Women's Easy Reader Watch

Packaging was perfect, not overdone but sufficient to keep the watch safe during transport. The band is a bit loose on my 6" wrist but for me its actually better than too snug. I do love the 2 tone design. Its a good quality watch and the stretch works very well. Its a basic, again sufficiently designed watch worth the money that coordinates well with dual toned jewelry. It will be great for travel, a bit of not over the top bling, lowkey.

UPDATE as of August 2025: Mom has been super happy with her watch over the last 9 months! It still looks nice, has withstood hand washing, no staining, hasn't turned color on her wrist and still works perfectly. It also hasn't needed a new battery yet! :) ORIGINAL: I bought this for my mom after she purchased a few really inexpensive watches that didn't perform well or last. I got her the 23mm, stainless steel, solid silver color, stretch band version. Mom is 88 and while, ideally, she would have a dainty, delicate little thing for her little bird bones, I got her the bigger face with easy-to-read numbers. She does find this one easy to read and the indiglo light really helps her out in the dark, which is something none of her previous watches had. I have no data to report on how well it stands up to scratches or how long the battery lasts since I just gave it to her, but it's a Timex and we're going off of the good reputation of the name. The battery came already installed and was easily activated by the removal of a little plastic piece that had held it in an inactive state so it didn't run down. She was easily able to set the time by herself and required no further instructions, as anything mechanical or electronic so often does for her these days. There was a lot of discussion about the wrist band size in the product reviews and I was quite concerned about how it would fit, based on the wildly varying reports of different variations of similar watches, whose reviews were all lumped together. She has a small, delicate, wrist and I wound up taking it to a kiosk at the mall and having 3 links removed, which cost $20. It seemed to be a difficult task, even for a supposedly experienced watch worker with the correct tools, so I'm glad I didn't try it myself. I got a nice sale price on the watch of $29.99 (from the regular listed price of $63, in December, 2024), and think it was well worth both the sale and full price, even adding in the cost of the band adjustment. Mom had wasted much more than that by purchasing several very inexpensive watches, trying to save a few dollars. Batteries ran down quickly, bands broke, she couldn't read the tiny numbers, they turned color and left stains on her wrist, didn't stand up to the water from hand washing, etc. Not as many people wear watches anymore, since most of us have cell phones in our hands most of the time. But if you have an elderly loved one who really misses having an analog watch (even though they have an emergency call device with a digital time readout on the other wrist, lol), just go ahead and pay more than $12 for this watch. The others don't last, aren't reliable, need difficult-to-replace batteries very fast, etc., and the cost of multiple cheap watches mounts quickly to more than you'd pay for a Timex. This one is well worth the money.

I needed a new watch so searched for those with a 10 year battery. After several comparisons, I ordered this one. I love it. Simple and easy to read. The band flares out a bit where it attaches to the watch, giving it a more elegant feel. Love the stretch stainless steel band, too. Much closer fit to my wrist than those watches with links and clasps. The watch itself is not a huge on my wrist clunky looking timepiece, which I appreciate having a smaller wrist. The Indiglo feature is nice when trying to read the time in a low light setting. It seems to be keeping perfect time, too. All in all, very glad that I bought this one. I'm very happy with it.

The watch is good. I'm told it's easy to read and the indiglo feature is bright enough in the dark. As of today the watch has kept accurate time for a week. I bought this watch for my mother and hope it lasts a long time. After a previous watch I bought which didn't work at all.

I love this watch and have had one for several years, but since this was at a price I could not resist, I bought another one for when my current one stops working. I like watches with actual numbers that I can easily read (not that I'm stupid, I just don't like to have to look at it a few times if it has Roman Numerals or just dashes or dots). Plus it lights up (I wear mine even to bed so if I wake up, I can easily tell what time it is as I don't keep a clock in my bedroom since I retired, it is comfortable enough for that). I like that it has a stretch band so I don't have to fumble with the watchband. I can no longer find this watch where I used to buy it, sometimes it online, but this price was unbeatable so I bought one because eventually the watchband, being stretchy, will wear out and it's sometimes cheaper to just buy a whole new watch rather than a band and have that put on and adjusted and the glass will eventually get some scratches. Even though I usually have to have some links taken out at a jewelry store as I have a small wrist, I love this kind of watch. And if it breaks, it's not like I'm out of a lot of money. I do have to have the battery changed about once a year, but that's no big deal. It's a Timex and it works like a Timex, that's all I want.

Had strap adjusted for fit by a jeweler.

I really like this watch - I like Timex Indiglo a lot. However, despite having a relatively small wrist, the band was tight so I had to return it. I assumed I would have to have links removed as most watches come loose. This was very tight. I gave it 3 stars only because it’s a nice looking watch.

Works well for a long time I have had three of them
