5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect back to basic watch… buy it

2026-01-03    -hazel314

Simplify your life. Just buy it. I ditched my Apple Watch SE 40mm and watched a watch to wear outside of work and not worry about it getting beat up. At $25-50, I could not be more pleased. Easy to set time, day, and date (although crown is a smidge small). Indigo is awesome. Size wise the case takes up the same rectangular space as the Apple Watch SE 40 mm but wears a bit bigger since the face is such a large percentage of the case. My wrist is just under 6.5 inch, and I did have to take out a few links from the stretch band (search YouTube for tutorial). Easy to read for anyone over 50… no one is getting any younger. The thickness is also good without being to bulky (will not interfere with sleeve or winter coats. I am so happy with this watch that I bought a second one to pair with a nylon strap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timex ……. They really are timeless

2026-02-24    -J R K

I had a Timex Indiglo years ago and have missed it ever since it died. Have purchased several other brands and they have all been good watches but finding myself in need of another I remembered how much I liked that Timex and was surprised to see it still available. Sometimes it’s the simplicity of things that really bring out their quality. This watch is all about that. It couldn’t be any easier to set and the dial is very easy to read for these 70 year old eyes. It’s really nice to have the Indiglo feature back for viewing in low light and my favorite type of band, no clasp to fuss with, just slide it on and off you go. It has a nice gold tone that matches my wedding band and all this for less than $50. Oh! And did I mention it’s hands down the most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn. There are literally thousands of watches to choose from out there, some good some not so good, many much better, but if you want something simple, handsome, accurate, comfortable and reasonably priced try a Timex.

This watch was identical to my old one that lasted 20+ years. Always kept great time and rarely changed the battery. I found face to be nearly scratch proof as I wore this at work and everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Affordable watch that works and looks good.

This is a quality watch that does everything a watch should do. It is attractive and always works. It is affordable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good simple watch.

This is my first experience with the Timex Easy Read watch and it has been great so far. The watch face is easy on my eyes and the styling is simple. The Indigo backlight is a really good feature for me.I also like the expansion band. It is comfortable. Because it is a simple watch I find I take it off a lot to protect it from impact and water exposure. I find it is not a big deal.I can see why this watch has so many positive reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timex Men's 'Easy Reader' Quartz Brass and Stainless Steel Casual Watch (Gold-Tone) (T2N0929J)

2026-01-02    -Keith Heapes

When my Seiko watch I had worn as an everyday watch gave up the ghost after 20 years, it was time to replace that faithful timepiece. I didn't want to spend a lot on a replacement and when I discovered that similar Seiko watches had gone up over five times the price my wife had paid for my now deceased watch, it was time to move my search for a new casual watch elsewhere. My wife suggested a casual Timex watch since I was going to wear it every day. Good suggestion.I chose this gold-tone Timex Men's 'Easy Reader' Quartz watch because I like the simple, uncluttered way it looks and also because its analogue quartz movement is easy to read. I'm getting up there in years and so simple and easy to read is important to me. I particularly like the larger black Arabic numerals, and because I am a veteran, the smaller red Arabic numeral 24-hour clock was a nice addition, too. Most of my previous watches have had a day-date calendar built into the face, so I appreciated Timex putting this feature in this new Timex watch. Another feature I didn't have on my Seiko was the nifty greenish Indiglo light that Timex included for checking the time in the dark. Just press the watch stem in and voila!, there is light. On some watches, the light will stay on until you press the stem again (or the battery dies). This Timex indiglo stays on only as long as the watch stem is pressed. I didn't see this as a problem since, in most cases, I would only be pressing the stem to find out what time it was or to read the calendar.The case on this Timex is slightly larger than the one on my Seiko. The diameter of the Timex case is about 1 3/8” (35mm). My Seiko has a gold face, gold hands, gold numerals and a gold second-hand. You can probably imagine how difficult and accurately reading the clock must have been unless there was enough light. This Timex has a gold-tone case, wristband, stem and second-hand. Like the numerals, the clock hands are also black and the watch face is a contrasting white. Even with the gold second-hand, the white face makes it so much easier for my aged eyes to quickly read the time. The watch comes with an extra long and adjustable expansion band. Unless the wrist area of your arm is quite fleshy, links will need to be removed for proper fitting. I had that done for me at a local department store that sold Timex watches; didn't take more than 10 minutes. Of course, they knew what they were doing.The watch comes with what I thought was a small, rolled up user guide in the box. To my surprise, all it included was brief information (in eleven different languages) about the watch being water resistance, the battery and the international warranty; nothing regarding actually setting and using the watch. Okay. To get the manual, I had to download it from the Timex website using the model number to ensure I downloaded the correct manual PDF. The English version of the manual is 26 pages long; it covered everything I needed to know about this Timex watch. According to the manual, this Timex watch is both water and shock resistance (not water and shock proof!). The manual says it is “water resistant up to 30m (100 feet): in plain English, it withstands splashes or brief immersion in water, but not suitable for swimming or bathing.”Setting the time and calendar was easy to do, though there was one surprise. To set the calendar day of the week (Sunday - Saturday), the clock hands had to be manually turned around and around (backwards!) until the desired day appeared in the calendar box on the watch face. That may seem easy enough unless the watch is showing Wednesday and you need it to read Saturday. That means you have to turn the hour-hand completely around the 12 on the face three or four times. That is really old school.Another task that needs to be tended to at the end of certain months of the year is correcting the numeric date on the watch calendar. Except for Feb, Apr, Jun, Sep and Nov, all of the other months have 31 days. So, when you get to the end of one of the months with less than 31 days, a manual adjustment must be made. For example, on 1 March my watch calendar read [WED 29] because February only has 28 days in 2017. For this reason I had to advance the numeric date ahead from 29 to 1 so the watch would read [MAR 1]. Just so you also know, the stem edge is very shiny and smooth, which makes turning the stem more difficult than if the stem head was notched around the edge for grip. Once I got the calendar set, I set the watch hands according to the U.S. Naval Observatory Master Clock (I did mention I was a veteran, right?). So far my new Timex watch has kept perfect time!Remember: Turn the hands "forward" (clockwise) to change the numerical date and turn the hands "backwards" to change the day of the week. If you try to do it any other way you will only frustrate yourself.UPDATE (24 March 2021): I've had this watch for four years now and it continues to keep time accurately to the minute. The Indeglo light still works fine and the watch still looks as good as new, even though I wear it often. And best of all, I have mastered adjusting the calendar!

Only belt issue which is smaller in width
