Beautiful Cool Watch and quite unique. I love it and I'm happy to have it, but unfortunately I can't give him the all 5 stars because the temperture indicator is comlitly not precise - The hand body heat influence it in about 6-8 celsius degrees!


The watch i recieved from Chelsea watch co. came in very quickly and on time. i am very happy with the watch and the price was very fair, overall i am very please with the watch and the service. i would recommend calling timex and getting the extended warranty (5 yrs.) it's only about five dollars. The only thing negative is i the iniglo feature isnt as bright as i expected but overall it a great watch.


I needed a new watch, I climb, sail and sea kayak, and the style appealed to me as did the functions. The purchase price from the USA was 50% of the cheapest UK price. So far so good.
It arrived transatlantic in three days costing a further pricy premium of UKP20 for P/P.
In reality it is a big chunky watch - bigger than web illustrations suggest. The face lettering and numbers are very small and even with the good back light will be hard to read accurately in poor expedition weather with deck wash/ splash. The luminous hands and hollow compass/ tide needle are so similar, they can be easily confused, especially in poor/ wet weather, and this needs a colour revision from Timex.
Calibration of functions are straightforward and accurate, but take some time, but this is reasonable.
The tide feature is particularly useful for sea kayaking and sailing the skerries of the west coast of Scotland where keel draught vs tide is often of crucial importance.
The compass with declination adjustment must be reset for each significantly new location. The compass needle defaults to the tide setting after 20secs to save the battery, and understandable as this is, its a nuisance. The bezel moves easily unlike my Suunto. The Suunto altitude/ barometer watch defaults after a full minute. So accurate navigation using the compass feature in low visibility is not effectively possible. The compass is therefor a feature for occasionally checking good visibility headings and back bearings. It does not do away with a conventional compass. Most sea kayakers would have a deck compass or GPS, and would not decuff their waterproof layer and stop paddling to use this watch with its 20 secs default. The main knurled adjuster bites the back of my hand when paddling unless using offset paddle handles. Altering the metal links of the wrist band to wear inside or outside a glove is strictly an indoors and irritating procedure. The temperature feature in pragmatic terms is a gimmick unless the watch is removed from the wrist for 5 minutes.
In summary- I like the watch for its handsome chunky appearance, and especially at the USA purchase price. But its not a true expedition instrument, but remains fairly unique for its tide function which is really handy in judging flat tide, ebb and flow and engaging favourable currents and eddies. For this and its appearance it has pleased me.


I work outdoors and by the seaside, so I thought this watch might serve my needs. I've only had it for a day, but am very pleased. To get the full benefit of what it can do, you'll have to read the instructions and calibrate it correclty, but it's worth the time. The compass and tide readings are very handy; the temperature reading is a bit silly, seeing as it will be effected by your body temp (as stated in the instructions). Timex answer to this is to "take the watch off and place it in a shady spot for several minutes to get a true reading". In that time i could justfind out from another source if I need to know that badly. Still, a good looking, well made watch. Large face, Indiglo feature for night time readings, clear date which is easily corrected for odd months. Also fit my large wrist comfortably; many men's watches are snug on me.


The watch was everything I hoped for. My only complaint was that when I opened the box it was shipped in (which was in perfect condition), the box for the watch looked like it was run over by a car.
