Review of the Orient CFT00004B

The charge symbol is abattery that is displayed in the center of the screen between the dateand the time. Solar power is an absolute necessity in a quartz watch asbattery changes are annoying and back lights, like Indiglo, can drain conventional power sources quickly. The solar system also puts the watch to sleep whenit is not in use or facing a light source to save the reserve, pressing any button or returning the watch to the light will wake it. I do wish that Timex hadincluded the ability for the watch to be calibrated by an atomicsignal. Many Casio watches feature this technology and while the Timex is notdifficult to set, atomic calibration is great and I can't help but feelthat it is missing from the otherwise full feature set of this watch.Timex has included the standard feature set available in most of theirdigital watches including a chronograph, timer, and multiple alarms.All of thefeatures are controlled by a set of five buttons including onededicated Indiglo button and one button located below the screen. Along with the well designed screen and ample feature set this watch isvery well designed for its main purpose, to be worn on a wrist. Thecase is integrated with the resin strap and carries a fixed shape thatsits perfectly on your wrist, sized to fit with a tang buckle and asingle holder. Timex shows the innovation that 20+ years of refiningthe same design brings, for example, the keeper that holds the leftover strap against your wrist has a small plastic tab on the underside that keeps it in place.
