Review: Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking - I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy
Review: Excellent value, flawless performance for well over a year and no signs of quitting. - Excellent value, had this for well over a year and it still keeps perfect time, still water resistant. No worries about having to change batteries. Owned a fancy expensive (battery) watch once and the dept. store repair intentionally sabotaged the watch in the hopes I would purchase another from them. Yeah, good luck with that, lost my business forever. This is the 21st century, cell phones are the new time pieces, but solar is totally reliable and Timex makes it happen. Holds a charge for many months, although I prop it in a bright window for a few days every few months or so just to make sure the cells are always fully charged, although it's probably unnecessary, just being over cautious. I haven't actually experienced this watch ever running out of power even after months of use. Damn impressive, as it should be.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the bezel rotating?**
A: I saw this watch in a store.  The bezel does not rotate.

**Q: Does it have a night light or does it glow in the night?**
A: Hello Ricardo, thank you for your interest in our product! The watch you're interested in does not have the INDIGLO or light feature but it has luminescent watch hands.

**Q: A Timex watch with a Casio box? Odd.**
A: Apparently the pics weren't edited very well.  My watch did NOT arrive in a Casio box.  As a matter of fact it came in a pretty nondescript plastic box.

**Q: I want to change the band, what size do i need to get**
A: You've probably solved it by now, but you'll want a 22mm wide watch band.  I've had good luck with the 4 buckle Zulu band from Maratac/County Comm.
I wasn't even able to get the velcro through the plastic loop around my wrist, but I had a spare Zulu (22mm width, 12 inch length) and it works just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solar Charging does not work when wearing long sleeve shirts!
*by A***R on December 5, 2025*

I hate remembering to wind a watch and dislike having to replace batteries. I was thinking about buying an Echo-Drive watch but didn't like the price tag for those solar watches. So, when I saw a Timex solar watch that looks great, I jumped on it to try it out. Here are my thoughts (see video): PROS: 1) Looks great. 2) Since it is a quartz movement it keeps time really accurately. 3) The crystal is not the most scratch resistant, but it is inset below the case to help protect it from damage. 4) It is not super thick, so it does not grab on your shirt sleeve. 5) For a Solar powered watch, it is priced very well. Now you sacrifice a few things, but it is a lot of watch for the dollars. CONS: 1) If you live in a cold climate where you always wear long sleeves, the solar recharge is not going to work. About every 20 days I look at my watch and it is not on time. Then I have to spend a day without my watch leaving the watch under a bright light to recharge. So, I love the concept, but the reality is not living up to my expectations! 2) There is no low battery warning or way to track the amount of charge that is left. 3) The crown does not screw down. So, if it snags on clothing, you might accidently pull it out and get your date and time messed up. 4) I know nylon straps are popular, but I don't like them. They look tacky and the end starts to fray after a while making them look really tacky! A band option would be nice at purchase. 5) The glow in the dark hands is worthless. They do not put off enough light to tell the time in the dark. Even after being under a bright light for a while the hands glow fades super-fast. CONCLUSION: If you wear short sleeve shirts, or you are able to leave your watch at night under a light, this is a very good watch for the money. You don't get a sapphire crystal, a screw down crown, or a strap selection, but you get a solid performing time piece that looks great after you change the band. RATING SYSTEM: I review a lot of products because I know reading other people’s reviews is very helpful in selecting the right product. I saw a reviewer that gave a rating scale, and I thought, "that is useful". When one is reviewing from underwear to air compressors having a way to tell you why I rate is important. Here is my rating scale: 5 Stars: Excellent product, I highly recommend this product for anyone. 4 Stars: Good product, but there are some quality, functionality, or design issues, but will still work well. 3 Stars: Okay product, it will work for some people but not all people. It works but not great. 2 Stars: Is not very functional. It might work in a very specialized situation, but don't count on it. 1 Star: Trash. I can't see any useful purpose for the product.
