Timex T20031: The Easy Reader Does What It Says

The Easy Reader has been in Timex’s lineup for decades because it works. Big Arabic numerals on a clean dial. Day and date at 3 o’clock. INDIGLO backlight when you need it. The T20031 adds a blue dial to the formula without complicating anything.

Legibility First

At 35mm, this isn’t trying to make a statement—it’s trying to be readable. Full Arabic numerals around the dial mean you’re not squinting at indices. The blue dial provides contrast without being flashy. The day-date window shows both the day of the week and the date, which is more useful than just a date.

The Expansion Band

Yes, it’s the classic stretchy metal band. Some people call it the grandpa style; Timex calls it practical. No clasp to fiddle with—just slide it on and go. The links are removable if you need to adjust the fit. It’s not trendy, but it’s comfortable and has outlasted plenty of trends.

INDIGLO Does Its Job

Press the crown and the entire dial lights up with that blue-green glow. Timex developed INDIGLO in the early ’90s and it still works better than most lume applications. The backlight is bright enough to read in complete darkness without searing your eyes.

Who This Is For

If you want to know the time and date without thinking about it, the Easy Reader delivers. It’s water-resistant to 30m (hand washing, not swimming) and runs on a standard battery. No complications, no fuss—just a watch that’s easy to read. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
