 Long time owner, great item!Jan 22, 2008
I bought this watch in December 2005 to use as a reliable but cheap timepiece during snowmobile tours in Yellowstone National Park. For two years, me and this watch experienced temeratures reaching -20 F plus... though average was probably 15 F. Still, it ran true. I even managed to wash it in my laundry, to no ill.
I'm now seeking a new watch, only because I cannot find a way to relplace the battery on this one. And I find myself unwilling to buy a different watch. It has treated me very well for its price, and so, I will buy the same watch for the same price. Thanks for the great all season product.

One of the best watches I ever had.Mar 17, 2008
By NB

This is a great watch. Very sturdy, and great for those who can't stand wearing the wrist band type watch. I've had mine for quite a few years and have only had to replace the battery one or two times. The rotating timepiece is great for switching it between belt and backpack positions.
About the only downside is that the locking pin holes (that keep the timepiece from freely swiveling) tend to get worn down, and about the weakest point on the watch is actially the joint for the carabiner clip, which finally broke on me after years of use.
other than that this is a good deal.
4.5 stars out of 5.

Good for the moneySep 27, 2004
By Benjamin J. Caracello
I just ordered another one of these. After a year and a half of abuse, what did my last one in was a seatbelt; the belt had worked its way halfway into the clip when I stood up. Anyway, my only problem with this item is the attatchment point for the spring part of the clip. It really should be metal, but for 20 bucks I'll buy another. I haven't seen another digital clip watch that isn't a kid's item.

Most durable and usable watch I've ever ownedMar 02, 2006
By Timothy Cook
I got one of these because I was tired of wristwatches, and it was the best watch I have ever owned. It's survived some very rough trips and the rigors of college life, and I abused it a LOT. After a year I managed to break the spring on the clip-on part due to clicking it too much, but the electronics far outlasted its replacements (it suffered a LOT of being dropped and thrown around). I only stopped using this watch a couple years later, when I lost it down an elevator shaft.
Unlike many other clip-on watches, this thing's buttons need to be pushed down somewhat hard and held down to change the time or the alarm settings, which I consider a lifesaver. It's also an unstoppable beast of a machine. When I finally replaced it with a different model, the other watches all kept getting reset and generally died within months; this one never suffered those problems.

Durable and practical; an excellent valueOct 22, 2009
By J. Gwen Ingram
I have always managed to really beat up wristwatches and finally solved that problem by keeping a watch in my pants pocket (a somewhat clumsy solution). I kept my eye out for a digital pocket watch until I found and bought my first of these Timex clip watches several years ago. Because the price allowed me to do so, I soon purchased a second one to solve the ongoing "argh, it's clipped to my other pants" problem. Both watches have been through the wash a couple of times (NOT on purpose) and resumed working when dried out. They've been smacked around a bit (not nearly as much as I used to smack around wristwatches!) and gave me no problems until last month when first one, then the other responded to a press on the backlight button with an odd whine and a blank display, which later spontaneously came back to life ... completely reset. Apparently this was the signal that both required new batteries -- two batteries, a tiny jeweler's screwdriver, a pair of reading glasses and less than 15 minutes each later, they are back to functioning normally, just like the day they were purchased. I have no idea what their ultimate lifespan is, and I am admittedly less rough on my "things" than some other people (though by no means am I easy on my watches). These Timex clip watches are an exceptional value, especially in a day and age when most affordable products are built to fail, or at least engineered with a finite lifespan (due to non-replaceable batteries and the like). Good for me, good for the planet in comparison to the many "disposable" watches out there ... two thumbs up!!!
