Men's Classic Digital 34mm Watch

Absolutely perfect. Just as I expected it to be. The band fits great and the functionality is what I expected out of a Timex

I scoured Amazon and the internet for simple and easy-to-read watches, looking for certain features and reading reviews, which takes more time than one would like to calculate. If you want watches with bells and whistles there are millions. If you want a watch that someone with low vision and/or memory problems/dementia can read, not so many. It’s sad when you get right down to it, but I expect it’s because those not needing exotic interfaces just use their cell phone to check the time. Dad’s watch broke, so I needed to replace it. He’s 87 with diminishing eyesight, memory problems, ad encroaching dementia. Dad has 4 or 5 clocks in his room, but can’t handle not having a watch on top of all the clocks and an over-sized timer that can break your eardrums. (When we moved him out of his house, he had so many clocks it wasn’t funny, often more than one on a surface.) All I wanted was a clearly readable time, plus the date and day of the week in a hopefully reliable watch. I narrowed my search down to three watches that varied in cost from $13 to $70. We leaned toward digital because I read that as their memory got worse, people often become unable to understand the analog clock face and benefit from just having the actual time in digits. Of these three watches, two are outstanding, and one is good if the person’s vision is still good enough. I expect that all will require us to set the time if it should need changing for any reason. I’m giving Dad all three, although the first two in the list were immediate hits. Here are the watches and why I chose them: Reizen Low-Vision Ana-Digit Atomic Watch - Leather Band Pros – Very easy to read analog face, atomic so it will keep itself set, digital day and date that will adjust itself correctly, battery-operated so doesn’t need winding. Dad thought it was absolutely beautiful. Cons – leather band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on. We replaced the band with a silver and gold stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. The day/date display could be larger. The directions are absolutely horrid. We’ll have to do any adjustments, as it takes us a bit to get some of it figured out. And trying to get the second hand to stop precisely on the 12, as required by some steps. Yeah, good luck with that! Men's Digital Sports Watch LED Screen Large Face Military Watches and Waterproof Casual Luminous Stopwatch Alarm Simple Army Watch - Black Pros – The first thing Dad said about this watch was that he could read it without squinting. And he’s right, just a beautiful clear bright display. Easy enough to set. Cheap; if this watch breaks easily, I could get one a month for Dad without stressing. Surprisingly enough, Dad – who’s rather conservative – may actually like this watch more than the Reizen, even though the Reizen is more attractive. I think it’s that the time is just so incredibly easy to read. Cons – Plastic band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on and that will make some folks’ arms sweat. We replaced the band with a black stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. That changed the looks of the watch immensely. It went from a plain huge hunk of plastic to a cool military type watch. So win/win for another $8 or so. Timex Men's T78587 Classic Digital Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch Pros – exactly the type of interface we wanted. Simple display with date, day, and time. All digital. So far so good. The bright display background makes digits more visible, plus there’s a light. It came with a twist-a-flex/expandable metal band making it easy to put on, unlike the others which came with latched bands. Cons – the display/digits are smaller than optimum. This watch can’t be read easily by a person with low vision. That said, Dad can read it with a bit of squinting. It’s sad, because otherwise this would be the perfect watch for Dad, but the smaller display makes this the lesser of the three watches. So far, Dad likes it the least. We bought twist-a-flex/expandable metal bands at Walmart and also ordered Gilden Gents Expansion 17-22mm Black Stainless Steel Watch Band 552-B-3 on Amazon. A slip-on watch is a must for those with diminished coordination. Overall, we like all three watches and would buy them all again with the caveats above. We’re leaving all three with Dad so he can rotate through them to see which one he likes the best or just to change what he’s wearing, since he’s always loved watches. Should any watch not perform up to expectations, I will amend this review.

Love this watch! Nice addition to my growing watch collection. Easy to set! It was a little big for my wrist, but was able to easily remove 3 links— just did a quick google search and found a 2min video showing how to remove and re-link the band.

Even at the exorbitant $139/year for Prime, a customer cannot opt out of Amazon's absurd, inferior "green"/grocery-paper/no-box packaging. So, your new watch will arrive crushed in its product box, because Amazon refuses to use a proper shipping box. Think about this especially if unnecessary scratches bother you or if your watch is intended as a gift. I now avoid Amazon for many purchases because of its hippie/"green," no-box/reduced-cardboard-box nonsense. As for the watch, I have accumulated in my junk drawer several over recent decades, all purchased at WM, which no longer seems to carry the watch in its stores. The built-to-fail watch's weak point is Timex's deliberately difficult battery-replacement chore that involves four tiny outer screws; three even tinier and even harder to affix inner-plate screws (each the size of a grain of sand), and a loose, chintzy, easily deformable gasket. In short, even with a good light, magnifier, and jeweler's screwdriver, you may spend an hour chasing screws that you had better not lose. Timex knows that you will suffer and depends on it: Many guys simply throw away the watch and buy another, rather than endure the battery chore. After a couple of battery changes, the watch will die. Save it for parts, in your junk drawer. Also, note that this not-waterproof watch's display shows temporary condensation occasionally, but that resolves on its own. I have stuck with this annoying watch model, because no other reasonably priced, good-looking, commonly available digital Timex or Casio has larger time digits, a clean display with time/date/day, and an XL expansion band (other watches would make me buy a Twist-O-Flex band as a replacement). I worry much less about banging up or getting dirty a reasonably priced, easy-to-replace timepiece. There are a lot of UGLY, goofy (and overpriced) watches, out there. This one could use LARGER digits, but Timex is printing money with it, so Timex spending a penny on making better use of the face is not going to happen. Same goes for making battery replacement easy rather than torture.

When my 20 year old Timex finally died, I went looking for smartwatches but there were so many and the prices were just too high. Talk about sticker shock. So I went looking to see if I could find the same Indiglo Timex watch that served me so well for over 20 years and sure enough, the exact same watch that I was very familiar and satisfied with was still available. Without hesitation I bought it. When it arrived I was not disappointed. It was the exact same watch. It keeps excellent time within one second accuracy across a month. The Indiglo backlight is dim and always was but that doesn’t bother me. The display is easy to read in normal light and readable in the dark with the momentary push of the backlight button. The watch is well constructed and promoted as water resistant. The flex watchband is great and can even be twisted inside out for cleaning. I like the 24 hour/12 hour option and the six alarms. The built-in calendar keeps abreast of the days in each month so there’s no manual correction for 28, 30 or 31 day months. I believe it needs correction on leap day every four years. For those looking for a non smartwatch, this Timex Indiglo is excellent.

My father-in-law has had this watch for about 10 years. About every two, I have to change the battery (he is 96 years old and changing the battery is really painful surgery). For him, this is a great watch. It comes with a flexible metal band that holds up great and fits his thin wrist. It has a large digital screen with a back light so he can easily see the time. It has plenty of features (which he simply ignores), and I only have to reset it for the semi-yearly time change (it doesn't auto change). Changing the battery is a real challenge. Now that I am 70 with shaking hands and failing eyesight, it is proving to be more than I am willing to expend. The last two times (2 and 4 years ago) it took me about 3 hours each time. One year he snuck off and paid a jeweler...it was over 20 bucks, so I buckled down and did it myself the last two times. This time when the battery died, he passed it to me asking me to change it out. Still had a replacement battery and took off the back and then took off the watch cover retainer. Never could get the screws to go back into their holes...and I knew I still had to short the two terminals once the new battery was installed to get it working again....I simply gave up and ordered a new one (SAME MODEL) from Amazon. It arrived it two days, and my father-in-law was pleasantly surprised at how good the watch looked -- he said it looked new! If only he knew. I dutifully accepted the $3 for the cost of the new battery cost, and handed over the watch. He's happy, and so am I. It is nice that Timex keeps selling this model, without visible changes. Worth every penny.

My husband LOVES this watch! We bought it back in 2023 and the band just now gave out. We have taken it into the ocean and river countless times! I had to get him another.

Have been wearing this same model watch since 1990 . They were great and lasted me a few years usually. By the time I retire them they are usually still working but either the finish wears off or the part where the pin for the band goes through breaks out. I am pretty hard on watches since I do construction. Price wise they are good and not very expensive .My newest which was purchased in June 2025. The finish had already worn off badly in 3 months and I haven't even been working. The metal flex bands to me are horrible as they pull my hair, so every time I buy one I buy a couple plastic bands . Warranty is pretty much useless with Timex, as they wont cover the finish wearing off. I think the quality has really gone down hill and think its about time to start looking for a different watch.

Montre super. Robuste. Et franchement sympa au poignet. Petit hic, si je peux dire, il y a un bip ttes les heures et je n'arrive pas à l'enlever. Certains pourront aussi trouver cela gênant mais le jour et mois sont affichés en anglais (mois/date)

Very good watch, love the strap (it needs some positioning or it feels like it's clamping my hand). It has basic functions, which is good enough.

Sono un appassionato di orologi ed in particolare modo dei modelli Timex. Questo modello vintage è leggero e funzionale con una buona illuminazione.

Hermoso reloj. Los números se aprecian en todo tiempo, es ligero y no estorba. La correa es para muñeca estándar. Mi brazo es delgado y tiene mucho juego, pero nada que no se pueda arreglar cambiando o ajustando la correa.
