Our take on the Easy Reader Date 38mm Expansion Band Watch

The Timex Easy Reader Date is a simple analog watch with a large white dial, black numerals and a date window at 3 o'clock. It has been in Timex's lineup since 1977 and is known for being legible, durable and inexpensive to own. The silver-tone stainless steel expansion band stretches over the wrist, so there is no clasp or strap to fasten. It suits people who want a no-fuss everyday watch, and it competes with other budget quartz watches on legibility and simplicity rather than features.
