Great modest, minimalist digital watch: 2 time zones, Indiglo, subtle hourly chime
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Great value and this is nice, low-key but functional and sleek timepiece. I bought it to replace an older Ironman (bulkier) watch that finally reached end of life after LOTS of adventures (still functions, but strap and face just really couldn't be taken into corporate or social settings without expectation of some heckling). I REALLY like most of the new features (especially the dual time zones, hourly chime (can toggle on/off), and Indiglo applied to the numbers/text rather than as background), I probably would have switched to this earlier if I had known of them. Slight negative that the hourly chime toggle is nested within the time setting workflow, so can't just nearly instantly switch it when heading into movie/performance/other setting where want to silence it fully. I can't speak to the water resistance of this one yet, have been taking it off to shower and haven't been swimming yet. (Taking it off to shower in part because had seen other reviews noting that the trim around the dial may not be long-lasting. So out of caution to extend its appearance, I'll probably remove it for salt/chlorinated water swims (not timing laps)). Only other aspect should note is that the feature that helps to "lock" the strap band at end (bit of a nub to catch) is bit tricky when putting it on / taking it off, may be even more so for those with arthritis or other condition that would make it extra challenging/frustrating to maneuver and engage.
Quite happy with it overall though, just a slight annoyance when putting on / taking off (which may not apply for most if they just leave it on).
