Excellent watch. I've owned expensive watches (Cartier), mid-priced ones (Seiko, Casio), and Timex (Easy set alarm Expeditions which I've been wearing for about ten years, ironman for training) and this is right in the sweet spot.
Build quality is Swiss-like. In fact you could easily find something like this in Geneva for 5-10x the price.
Features: Perpetual calender is seriously cool. Although I've kept to the alarm watches for years, changing the calender month to month is a hassle. On balance, having an analog face on a perpetual calender is a truly nice feature. The black face with white Arial numerals is a bit conservative, but this is offset by the watch's slightly larger size. I have a pretty average/narrow wrist and its large the way a modern watch should be, without being bulky. The backlighting feature is vintage timex. The watch came set to EST.
Overall impression: Timex has come of age. They make this 90.00 wristpiece look and feel like the real deal. Are you picky about what you wear on your wrist but can't afford/don't want a watch that costs hundreds of dollars? Buy this model.
