Soft Crystal!, February 26, 2012
By
A. E. Smith "Fatal Ace" (West Coast, USA)
I write very few reviews and really only do so when I am pleasently
surprised by a product, or, as in this case, I am sadly disappointed. I
purchased this watch just to wear around the house as an inexpensive
timepiece. I wanted a watch with a fairly large display, an alarm and
good night lighting. The first thing I noticed when the watch arrived
was that it, and its band, are both very light weight and feel kind of
"cheap". I wasn't concerned about that since it was just meant to be an
informal, knock-around watch. I adjusted the band, set the time, date,
etc., which were all very straight-forward standard digital watch type
tasks. The watch looks fairly nice, does have a decent sized display
and the indiglo system is simply the best night-lighting system out
there.
Now for the bad news, the first issue is that the display
has a kind of "shadow" that obscures the upper 1/2 inch or so of the
display unless you are viewing it in direct light or with the indiglo
system. For me, that means I keep having to move the watch around so
the light will hit it right in order to read the day/date function.
Okay, more of an annoyance then a big deal and for the price I could let
that slide. Unfortunately, I bumped (and I do mean lightly "bumped")
the watch against a door frame when carrying some laundry into our
bedroom. I didn't think much of it until I looked down to see a large
abrasion across the face of the crystal. I thought it was just a smudge
and wiped the face of the watch down with a soft cloth, only to find
the abrasion was actually gouged into the face of the crystal! I could
literally feel the abrasion with my finger as I ran it across the face
of the watch. This resulted from a light bump against a soft-wood door
frame on the first day of ownership! Far more then a mere scratch, this
looks like a big abrasion similar to what road-rash looks like on skin.
The "abrasion" is right across the middle of the watch face and badly
distorts the time display, making it difficult to read. Bottom-line, my
two day-old watch now looks worse than my 25 yr-old $10 Casio that it
was meant to replace.
So beware! The crystal on this watch is
ridiculously soft and is likely to become scratched or abraded quite
easily, not something you would want in a basic utility watch. Come-on
Timex, I can forgive the cheap band, I can forgive the less than perfect
display, but sheesh - raise the price of the watch a buck or so and
provide it with a crystal that will at least stand up to the day to day
bumps and bruises a man's watch is going to face!

Really good, February 1, 2012
By
M. Heck (San Antonio, TX)
I'm fairly hard on watches - bumping/banging them, scratch crystals, getting chemicals on them, etc.
My last one lasted 7 years - without a battery change.
I ordered two of these.

Timex Train Wreck, January 22, 2012
By
Patrick J. Tormey (Scarsdale, NY, US)
Timex should be ashamed of themselves. Here they sell you a watch that
literally falls from your wrist because the metal band comes apart.
The watch is GREAT...the band sucks.

Still a pretty nice watch! Timeless, you might say..., January 9, 2012
By
K. Dommer (NW Indiana USA)
I originally bought this same watch model years ago. I don't remember
exactly how long ago, but it was probably at least 7 or 8 years ago,
possibly more.
I always wear a watch (even to bed) and my
original Atlantis 100 saw a lot of use. While much of the printing on
it was gone from the face area (no "Atlantis" to be found) and some of
the silver paint was wearing from the watch body, the rest of the watch
held up very well: The band, the 'window', etc.
I've owned many
watches throughout my life and this has been one of my favorite. The
old one kept very excellent time. We have clocks where I work that get
synced often and I don't think I ever had to adjust the time on my
watch, right down to the second. It's sad, but I notice this kind of
stuff! I was always pleased to see how accurate it was.
When
looking to replace it (only because the battery was starting to get weak
causing the Indiglo backlight to be a bit dim), I decided to go with
what I know and get the same watch after stumbling on it on Amazon.
After that many years of service... like many others, it just seems
silly to replace the battery when it is starting to show wear anyway.
Appearance
wise, I would say it is nearly identical to the old watch. The band is
slightly different but not in any way that affects the quality at all.
However,
I have noticed one relatively minor thing within seconds of removing it
from the box: While the overall viewing angle of the watch is not bad,
it is not as good as the old one. I can still see it fine, but
depending on the angle my wrist happens to be at in relation to my eyes,
sometimes the display is a little bit dimmer than it could be. Of
course this is easily remedied by angling the watch a fraction away from
my eyes. But the old one did not exhibit this behavior at all. Again,
no big deal but I figured I'd mention it.
Overall I'd still
recommend this watch! I'm a bit picky when it comes to time accuracy
and I hope that this one is as good as the old version. Only time will
tell*.
* My apologies for the incredibly bad pun.
Update
3/8/12: Having had this watch for about 3 months now, I've concluded
that it doesn't keep time as accurately as my older version of this same
watch. As mentioned above in my original review, we have clocks at
work that I know are accurate and I've had to adjust this watch several
times now and never (ever) had to adjust the time on my old watch other
than for DST. As I type this, it is 25 seconds behind and I last
adjusted it a few weeks ago. As also mentioned above, I am picky when
it comes to watch accuracy but I am also reasonable. Most people
probably don't care or wouldn't notice if it is losing 25 or so seconds a
month. For that reason I will leave it at my original 4-star rating
even though I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't retain time as
perfectly as my old watch, which was essentially identical. Not a
deal-breaker but when this one starts dimming due to a low battery
(hopefully in another 7 or 8 years!) I may look for something different
even if this model is still around.

Good Watch, December 31, 2011

I haven't had a problem with the watch since I bought it. Everything

Not very pleased...., December 26, 2011
I ordered this watch as a Christmas present for my grandson, and it
wasn't too successful. He loved the watch, but the band doesn't work
properly. When he puts it on, the final section of the watch band won't
lock into place. I'll take it to a local watch shop to see what it will
cost to correct it, but this experience has taught me that buying
something sight-unseen probably isn't the best way to go....

substandard, December 7, 2011
I thought I was replacing my Timex with, I thought, the same model that
was lost. The band was so flimsy that the pins would slid out of the
watch. the watch itself appeared to be the same as previous owned.

An Affordable, Solid Watch With One Drawback, December 1, 2011
This watch is affordable and has a long battery life. It has good
features, a nice display and is easy to use and set the time for - in
either 12 or 24 hour time. It also has a stop watch function and can
display two times, so you can switch between time zones if you want (or
between normal and daylight savings time). This Timex is generally
reliable and durable...
...except for the band, which is made of
metal and really fragile rubber bits that have the unfortunate tendency
to dry up and crack apart, leaving your watch unable to interface
successfully with your wrist. Mine actually broke after about two
months - I went and bought another band for this and now it serves me
perfectly. My recommendation if you want a good solid watch is to buy
this and get a cheap nylon cloth band along with it for when the
original inevitably breaks.

Atlantis T77517 is great, October 25, 2011
This will be the third Atlantis T77517 that I have owned. Great watch.
The buttons work well and I can time-up or down with the counters. I
love the price. I am in building/construction maintenance and these
have been wonderful in enduring the beating they get. When the battery
gives out, I buy a new one since the watch by this time looks beat-up,
but it was still running until the battery gave out. I highly recommend
this watch. I like the T77517 over the model with the vinyl strap.
The T77517 has a stainless ribbed band that breathes. Vinyl bands give
me a rash from when I sweat. I believe you won't be disappointed in
this waterproof rugged watch.

Long Time Favorite, October 18, 2011
This watch exactly matches one which I have worn every day for the past
many years. The old one still works but is quite beat up. The
stainless steel band is a lot more convenient than a plastic strap and
buckle. The metal band does not irritate my wrist as a plastic one
would. Very pleased to find this replacement.

By
L. Fontanella (New Jersey)
This is my 3rd Timex,.....always reliable,...one problem, don't like the

Atlantis Time, July 29, 2011
I like this very nice watch, looks good, keeps excellent time, and fits

Decent enough watch, but Amazon's 'Product Specifications' is not fully accurate., May 26, 2011
By
Joe K. "KDOG's Domain" (Hawaii)
This watch is pretty good. It looks nice and keeps good time. However,
the 'Product Specifications' that Amazon states for this watch is not
fully accurate.
Examples:
- the Dial Window Material type
is claimed to be Mineral, but it seems to be plastic, as it scratches
easier than my Casio, which does have a mineral dial window;
- the Case Material is NOT Stainless Steel; it's appears to be plastic or resin that's been painted silver;
-
the Band Material is not fully stainless-steel, but a combination of
stainless-steel and plastic or rubber connectors between links.
However, the band is comfortable.
The Indiglo illumination is
good, but you have to hold the button in to keep it on; when the button
is released, the light goes off. Not sure if this is done to conserve
battery life? There is a way/setting to make it so that the Indiglo
stays on for about 3 seconds after the button is pushed, but it then
allows ALL the buttons to activate the Indiglo illumination. I would
have preferred to keep it to just the one (upper left) watch button.
If
one is looking for a real stainless-steel cased, mineral dial windowed
watch, this one isn't for you. I guess this watch was cheaper in price
because it has more plastic than stainless-steel. However, apparently
one gets what one pays for, and overall (for the price), this watch is a
nice one, is comfortable to wear and keeps good time. Just be
forewarned of the differences in its posted specs.

Solid Everyday Watch, April 11, 2011
By
Frank C. (The Garden State, USA)
It's a good watch for everyday wear. The first thing I noticed is how
light it is. You barely feel it on your wrist. The band is a bit on
the cheap side. It's not even a full steel band but has rubber in the
links. Otherwise, I have nothing to complain about especially at this
price. It's a solid timekeeper from Timex.

Excellent general purpose watch, February 21, 2011

Stanley E. Woodford (Clinton, UT USA)
I like this watch because it has a very nice display. As it turns out it

Excellent watch, January 11, 2011
This is an excellent watch, and I've worn it everyday for the last ten
years. The watch is built extremely tough, and has taken much abuse over
the years but still works flawlessly. The face can get scratched
though, and the silver paint on the watch wears off over time, exposing
the white plastic underneath. The battery died out after four years or
so, but was easily replaced.
It has several useful features such
as a stopwatch and a countdown timer. The backlight also works
beautifully, and lights up the entire dial evenly. For $30, I don't
think you could do any better.

Excellent despite the relativley low cost, October 5, 2010
I've had this watch for several days and am very happy with it. By
comparison to another watch with an atomic-update feature, this Timex
looses only a few seconds in several days. If you do buy one, toss the
Instruction Manual away (way too small to use) and download the pdf
Instruction Manual from the Timex website. I haven't worried yet about
mastering the extra timers and alarms yet, so I can't comment on how
easy or hard they are to use vs other watches. So far, I haven't had
any problems some others have experienced with the band.

Long lasting watch, June 3, 2010
The watch has all the basic features you would need. The best part about
the watch is that it lasts forever. Checkout reviews elsewhere, and you
will see that some people have had these watches for 20 years or more. I
have had mine since at least December 1999. It was a Christmas gift, I
may have gotten a year or two before 1999. But, you get the idea. over
10 years later I have had to replace the band and battery one time each
(both last year in 2009). The front of the watch has scrapes on it and
some of the text has begun to rub off... but, it still works. I like the
watch so much that I came here looking to see if I could get another
one, I would put it in storage and have it just in case this one ever
stops working. That probably won't happen for another 10 years though!

I love this watch, April 15, 2010
By
C. G. WINDHAM (Oxford Florida)
I love this watch,this is my 4th one, in about 10 years.
water proof with the indiglow dial and the stop watch.
the
band is great, it does not pull the hairs on your arm. Also the watch
is thin and lays flat on your arm, NOT like the new models which are
thick and tend to catch on things in the industrial workplace. It is a
great design, I hope Timex continues to make this watch.

Great watch, March 4, 2010
I really like this watch a lot. I like it so much that this is the 4th
one I have bought. When I replaced each watch, it was because the case
was getting a little beat up (I am hard on watches). The batteries
started showing signs of getting a little weak after about 3 to 4 years
for each watch, which I think is pretty darn good. My favorite part of
the watch is the watch band.

Timex Atlantis, February 12, 2010
By
Nolan P. Critchlow "buggyman" (Utah)
This is the fourth of these watches I have owned. All were absolutely
reliable and accurate. My work is hard on watches; the cases and bands
take a beating, but the watches still run perfectly. I buy a new one
when the face becomes unreadable. You can't beat the Atlantis for value
and a dressier style than most inexpensive watches.

Not so much, January 16, 2010
By
William J. Sutton (Houston, Texas United States)
I had this watch for less than two months. It kept nearly perfect time,
it was good looking and very comfortable to wear. After about 4 weeks,
I noticed a pin working loose from the band. I worked it back in
multiple times and didn't think too much of it. In less than 8 weeks,
the band separated and I had to send the watch back. My main reason for
buying it was the hope that the band would last, so I'm very
disappointed. I have no idea if my experience was unusual or not, but
I've bought a more expensive watch as a result.

Watch OK, Band not so much., December 11, 2009
I was really upset when the Timex watch I purchased in 1985, which I
loved, developed a problem with the liquid crystal display. After
considerable research, I settled on the Timex Men's Atlantis 100 as the
most comparable replacement. It has all the functions of my original
watch, but is a bit more complicated to use. However, the band which
came with the watch fell apart within a week after I started wearing it.
Fortunately, as noted in other reviews, the band can be replaced, so I
did so with the original band from my old Timex; obviously they don't
make them to last like they used to!

Nice watch WITH A STANDARD REPLACEABLE BAND !!, August 7, 2009
By
Donald Gillies "secretbearer" (San Diego, CA United States)
I've bought 2 Atlantis watches and 10 Ironman watches over the past 25
years. Lately I've been buying watches for both myself and my wife.
When my wife's expensive ironman band failed, causing her watch face to
disappear from her wrist forever, after ONLY THREE MONTHS - I started to
reconsider my recent purchasing decisions!
THIS WATCH USES A
STANDARD WATCH BAND. It has all the features of the Ironman, more or
less. If you've been using these timexes for 25 years as i have, you
know that eventually the band snaps and you want a replacement. Well, I
won't fall for this B.S. from Timex, who has made all their Ironman
models use custom nonstandard bands !! So, I am switching over to
Atlantis ~ I already bought one for my wife, and I'm getting one for
myself !!
This new model has the same user interface as an
Ironman, with chronograph and 3 alarms, and the iron is probably the
alltime best-selling digital chronograph (since about 1986.) I predict
that this will become the new #1 seller in the Timex line of sports
watches !!

Good Watch., July 16, 2009

Aaron L. Birenbaum (California)
I have to agree too that this watch is excellent. I've had mine for 8
years and like these other reviews, the plastic front is faded and
cracked and the plastic straps have broken, but so be it cause the watch
has been ticking for nearly ten years. The money has paid itself off so
many times it's kind of ridiculous.

WATCH BAND KEPT BREAKING, March 3, 2009
Timex used to make great watches and probably still do but I am not so
sure as to why they are putting cheap wristbands on the watches. I wore
the watch three times for a total time of about 15 minutes. The watch
band kept coming apart. The pins that hold the band together kept
coming out. I did notice the second time that it was not even the same
pin but a pin in a different location. After the third time it broke I
decided to send the watch back. I like my watchbands on the looser side
so it was not tight on my wrist. The watch itself was good and I
really liked the displays and lighting for nighttime. With this
experience I will never buy another Timex.

Great looking watch, durable, good price, March 2, 2009
I really like the classic styling of this watch. I've had it for about
12 years now and it keeps time well with minimal battery use. It has 2
time zones, optional alarm and hourly beep, stopwatch with laps,
countdown timer, and "indiglo" back light. Only down-side is the
buttons are hard to push - they're little round metal cylinders about
1-2mm in diameter - pretty small & stiff to press, & you end up
having to using your thumbnail.

By
Robert W. Winter "Bob W" (Atlanta, GA)
This is the 3rd one of these watches I have bought. I wear it for work
and travel. The timer features are very helpful in keeping track of time
on Jobs. When I travel I can always keep one time zone on my home and
the other on the place I am visiting. I wear it every day and they last
about 3 - 4 years, which is great considering the price of the watch. I
have never had to buy a battery. I'll buy another one when I use this
one up. You need to wash it when you work or your sweat will eat into
the control buttons.

TIMEX ALANTIS 100, December 2, 2008
I have now owned four of the atlantis 100 timex watches. Classy design
with an easily adjustable band. My last one was lost outside in the
winter snow. When I found it in the Spring, it was still running. I
replace them whenever I have worn out the harware, but the watches never
stop running. Easy to read displays, easy on the wallet. Highly
recommended.

14 Years Strong, December 2, 2008
I have had the Atlantis 100 for 14 years now. The silver coating flaked
off long ago, along with the logo and button labels. It only beeps
when you hit it on the table. I have gone through several bands since
these resin bands don't last more than a year. This watch is really
beat up. But the fact that it can take so much abuse and still function
properly as it did for 14 years is a testament to its durability. This
is a watch that you will wear for a long time.

Poor substitute for a great watch, August 1, 2008
By
Citris1 (Dania Beach, Florida USA)
For years I owned a Timex Alarm Chronograph watch. It was a great
timepiece, all stainless steel; it took a lot of hard use and still
looked good. When it finally broke down Timex couldn't fix it but only
offered to replace it with a watch with fewer features.
The only
watch Timex offered like it iwith the same features, alarm chronograph,
timer etc. was the Atlantis 100. (I wouldn't be surprised if it has the
same electronics inside.) However it is not nearly as good a watch. The
body is made of plastic with a silver coating which wears off and looks
shoddy. The LCD part is set deep into the watch, it is like looking
into the bottom of a well, making the numbers hard to read. The clasp on
the band has a way of becoming unhooked, just at the wrong times. I
don't know why they stopped making the better product; I would buy it at
event twice the original price.

Not the quality it used to be...., April 24, 2008
By
G. Kauffman (Lakeland, FL United States)
This review is from: Timex Men's T77517 Atlantis 100 Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch (Watch)
I thought this watch would be of the same quality as it used to be.
Several years ago I had the same identical watch and loved it. When it
failed and I was in need of a replacement I thought I would purchase
another just like it based on my previous experience. Now I find the
case is plastic? or at least not the metal it used to be and the band is
a very chincy thin tin-like metal and overall is quite cheap
construction. I am truly disappointed in the product. I question if it
will last very long. I guess you get what you pay for now days.

Amazing Workhorse, April 11, 2008
By
Mike M (East Coast, USA)
I used to need to buy a new watch every couple of years before I bought
this one. Have had it for 6-7 years now and it's held up amazingly
well. The battery died on me for the first time just recently. The
straps have needed replacing every couple of years, but when that
happens I just go to voguestrap.com and get new ones cheaply. The only
drawback is that the face will easily scratch. It's a handsome,
inexpensive and very reliable watch with many features that has become
like a friend. I'll replace the battery rather than get a new one, even
after all these years, as it's been so good to me.

A reliable timepiece., March 25, 2008
I don't remember the exact age of my watch, but I think this watch is
getting to be about 9 years old. It is on it's third battery. I
thought a watch of such extreme age could no longer be water resistant,
but it survived a trip thought the washing machine.
Unlike other guady sports watches, this model is relatively thin in depth and thus more confortable to wear.
The
bad news about this watch is that the case will lose it's silver and
the band will eventually fall apart. The good news is that you can buff
off the rest of the silver, buy a leather watch band and the watch
won't look too bad.

I have owned this model Timex for 4 years. Accuracy and features are

Great watch, but flawed design stainless steel band, May 24, 2007
By
W. Oman (Walnut Creek, CA United States)
I have found this particular watch fantastic for over ten years.
However,last year when the latest plastic band broke I bought the same
style but with the stainless steel band. In the past tweleve months I
have had to purchase 3 replacement watches because the pins holding the
band's links together keep slipping out. The plastic bands seem to make
me prown to getting a wrist rash, so I am afraid I will need to
investigate Casio as an alternative as long as Timex continues to use
weak pins!

ordering. What I ordered was exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

Long lasting and tough, April 29, 2007
By
T. Tong (Beaverton, OR)
I was surprised to find out that Timex still makes this watch! I have
worn this watch every day for the past 9 years, and it's still running
on the original battery. It has remained largely intact, only with minor
chips and scratches. The face, or 'crystal' has a lot of minor
scratches, but the numbers are still very clear to read. The silver
paint on the body has started to wear off, as well as some of the
lettering, but then again, it has far exceeded its lifetime. Definitely
recommended for its price.

Watch is fine, wrist band not so good, January 16, 2007
By
J. Calvert (OH United States)
I bought this watch as a duplicate replacement for one my husband's been
wearing for many years. Our only complaint is that the pins keep
coming out of the wrist band! Not cool.

Requested review of Timex 77517, January 9, 2007
I think this is an excellent product. It performs a myriad of functions
and is in a neat package, not gaudy or bulky. It is the third such
watch I have purchased and worn out. They all lasted a long time, the
metal strap broke long before the watch did.

The best watch, September 10, 2006
By
Andrew Allen "John E." (Washington)
Note: I get extremely attached to objects that I enjoy.
This is
an excellant watch. It's simple, sleek looking, comfortable, and they
last forever. Unfortunately, the above poster is correct; the plastic
flakes and chips off and the rubber bands begin to break. I have had one
of these for 7 years and it's still ticking away without any kind of
maintaince.

It replaced my $350 seiko, March 6, 2006
This is not a particularly pretty watch, but it is VERY accurate and has
all the functions that I use daily. countdown timer, dual
chronographs, water resistance, hourly beep, and two alarms. My $350
seiko watch broke, and I bought this as a "temporary"...I'm still
wearing this one. I imagine (since the quality is about what you expect
from a $30 watch) that I'll be replacing it about every two years...no
problem. Wal-Mart sells them.

A moderately good watch, July 12, 2005
For the price this is an excellent watch, but it is not a product for
the person looking for a lifelong timepiece. I love the features. It's
not easy to find a good looking 100% digital watch. However, after a few
years (around 5) the color on the plastic around the face started to
flake off and the rubber clasps began to break.
