Watch closely at some of the USN SEAL training videos on your smart TV. The movie tactical STARS team on Resident Evil 1, and what are they all wearing? A Timex. Myself personally, I'm a stickler for accuracy, but I don't want to wear a Swiss watch where it will get too beat up. This Timex piece accuracy was observed to be -4 seconds per month when measured against Atomic Clock Time. That pretty darn accurate for a digital watch! It's rugged, will take a beating, and accurate. What's not to like! Features wise, it has a chronometer, and counts down for those critical missions where rendezvous points matter. Has an insane amount of alarms for multiple times during the day(maybe a work shift reminder), vibrate or beep. Yes, the watch vibrates. The watch has a sort of memory that brings the most used features closer to the menu as you scroll to use them, unlike other watches that force you to go through the whole menu to get to what you want. This watch is great for anything that has to do with keeping time or counting time. And the Timex quality goes much further on accuracy and water "proof" than those trendy watches from Japan. And I did end up buying another Timex Q, being impressed with this watch.

I am only about a week into using this watch but so far I do love it. I looked at all the very helpful reviews and the biggest negative was the dark display. The display is not lit up unless you light it up with the illumination button, the remainder of the time it appears to be a reflective background behind the numbers that provide the "illumination". If you have daylight or room light you have bright numbers. That said, I have found the numbers readable under indoor artificial light any "daytime" conditions, even under stormy skies, at night the Indaglow system works very well.This is a large watch, I am a big person and it works well for me but I would caution anyone of smaller stature to consider the sizing chart in the product description. I like the features of the watch they all seem to be usable and time related. Time zones, stopwatch, elapsed time, multiple alarms, and even an event alert are user friendly.Durability, so far, is good but the watch face is large and I expect it to get dinged as time goes on. So far it has taken a couple of bangs on door frames and been bitten by a playful dog with no problem. I purchased this watch for its at a glance time, day, and date large display and stop watch feature. It has exceeded my expectations so far.

Alarms: This watch is good if you want one with up to 3 silent alarms. That's what makes this watch different from many other watches. The alarm can vibrate and flash only, or have sound. Some watch alarms vibrate but also chime, which may not be good if you don't want to wake up your partner or want a silent alarm for any other reason.Size: It's huge (too big really), so I should have measured how wide it would be on my wrist before ordering. It's about the diameter of a baseball stadium. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but it's extremely big (wide). The strap width is fine.Strap: The strap stays tightly closed. I doubt the strap will accidentally come out of the small sleeve that it goes into after the buckle. This sleeve is called a free loop or free ring in watch jargon. To remove the watch from my wrist, I lift the sleeve over the nub that sticks up from the band. I can't just pull on the strap.Display: It's dim unless I press the button to light up the display, so it's a little hard to read. I have to tilt my arm to the right position. Maybe this helps the battery last longer, but it doesn't seem worth the tradeoff.Waterproof: I've had it for a couple of days and swam with it (sometimes several feet underwater). It is indeed waterproof.Manual: The user's manual has little information. It refers you to the online manual for more information.

Very well built, buttons easy to use, display is extremely easy to read. In the accompanying picture you can see the size compared to my Timex Ironman 10 - much bigger display, and the positive display is strongly recommended over the negative display, but be forewarned the case is about the diameter or slightly bigger than an Oreo Mega Stuff. Only hitch is that the Indiglo works differently from on an Ironman - it lights up the actual character elements rather than backlighting the entire display. As a result, it's not really that beneficial other than when it's actually dark where you're trying to look at it, and in fact in normal to bright light conditions it somewhat washes out the characters (making them light blue on a gray background). All in all, solid watch and a great value.

I use a watch continually in daily activities and the timex watch is always a reliable time keeping consumer product.

Other reviewers had similar comments. The watch is just so dim! I have to look at the watch for several seconds to tell the time when indoors but I have to use the indigo light 99% of the time just to tell what time it is when I am in a normal to low-lit place. Outdoors is better. However, what good is a watch if you can't read the time when inside??? (The one I ordered was - Color: Black/Negative - Numerals are yellowish green). I had opted to return this one and purchase a different model - (the Color: Black/Positive). Hoping there is enough contrast to read the time without using a backlight. I believe Timex had an opportunity to make a great watch for the $. However, TIMEX couldn't seem to get the contrast correct with the lighter numbers and dark background. A few good things are: The watch has some heft (weight) to it and programming seems rather intuitive. Hope my review helps save you some time. (Pic to the left - is inside the house at my desk with a lamp and the pic to the right is the time just after pushing the indigo light). To me - this is a "No-Brainer." Returning tomorrow.
