Mineral Crystal
A toughened glass made from silica that's heat- and scratch-resistant, offering clear visibility and solid everyday durability.
Mineral Glass
Enhanced durability
Mineral crystals use a similar material to windowpane glass and were developed for watches as a harder alternative to acrylic. Mineral crystals are still susceptible to scratches but less so than acrylic, however it is not possible to buff out these scratches as it is with acrylic. Mineral glass is not as shatter resistant as acrylic but does offer greater transparency and clarity. Due to their improved scratch resistance versus acrylic, and improved shatter resistance versus sapphire, mineral is often considered to be the best of both worlds as a crystal material.

I like it, and love
"I like it, and love it relative to cost and quality. I do not like large cases. I started life out with a 37. 5 Tag and had an Ironman way back. As I look to add a few new watches, I like what Timex has going on. I love watches and own a variety. I believe Timex could do something with a smaller Marlin…a Marlin Jet with a stainless bracelet. The Easy Reader face is a bit too white if I had to be critical. The bracelet is great but it does pull hairs which you have to get used to."
Beautiful watch but I had
"Beautiful watch but I had to return it since it was quite loose on my wrist and the length couldn’t be adjusted for a snug fit."
Q&A
- Is there a battery already in the watch? There were no instructions in the box. How do I set the time and date?
- Hi Heather! The battery comes pre-installed when you purchase the watch, so you won’t need to worry about installing it yourself. Setting your watch is a breeze. Here's the manual: https://timex.com/cdn/shop/files/990-096577-01.pdf?v=16284919339905199326

- Is this a woman’s or man’s watch?
- Hello Sue! The Easy Reader 38mm Stainless Steel Expansion Band Watch with Perfect Fit is considered unisex, but the 38mm size tends to wear a bit large on smaller female wrists. Many women still enjoy the fit, but it depends on personal preference.
