This watch would be perfect if it weren't for the band. I asked for this for a birthday gift from my parents, thinking that the band was a fabric type, velcro, all the way around. I hate plastic bands because they sweat and hurt my wrists. WEll, this is fabric only half of the way around, the other half is plastic on the inside. And to make it worse, the top portion where the band loops through rubs terribly on the wrist bone. It looks nice but sits too high on the wrist unless you overtighten it. BUt it doesn't fit right at all. Rather than send it back, which is what I should've done, I tried to alter the band since you can't replace it. It is connected to the watch itself on the bottom. Well, that didn't work out too well. So I either will attach it to my shoe or just have to get another watch. I am so disappointed with this. The watch itself is great but I wonder, did Timex even try this on woman's wrists? This thing is so uncomfortable. Just FYI, I have medium size women's wrist. Not tiny and not large so this should have fit if this was made right. THis is the most uncomfortable watch I have ever tried to wear. The watch itself has great features and works great. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars.
