User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Nice watch. Timer is it’s weakness.
As the title indicates. A watch timer, especially one labeled as a Sports watch, should not have to be set every time it’s used. No complaints on anything else and it is very presentable.
2 Stars poor band quality
the watch was fine, no problems, but the bracket that holds the band broke so it couldn’t be fixed
3 Stars Decent, but has some big drawbacks
The watch is fine, except for one major problem – the buttons stick out so much that they are always getting pressed accidentally when I put on/take off my bookbag or if my wrist comes into contact with a hard surface! Which means that for every 3 out of 4 times I look at the watch, it is displaying the wrong mode – i.e. the stopwatch, or – even worse – the alarm mode (which confuses me because it looks just like the normal mode). So I need to think for a few seconds whether the numbers I’m looking at make sense, often to realize that I need to press the “mode” button a few times to cycle through until I get back to the normal clock mode. Really annoying.
Also, the first one I bought must’ve been a lemon, because within a week, one button had fallen off and the second counter had become unreadable! I returned it and got a new one, which has no problems, except for what I mentioned above.
4 Stars Good basic watch for men
I don’t like to spend a lot on watches, since my husband goes through so many. This has all the basic functions he needs & is sturdy & neat-looking. As far as I could tell, comparable items in stores were more expensive, so I bought on Amazon, which provided a better value.
1 Star Not water-resistant at 30 feet, much less 50 meters!
Picked up this watch at the last minute before a sailing/ snorkeling/ scuba trip since my usual Timex Ironman had just died, and the price for the 1440 was only 1/2 to 1/3 that of the Ironman I usually buy. While this watch was only rated water-resistant to 50 meters/ 165 feet (unlike the 100+ meters for the Ironman) I didn’t expect it to be an issue since as a recreational diver I never dive that deep.
However, I got what I paid for – the 1440 couldn’t even handle a half hour in shallow (< 30 foot) water on my first dive – and what’s even worse, it was a dive that ended up being more snorkeling than diving; by the time I was back on the boat the face was so badly fogged that it was impossible to read the watch, and it hasn’t cleared to any significant degree in the days since.
The watch is getting returned.
