Your dad's watch, and it still glows
By Dave Kowalski, Chicago ยท
Okay, it's $50 to $70. The Easy Reader is the watch my dad had. Probably your dad too. Big Arabic numerals, white dial, 38 mm, 8 mm thin, brass case, leather strap, quartz. Indiglo backlight, which is the best thing Timex ever did. Press the crown and the whole dial glows blue.
30 m. Mineral crystal. Brass case will wear through the plating eventually. It's a $60 watch, it's going to act like one.
But it tells time and you can read it from across a room. In Chicago in January when it's dark at 4:30 and you're trying to figure out how long till quitting time, that glow is clutch. Buy it as a backup. Buy it for your kid.
