The clock setting Timex designed to typically simple - who a bit familiar with digital watches, does not need manual (kennste one kennste all principle). The clock comes bundled with a 100 hours a stopwatch timer, 24 hour timer and three alarms (with snooze function), and a second freely selectable time zone that can be accessed by pressing the upper right handle. The date can be set according to European standards ie DD / MM instead of the usual MM / DD. The backlight of the clock (Indiglo) is the best I've ever seen on a digital clock, regardless of price or brand, here Timex has surpassed itself - why? Because the digits in an incredible clarity and crispness light as soon as you Activate the lighting that has to be seen even to know what I mean. The digits to jump to a formal, but at the same time they are so moderate bright that the night vision does not suffer and you do not risk running into a tactical situation to betray his position. My previous reference here was the Timex Ironman Shock T5K196 which I have also written a review ...
; Qid = 1363893351 & sr = 8-1
... However, the lighting of the T-49900 is simply again better by at least one class. If you want to use the functions of the Timex (eg timer), a simple push of the respective button, unnecessary waiting as Casio (Set-up lever and hold for 2-3 seconds) is not here. By night mode, the Indiglo lighting, it is possible to set the clock in the dark, because then each of the oppressors, the lighting enabled. If you're fast enough to activate the night mode but not necessary, since one must only activate the lights 1x and then you each time you press this further activated can kan, only the keystrokes must be made within 3 seconds.
The alarm is loud and clear even if things get a bit noisy one. When it beeps Timer 10 seconds with adjusted time alarm 20 seconds (10 seconds slow, 10 seconds).
The bracelet wears comfortable and soft, through the fusible tape holder, the same can not slip back and forth as well. The bandwidth is the rejuvenation still proud 24mm and the clasp is frosted, so that here no "bling-bling" can be found accents. In general, the T-49900 a clock which you can certify the predicate "Überstealthy", ie the right for people want to have the minimum and maximum Auffälligkei readability. The water resistance is indicated with 50 meters / 5 bar which does not necessarily appear overwhelming. However, it should be loose enough for showers and the swimming pool, for a ersnthafte diving tour may not be possible, where you should not take it so seriously this whole WR details onehin always - find all watch manufacturers like to play with the fear of customers and marketing is just for water resistance specifications HUGE written.
Conclusion: for the price is called the T-49900 a great clock, compared to 90% of all other negative displays is probably unmatched readability of their negative display (regardless of brand and price). The lighting and the square retro look (okay, you have to like) carry even more help to look more closely at Timex, a strong buy recommendation on my part.
