Summary: Moonphase Watch
Comment: I am surprised that after 10 years this Timex watch is still available. I purchased it again since it lasted over 8 years and is a beautiful long lasting watch.

Summary: Timex Watch
Comment: I was looking for a moon phase watch... ie. a monthly showing of the different phases of the moon..
On this watch, the moon comes up at night and the sun in the day. It was also a smaller size watch than I was expecting.

Summary: Not a True Moon Phase Watch - But Exactly What She Wanted!!!
Comment: My oldest daughter, (grown up and single Mom of a mid-teen daughter of her own), has a small collection of nice inexpensive to mid-range watches. Some dress, some casual and some sport. I'm kind of a watch collector and she occasionally rolls her eyes with feigned annoyance when she finds that I have just ordered, or just received another one for myself.
So she told me; "Dad, I have all the watches that I need. But if you feel like getting me one, I've always wanted one with a Day/Night Sun & Moon display on the face and a brown leather band.
So I looked and looked and looked. True "Moon Phase" watches that utilize specialized movements that are geared to sync with an extra internal "Lunar Event Calendar", (differently timed than 24-hour/day solar calendars), are very expensive and the selection is small.
Others, like this one, are not true "Moon Phase", but rather use a simple day and night sub-dial that can be easily incorporated into any analog watch movement and syncronized to the 24 hour cycle. Having said that, this is "Exactly What She Wanted" !!! After months of searching department and discount stores and internet resources, leave it to Amazon to have just "Exactly What She Wanted" at a good price.
And how about Timex for still making a timeless classic in a classy, easy to read format and design. It presents with a very attractive and stylish looking faceted gold-tone all stainless steel case, classic white dial, easy to read numerals, markers, three hand movement and date window. It is nominally water-resistant to water-splash, rain-storms and such, and by default, equally resistant to dust, perspiration and vapor contamination. Just tight enough to keep the movement clean, protected and thereby durable and dependable with normal day-to-day use.
The leather strap is medium quality, (typical in this range), adequate for the price, and just the right length for most ladies wrists, from small to large. (I examined it myself and do not agree with some other objections that it is short) Even if it wears out, suitable replacements can easily be found at modest prices. The 27mm case diameter is just a touch larger than most ladies watches of this type, and allows it to remain feminine in appearance, and yet easier to read than most.
BEST OF ALL, it features a larger than usual, cool looking Day/Night, Sun and Moon rotating subdial, attractively noticable, but tastefully balanced with the overall appearance of the dial and face. "Exactly What She Wanted"!!!
Not the most expensive watch that she owns, or that I have bought. But it was "Exactly What She Wanted"!!! The Timex reputation puts quality fears to rest for this low-priced time-piece. It was an even greater bargain with the Amazon discount. The happiness it brought was priceless! It was a perfect gift!
Thanks Timex for keeping an old tradition alive. And of course, how about Amazon!! Could have saved myself alot of time and trouble by looking here first. Amazon shipped it promptly and safely.
VERY SATISFACTORY! VERY PLEASED! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Oh, and did I mention: It was "EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED"!!!

Summary: Nice watch, a tad small
Comment: I didn't have any trouble with the band fitting as mentioned (and I'm definitely not 11)in some other reviews, but the face was a tad smaller than I was expecting for a moon phase watch, Still makes a nice watch that I can recommend.

Summary: Beautiful, and exactly as I remember
Comment: I received this watch many years ago as a young girl, and must have worn it for at least 8 years. But, it stopped working and battery replacement didn't help. I've been searching for another since then, so I was very happy to find it here.
This is not actually a moonphase watch; instead it shows the sun and the moon on a rotating dial.
Many other reviews talk about the small wristband. I've noticed it is most comfortable for a 17cm wrist, (my size); however, I am not a petite woman, and think it fits quite nicely. If the wristband size is what you're worried about, don't let that stop you. The face is beautiful, and leather bands stretch with time, and if needed, can always be replaced. :)
