Too Big for a Sports Watch
The style & look was exactly what I was looking for but it just isn't a practical watch given it's target market.
Advertised as "Sport Luxury", however it is quite a chunky & heavy watch which makes it completely impractical when you are participating in most sporting activities as you have this heavy, bulky watch clanking around your wrist.
Setting the date is awkward, not good considering it does not have a perpetual calendar, but given how small the text for date is on the watch face it's not so important as it's so hard to read.
Accuracy wasn't that great, the watch lost around 10 seconds every day.
I managed to damage the strap during a game of squash, something which I would have hoped that the watch would cope with given that it's supposed to be a "Luxury Sports Watch". It would appear that it is all but impossible to find a replacement band for this watch and Timex themselves are unresponsive.
