30 minute chrono can be used for longer but you need to know when it passes 30 minutes. The 1/10th second dial on the chrono is useless and would be better without it. This watch has a 43mm face yet the band is barely large enough to fit on my wrist. Will probably switch the band out in favor of a longer silicone/nylon band and/or just gift it to my kid. That's a shame because it's not a bad-looking watch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got this watch as something cheap to wear on a trip, but it became my go-to most of the time. The chronograph function is useful as a timer, the indiglo likewise (there is lume, also but not much and who cares, when you have indiglo).
This was my very first watch and has been a trooper for five years! This has been my go-to for hiking, hang-outs, church, road trips, camping, etc. Wore it on my very first date with my wife. Hiked parts of the AT with it. It’s been banged up, rained on, submerged, sweated on, and still works perfectly. Even after all this time it still holds up, and man, does it still look good. Only been through one strap change and one battery change, and except for a little bit of wear on the bottom of the crown, you’d think I just got it (and it’s been through the ringer). Would recommend this watch to anyone, for any use!
I love this watch been a timex fan since was a child I never could.afford one I would watch the other kids with thier Ironman watches and would be so jealous now I'm adult I've finally gotten a timex I didn't know that they made chronograph watches well that weren't digital very pleased with mine and the movements smoothness I do think the band could be better tbh I got the cloth type band wanted the leather but could not find one with that band had to settle with this one
I read the instructions for this watch before doing anything else and zeroed out the dials properly. The chronograph functioned great the first day. Second day, I used the chronograph to time my lunch break and when I went to stop the timer it stopped fine and the elapsed time read correctly. When I depressed the button to reset the chronograph it did not go back to zero. It then would not start, stop, or reset neither chronograph button will do anything now. Strange thing is, it is still keeping perfect time and date. I'm super disappointed. It's a really nice looking watch and the reviews seem good. Maybe I just got a lemon.

Durable, good looking time piece! I have put my watch through some rough situations but still functions and looks the same as when I bought it. Great watch!
My dad recommended this watch to me when I was back in middle school and I picked it up almost 7 years ago. I've worn it almost every day since then, and it has been amazing with little to no major issues. The leather strap finally gave out about 2 years ago, but there are plenty of aftermarket options and I wanted to branch out there. I've used it enough that the waterproofness of the seals is definitely gone and the metal is scratched up and gouged, but it keeps on ticking. The Indiglo no longer works, but that doesn't bother me. Survived multiple falls onto concrete and dirt. I'm going to run into pieces by the time I've moved onto another watch, but I'm super happy with this watch and the places I've been able to go to with it. As of yet, 7 countries, 4 mountain ranges, and 49 U.S. states. Now in college and it's the only watch that I've had that has survived till now.
