I like the look, and the feel of the watch. My wife gave it to me for my birthday in September of 2022, and it was brand new. I first put it on in October, and really enjoyed it. I especially liked how the brown leather strap complimented the black face of the watch. It became my go-to, replacing my Waterbury. Then, over Thanksgiving weekend, I tried to use the chronograph to measure how long it would take for my cousins to eat a plate of mashed potatoes, and neither button did anything. They had worked, initially, but they do not work any longer. I can neither Time something, nor can I reset it, this watch has moved from being my go-to watch to me giving it a 3 star review in just a couple of weeks. I own 6 Timex watches, and this is the only Chronograph. I am usually pleased with the quality, but this one has not lived up to the Timex reputation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great price for a competent and good looking watch. I decided to swap out the smart watches for something a little less nosey and a lot better looking.
Bought the watch knowing the wristband was to small for my wrists but thought I could find another one for a DECENT price, but boy was I wrong. You want to charge me almost the fricking price of the watch for a BAND not going to happen. Then couldn't get the time set another BS time on the phone with you guys.

Thank you for your feedback. It might be worth re-calibrating the watch first. To do this, simply follow the instructions below:
1. Pull the crown all the way to the "out" position. 2. Push the upper right button repeatedly until the larger second hand reaches or is aligned with the 12 o'clock position. 3. Push the crown all the way in. 4. Press the upper right button to start and activate the stopwatch or chronograph function. 5. Press the upper right button again to stop. 6. Pull the crown all the way out. 7. Press the lower right button once to re-calibrate. The larger second hand should reset itself to the 12 o'clock position. 8. Push the crown all the way in.
