Review of Timex Men's Classic Alarm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch #T19281

I have to agree with the person who previously reviewed this watch; I, too, purchased this model because of its range of features and cheap price. The Turn-n-pull alarm is a wonderful feature; but if you're setting the alarm for an event that is 3+ hours away, the manual turning begins to get really tedious. The Indiglo light is bright enough, but this will probably be the last watch I buy with the analog date window; I'm tired of manually compensating for changes in the month. The Turn-n-pull aspect of the alarm made me more aware of the turning I have to do to change the date.Here's the pitiful stuff: 3 months after I bought the watch, I inadvertently hit my wrist, and the watch, up against a door frame, about as hard as if you were knocking on a door. The rotating ring of the watch separated from the face of the watch. The hit was hardly enough to do that type of damage to a medium-quality watch, but I was able to snap the ring back on and start living again. 6 months after that, I attempted to set the Turn-n-pull alarm on my watch only to find that the Turn-n-pull knob was gone. I found it on the floor. I have no idea how it became separated from the body of the watch, and I stopped caring five minutes after it happened. I went to my $20 backup watched and moved on. The bottom line; the looks and features are great, I really did like that about the watch, but the quality is suspect. If you buy this watch, make sure you have a backup watch.
