TimexMen's Waterbury Classic Chrono 40mm Stainless Steel Quartz Dress Watch with Leather Strap

The media could not be loaded. First things first, the whole watch is made of stainless steel, I know this because I’m allergic to metals and I have not reacted to it at all.I’ve seen some reviews mentioning the hands not aligning but so far I’ve not had that problem. The chronometer works perfectly but it’s important to note that the big second hand only works with the chronometer, regular seconds are counted by the small second hand close to the 6 position.The watch itself is beautiful and works great as a casual watch or a dress watch.Some comment complained that the dial looks printed on and that is true if you stare at it trying to nitpick things.The case is around 43 mm in diameter which is not too small nor too big, thankfully.Flat mineral glass is not easily scratched unless you’re banging your wrists against stuff.I cannot confirm whether it’s waterproof but that’s only because I don’t want to subject this gorgeous watch to a chlorine pool. It does say that it’s 50 meter water resistant however I’m guessing some of the people that complain didn’t realize they’re not supposed to push the buttons while the watch is wet.Only thing I can honestly complain about is the fact that the leather strap is so smooth that feels like fake leather and will wear out soon, or it might be ultra fine leather and I just can’t tell leather apart. Oh and it’s pretty light, so I know some men will complain about not being big and heavy enough…hahaOverall great watch, my wife complimented me on it and then got extra excited when I explained all the things I liked about it.Thinking about buying one of the nicer Timex to add to my collection now.

First off, this is a Timex not a Rolex. I don't know what some people in the review section expect when they order a watch for less than $100. In this price range though you are getting decent quality. I have no complaints about the dial or face and the leather band has a nice thick higher end feeling to it. A definite step up from models such as The Weekender or Expedition (although I have no problems with those lines either, just saying for comparison sake.)The indiglo feature is unique to almost every Timex so the lume on the face is naturally going to be not as bright. Only complaint I have about indiglo is once it burns out, unless you absolutely love the watch and want to pay for the repair, it just isn't worth the cost and hassle. That said, I have only had one indiglo actually "burn out" on me and that was a Weekender that might have been 3-4 years old.At least the version I got does not have an audible "tick" so I don't know what various reviews are complaining about. I have heard this about other lines, but at least mine is quiet enough I can't hear it.Mine shipped in a presentation box that was definitely an upgrade over the retail packaging of other lines such as the Weekender. It was more like that of a Citizen or Seiko box, which was a nice addition if you are gifting.Finally, I got this on a substantial sale. At the full retail price, you are entering a price point for a Seiko or Citizen which I think is going to be of higher quality. But if you can catch it 20% or more, like the look, I would say go for it.

At this price point, I can’t imagine getting anything much nicer than this Timex Waterbury chronograph. It’s very easy to read, with the black dial and white hands. None of the negative reviews that I saw out there apply to this particular watch. Mostly they complained about the secondhand not aligning with the marks on the dial and difficulty reading the hands. Neither of these apply to the chronograph series. The sweep secondhand does not operate, like it does on a non-chronograph watch, it only comes to play when you are engaging the chronograph two time events. And some of the color combinations in the other models could possibly be difficult to see the hands against the face. But again, on this specific black face, white hand combination, it could not be easier to see the time at a glance. And the Indiglo feature is just a cherry on top.

The crystal is glass and very clear. The leather strap is very soft and comfortable.The only bad thing is that the day in a week can only be adjusted by rotating the hands for 24H to change a day.

Beautiful watch with functionality.

This watch looked really nice. However, the date didn't work on it. Also, the strap was very long. It's meant for someone with thick wrists. Item was returned.

Great watch 💯👍🏻

I look at timex with a great deal of nostalgia. As a kid it was the watch to have. Timex is probably the reason I love watches to this day. However having a lot of watches gives me an opportunity to compare this timex with other comparable priced watches and also more expensive watches. I thought, in buying a Waterbury Collection, I would be getting a watch with a little more attention to detail. What I got was a regular inexpensive Timex with The Waterbury printed on the face. Speaking of the face, I read reviews that said the face looks printed. Not only does it look printed, it doesn't look unlike paper. The case is nice, it appears well made and is polished well. The crown is tiny and borderline unusable, making setting the watch a challenge. The stap is made in India and I'm sure it is bonded leather, but is is soft and attractive. The box was nice, typical of a higher quality watch.In conclusion, this watch is currently selling for $89. It is essential an inexpensive imported watch that is labeled a timex. For that same $89 you can actually get a very nice imported watch from brands like Invicta. For a little more money, maybe $125, you can get a low end Seiko or even a Bulova. And for just a little more money and some good shopping you can get an actual swiss made watch like the Glycine I recently bought new for under $130. If you want a cheap watch buy a cheap watch, if you want a nice watch buy a nice watch, but this one is neither. It's costume jewelry.
