原文:At first sight, this watch captured my attention for various reasons. In my opinion, it's effortlessly cool and stylish. While the description says it's "unisex," I believe that it was purposely constructed on a larger scale to accommodate the majority of a male's larger features. With that
said, it has a larger watch face, longer strap, etc. I didn't mind this one bit. In fact, I actually preferred it! So when it arrived in my mailbox, I don't think I was half-way up my driveway before I was tearing into the box to try it on. And it did NOT disappoint...It was every bit as beautiful as I thought it would be!Once I got in, I didn't even bother to set the watch or read the directions because I was so eager to see what it would look like on and, in my opinion, this larger timepiece looked spectacular atop my smaller wrist...loved it!! My husband even remarked how much he liked it and asked to try it on! Once I sat down to get acquaninted with my new watch, it reminded me of sitting down to dinner with a blind date. Here, I had been reading shining reviews and seeing all these great pics about this watch, but now that I was sitting down and getting to know more about the watch, I began to see some of its flaws...For starters, the band is thin, as other reviewers have mentioned. While that's not a deal-breaker for me, the overall quality of the strap (which boasts that it's genuine leather, made in India and, side note to my side note: Timex conveniently added a tag in with the watch saying that the strap would and SHOULD show wear) felt a bit flimsy and dare I say, cheap? I wasn't planning using this for my daily watch anyway, so I will remember to give the strap some TLC.I have rather small wrists for a gal, so adjusting the strap so that the watch would be fitted posed a few problems...for starters, the strap does not have an adjustable "loop?" on the band to tuck the extra slack from the strap into. It has a metal loop that is sewn into the band and remains stationary. This results in a pretty sizeable strap overhang from the absence of this non-adjustable feature. At first, this didn't bother me but then when I ran a quick errand, I noticed that the overhang started getting caught on my purse and seatbelt, among other things. Annoying, but still manageable.Another quirk about this watch is the latch/buckle that secures it to your wrist. I didn't notice it when I first put the watch on and initially adjusted it, but over time, the corner of the buckle began to dig in to my wrist. If you prefer a looser fit, I don't think you would experience this. Personally, I prefer a more fitted fit but I did manage to remedy this by loosening the band by one notch. This was a perfect solution b/c the watch's face and "supports?" (the metal pieces attached to the timepiece that then attaches to the strap) are so large, that the size of my wrist prevented it from shifting from the center of my wrist. Didn't spin, either!Timex included paperwork on the water resistance restriction, battery care and warranty in 10 different languages but NOTHING about how to set the chronograph features. They did, however, include a website which provides model-specific manuals to help set their watches. Little bit of extra work, but saves paper consumption in the long run and won't get lost over time, so kudos to Timex!All in all, it's a beautiful watch. And while there are some quirks that I felt they were worth mentioning, I can work around them if it means keeping this chic piece!

译文:我对这只手表是一见钟情,原因有很多。在我看来,这款手表酷又时尚。虽然描述里说它是“男女通用的”,但我相信它是故意设计成更大的尺寸,以适应大多数大块头的男性。要是是这样的说法的话,手表的表盘会更大,表待会更长。不过我不介意这一点。实际上我相当喜欢这个设计。所以当我得知快递已经放进了我的邮箱里时,我可能在半路上就很想冲到箱子里把手表拿出来佩戴。结果当然也没有让人失望,和我想象中一样精致。
我一戴上手表就懒得看说明书,也懒得设置手表。我觉得这么大的手表戴在我的小手腕上,可能看起来有点夸张……不过我很喜欢,我丈夫也说他很喜欢这只手表,他也很想试戴一下。有一次我坐着观察我的新手表,它让我想起了我从前和一个相亲对象坐下来吃饭的情景。我一直在阅读关于这款手表的好评,也看到了很多很棒的照片,但现在我开始想了解更多关于手表的信息,于是我开始看到了这只手表的缺陷。
首先,正如其他买家提到的那样,这个表带很薄。虽然这对我来说不是一个大问题,但表带的整体质量有点脆弱(官方号称这是印度制造的真皮,在备注旁边再添备注:天美时应该要做一个标签,上面最好要标注手表如何佩戴)我可不敢说这个手表很便宜哟。我本来就不打算将这块手表作为我的日常使用手表。所以我会非常温柔地呵护这只手表。
我的手腕比较小,所以就必须要调整表带。在调整表带的过程中,我就遇到了一些问题。首先,表带上竟然没有可供调节的环扣?多余的表带就没有办法处理掉了。手表上只有一个被缝进表带里的金属环扣,但它被固定在那里,无法移动。这导致了有相当多余的一部分表带会静止悬垂在空中。起初我还不是很介意这个问题。但很快我就在工作中就发现了一些问题,它很可能会卡住钱包、安全带或者其他的东西。虽然挺烦的,但是还处在可控制的范围内。
这款手表还有另外一个缺点就是手表上的锁扣,它会使你的手腕被束缚住。我第一次戴上手表以及调整的时候并没有注意到这个问题。但是随着时间的推移,我感觉到我的手腕被束缚住了。如果你喜欢穿宽松的衣服的话,我觉得你很可能不会注意到这种感觉。就我而言,我更喜欢穿合身的衣服,所以我会调节表带来放松一点。这是一个完美的解决方案。附在手表上的金属片还会附着在手表表带上。手表的表盘太大了,而我的手腕太小,导致了手表在我的手腕上不会移动或者转动。
天美时有防水证书,关于电池维护的介绍,以及十种不同语言的保修文件,但他们没有介绍怎么设置计时功能的纸质说明书。不过确实可以从官网上找到具体型号的手表的使用指南以帮助我们设置手表。这确实只是一点点额外的工作,但从长远看来的话,不把计时功能的调整指南印在纸质说明书上大大节省了纸张的消耗。而且保存在官网上的数据并不会随着时间的推移而丢失。所以天美时值得表扬!
总之,这块手表还是蛮漂亮的。尽管我觉得我有必要提一些小缺点,但它们还是很漂亮,我愿意把它们留下。
