Timex Women's 1440 Sports Watch, Grey Resin Strap 3.3 5 5 6
Initial good start took a turn for the bad Pros: Cheap. Has a light (which I love).Cons: Cheap. Not water resistant. Wrong manual (tricky to set watch without).I needed an inexpensive watch for work and having had a Timex watch many years ago, I bought this model.Out of the box, I realized the manual included was for a different Timex model than 1440. It took a little fidgeting to get set the watch, it is not as intuitive as one would think. Fast forward 1 month I started to notice water condensation inside the watch, significantly obstructing the time. Now, let me remind you that this watch is water resistant. I do not submerge the watch in water (ex. swimming) but I occasionally take showers with it on.Contacted Timex who wanted me to send the watch in as well as $7.00 repair fees.So let's recap:1. Bought watch for $15.002. 1 month later, water condensation within water resistant watch.3. Timex wants $7.00 to fix. 07/28/2009
Great watch, not the color in the pic I love all of Timex's sports watches. This one works great and fits well. The Wal-Mart price is excellent. The band appears to be white in the picture but it is grey. I read the description over and over to see if it ever said what color the band was before buying and unless I'm just missing it, I didn't find a color listed so I was hoping it was white like the picture. Oh well... I like the grey fine, just wished it was white. 02/26/2009
Great, until the band breaks I was very happy with this watch, until the wristband broke. It was only about nine months after I bought it, and I had my receipt (a miracle), so I was able to exchange it for another one. The same thing happened to the replacement. After about eight months this time, the band broke in the same place, where the band meets the watch. There is just a flaw in the way the band is attached to the watch. I wasn't very happy with the response I received from Timex, either. They said that I could send the watch to them, at my expense, and they would repair or replace it IF they determined that it was a defect. So I would be without my watch until they figured it out and if they decided it wasn't their fault, I would be without it anyways. No thanks. So much for "it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'." Well, I guess technically the watch was still tickin', but a lot of good it did me, I couldn't wear it anymore! 09/22/2011
Helpful Tip My daughter purchased the lime green model with her birthday money. Unfortunately, the instruction sheet ended up in the watch. When she asked me to help change setting back from military to regular time, I went looking for the manual. The one listed on Timex under the Sports 1440 did not match. However, when looking under the 504- series, I did find the following one which is close, just calls the set button "Adjust":http://assets.timex.com/user_guides/W163_M504/W163_M504_NA_EN.pdfNo other issues to report of just yet, but then again, it was under $20 and she hasn't had it long. 10/29/2010
