Timex Women’s Indiglo Easy Reader Quartz Analog Leather Strap Watch with Date Feature
$45.00 $29.25
Small Skipper –
Very pleased with this watch but I do have a couple of negative comments. The face is really clear and very easy to read but 1) the date is very difficult to see and 2) the second hand can look just like the hour/minute hand and I have often mis-read the time when glancing quickly at the watch. Would prefer it if the hour & minute hands were white to match the numbers.
On the plus side the watch looks good and the indiglo night light is excellent.

I am a vet student, and wanted a simple, professional looking watch to allow me to easily obtain heart rates, etc. without having to pull out my cell phone. This watch fits the bill perfectly. Small and delicate, yet easy to read. Very lightweight and comfortable to wear… I hardly even notice I’m wearing it. The second hand actually “ticks” with each second, which I like… it doesn’t move continuously like some watches I have seen. This makes it a lot easier to count seconds. The date display is handy, but you do have to remember to reset it every month. Indiglo lights up the entire face of the watch for easy reading in the dark.
The only thing I wish were different about this watch is that there are so many notches between the numbers on the display that they are pretty much useless… I would prefer that there were 5 notches for each section to make it easier to read the minute hand. Personal preference, though.
I disagree with the reviews complaining that this watch has a child-sized wristband. I found it to be pretty average. I am in my mid 20s and have a somewhat slender wrist, but by no means is it pencil thin, and I fit comfortably in the third or fourth setting from the smallest. At the largest setting, I can easily slide the watch over my whole hand. If you are a woman with an average build, this band should fit just fine.

Watch is superb, but the box had suffered some handling damage. We wrapped the watch, in its box (second hand working!) in birthday paper but when our daughter opened her birthday present a fortnight later we saw that the second hand was not moving. We managed to get a battery fitted at Timpsons (£8.20) but the manager said that the watch must have been in store for some time for the battery to be drained so soon after delivery.
Our daughter loves the watch!

I really want to love this watch – the design is classic and simple.
This was a like for like replacement – and just like the original, after a few months THE DATE COUNTER STOPS MOVING. No matter how many times it’s wound to the correct date (and within the manufacturer’s warning, never between 10pm and 2am) it STILL BROKE. Really REALLY disappointing, as I loved this feature.

I’m a busy college student and this is the perfect watch. It’s smaller than I perceived in the picture, however, I’m not disappointed. It matches everything that I wear which makes it the perfect watch for someone not interested in having an extensive selection to decide from in the morning. Also, I can finally tell someone what the date is when they ask with this handy, little watch’s date keeper!

Lovely looking watch very pleased with it. Love the light up dial very clear to read time which I love as don’t always have my glasses on. Only downside is the date so small pointless having it would prefer slightly larger watch face and therefore larger date could be put on.

This watch is…okay, for what you pay for it. I’ve had it for a few months now, and my thoughts are as follows:
PROS:
– Strap is holding up well despite everyday use. No chipping in the material yet.
– Love the small size and versatility with different outfits
CONS:
– This is the loudest watch I own. I’ve never owned something that ticked quite this loudly.
– THE STUPID DATE. This watch will not keep the date properly. A fair warning to you: if you have to adjust the date for whatever reason (particularly when it lists the “31st” in a month that only has 30 days), ONLY adjust the date by spinning the knob at its outermost setting clockwise/counterclockwise and going past midnight in whichever direction you need it to go, instead of using the “quick date” function with the knob’s middle setting. I did the latter, and now this watch won’t change the date on its own anymore via the 24 hour cycle. Manually changing the date every day myself is ridiculous, so I’ve just accepted that the date on this watch will only be accurate once a month.
The bottom line is that I think I’d get another Timex watch in the future, but I wouldn’t get one that reads the date ever again.

Have worn this model and loved it for many years. It’s lightweight, doesn’t get in the way and keeps time perfectly. When the band finally started wearing out at the same time the battery finally gave out I decided to use an Amazon gift card to get a new one for free (if I hadn’t had the gift card I’d definitely have replaced band and battery on the old one because I love this watch so much). I have worn it while gardening, exercising, doing all kinds of DIY projects and it has held up to all kinds of banging around. It has gotten splashed with water numerous times from the garden hose and once accidentally dropped in the goldfish pond for 30 minutes and lived up to the Timex “keeps on ticking” motto.
My new watch looks identical in every respect to my old one, for once it seems a company has kept a good thing going. It’s keeping perfect time so far (6 weeks) and on close inspection I can’t detect any signs of cheapening/substitution in the manufacturing from my old one.
It’s a pretty, classic design, watch face size and shape are perfect for my taste, not too big or too small, and the font used for the numbers is very attractive so I don’t feel like such an “old lady” for wanting an “Easy Reader” watch.
Some commenters write that the band on the current watch is shorter than older versions, attaching photo of my old (10+ years) and new ones, length is exactly the same on mine.
Some commenters write that the watch band is too short, period – laid out flat band + watch + buckle = 8 inches. Fastened using the second hole from the end the circumference of band + watch = 7.5 inches, so if your wrist is on the larger/thicker side I do recommend you measure your wrist and current watch before you order. I have a 6 inch wrist and buckle on the 3rd or 4th hole depending on what I’m doing.
Some commenters write that the band is too stiff – if you’ve had this watch before, the new one feels exactly like the old one did when you started. It is a bit stiff at first (hey, for this price I don’t expect glove leather!) but after a month it’s already getting a lot more flexible day by day just as the old one did, just needs a breaking-in period. Working the band with your fingers a bit every day before putting on and after taking off speeds up the process, massaging in a drop or three of Lexol speeds it up too. Again, I’m fine with that for this price!
All in all I’m super-happy to find that this is the same pretty and practical watch I have loved for years. Thank you Timex!

UPDATE: While initially this seemed like a good purchase, this watch doesn’t keep time at all. I’ve had it for about a month, and I’ve had to reset the time twice, the first time it was TWO DAYS off, and now it’s 3 days off. It’s currently Oct 20th, 3pm, and my watch says it’s Oct 17th, 12:15am. This watch looks cute, but it’s a complete waste of money if you intend to use it to keep track of time…very disappointing for something that was $30….
Original:
This is a very good watch for someone that wants something simple, without a bunch of bells and whistles. The date feature though takes FOREVER to set, as you have to turn it through all 24 hours for every day until you get to the right one. I wish it were easier to initially set up. Other than that, I’ve only been using it for about 2 days, but it seems great! A little dainty so I wouldn’t get it if you had larger wrists. Thanks Timex (:
