This is a terrific watch. The large letters are easy to read, the watch tolerates getting banged around and immersed in water, it maintains time very well, and it's comfortable. I never worry about damaging the watch--first, because it resists abuse and, second, because it's so cheap to replace.
I use the dual time zone feature, the stopwatch, and the backlighting features regularly. The time is easy to adjust and the stopwatch is quite usable, though it's not as easy to use as some other sport watches.
I'm on my third or fourth of these Timex watches. I replace them because the watchband breaks, otherwise I'd probably only be on my second one. That said, the price to just replace the watch is so low that it's not worth replacing the watchband.
So knowing the time, this watch is more convenient than a phone and much tougher than a smart watch. It doesn't have to be treated gently, it just keeps on ticking :-)

Nice inexpensive watch
I've been wearing this watch daily for a little over a year. I've not made any attempt to baby it, and it still looks like new with one minor exception. The white tick marks and print around the bezel wore off within a month of purchase. By then I had memorized the functions, and didn't need the print anymore, but it did wear off fast.The watch has large easy to read numbers and date on the main screen, but it isn't huge overall. The indiglo backlight is easy to read in the dark. These functions are all I use 99% of the time. The buttons aren't particularly easy to push accidentally, but are easy to operate when you want to use them. The stopwatch works fine, and I've never set the alarm, so can't comment there. I generally don't wear it in the water, but I did leave it on while snorkeling in salt water for a few hours, and that didn't cause any problems.If you need a countdown timer, multiple alarms, multiple time zones, etc. this isn;t the watch for you. If you're looking for a simple, easy to read, digital watch that displays the time and date and doesn't look like you're wearing a hockey puck on your wrist, you can't go wrong with this one for less than $20. If it broke tomorrow, I'd replace it with the same one.Photos are what mine look like after one year. The first photo makes it look larger than it appears on my wrist.
