Review: A great watch for a great price - I was looking for a cheap tough waterproof watch to wear surfing so i know I've still loads of time left in the water! Well, this watch is absolutely great, does what it says, no frills but perfect for what I wanted. It's all plastic but the strap is like the stuff rucksack straps are made from with a normal watch buckle to secure it. The face of the watch is easy to read and looks really good and the bonus of having the indiglo night light at this price is great too. I suppose the only thing not so good is the loud tick but that doesn't bother me at all although some might find it too loud. It's just a watch tick though.... I wear this watch when working, at the gym and when surfing so it gets lots of use and spends a lot of time in and under the water and is like new. I'm really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap, light, tough, waterproof watch. Great!
Review: Nice, budget-friendly wristwatch - I was looking for a cheap wristwatch in order to replace a low-quality one purchased through Ebay. My requirements were the following: 1. To be analogue 2. To show the date (day only) 3. To be water-resistant (I am not diving but swimming a lot) This watch fulfilled all requirements and on top of that features the Indiglo functionality with illuminating the plate in order to show the time in the dark. The band is nylon but is not hard to the skin and seems really durable. Timex is a well-known brand of watches, so I was surprised by the watch's low price (something like 25 pounds). The watch is extremely light (you can hardly feel it) and seems to be scratch resistant too, but it is indeed too noisy. I have absolutely no issue with it ticking during the night as I do not wear it while I am sleeping; however, in business trips (where I usually stay in small hotel rooms) I can hear it ticking all night! Surely no problem for me, as I am a heavy sleeper. It may not look fancy to some people, but is an excellent casual watch which I expect to have with me for the next years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you set the date?  I've ordered 2 of these and can't get the date to rotate at all.**
A: Ah the mysterious time set. Pull the stem out to the second to last stop. BUT, it won't do you much good until you figure out what the numbers signify. I tried to set the "date" for the 15th (today) but the number 15 doesn't appear. And i've turned that think backward and forward. I have absolutely no idea why Timex even included the feature.

**Q: Does this watch's band have a quick release pin system?**
A: Yes it does. The holes for the spring pins are "blind," meaning they do not go through the "ears" on the watch case through to the outside. 

For the record, I would not call spring pins "a quick release system." As likely as not when I change a watch band held in place with spring pins I struggle to get the precision screwdriver on the compression part of the spring, and sometimes I manage to launch the pins across the room when the screwdriver slips.

**Q: Does it have a night glow feature ?**
A: Yes, this watch features Indiglo night-light, activated by pressing the crown.

**Q: Is replacing the band something easily done by an ordinary person, or it is better done by someone trained (in a store)?**
A: It is easy to replace the band. Similar to other watches. I do not know were you can purchase velcro replacement bands

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very lightweight, horrible quality strap
*by W***L on 6 January 2026*

It's good, very lightweight compared to the metal expedition. The strap is pretty nasty quality but its fine with an alternative one. I like that the indiglo button is protected from accidental activation unlike the metal one which wasted my battery. Good stuff for fair price
