After years of keeping track of time using a number of timex cheapo digital watches, i started a search for a nicer analog watch. one of the benefits of digital watches is their features; lighting and alarm being among them. Its difficult finding an analog watch with those features.One of the negatives of timex watches is their lack of identification. i have recently collected 6 timex analog watches, none of which has any markings as to model number. The model under discussion is T45951. The only ID markings on my watch is "922 PP." Go figure.
This watch comes with an instruction sheet that was printed for a previously available model upon which this model is based. This model, I believe no longer available, is heavier with a rounded crystal, an integral metal band and identical features. The current model has a larger face and is easier to read. It would have been appropriate for Timex to print an instruction sheet specifically for the current model.
Although we are discussing the T45951, I would like to point out that there are similar models available with identical styling/features, but in two other colors. Our model has an ivory field with black markings which I find most legible and esthetically appealing. There is also a model available with a black field and white markings, and also one with a blue field and white markings with an integral stainless band.
As is the case in all similar Timex chronographs, the upper/right sub dial measures .1 of a second. I find this useless and would prefer a dial measuring 6 or 12 total elapsed hours.
The dial alarm setting is unique to Timex watches and is the best feature of the watch. It is easy to set, and very accurate. The same can be said of the Indiglo illumination system. The alarm and Indiglo are two important features that are not easily found in other watches no matter how expensive. Also, the legibility of the watch face is excellent. The watch has a setting feature that allows one to set the hours without having to scroll through minutes. This is also a help in manually advancing past 31 (or 30) when the month has less days.
I have had this watch for two months, purchased from Amazon, and it has become my everyday timepeice. The only change I have made to it Is replacing the supplied leather band. All in all the best watch for the money with superior features and very attractiving styling. Change the 1/10 th of a minute sub dial to one that counts elapsed hours and I would rate it near perfect.
