I bought this watch because it was inexpensive and had an alarm. It continues to be my favorite watch.
I wondered if the band would hold up to wear and tear. It has held up well showing little wear or dirt.
I bought it in blue and it matches many colors surprisingly well. It keeps perfect time, the alarm is reliable and I get compliments on how it looks. It is not like the usual alarm sport watch that is bulky and ugly.
I have even forgotten to change it and even had it on with dress clothes. Any other sport watch I would have taken off and hidden away but I wore this one anyway.
This watch is a great bargain. Timex Women's T5G891 1440 Sports Digital Watch
Pros:
- Greats sports watch
- Great features: Item displays the date and time (including seconds), has a stopwatch, alarm clock, timer, and 2 time zones. (You can make your watch function according to 12 or 24 hr)
- Water resistant up to 50m
- Alarm beeps for a minute and turns off (can be good or bad depending on the person) and you can set it once and it repeats daily... Some people might complain about how you can only set one alarm and how the alarm might not be noticeable or there is NO snooze feature...
- Very cheap
Cons:
- Band is a bit childish (it's a sports watch with a 4-leaf clover band) and can get dirty over time...
- Buttons might be kind of hard to press at times
- INDIGLO light turns on and fades over time - I believe this product would be better if you press it once and it kept the light on and press to turn it off... However, the light slowly fades within a few seconds of pressing the button...
- annoying sound produced when clicking on a button -it'd be cool if the company could have a feature to turn off the sound when pressing on a button (it's a small beep -which isn't too bad but it's noticeable when you're trying to keep quiet)
When I bought this watch from Amazon almost a year ago there were several very positive reviews. Mine keeps great time and was perfect for a European trip that included a lot of train travel. I set it for the 24-hour time. The main complaint was the band getting dirty. It comes off the watch and is easily washed. Mine was pretty dirty and I super sprayed it with Spray and Wash and let it sit a long time. Then I put it in a plastic storage container with a little dish soap and swished it around strongly. I had to rub a couple especially dirty spots before rinsing it under the faucet and setting it out to dry. My watch looks brand new!
This is a fine product, on the whole. However, I was disappointed in the timer feature. I bought it to use while exercising. Since it has a timer, I thought I could set it for 30 seconds and when it would run out, it would reset to 30 seconds unless I changed it. Unfortunately you have to reset it manually every time. That is fine for some applications, but now I need to buy another new watch. The Timex Ironman has been recommended. I'll try that. But in general, this is a good value.
This watch looks considerably different than its picture online. The white part around the face is sparkley and the blue is VERY bright. Looks like something you might wear while in your bermuda shorts in Hawaii. The watch itself works great, though it does have the annoying feature of beeping every time you push a button.
I bought this watch for my 8 year old daughter. Even as a women's watch, it still fits her perfectly. She loves to wear it and more importantly, she loves the color and pattern of the band. The watch displays the time, date and seconds. It also has a nice back light that can come on with the push of a button. There is also a fun timer that she can easily access with the push of two buttons. The only mild complaint I would have would be that the watch head is slightly thicker than preferred. But overall a good quality watch for the price.
Got this watch for our daughter for her birthday almost 2 years ago and she will be 8 this Nov. She loves this watch and wears it 24/7 and never takes it off. She is also on the winter and summer swim teams and she swims with it on pretty much all year long. The time is still accurate since the first day we bought it. The band is still intact even with being in the chlorine constantly. Can't say the same for other Timex Ironman watches that I've owned where the band breaks after about a year. My daughter doesn't really use any other features except the alarm and the indiglo light to tell time in the middle of the night. You can't beat the price for this Timex water-resistant watch. So, this is a perfect watch for a kid. The only down side is the loop on the band is a bit big/loose, so the band keeps coming out of the loop during wear.'
