Timex Men's T75961 Classic Digital Black Strap Watch

 (12 customer reviews)

I bought this watch as a 'spare' for my husband. He's had this same brand and style of watch as a work watch for nearly 20 years. He works outside all the time doing substation maintenance and needs a watch that can take some roughness. He's never had a problem with this watch. The only reason I bought a new one is so he would have an extra one should something happen to his older one. He's never even wanted to try any other kind of watch since this brand and style works best for him. It's a rugged watch that can endure some rough knocks due to the type of work he does. He's never had any problems with the Timex and doesn't want to change. The price is great, the watch is durable yet stylish, and the shipping was fantastic.

I slept with it on. I ate with it on. I showered with it on. This thing has endured all manner of weather and circumstance. I pretty much only took it off every once in a while to clean the inside of the band, on which salt and grime would accumulate from long, sweaty use. This watch is simple and strong. I bought mine for 10 bucks from the Army PX and didn't have to replace the battery or do anything to it for approximately 3 years. The band had somehow "vulcanized" and become hard and brittle after the constant abuse it took from me, so when it snapped I chucked it and bought a new one. The only other thing I'll add is that it is very light and you'll hardly notice it's...Read more
