" ... I bought this to replace a similar model because the face is a little larger and the nylon strap is sturdier and easier to clasp. ... "
" ... I'm not a watch fanatic so all I'm looking for is ease of read and comfort. ... The second hand on my green dial TW4814000 is blaze orange so it stands out nicely. ... The supplied canvas strap is comfortable. ... "
" ... Husband to replace his broken military watch. ... Has all the looks of the original and then some. ... "
" ... They look very similar and the Timex is a fraction of the cost of the Vaer. ... Upon receiving it, my first impression was that it is a very attractive watch that looks even better in person than it does online. ... I’m going to enjoy wearing this as my main watch this summer. ... And it is quiet, I can not hear it ticking when it is on my wrist. ... "
" ... Like many reviewing purchasers, I put it on a thinner and softer NATO. ... "
" ... This watch feels solid in the hand, but weightless on the wrist. ... (This could be a useful feature to prevent it from leaving your wrist without permission.) ... "
" ... Nice subdued coloration. ... Not as easy to read, even with Indigo, but very cool and stealthy. ... "
" ... They simply pull the pin a tiny bit out and it will change the date without changing the hands on the clock. ... I have small 6 1/2" wrist and the watch fits well. ... "

" ... I’ve now owned three of these watches, and for every one, the Indiglo feature has failed. ... My current one lasted 7 months and the one before it lasted slightly more than a year. ... At least my first one lasted several years, which was the only one not purchased on Amazon. ... "
" ... I've had this watch for 3 weeks now. ... Some days and some days it's fine. ... "
" ... Update, indiglo stopped working today (2|6|21). ... "
" ... I've had two watches that would randomly stop working, but could be restarted with a hard slap. ... This watch showed up in the package not working. ... The date won't change from the 23rd, which was one of the functions I need to have working. ... "
" ... Back then if you broke a Timex or it stopped working you could send it back and they would repair or replace it for free. ... I chocked it up to, "well maybe I banged it on something and caused it to leak." ... So, I bought this one about a month ago. ... It did for two days. ... "
" ... Update: Didn’t last 90 days and the light went out. ... "
" ... The dial is essentially unreadable. ... "
" ... And since its been 8 months since I ordered it I don't think I can return it or get a refund. ... "
