After 7 months with my 84 year old mother, the tape broke

This is my 84 year old mother's third Timex marathon and her last. Each generation lasted less and less time. The group doesn't tolerate rejection, but the clock keeps ticking. This lasted for 7 months before the band broke up. The previous ones lasted 2 years, then 1 year, now 7 months. The watch parts are excellent. But the group sucks. Of course, the strap is pretty model specific, and a new strap is more than a new watch. If my 84-year-old mother can wear it during quarantine in 7 months, I

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not sure

The indigo backlight was not working - has been replaced with a working one

Bought this watch for my 7 year old as it is not too big for a child's wrist (he can wear it on the smallest buckle). I have an orange-silver color. I immediately noticed that the indigo light doesn't work at all (I checked it in pitch black as well). I emailed Timex and will see what they offer but they said I should probably exchange it through Revain as I just received it that day. There were no instructions on how to set the clock, which was a little surprising. It has to be found online as

My last one lived 5 years before the band broke but still works

This is my second Timex watch. It's so cheap but it lasted five years with extensive and frequent hand washing, very dirty and keeping up with a busy nurse. Performs the main functions well, timer, alarm clock, dual time zone. But all I use it for is time and time to time timer. He served for five years, with frequent scrubbing at the end of his shift. I'm pretty sure that ultimately affected the bracelet, but the watch itself still works. I wish they had an easily replaceable strap, but atโ€ฆ

  • The best

  • I don't remember but there was something

Not a fan, just right for men

I like the look. That's all. They're not as well made as the previous version (I replaced my favorite purple with a similar one that's over 5 years old and eventually leaked). The strap and buckle feel flimsy, cheap metal for the buckle. The biggest complaint I have is that the top left button, which is used to change functions, is constantly being accidentally pressed just from wearing it. I regularly accidentally get war time, I set my alarm a few times (it's fun at 1a ๐Ÿ™„) and solving theseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Update available

Cheap watch idle

I wanted a cheap watch for every day. Living in Hawaii we spend a lot of time in the water so 'waterproof' is a must although they are rare in this price range. I don't like investing a lot in watches every day. Under $10 the price was ok. If I can get away from that for a few months, I'll be happy. Very easy to program and navigate. Less than 2 minutes to set the time and date. **Update: Over the last month I've worn this watch a number of times poolside, kayaking, beach, snorkeling and beenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • don't remember

I bought a similar Timex watch about 8 years ago but it was purple. Never undressed, showered, swam, worked, slept etc. I changed the battery once in 8 years! In the end, a small piece of plastic broke off the pen, which is beyond repair, so I had to buy a new one. I've tried several different watches after my purple one broke but none compare to these Timex watch parts. Light, simple, reliable, always reliable. I've been wearing this model for a few months now and it's exactly the same as myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Doubtful

Short lifespan, small screen

My husband gave me this watch for Christmas. Worked for 5 days, then the screen went off. In their short lives, these little clocks showed the time. I'm not a runner so I didn't test the lap features etc. This watch was chosen for the color and wrist size (wanted orange and fits a small wrist). The screen was very small and without reading glasses it was difficult for my "adult eyes" to read. (I especially like - and prefer - the Ironman series. The displays are a bit larger.) I really don'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great watch for the price :)

I now own this model and its predecessor (Timex Women's T5G881 1440 Digital Watch with White Resin Strap) and I have to say they definitely were. very nice cosmetic improvements. As always, Timex makes its watch very easy to read, set and reset (in the case of an alarm). I don't use a stopwatch, so I can't comment on that. But I'm not at all techy and managed to set the time on my watch (and day and date) while driving during rush hour (not sure to brag about that), but HERE is how easy to doโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Loads of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
