There's a Brit saying: "Pay a cheap price, buy twice". Basically false economy rears it's ugly head - for example: you buy a cheap watch to try and save money only to find the watch broke after a short while and you having to buy ANOTHER watch to replace it.

This isn't the case with this watch. I opted for a sports watch because I was fed up to the bleedin' eyeballs with having chain link watches breaking all the time on me (and not all of them were that cheap either.) I also wanted a watch to go jogging with as well, so I opted for this beauty because of its price and its countdown timer.

I was not disappointed, it is a lot smaller than I thought it will be, which is a bonus as it is disheartneing to go jogging with what feels like a leadbrick swinging from your arm, but it still feels solid and compact all the time - what I am trying to say is that this Timex doesn't 'feel' cheap.

I wasn't expecting much with the watch but I am very please with it. I initially bought it as a cheap knockaround watch but I wear it all the time now!

The options are also fairly easy to use, stopwatch, countdown (upto an hour I think), alarm, etc. The illumination is also very good when in dark places.

I have had the watch one month so I cannot guarantee it will last a long time but so far I have no problems with it at all. Well worth the price though, and wouldn't swap this watch for most of the more expensive watches I have had.

There are cheaper watches out there, but for the extra pennies (or cents) it is worth getting this. 5 stars

I want a watch to tell time when I go to the gym or play sports. For the price at Amazon, it really can't be beat even if it dies in a year or two. It has all the standard chrono, alarm, and timer functions. I would prefer the timer to retain the value I set after it counts down instead of having to set it every time.

The one major reason that I took a star off is that the watch does NOT have a green face like the picture. Some watches, like an Armitron a friend has, glow green depending on the angle. I thought I was getting similar technology here but the dial face is just black numbers on greyish silver white background. When illuminated, it turns blue; it never has the green face. I would have returned it had it cost more, but it is not worth it here.

I am surprised no one has yet mentioned this. Maybe I got a lemon? 3 stars

I am student in a wilderness school. This watch does every thing I need it to do. It cost under $20 so it is a great value for what I paid for it. I use it when I am swimming, running, or out on a field exercise without a problem. It will not sing and dance for you, but if you want an affordable and reliable watch with good durability, this watch is the way to go. 5 stars

This watch was very inexpensive and will outlast the Nike my son had before! No problem... 5 stars

Good watch (come on. . . it's a Timex), fast delivery, but isn't the best sport watch, personally i prefer the Ironman model. If you like its style. . buy it 4 stars
