Update: 5 months later and it is still my favorite watch. The band is flexible, hasn't cracked, and the watch looks great. I don't know if it is waterproof but it did survive the cool wash cycle on my washing machine. I misplaced my watch only to find it in a completed wash load. It was still on the timer I used the evening before and had the correct time when switched. Yeah! If it hadn't survived the wash I would have purchased an new one of the same model.

I've used some model of the Timex Ironman watch for 40 years of running/walking. I found that the strap usually broke long before the battery gave out. When my band broke recently I decided to purchase a watch with a rubber band instead of resin to avoid this ongoing issue. I no longer need all the timer options that I got with the Ironman, just a simple stopwatch to time my activities.
After researching many watches with the timer feature I decided on this one.

Positives for me are: rubber band less likely to break, large numbers, simple timer, backlight, looks so cool! Negatives: so far none. I thought I would not like the larger face but I do, it was just different that what I was used to. I would definitely buy this again and would recommend to a friend who wanted a simple good looking watch with a timer. I do not use it in water so cannot comment on water resistence.

Great to look at but not very user friendly. Have no clue how to turn off the alarm and keep it off.

The watch display is more subtle than I'm used to, so initially I thought it was not readable enough in daytime (due to the black background), and that the pushbutton night display was too brief. I've had it several days now, and I like the simplicity, as well as the solid feel of both watch and crystal, and the comfort and style of the silicon strap. It reads well, and I do like the way the night display fades. I've got a sturdy, more well-featured digital watch that I use for sailing: it has the bells and whistles (e.g., a countdown timer with an alarm) I need for that task. This is my land watch.

The band is comfortable, the display is large and easy to read, but unlike just about every other digital watch I have ever owned, this one requires you to press a button to see the date.

Some reviewers have complained that the numbers are difficult to see, but I think those users must have gotten a watch with a display with the black background. The watch with the display with the gray background is very easy to see in all situations.

The other negative about this watch is the process for changing the settings seems unnecessarily cumbersome. I usually stumble onto how to make a change, but it's never without a struggle. I really hate to think that I have to carry the instructions with me all the time in case I find myself in need of changing the settings of the watch when I don't have access to the internet.

One thing I do like about the settings on this watch is that it requires two simultaneous button pushes to turn on the alarm or the hourly chime. I've had other watches that
were far to easy to accidentally turn on the chime or alarm and that is very annoying.

Overall, this is a good watch and a good value. Just don't expect it to show you the time and date simultaneously.

This colorful, comfortable watch keeps me in the know: time, date, day of week, so I think it's a great value. Yes, as other said, it's a bit of a pain to program, but I found a youtube video on this exact product. Once it's demonstrated, you'll understand the logic.
However, let me share one thing that is not mentioned in the manual or the video: if you don't make a change to the time, then it will not proceed to the date. Therefore, if you do not need to change the time (but you do want to change the date), just PRETEND to change the time (let it return to the original time) and then you'll be allowed to continue on to the date.
Otherwise everything is covered in the manual and/or the video.
