getting scratched.
I know mine cost $49 so this Is a really good price. Never thought of Amazon for a watch but I'll check Amazon price against anyone from now on.
And It does look sharp and more expensive.

I was looking for a casual watch and this one jumped out at me. The pictures do not do it justice. It's stylish but not flashy. This is a very simple watch and does an excellent job keeping time. The raised case reduces the chances of scratching the bezel, which is a common problem with most watches. If you're looking for bells and whistles, this is not the watch for you. If you're looking for quality and value, then I highly recommend this watch.

I got this for my boyfriend as a gift as he needed a sports watch and wanted the indiglo feature. He really liked the design, styling and durability of the watch. Great watch, great value.
