My dad-in-law has recently had eye surgery and I was looking for a reasonably priced gift watch with a clear dial and accurate timekeeping. This Timex well comes up to expectations, especially for its price. Product arrived well on time and is packaged quite nicely.
The watch itself is very good looking with a large, clear white dial and a smooth leather strap that is easy to put on. My husband tried it on and i must admit, the watch looks smart on young men as well and is by no means a "grandad watch."
Best thing about it is the illuminator - simply press the side knob and the dial glows a lovely blue colour, making it so easy to keep track of time under all circumstances.
This watch would especially be good for men who have problems with bracelet watches (skin hair getting caught in the straps, ouch!) as well as people with limited agility in their fingers (the strap is soft, smooth and easy to put on.)
I would certainly recommend it to anyone for now and i'm sure it will make a lovely gift or a personal use watch. It remains to be seen how well it performs once it's in use, and if i feel differently, I'll update this review.
But for now, almost 5 stars. I would have loved it even more if the box carrying the watch were fancier. But I guess with the price, I shouldn't complain. Are you reading, Timex? :)
