Timex T20041 Reader Brown Leather
I used to like this watch.I am not that old:) but when my father pinched my previous easy reader and would not swap it for a costlier watch, I bought it again- and kept wondering why would that happen(my father foresaking a costlier watch for this watch.)-
His reasons were:
-I can see the dial clearly during the day, and during the night-without straining the eyes looking for a little radium crystal somewhere.
-The watch is not too heavy.
-If I lose it I can buy it again(or pinch it) without much anguish.
-It was free because he forced me to give to him as a gift (actually, I could not take it off him.)
I am coming to those conclusions as well.It actually looks quite decent with brown leather strap.
The Date adjustment can be very tricky- and finding the middle station very difficult.
Significant loss of time has not been an issue so far- timex haven't mentioned the limits of accuracy in their brochure either.I will keep an eye on that.

I have had one of these watches for the past 5 years. The original battery almost lasted four years. The indiglo feature is great at night. Large dial is very easy to read. I do not wear this in heavy work areas as I don't think the crystal would handle really rough conditions. Good watch for the price.
BalasHapusVery nice Timex!
BalasHapusPros:
- simple, large numbers, easy to read
- full-display backlight
- the one I bought ran slow by 1/3 second per day (results may vary). That seems quite accurate to me, but I have never tested watches before
Cons:
- because the leather band is maroon-color, sweat from my wrist soaks in easily and colors the edges black for a few hours. So if you want this watch to always look good, don't wear it when exercising.
- day-of-week and day-of-month don't switch at the same time (day-of-week moves from 12 AM to 3 AM, and day-of-month moves from 9 PM to 1 AM), so between 1 AM and 3 AM the two don't agree.
Great watch. classic look, retro feel. thick band, but replaceable anyway. relatively small; about 37mm width and 15mm band (at smallest width). Worth it.
