Men's Easy Reader Watch

My husband never wore a watch before. He thought they were uncomfortable. But he needed one to work in our temple and make sure he was where he needed to be on time. I have worn Timex's for over 50 years and found them to be reliable, comfortable and sturdy. This one seemed perfect for him and he loved it! It looks great, keeps great time (as do all Timexes) and is easy to read in all lighting situations thanks to the illumination feature.

I have had the watch for about a year now. No scrathes, no lost time, and I can see the watch dial in the dark. A very good wach and it looks nice too.

A great deal for the price. Easy to read, even in darkness since it lights up (without using too much battery). My first one was stolen after three years of use so I just bought a second one without crying over the loss too much.

Nice watch at a reasonable price. No bells and whistles. It just tells time. Dial lights up when the multi-function button is pressed. Setting the day numeral display required some fiddling it. In the end I just advanced the time to get to the correct date. I took the extended warranty but it likely will not be an issue.

This is number 3 of this watch I've owned. Not bad for over 20 years. It's doubled in price since I bought my first one. The one I replaced with this one just needs a battery. Where we live, no one puts new batteries in a watch, and that includes Walmart. My wife has it in her purse and will get it done on her next shopping mall trip. The dial is large and can I can light it up in the dark when I need to. The only con I have for the watch is the band is to small.

Easy to read - very nice watch - love it!

It all started when I misplaced my trusty 21 jewels Japanese automatic. Don’t ask me how it happened but it did. I’m a dad of two, self-employed, always in some sort of situation or another, and no one has accused me of being organized. It’s probably within twenty feet of me right now, but it could be on the other side of the world for all I know. At any rate, it wasn’t on my wrist anymore and I felt naked. Sure, I’ve got a phone, but I grew up with a watch, spent a lot of time learning to tell time when I was five or six, and I’m damn sure not letting that all go to waste. I had to find a decent substitute watch until mine turned up. Something affordable, something solid, something utilitarian yet pleasing to the eye. Something that could take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’. That’s it! A Timex. My first watch was a seven dollar Timex I bought with my own money when I was six. I can still remember my dad taking me to the local drugstore after school. It was a yellow brass case Easy Reader with a black rubber strap. A man’s watch, huge on my scrawny boy wrist, but I loved it and had it for many years until at some point it disappeared….See a recurring theme here? So I began my search for a watch that wouldn’t break the bank or, well, break. As I browsed, I came to this one – the Timex Easy Reader T20461. I immediately loved the look of it with its white face, Helvetica numbers, red 24-hour feature, silver-brass case, and stainless steel expander bracelet - which reminded me of the twist-o-flex watch bands my dad and grandfather always wore. The watch itself is akin to much more expensive “railroad” watches I had admired, but never considered buying. Without thinking twice I threw it into my cart, checked out and the man in brown brought it to my door within two days. Upon opening the box I wasn't disappointed. It looked better than the photos, felt solid and was easy to set. Yeah, the day and date require a little extra effort, but if this ruins your week you probably shouldn't get out of bed. It was the first time I wore an expander watch band and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn’t pinch my arm hair at all. I’m no gorilla, but I’m not in kindergarten anymore either. One thing did bother me, though. While I appreciated the band, the way it tapers just looked a little lady-like on my wrist. Or maybe it was my wrist making the watchband look lady-like. Who knows? It didn’t bother me too much and I loved the watch, so thought nothing more of it. That is, until I happened upon a watchstrap rack at a large big box store that shall remain unnamed. Hanging there was collection of the old school twist-o-flex expander bracelets I remembered so fondly from my dad and granddad. I found one that matched the shine of the watch case (the original band is a bit dull by comparison), paid a whopping 7 bucks for it (solid stainless steel), took it home, removed a few links to fit my lady-like wrist (it’s not hard – you just need a decent pocket knife and a set of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers), slid it on my wrist and voila! The perfect watch for me. Easy on, easy off; tasteful styling; understated; doesn’t scream “look at me, I spend too much money on stuff because I feel inadequate!” or “Mug me! I’m obviously fiscally irresponsible so relieve me of my money!” I hope I don’t lose it, but if I do…it’s easy to replace. I wear it with pride and can’t recommend it highly enough for men like me that need a practical, no-nonsense, solid, reliable, unpretentious timepiece. So far it’s been dropped several times, drooled on, had coffee spilled on it and I forgot to take it off when I jumped in the shower the other day. Still as good as new. Oh yeah, Indiglo can’t be beat. You might have a Rolex, but your Rolex doesn’t have Idiglo. Sorry to say my other watch still hasn’t turned up. If it does, I’ll be happy to see it, give it a hug, then place it safely in my sock drawer until next time we meet. UPDATE: Still taking a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. Has a few character marks now, but runs as well as the day I bought it. Doesn't seem to gain or lose a second. I rarely take it off so it experiences whatever I do. I have, however, traded in the stretchy band for a leather nato that I snagged off another Timex (see pic).

A reasonably priced watch with a gold like appearance. It's versatile enough that it can worn with casual or formal outfits. The Timex has an easy-to-read face without hearing loud ticking noises.

Great watch, love it and have it on me everyday. But the indiglo light is not full. Top half is missing. Returned it and got another watch, same issue.

it's the second of the same model I buy. Still as pretty as ever. First watch & brand to make me love watches

Only problem , I think is lesser size of belt , it not big but it is smaller

Caixa muito pequena. Muito elegante, a coroa é difícil de operar e ajustar o relógio. Recomendo a Versão com duas pulseiras. Possui iluminação e possui barulho de tique taque alto. Recomendo. Muito bom...

the watch was perfect for me i fave trouble seeing at night so the face lighting up meant i had no problems reading the time.It also arrived the date quoted which was great,would have no problems dealing with amazon again.
