Summary: Great Watch!
Comment: I received my Timex yesterday, and this is a great watch at a good price. It looks fantastic, very masculine, not too big, not too little. It has a solid feel but is not overly heavy on my wrist. The strap is very nice quality water resistant leather. The watch/chrono/alarm functions work fine, it just takes a little while to get used to the large second hand being stationary unless the chrono function is turned on. The alarm function is nice, and easy to set and use. There are alarm markers for both the hour and the minute, and you can set the alarm two different ways. The chrono will show up to 30 minutes total elapsed time and will reset after 4 hours. So, if you want to time something over 30 minutes, you can set the minutes or minutes and hour alarm markers at the start time in a similar manner to using a rotating bezel on a dive watch. The bezel on this watch is fixed and has the scale for mph that can be used with the chrono function to determine speed over a one mile distance. I would by this watch again, and will wear it a lot. I received the usual good service from Amazon and might just buy another version (color) of this watch.

Summary: Nice Chronograph
Comment: This is a great looking chronograph. Although it took me some time to figure out how to set the chronograph, it is quite simple once you get the hang of it. Unfortunately, the user manual is a little confusing and that is why most users find it difficult to reset the sub-dials to 0. The main seconds hand is actually for the stopwatch and the sub-dial at 6'O clock shows the seconds. Alarm is loud enough and easy to set with the button at 4'O Clock.

To reset the chronograph sub-dials to 0, first pull out Crown to 1st position, press the button at 8'O Clock to set the Minutes Sub-dial at 10. Pull the Crown again to the 2nd position, press the button at 8'O Clock to set the 1/10-Second sub-dial at 2. Then press the button at 2'O Clock to set the Seconds Needle.

The leather strap is fine but i preferred something more sporty and broader so i replaced it with a black Fast-wrap nylon strap from Voguestrap and now it looks even better.
TX977761L, Timex watchband, Fast - Wrap Expedition, 16-20mm, Black, Adjustable, Long

I would have given it a 5-star but the stop-watch only goes upto Half and Hour.

Summary: Good watch for the money.
Comment: The watch is basic. All I needed and it was half off on Amazon so I picked it up. I like it. It serves the simplicty of my daily life. Lights up bright and I like the leather band. Probably far better watches out there for the money, but I wanted something simple and with a leather band. I do not like the rubberbands that make my wrist sweat in the summer.

Summary: Very nice watch, like the features
Comment: Purchased for myself Dec. 2008. I did not have any problems with any of the features. I recommend you actually READ the directions that come with the watch. The directions seem like a lot when you open them, but they are written in several different languages, so the English version is not really that long. The directions clearly explain that you need to calibrate the chronograph by setting all the dials to zero; after you do that, it works perfectly. The quick set alarm is so easy to set you will be amazed, all watches and clocks should allow setting alarm this simply. The alarm is not going to wake the dead, but it is plenty loud enough to wake any normal person from a deep sleep. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who likes an analog watch, with alarm and chrono that is easy to use with just minutes of practice.

Summary: Not a real chronograph
Comment: I thought it was a real chronograph but it is not. To me, a real chronograph has three small dials registering seconds, minutes up to an hour and hours up to 12 hours. On this watch, the small dials register seconds, minutes up to one-half hour and 20ths of a second which is useless to me. I wanted a chronograph that measured hours of lapsed times. I sent it back.
