Slip on this powerfully styled Timex stainless steel men's chronograph watch (model 45951) when you're feeling the need for speed. It features engraved tachymeter readings on the silver, coin-edged bezel, which can be used to measure time over distance, as well as a 4-hour chronograph that measures 1/20th seconds, seconds, and minutes. This stylish watch features a large, round silver watch case and cream dial, which is complemented by the three silver-outlined chronograph subdials and luminous hands (with seconds hand). It also has a date window at 4 o'clock that incorporates Timex's Quick-Date feature with a three-position crown that makes setting the watch quick and easy. Other features include a water-resistant brown leather strap (with white contrast stitching), 4-year battery life, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.
Reviews
Nice but unreliable alarmI have just returned the second Timex Chrono Alarm Watch with an unreliable alarm after a few days/weeks of use. It just doesn't sound every now and then, probably every once in 10 to 20 times, failure rate increases over time. A shame since the watch is very nice and keeps the time very accurately. We have had 5 Timex watches in the family over the past ~6 years. Out of those 5, 3 had to be returned due to failures. The other two have run for ~4 and ~6 years with no problem now. While these two certainly provide a good value for the money, a success rate of 40% is not very convincing and the idea to outsource quality control to the customer might be fashionable but will hopefully not turn out a successful business strategy after all.
Disappointing watchMy past experience with Timex watches showed them to be reliable and tough. That's why I ordered this one. I guess my tastes have changed. I bought about two dozen watches last year and nearly all of them were in the larger style that is currently popular.
When this one arrived I was immediately struck by its comparatively small size (of the dial). Because it seemed so small it looked very cluttered, what with three sub-dials crammed onto the small face. The color looked washed-out too.
When I tried setting the watch the crown unscrewed and came off after very few turns. The final straw was when I tried it on: the strap was too long for my relatively small wrist, leaving the end of the strap sticking out and unsightly.
It might make a great work watch for someone with larger wrists, but it simply didn't suit my needs and I returned it to Amazon.
Nice looking watch, too bad it doesn't work properlyI liked the looks of this watch and the reasonable price, but couldn't decide between the black or the white model, so I ordered both. Neither of them worked correctly. The black watch had a DOA indiglo light. On both watches the chronograph would not reset automatically. Another reviewer recommended hitting the button at just the right moment to stop it. Come on, that is not the way it's supposed to work. The instructions clearly state that it will reset to the proper position by itself.
In addition, the date can only be advanced by moving the hour hand a full 24 hours for each day you want to advance. I've had date watches for more than 40 years and the last time I saw that was in 1965.
On the other hand, if you're not bothered by the above it is a very attractive watch at a reasonable price. I almost kept the white one anyway, but decided to send them both back.
Good, but not so goodThe watch is great in every respect except one. White hands on a white background make it really hard to read, especially in dim light.
Big BerthaAttractive functions and appearance, but very thick and heavy. Hope I'm strong enough to wear it!
