| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Darn Good Watch
I purchased this watch after returning a Casio Waveceptor. The Waveceptor was very good, but I needed a watch that was easy to read without reaching for my specs.
<br />
<br />I've had the watch for over four months now, and I'm very pleased.
<br />
<br />This watch met all of my criteria. It's easy to read, supports multiple time zones, and has the Indiglo backlight that is bright enough to use as a nightlite when navigating a dark bedroom populated with the odd sleeping cat, dog or lurking dog toy.
<br />
<br />As mentioned by another reviewer, it's not perfect. It would be nice to have the digital and analog components automatically synchronize, and I would favor having a larger screen for the digital numbers, and making it a bit thinner and lighter would also be nice.
<br />
<br />But, for less than $50, a watch that gives you the time, day or night, provides multiple time zones, an alarm, a stop watch and has a clean, business like look, but is comfortable on a hike - hard to beat it for the price.
<br />
<br />I highly recommend this watch. | 4 | 760 days ago | Nice watch but hard to set the alarm
I generally like the Timex Expedition series because they have both an alarm and a light on an analog watch.
<br />
<br />I had an older Timex Expedition that had a rotating ring around the face. This ring was used to set the time and the alarm, and was very simple and quick to use. Just spin the ring to the alarm time, and pull out the crown to set the alarm. There was also a nice feature that would let you set an alarm for up to 1 hour from now, which was nice for setting timers for cooking, etc., without having to set the 12 hour alarm.
<br />
<br />On this new watch, there is both an analog face and a digital display as well. I had hoped that they would be synchronized with each other. However, there is no connection between the two parts. The time must be set twice, once for analog using the crown, and once for digital using the buttons, and they do not necessarily stay in sync. I had hoped that you would use the crown to set both the analog and digital times at the same time. Also, the alarm is only settable on the digital part, using the buttons. The procedure for setting the digital alarm is hard to remember how to do, since I don't do it every day. I also miss the "under 1 hour" alarm feature from my old Timex. | 4 | 760 days ago |
