 Good cheap watch August 17, 2009

Bought this watch for running. I don't need a fancy GPS or Heart Monitor watch, but something with an alarm and stopwatch. So far this has worked great. Durable (got it wet a few times) and comfortable for running. Exactly what I needed and the price was really good. I recommend it.
Inexpensive, basic and surprisingly good looking April 18, 2010

I purchased this watch to replace an ironman watch with a fastwrap band. The fastwrap band (fabric & velcro) was great but absorbed water (and sweat) and subsequently developed an odor that I could not remove, so I was looking specifically for a watch with a rubber or resin band that was inexpensive for use at the gym.
I ordered this watch mostly on price and that it looked pretty basic. I was extremely pleased when I received the watch. It's actually quite good looking. It does the usual stuff like alarms, timers, and of course time. The ring that holds the excess band in place has a little nub on the inside that sort of snaps into an unused buckle hole that keeps the excess band from eventually flopping around and getting caught on things. You know what they say - "it's the little things."
I might even buy another one.
A bargain and a darn good watch May 29, 2010

This watch is an excellent value for what you get. It has a band that fits my large wrist with one notch to spare. The time number is 3/8th of an inch tall. Easy to see for older folks. The day of the month is about 1/4 of an inch tall. The month is not shown however. No problem as most of us know what month we are in. The day of the week is a little poor in reading but you will get used to it. Water resistant but do not hit a button hard under water as it will leak. It has an extra time slot for showing a different time zone once you set it. Nothing fancy or complicated here. I won't have to constantly school myself and check a manual to operate it as the controls are laid out simply. I don't need to jam my finger in hard to press the button in. THIS WATCH WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. Simple, cheap and no big deal if it gets broken. I will buy another when the time comes. I hope Timex keeps selling it.

I got back into running and was looking for a cheap watch that had a stop watch feature. The one thing that impressed me was that despite it's price, it does not have a cheap feel. It actually feels verys sturdy. I'm giving 5 stars not because it's the best watch out there, but it's the best for the price.
Excellent, simple, TIMEX quality April 27, 2010

I was looking for a simple, cheap, (maybe even expedible) digital timepiece for backpacking. I ran across the 1440 line by Timex. There's really something for just about any active person in this line of affordable watches, the majority being around $15-$16 here on Amazon.
Pros: lightweight, I LOVE all the information on the main screen--LARGE time, seconds, date and day of the week. It also has a stopwatch and countdown timer. It's personal choice, but this is best looking of the 1440s for men...I like the mostly black look with the blue ring. Water proof to way further than I'll ever go (I'm not a diver). PRICE!!! At less than $16, it's a steal! Very comfortable watchband, and even for big arms like mine.
Cons: the second time zone feature is useless to me, but hey, it might work for some folks. And maybe it won't work with dress clothes, but I wasn't buying a dress watch.
Bottom line: get one. I personally like this over the couple Ironmans I've owned. It's simple to use, does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't break the bank doing so.
Cheers!
