Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $19.95

Amazon Price: $12.00

This elegant timepiece utilizes digital-quarts movement to accurately tell time. It uses this technology to power features such as its 24 hour chronograph, daily alarm, and calendars. The Timex Womens 1440 then shows them to the user through its easy to read digital gray dial face that uses the Indiglo Night to illuminate your view during dark situations.

These wonderful features are attached to your wrist in an amazing package of a gray face plate, a pink and silver resin band, a polyurethane strap with a tapered profile, and a buckle clasp.

Aside from the beautiful design, the Timex Womens 1440 Sports digital resin strap watch is as durable as they come. It is made from an acrylic dial window, stationary resin bezel, and 35-millimeter resin case. The Timex 1140 is even water resistant up to 165 feet.

1 Star Decent looking, but poor quality
I was initially pleased with my Timex 1440 watch when I received it two months ago. Even though the button operations are different from and more limited than other Timex watches I’ve owned, it had the features I wanted (namely and alarm and stopwatch) and it wasn’t too hard to use once I got used to it.

However, after two months of daily use the watch stopped working. It is stuck at 7:20 p.m. and does not respond to any button pushes. I never immersed the watch and I didn’t do anything more than your average day to day living while wearing the watch. I looked up the warranty information for the watch and found that it would cost $7.00 to get the watch repaired or replaced – almost half the cost of the watch! At this point I’m not sure if I’d be throwing good money after bad by trying to get it repaired/replaced or if I should just give up and buy something else.

I would not suggest buying this watch – while it is an attractive price, decent looking, and functional, it just doesn’t seem to last. And while there is a warranty, paying half again the price of the watch to get it repaired/replaced seems like a pretty raw deal.

5 Stars Good, dependable watch for everyday use
Great watch for a great price. I wear it to work everyday and love it.

5 Stars Great watch
I really like these watches. I also own the white and pink one. They are sporty but classy enough to wear in every day attire. I just got this one after my white one was becoming a little dingy from running, biking, and swimming in it for almost a year. I like them so much I wouldn’t mind having all of the colors. Extremely easy to program with a lot of cool settings. Great womens/girls watch!

3 Stars Normal digital watch
I purchased this to have something for running and to do outdoor activities with, since my Gucci watch is not at all appropriate! I was expecting a standard digital watch which is what I got. A little on the flimsy side I guess, but it was very inexpensive. Setting the time was a little tricky for some reason, even when following the instructions. I haven’t used the stopwatch feature on it yet. I would say that if you have very small wrists you may need to punch another hole in the band. I have mine on the smallest hole and although I have small-ish wrists, I’m not petite by any means.

4 Stars good watch
Pretty much what I expected, having owned Timex sports watches before. Clear display, 24-hour clock option (though I couldn’t find it until it WAS afternoon). Light and time display size are large enough that I can see the time without my glasses. Instructions are clear and operation is fairly intuitive without them.

Grey band is a nice neutral. The only real downside: the plastic is hot, which doesn’t help during exercise. I find myself removing the watch from my wrist sometimes. And it’s a special band so I can’t even replace it.

3 Stars Bargain Watch – Not Unisex
This Timex watch is a real bargain, but it does have a very large works, which is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Clearly, this is too large for a smaller wrist, and accordingly not truly unisex.

The watch itself was easy to set up and has a large readable display. However, the function buttons are labeled in red against a gray background and are difficult to read. The start/stop, indiglo, mode, and set buttons are in the same locations on the dial as my previous Timex Ironman watch, so the functions were familiar to me.

Bottom line – If you have a large wrist, prefer a large display, and are short on cash, I recommend this watch. Otherwise, get the Timex Ironman.

1 Star Poor Choice
This watch is too bulky and big to wear. The price makes it look tempting but it swallowed my wrist. The size is more like a guy’s wrist watch. Would never buy again. It’s huge!!

1 Star Why would anyone buy based on those pictures?
If you click to look at the pictures, they’re all complaining about it, and the cracked band, etc… ? why would anyone buy this with all of those horrible pictures there that show how awful it is?

3 Stars stylish with great functionality but not durable.
I’ve gone through two of these watches in 3 years (the fact that I bought the same one shows how much I do like them). But I think it is time to move on. I wore this watch 24/7. With the first watch, the silver paint wore off almost as soon as I took it swimming in saltwater. But I didn’t give up on it until the strap broke about a year later. I went back to Target and this was still the watch I liked most. I use it as an alarm clock when I travel, and even as a timer on occasion. So I bought another one, thinking that maybe Timex had fixed the issue with the peeling paint. But a year and a half later I’m in the same situation: the paint has partly worn off in saltwater and the strap broke.

5 Stars Good women’s running watch
This watch is small enough to be comfortable on my wrist. It has the functions I need and more.

5 Stars Ironman win’s the race!
I am very pleased with this watch. It is easy to use and the digits are easy to read, even whe running. Great features like the chrono and timer. I haven’t used the alarm yet, and may never use it but it is nice to have. I love the color too!

4 Stars Timex Watch
This is a great running watch. It takes a little while to set everything but once you get the hang of it, it is fantastic. It is really light weight. I actually forget I am wearing it.

4 Stars Timex Unisex Ironman #T5K018
I bought this watch to help me train for my first half-marathon. Has all the standard features we’re used to with digital watches, time, date, chrono w/split times, etc. You can also program occasions like birthdays, meetings, and anniversaries so you don’t forget to stop and buy flowers during your run. The feature I use the most on this watch is the countdown timer. BEWARE!! I’m about 5’10″ and 160lbs and have small wrists which prompted me to go for the unisex model; however, the watch case is more a ladies or teen size. I only wear it for running so it doesn’t bother me too much, but my buddies would have a good time of it if I wore this out to the bar.

5 Stars practical watch
This watch is great for running and easy to use. It’s perfect for a woman’s wrist, as it has a thin band and is grayish purple in color.

5 Stars Great kids/teen watch
Good quality & functions for all the things my 7, 12, & 13 year olds wanted it for. Fun colors too!

1 Star Nice look, bad watch
I bought this watch cause i really liked the look of it and the color and the reviews for it were mostly good. I also needed a watch that was waterproof so that I didn’t need to take it off every time i went near water. One small thing that i found annoying was that when setting the time or alarm or anything, you couldn’t go down so if you go one minute too high you have to go ALL the way back around. One more thing is that on the timer, you have to reset it every time that you use it. For example, if I set 5 minutes on it, and then pressed start, once it gets down to 0, and I want to use it again I have to reset the whole thing. There was one giant problem with the watch for me. On here it said that it was waterproof. The very first time that it got wet for me it fogged up inside, and I couldn’t read the numbers as easily. About a week later, water droplets started getting in my watch. Then all of the numbers disappeared and now its blank. If you ask me, you can find a watch a LOT better than this. It may not look as cool, but this one didn’t work at all for me. I had it for less than a month.

3 Stars Functional but…
Nice looks, but very unintuitive menus to change date and alarm etc. buttons very hard to press..leaves painful dents in your skin that feel sore for 10 minutes after..you get only what you pay for.

3 Stars Good basic sports watch; difficult-to-push buttons
Pro’s for this watch: good basic sports watch, price is right

Con for this watch: the control buttons are very difficult to push (and I don’t have arthritis!) when you want to set time and date, use the timer, set the alarm, etc.

5 Stars Exactly what I wanted
Easy to use, ideal features, and exactly what I had come looking for (and then some). I needed a new sports watch, mainly for use with exercising, but also for everyday wear. So far, so great!

2 Stars From new to green in less than 3 weeks!
While the watch functions fine, and has all the features plus more that I’ve always had (I’ve worn a Timex Ironman woman’s watch for about 10 years now)…this band turned GREEN (it was light & navy blue) within a few weeks and has only gotten worse. It’s definitely not worth $40.

5 Stars Great Sports Watch
I really like this watch as I have smaller wrists it’s a good size, not big and bulky but not tiny either. Colors are true to picture and quality is what I expect from a Timex.

4 Stars Great watch!
I know own 3 of these watches. Great watch, I didnt like the pink, very faded/ power pink color. the black and blue are great colors. Watch works great. A great gift!

5 Stars Great watch!
Great watch and very stylish. I get so many comments on it all of the time.

4 Stars Simple, good looking, inexpensive, casual watch
The title kinda says it. The watch looks like its picture, fits well on my wife’s slender wrist, and tells the time clearly.

2 Stars Look for a better cheap watch
I liked the watch as a cheap, practical sports watch with a decent alarm function. Setting the alarm wasn’t intuitive, and it was easy to accidentally activate the stopwatch, etc. But I would have lived with that for the price, because all I *really* wanted was a watch and a daily alarm reminder.

But the strap broke suddenly (with no trauma–just fell off one day) after only a couple of months of light wear. Or more accurately, the plastic notch that holds the strap on broke, which means you can’t fix it. And of course I didn’t bother to keep the packaging for a $15 watch.

I’m not being a price snob–I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $30 on a watch, but I do expect them to hang in there for at least a year. So I’m back to my old (alarmless, alas) metal watch from Target that I’ve had for 5 years. No more plastic for me.

5 Stars Comfy watch
I bought this watch a few years after giving away my Timex Ironman (to someone who needed it more than I did), trying to find one I liked as well, and I have to say this one fits the bill. It’s very comfortably sized, the band doesn’t pinch, and best of all, it’s proven itself to be very watertight, and has suffered no damage from being worn while bathing two small children.

5 Stars don’t spend a nickle
I purchased this inexpensive watch for a trip to Hawaii and a lot of snorkeling. A total waste of money. Went on the fritz the first day of being in and out of the water. Ended up in the garbage can at our rental.

3 Stars ok, but should’ve gotten an Ironman
For some reason, I assumed the sports watch would have a countdown timer, but it doesn’t. I’m not a huge fan of the timer/alarm controls, so only use this watch to keep basic time. My ironman was great – I’ll probably get one of those soon.

4 Stars Almost Perfect, Excellent watch for price
Great Watch:

1.Easy to read (Date and time)

2.Durable

3.Nice multiple functions

Cons:

1.Annoying Beep to switch functions (Timex, why cant we have option to turn off?)

2.Day is too small (Timex should have made only current day show, not all seven and highlight current day, small to read)

Great watch for the Price

Update:

I have moved this watch to be a shower watch. Is stationed on the rack. Unconfortable, on the wrist.

I purchased a more expensive Timex Flix Ironman, mainly because I could not read the day. The comfort of the new watch is wonderful, spend the extra money if you can.

5 Stars Good cheap watch
Bought this watch for running. I don’t need a fancy GPS or Heart Monitor watch, but something with an alarm and stopwatch. So far this has worked great. Durable (got it wet a few times) and comfortable for running. Exactly what I needed and the price was really good. I recommend it.

4 Stars perfect for price
Its a great watch for the price, it fits well and is pretty small on your wrist, the buttons dont always go the first time you press them but its not really a big deal. overall i would recomend the watch for a simple work out watch and it can be used as a casual watch as well. cant lose for the price!

4 Stars Good watch for the price
I bought this watch strictly for the countdown timer, which I believe are increasingly hard to find. The watch is very inexpensive, but it is well worth the money. It is easy to operate and the dial light is just right. It is tough and also very suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
