Timex T73751 Black Grip Clip Digital Watch

 (72 customer reviews)

I bought this watch in December 2005 to use as a reliable but cheap timepiece during snowmobile tours in Yellowstone National Park. For two years, me and this watch experienced temeratures reaching -20 F plus... though average was probably 15 F. Still, it ran true. I even managed to wash it in my laundry, to no ill.

I'm now seeking a new watch, only because I cannot find a way to relplace the battery on this one. And I find myself unwilling to buy a different watch. It has treated me very well for its price, and so, I will buy the same watch for the same price. Thanks for the great all season product.

This is a great watch. Very sturdy, and great for those who can't stand wearing the wrist band type watch. I've had mine for quite a few years and have only had to replace the battery one or two times. The rotating timepiece is great for switching it between belt and backpack positions.
About the only downside is that the locking pin holes (that keep the timepiece from freely swiveling) tend to get worn down, and about the weakest point on the watch is actially the joint for the carabiner clip, which finally broke on me after years of use.
other than that this is a good deal.
4.5 stars out of 5.

I just ordered another one of these. After a year and a half of abuse, what did my last one in was a seatbelt; the belt had worked its way halfway into the clip when I stood up. Anyway, my only problem with this item is the attatchment point for the spring part of the clip. It really should be metal, but for 20 bucks I'll buy another. I haven't seen another digital clip watch that isn't a kid's item.
