I wanted to buy a little something for a friend whose only watch was digital. The T26461 was the blend I sought:
1. Accuracy. Hey, this is quartz.
2. Durability. It's a Timex, 'nuff said!
3. Nighttime readability. Indiglo!
4. Value. No one will mistake this for a luxury watch, but it's something that will last him a long time, and look decent enough with dress shirts.
Contrary to the description, the expansion bracelet is polished only on the gold tone. The rest is brushed and actually a bit dull. I buffed it a bit with my Dremel, polishing compound and cloth wheel, not to a enough to make it look classier. The bracelet is VERY SMALL, perfect for my thin friend's skeleton-like wrist, but I wonder if guys even of just average size will be too large for it.
Quartz watches ideally ship with the crown pulled out (which stops the movement), so that the battery will be as fresh as possible for the buyer. This Timex comes with a 10-year battery. Putting that in perspective, for what it costs to replace a different watch brand's battery every couple of years, you could spend almost as much as on this Timex.Buy Timex Men's Classic Two-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T26461!
