Timex Men's Easy Reader Watch

I dare you to find another watch that has all these features. I tried and this was the only watch to meet my criteria. This is a very classy, lightweight, easy to read, affordable, water-resistant, analog watch, with a night light and a day/date display.Its style is a very understated classic round face with only one side button and no phony tachometer/compass or built-up "rugged" appearance. It has a very demure chrome appearance with a leather strap which works well for everyday use at home, work, or even for a night out.Being lightweight, it does not slide up and down on your wrist like some of the heavier more "manly" looking watches do. Since it's not overly large, it also does not yell out "look at me", rather it simply does it job quietly and out of the way.It is easy to read on many levels. The numbers are large, the font is a san-serif style without any fancy end strokes, plus they are bold and black on a white background.Amazon has some of the best prices out there, but even without Amazon's great deals, this watch will still run you under $50. A great price for a rare find.Some watches at this price range are not water resistant, however, this one can be taken into the shower or while washing dishes without any worries whatsoever.I used to think digital watches were easier to read and made more sense, yet the truth is, analog watches give you a better "sense" of time, as one can see visually what percentage of a particular hour has been "used up." A digital watch simply does not give you that same feeling. Plus, with its constantly moving second hand, it is very easy to orient oneself to the passage of time.Timex's Indiglo back light is quite unique and hard to find in other watches. A simple press of the one and only side button activates this glowing light that lights up the entire watch background for a super-easy to read dial in any grade of low-light or even pitch black. I think this feature alone makes Timex watches a must have.Finally, the best feature, in my mind, is the fact that it tells you what day of the week you're on (i.e., MON, TUE, WED, etc.) as well as the date (i.e., 12, 23, 31, etc.). Yes, maybe I'm a bit forgetful, but there are times, when you just need to verify the day you're on. Especially when there are holidays and you're thinking it's Sunday, when really it's a Wednesday. Sometimes it's a regular day and you just can't remember, it happens.In summary, this watch has a brilliant set of features you are not likely to find anywhere else. I was ready to spend $300 on a watch that fit the bill, and this one did it for under $30. Hands down, the best watch you can get with all these features at this price-point and even higher ones.

This was a gift for my father. He wanted an easy to read analog watch with day and date. Timex hit this one out of the park. It checked all boxes and has a great leather band. My Dad said it was easy to set up and "it is just the right size, not like those huge watches these days." So this was a win!

I like the indiglo although in a well-lit area it isn't that bright, but it's understandable and not a reason to not buy it. Here's some pros and cons:Pros:LightweightClean designComfortable on wristFairly sweat resistantEasy to read dialEasy to change timeCons:Not great indiglo in the lightSpacing holes for strap are a little too far apartI broke my nail trying to change the timeOverall great watch, would recommend! :D
