TimexMen's Easy Reader Watch

This is a fantastic watch. It closed in the dark. It keeps good time. It's very comfortable around my wrist. It's just the right size. It's not overly big and not too small. The numbers are easy to read. And I love that everything works.. I've had several friends look at it and couldn't believe what I paid for it.I'm so lucky to have this.This was a very good purchase from Amazon.I have always had skagon watches and I really like this modest watch thank you amazon

I'm far-sighted and I need to remove my glasses to see up close. With a typical digital watch checking the time was a two handed maneuver. This watch is EZ to read on the fly, with a big face and bold numbers. And lemme tell you about the backlight! Bright as heck, you could use it to flag down a jumbo jet (almost). I appreciate that it's thin, and most of the face is used for the watch, not for some slidey compass gizmo that makes you look like Chuck Yeager or Indiana Jones. Loud ticking? BFD. It's a watch. If it keeps you up at night you have bigger problems than a loud watch. On the nightstand it's gonna be loud, so put it on top of something soft, you'll be surprised at the difference. Thank me later.The thing about analog: I'm not a runner or an aviator, so I don't need precision chronometrics. If I really need an alarm, I use my phone. I bet my phone has a stopwatch if I really need one. When I check the time, I don't need to know that it's 7:56:48, I just need to know that it's almost eight. Loosey goosey.Analog vs. digital: My kids have trouble reading an analog clock, and they're almost teenagers. If I walk into the TV room and say, "It's time for bed, it's ten o'clock," they'll say, no, it's nine-fifty-eight!" The main thing is, Analog shows the time in a relative way, Digital in an absolute way. The idea of "a quarter past one" doesn't exist in digital time; it's 1:15. The hour is shown in an elapsing, progressing, way, quarters, thirds, halves, VISUALLY, like a sundial. You don't need to know if it's precisely noon, just that it's lunchtime. Digital reduces time to a technical statistic, like cholesterol. Your brain has to interpret it into Time-time: "It's 11:26, um, let's see, thirty four minutes to lunch," too much mental energy. A glance at an analog watch and you know it's time to start those gastric juices a bubbling. A digital watch is useful only on New Year's Eve and at the birth of a baby.I wear a watch 24/7, sleeping, making whoopie, showering, changing the oil in my car. I like to be able to check the time in the middle of the night. "Thank God, it's only 3:30. Back to sleep." My main worry is about getting a tan line in the summer. But my life is relatively worry-free. I hope yours will be, and this watch will help.Update: This watch works with the Men's Rubbertech (TM) Silicone Rubber Watchband Stainless Steel Deployment Buckle Black 18mm available on Amazon. Outstanding product.Update June 2019--After wearing this watch nearly 24/7 for 8and a half years, including bedtime, shower time, executive time, construction work, swimming, everything except when I got an MRI, it finally showed some age. First the light dimmed out, then it started slowing down. I reckoned that a replacement battery would nearly match a new watch, if I were to go to a jeweler. BUT NO, and new battery was 4.65, and i prized off the back with a Swiss Army knife can opener blade and replaced it. Good to go. Now all I need is to polish the bezel, due to the construction work effects.

Bought this watch for my husband, and he loves the easy to read face as well as the comfort of it on his arm. It’s a simple, basic, very nice looking watch that tells time without anything else to distract. Great watch for the price.

Solid quality and good looking with some flaws. Date is too small to read on an “Easy Reader” model. Also, setting the date is clunky and time consuming, and needs to be done regularly. Velcro strap is cheap and noisy. Switched out immediately.

Timex Men's Easy Reader Watch, black/silver-tone/white/B/35mm, style T2H281. This is a SIMPLE everyday watch which is exactually what I have being looking for. It is very easy to see and read. The case is round and 8mm in depth and 35mm in diameter and is made of stainless steel. It uses a CR2016 cell battery (lithium coin cell battery which is a 3-volt battery). I have no idea how long this battery will last as I do not know when it was put into this watch. The dial is white with black Arabic markers and hands with a silver second hand. It has quartz movement. Water resistant-30 meters. This is not the same as waterproof. The crystal is mineral glass. It has a Indiglo night-light by pressing the crown/winding knob. This watch lights up very well. I prefer the indiglo night-light to a luminous watch which has to be exposed to UV light. It has a date window located at the number 3. You set the date by pulling out the crown/winding knob to the first click (there are two clicks when pulling out the crown), turn the crown/winding knob towards you until you see the date you want to select and then push the crown/winding knob in. The band is made out of leather which is padded which makes it a little stiff. The band is adjustable. I prefer this type band over bands you have to remove links and they sometime pinch my arm. Overall the quality of the watch is good. It is really great for older people and anyone who has difficulty seeing.
