"the best watch i have ever had"

this watch, is a heaven sent. honestly don't know how i ever got along with out it.
it's better than a secretary/ assistant at reminding me of appointments, keeping me on time ( the time reminder , with scrolling text feature, is really helpful in reminding me what its reminding me about.) helping me track how long till my laundry finishes. track my pool laps. keep handy phone numbers with me. Wake me up daily ( daily alarm, or by weekday. It's also water proof, in case you forget to take it of in the shower, or the pool.
the best part i fin is that i am not attached to using it solely while I'm around a computer, i can input the appointments in my self, by using the dial on the side of the watch. Although i do love using the computer, but not always able to get around it. Its great when someone mentions something on the spot they would like to do (get together).
the only thing about it, is there is not much choice about the arm band, they only produce it in two colors. neither one of them pretty. I think the utility of this device outweighs the lack of fashion statement. Besides you can always color it with nail polish, or something else that might stay permanently on.
do yourself a favor a buy this watch. it will be a life saver.

The USB attachment for the watch does not connect to the watch. It is too small. However the watch is OK.
"Fantastic Watch/PDA, Mediocre Band"

This watch is as fantastic an organizational assistant as other people have claimed.
However, for people with small wrists the rubber band may not fit well. I purchased a Timex Expedition black Velcro band 16-20mm as a replacement. It fits on my wrist extremely well and is visually a perfect match for the watch. If you want the watch but are concerned about the rubber wrist band, buy the watch and then buy the velcro band (available at some sport watch retailers) if you find you need it.
Otherwise, again, an outstanding watch.
"A very useful watch"

I have had one of these watches for over three years, and it has been working great for me for all that time. It had finally started to get get sensitive to bumping the buttons, and the plastic was peeling, so I looked around and finally found one on Amazon.com. I believe they are a discontinued item, but if you need to have multiple alarms for medications and such, or work out and need timers and multiple lap counters, or just need a place to keep notes and appointments, this watch is just what you need.
On my first one, I had a problem with watch telling me that the battery needed replacing after less than a year, and after I replaced it, and it lasted three months, I looked online for a reason, and found out that there was a fix for it by downloading an update from the website. I did that and it never asked for another battery for two years.
Not sure if it will work with Vista or Windows 7 but it works well with mu XP
"Data Link replacement"

I already have an older Timex Data Link watch that I purchased in 1997 that still works fine. The original worked by transfering data through a flashing analog monitor and it does not work with the newer LCD monitors. I had been thinking of replacing it with another because I was tired of bringing out the old computer just to update the information in my watch. When I saw that Amazon has the newer USB Data Links for only $5 more than what paid for mine in 1997 I decided it is now time to buy one. Even in these days of PDAs and PDA cell phones, if you wear a watch this one is still worth having. It's convenient having Phone numbers, other contact information and other downloadable information with you at all times without having to lug an expensive PDA around. The alarms, stop watch and countdown timers very useful and I find myself using them almost daily. The USB Data Link has more features than the older models and as Im getting adjusted to this newer model, I find that I am using these features more often. I'm surprised that these watches aren't more popular. Originaly, since the price was higher than an average watch and the technology was new it was hard to justify the extra cost. Now that the price is in line with watches without features, maybe Timex should now try to market these more.
