I'm in the military and one of my official duties is to keep the official time for the command, and I use this watch to set our clocks by. I wear it in a tough, demanding environment and it has held up incredibly well. I also wear it when I stand the overnight watch and the Indiglo works great.
My only complaint is that the keepers on the band are made of very thin leather, and have stretched out quite a bit. But other than that, a solid watch at an incredible value.
I have had this watch for 4mos.it has been set to atomic clock,and is still to the second,I switched the Strap to a crown and Buckle,Camo,Nato.strap and the pair were made for each other! I love the looks,of this one,it is one of my Favorites,worth the price!
I liked the style, however I looked at it one day while wearing it and the stem had fallen out somewhere unknown to me. Very disappointed considering the price my daughter must have paid for the watch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this as I had never had a chrono from Timex. I have now had this for 2 months and wear at least a couple times a week. So far I am happy with the fit and finish. My only observation is that I had to reset the date this week due to end of February. The adjustment via the crown is a little awkward.
I had this watch, decided to sell it. It was fine watch and a fine watch for the money. The reason I sold it was the little things. I wanted a black watch, then put on a black band, the watch is more brown than black on the face, mislead by online photos. Then the big issue, the set up of the chronograph. The minute counter goes up to 30 minutes not an hour. I find that awkward. Better chronographs count to 60 minutes. Next, the third dial that divides seconds into 1/20 of a second is not needed at all. Not for me anyway. I'm also not a fan of the 0-60 seconds dial, I would prefer the standard 1-12 hour system. It was pretty cool with a black Nato strap, I like the night illumination, I like the size, it was the little things I that made me decide against it. That said, I still think Timex is fine watch choice. Watch snobs can take a flying leap. Peace
I would recommend this to a friend!

This watch is just a fantastic buy. It's not going to fall apart in a week. My only con is that I would like it to come with a rubber strap. The leather is beautiful and makes the watch somewhat dressy, the name alone would lead you to believe you could wear it in foul weather. Offer a rubber strap (not a fan of nylon for this application) and you've got a product that will never get left at home.
