 - Great until you need to change the battery...This watch is fine unless/until you need to change the battery! Changing the battery is an easy process - RESETTING the watch is another thing altogether. After searching the web & Timex website (NO help) - we've given up. I guess that's what they want you to do so you'll just buy another watch - seems pretty wasteful to me. If anyone has a suggestion for how to successfully reset the watch, please post the info!! Yes, I see the word "RES" & yes the watch blinks but it does NOT reset. We're NOT replacing this with another Timex! Rating:  - Takes abuse- to a pointThis watch has gone through a lot of hard use and is rather durable. The 'metal' around the watch is just plating and will flake off or break if it is hit with a good amount of force and as mentioned in other reviews the glass scratches as well. The damage to the case didn't stop the watch from working extremely well in wet conditions in the middle of the Pacific but the movable band holder broke down after enough wear. After a few months the band itself broke. For 15 dollars it's still a great watch. Rating:  - Good cheap watchSee the Andy Rooney article on watches? This will wind up in the pile. Looks good. Cheap. Accurate. There will be another cheapy to replace this. But in a while. Rating: - Great Watch, Awesome ValueI've had this watch for almost a year now and really like it. I work with my hands so my watches take a beating. This means that spending a lot of coin for a watch is a waste of money. So I'm always on the lookout for solid, inexpensive ones. This is a good one. Pros: Big numbers that are easy to read (even the date) Intuitive button operation Resin band doesn't absorb water - nice when working in the water Low price Cons: Day feature hard to read (fortunately I usually know what day it is) Plastic crystal scratches pretty easily when abused (biggest neg for me) Not the best looking thing (oh well, either am I) I like this watch well enough that I'm getting a second one while they're still available. Rating: - Great Value for 15 Bucks!I almost didn't get this watch because I thought the size of the numbers displaying the time looked a little small and I wasn't really in love with the design. Then I got it. I'm REALLY happy with how it looks. The picture doesn't do it justice. Do I wish the display was a little bigger? You bet. Do I wish the band was a little softer/more flexible a plastic like my Oakley? Yes. But that watch is easily over two hundred dollars now and this watch is 15 bucks. So, I'm a happy camper. Great value.
