I already own the Timex Ironman ‘Triathlon’ GPS watch which I use for running. I wanted an inexpensive, but attractive, digital with a bit larger time display for casual wear – the time display on the Ironman is only about 2/3 the size of the 1440′s. Setup was easy (normal display items plus daily alarm, 24-hour display and ‘other’ time zone); display size (the time, at any rate) is quite adequate; the watch is attractive. All the buttons worked fine for me . . . The only complaint I have is that the ‘date’ (day of month) display is easily partly obscured by any shadow cast by the high edge of the 1440 logo ledge at the top of the display. Also, the diameter of the face, at about 26mm, seems a tad small. However, this really is nit picking. The 1440 is a decent, attractive, ‘name’ digital at an unbeatable price!

Straight Forward Sports Watch, April 1, 2008

Watch just arrived. It is a simple straight forward sports watch. Still like Timex for their Indiglo feature. It is one of the industry’s best affordable timepiece illumination. The only downside to this watch is personal preference. I do not care much for the date feature. I would like it much more if they stayed with the Ironman style with the simple 2 letter readout (SU, MO, TU, WE, etc…) instead of the black dot. Looks like a work horse for years to come. Have always owned an Ironman and stuck with it but decided to see if quality was across the board. I feels like a nice sturdy piece and may replace my Ironman (temporarily) as it is about to retire.

A good inexpensive watch with straight forward easy to read display. Indiglo, a must have…

Excellent Christmas Gift, January 4, 2011

I recently purchased this watch for my 12yrs. old son. Since opening it on Christmas morning he has not parted with it. He loves the luminated feature as well as the bold numbers. I would recommend this for any one. Apart from the mentioned features the Resin strap is a plus as it is very durable. A total value for money.
