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.

Updated 10/9/25: This is my 4th Timex just like this one. I love the clear, easy-to-read numbers, and the indiglo light, and the expansion band. The water-resistance seems to be very good, too, as I have often forgotten I was wearing it and jumped in the pool with it on. (I have only replaced these watches because I've lost them or broken them.) Will continue to buy them as long as they make them! My most recent purchase, on 10/7/25, which I bought because it was discounted for Amazon Prime Days, was clearly a used watch, not new. The Timex cardboard box it arrived in was bent, torn, and pretty beaten up. (The Timex box was in a bigger Amazon box, with my other Prime Days finds.) The watch, when new, had been zip-tied to the plastic mold inside the box, but the zip ties had been cut through, with one of them completely missing, and the watch was loose inside the box. I had originally decided to return it, but, since it IS my all-time favorite Timex, and it was on sale for Prime Days, and the watch itself seemed unharmed, I changed my mind, since I thought perhaps so many had been sold for the Prime Days sale, that there might not be any new ones available. Hopefully it will be o.k. (I'm crossing my fingers!!) But, maybe the shipper/packager ought to double-check when the item's box was kinda smashed up? Just a suggestion.

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.

Nice-looking and the face light is good. However, I find that the band is too tight--my wrist is 6 1/2" around-- and the band seems sharp--not so it cuts, but the edges of the band gouge my arm and it's uncomfortable. I'm disappointed because I was hoping to wear it all during the day. Now, I've hung it up in the bathroom and will just take it with me when I go somewhere and need to keep track of the time (my car's clock has become unreliable!).

I used to be a regular customer of US Amazon and had 4 watches from Timex, this was a 2nd purchase. Loved everything about it but the out packing was so soft the the box inside was broken (it was a gift so I was embarrassed to pack it in that box). Watch stopped working after 2 months battery change dint help, and then suddenly after few days it started working again. But i love this watch.

De muy buena calidad no se pone opaco aún que se moje, buenos materiales

I love the elastic band. But, the face is too small. I did not realise 25mm is so small. I am long sighted and needs to wear my glasses to read the time. It would have been better if the size is bigger with bigger font so that I do not have to wear glasses to read the time.

I was looking for a watch that I could wear for smart casual events out - dinner with friends/hubby, movie and concert nights... that sort of thing. Something that goes with almost everything, is sturdy, attractive, easy to read (even in the dark), has a long lasting battery & band, some water resistance, and no loud ticking! After ordering (& returning) several watches, I found this beauty! She ticks all the boxes and was very well priced used. Looks lovely and I'm very happy with my purchase! Fits well as is on smaller sized wrists (little bit of wiggle room but not flopping around).

Great watch the wife loves it, band is a little small, might stretch, otherwise all good. 100%. Got this watch cheapier than retail as it was in a damaged box. Watch was perfect no damage, unused.
