Customer Reviews
 I loved the position of the watch face on the inner part of my wrist. It makes complete sense to have it there to avoid twisting your hand to see the time. Excellent position when riding a bike too.
The features of the watch are great - chronograph, timer, and alarms are easy to use and set. The indiglo light is great for low light conditions. My biggest peeve about the OVA design has to do with the wristband design. The flat part of the watch does not comform to the shape of my wrist so even with the band somewhat tight, it would slip from one side to the other rather than remaining on the optimal spot it was designed for. I compensated for this by molding a couple of silicone putty ear plugs on each side of the wristband. The wristband also comes with too few tightness options. It's either too tight or too loose. The band is completely integrated with the rest of the watch so it is not replaceable. I wished a velcro type aftermarket strap were an option for a more custom fit. After a year of wearing this watch, the thin web-like plastic strap broke and there's no way to save it and the watch is now unwearable. It's a pity because it still functions fine but the non-replaceable plastic strap makes it unusable. I wish Timex would take some time to redesign the OVA concept. It's about 75% there. The 25% shortcomings makes it hard to justify buying another one. I've gone back to a more standard sportwatch.  |
| it's a nice watch, however the band started falling apart less than a year after owning it. |
| I am an avid radio control model airplane flyer. I have the need to carefully regulate my flight time to eliminate running out of fuel while in flight. My requirements included: highly visible numerical display, ease of timing operation, reliability, and wearing comfort. I found this Timex model met all of my requirements. At first, I was unsure regarding the unique side-wrist position in which the watch is worn. In fact, this is quite comfortable, and it places the timing display in such a position to be easily read. I recommend this watch. |
| Coming from a long distance runner, I find this watch to be one of the best watches I've had in a long time. |
| I ordered one men's for myself and one women's for my wife. Nothing to it other than it is eye catching and time to replace our worn out old running watches. Functionality : no different from other watch. But it takes a while to get use to : not to overturn the wrist to view and wear as it sits awkwardly on the side. Also be sure to order men's size as the women's size is too small to view if you are running with it. |
