Timex Easy Reader 35 mm Watch

This is my third Timex watch of this particular model. They are brilliant watches for a really great price. They have generally given me approximately seven to eight years of use before wear and tear have prompted me to replace them. I like this model for several reasons; the clear white dial with large numbers is very visible and the day/date readout is useful and easy to read; the smart leather strap is made from soft leather and comfortable to wear. A very useful feature is the INDIGLO night light which illuminates the white dial when the adjustment crown is pressed in; there is enough illumination to see your way across a darkened room! This watch is advertised to be water resistant to 30 meters. The watch is very hard wearing and very easy to wear; it looks more expensive than it actually costs, I highly recommend this Timex timepiece!

This is my review of "Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch - T20041"From the date of posting this review, i have had the product for 4 months, wearing it constantly within these 4 months. The first thing that strikes you is the clarity of the face of the watch. It truely is an easy reader, the numbers stand out well meaning you can take a glance and be able to make out the time - your eyes don't get lost in the watch unlike others.The leather strap looks durable and seems to be keeping up with the constant (ab)use.It has everything i look for in a watch: shows the specific day, date, water resistant and has a light.Its waterproof for everyday use (not swimming) and i never take mine off when in the shower and as expected, it continues to work.It is worth noting, it is on the smaller side for a watch. I have smaller hands and slim wrists so this watch suits me down to the ground. it doesn't look overly bulky on my wrist (a problem i've had with previous watches) so if you have the same issue i've had in the past, this watch wont make your wrist look as if it's being weighed down.Lastly the light on the watch is what you expect. A green glowing light that is turned on by pushing (and holding) the crown.This is a great product and when i was searching around, the battery life was around the 4-5 year mark. So for the price (£29.99 at time of purchase) this is an absolute bargain and would recommend to anyone looking for a practical watch for everyday use.

the watch is a simple and effective timepiece. the bracelet strap is durable and attractive.the watch face is simple/old school design which i like.i would have preferred it without the day/date dial as this is very small and detracts from it being an easy read watch.the light is great if you wear the watch in bed, as i do. i can wake up and check the time without moving my head or turning over to read a clock or phone.i have bought several of these over the years and they have all given good service, on the down side they are now becoming expensive, the first two i bought years ago from asda supermarket cost £20.00 each. now they are £50.00 each which is a massive increase in price. overall, still a good useful watch, no one is going to envy you wearing it but it is so far as telling the time and having a light with a decent expandable strap much more use than the ubiquitous rolex. depends how big your ego is i suppose.

All I want in a watch is: plain, tasteful design; easily read at a glance; decent time keeping (no need for NASA-style accuracy); luminous dial or simple light; value.This watch offers all of these things. I've had several. They're cheap enough that when the battery runs out - after about three or four years - I throw the watch away and buy another one. The strap gives up long before the watch, usually after a couple of years. But a strap (18mm) - leather, silicon, whatever - is cheap and can be kept for the next replacement.Don't listen to the moaners go on about the difficulty of setting the watch. It's not hard.I'll be gutted if Timex stops making these.

Excellent watch, the display is easy to read, especially at night. The watch strap is slightly different to the one pictured, it's more red than brown, I'd recommend replacing it.

A clear clutter free dial certainly makes this watch easy to read in normal light conditions but the hands are not luminous so in the dark you need to push in the adjuster to switch on the "Indigo" feature which works well light up the entire dial reasonable brightly and evenly. The is quite thin and lightweight and the basic look presents itself in perhaps is a watch more suitable for children although as I'm not worried about image it's OK with me. One silly aspect is that the day and date does not change to around 3AM the next day. One would imagine it would have been easy to fit the hands so the day changed either side of midnight. I was convinced I had a duff watch and had it replaced by Amazon very quickly, but alas, the replacement worked in exactly the same way. I still thought is was wrong but accepted the watch I can only imagine they are all the same. Bottom line a cheap clear faced watch with backlight and leather strap....would suit a child very well but OK for adults too.

Nice watch, easy to read clear dial; very reliable and accurate 8 months after purchase.
