Easy Reader 35 mm Date Window Watch

I have worn one of these watches every day for years. Clear and legible, superb backlit dial, and it looks smart! This is my second, as I finally wore out my previous one. I cannot recommend it highly enough. As a bus driver, the ease if use and indiglo is indispensable. My favourite part about this watch is that it's wearable all the time. As a dress watch, at work, at the gym. You can even wear it whilst swimming.

Really happy with the look of this watch, especially for the price paid. I accidentally bought the smaller 35mm version but it really sit well on my wrist, simple but classy at the same time. I especially like the indiglo feature, I’m sure it will come in handy in the future. For the price I might buy another one for in the future when this one starts to wear out. Good everyday watch for all occasions. Looks: Classy, well made, like a more expensive watch.

This is a really good day-to-day watch. A simple dial face which is easy to see and use but not chunky, as so many others are. The subtle night light is a really good feature (and a nice colour). Seems to be accurate but only had it a day so not much to go on. The only problem was the packaging which was full-on retail display with lots of anti-theft plastic bands and even a plastic stand. It would be good if manufacturers could provide alternative eco packaging for online sale goods that are not destined for retail display in shops.

I know from experience that these Easy Reader watches have a life expectancy between eight to ten years, but for the price it works out at only £4 to £5 per annum and the face so is clear and easy to read.

I had one of these when I was a kid and the Indiglo watches had just come out. Unfortunately back then I got a faulty one and it was returned, never to have another until now. It's exactly as I remember with the clean look, nice unisex size and wears very comfortably. Personally I love the simple look and lack of frills aside from a polished case. Accuracy is actually very, very good and it keeps time well. Yes, the ticking is probably the loudest you will hear from a watch, but in reality can only be heard in a quiet room. I enjoy the soft ticking personally. At night in a watch box I can't hear it at all. Indiglo function is fantastic. Really really pops without blinding you, giving you a super clear view of the time. It can even be used to find keyholes at night! The strap is the only weakness but is easily changed. The supplied strap works, but this really shines on any variety of nato you can shake it at. With that on, it wears even more comfortably and you simply forget it's there. With the history of Timex, this or the Weekender is essential for any collection!

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? :)

Smart watch, great value Classic design Indigo light bright

Pros: + simple design + easy to read + I think quite stylish! Cons: - extremely noisy! I can hear the ticking sound at all times when wearing it - the strap is very stiff and seems cheap – I assume it'll wear in and soften over time, but it's a bit uncomfortable - even on the smallest holes it's slightly loose for me personally
