eBook Description

Engineers and non-engineers often eschew electrical engineering because it is premised on concepts and mathematical techniques that are somewhat more abstract and elusive than those employed in disciplines like civil, mechanical, and industrial engineering. Yet, because of the ubiquitous nature of electrical and electronic equipment and devices, and the indispensable role electricity plays in various facets of lives, a basic understanding of electrical engineering is essential. Engineers and non-engineers find themselves interfacing with electrical apparatus and dealing with matters that permeate into the electrical realm. Therein lies the purpose and objective of this book. This edition includes numerous updated pictures, diagrams, tables, charts, graphs, and improved explanation of certain concepts.

Very good watch
Color: White/Chrome-tone
Was a gift for my girlfriend. I even liked it has a mode for two different times sets. The strap does get dirty fast. But its really useful this watch and very good in estetics.

Very nice feminine quality watch
Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Pink/Rose Gold-Tone
I purchased this watch for work. As a nurse, I need the exact date and time in military time and seconds, so this watch is perfect. It’s the 3rd of this kind that I’ve ordered over the years and this one is definitely my favorite. Much easier to program than previous models and the look is very feminine and cute. Of course being water resistant is important since I have to wash my hands a million times a day. I’m hoping it will last a long time as previous models have. Usually the plastic band breaks from daily wear and tear before the battery has ever stopped, but that’s after years of daily use. That’s why I prefer to stick with this brand. They’ve always been very durable, lightweight, and effective for what I need it for. I would definitely recommend. This version is the cutest, like I would wear it even when not working. So I’m very happy with it. *** Update: 2 years later I still wear this watch everyday, at work or not. Has never broken, battery still going strong and still so pretty. Awesome 👏🏻

Great modest, minimalist digital watch: 2 time zones, Indiglo, subtle hourly chime
Color: Purple/Silver-Tone
Great value and this is nice, low-key but functional and sleek timepiece. I bought it to replace an older Ironman (bulkier) watch that finally reached end of life after LOTS of adventures (still functions, but strap and face just really couldn't be taken into corporate or social settings without expectation of some heckling). I REALLY like most of the new features (especially the dual time zones, hourly chime (can toggle on/off), and Indiglo applied to the numbers/text rather than as background), I probably would have switched to this earlier if I had known of them. Slight negative that the hourly chime toggle is nested within the time setting workflow, so can't just nearly instantly switch it when heading into movie/performance/other setting where want to silence it fully. I can't speak to the water resistance of this one yet, have been taking it off to shower and haven't been swimming yet. (Taking it off to shower in part because had seen other reviews noting that the trim around the dial may not be long-lasting. So out of caution to extend its appearance, I'll probably remove it for salt/chlorinated water swims (not timing laps)). Only other aspect should note is that the feature that helps to "lock" the strap band at end (bit of a nub to catch) is bit tricky when putting it on / taking it off, may be even more so for those with arthritis or other condition that would make it extra challenging/frustrating to maneuver and engage. Quite happy with it overall though, just a slight annoyance when putting on / taking off (which may not apply for most if they just leave it on).

Good Everyday Watch - But Scratches Easily!
Color: White/Chrome-tone, Color: White/Chrome-tone
This is exactly the watch I was looking for. I needed a basic watch that is waterproof, can also act as a stopwatch, I don’t need to charge, and hold up to regular wear and kid activities. Set up was incredibly easy and didn’t need any directions. The size and style are slim and sleek making it easy to wear under just about anything or wear to bed. I’ve had Iron Man watches in the past that I’ve loved. I lost my recent one hence this replacement. I’m hopeful that this watch can hold up to every day wear and not have any of the wristband or chipping issues as other users have seen. Will come back to update the review after a few weeks of wear. 3/19/26: Back for an update. Watch function is still great but the face of the watch gets scratched so easily. I questioned these reviews when I ordered the watch thinking, “how bad could it be?” And they’re right. Super easily scratched. I have no idea how I even scratched/damaged mine. Doesn’t affect function but frustrated that it happened within a month of use/wear. I suppose you get what you pay for - very disappointing for well known brand such as Timex. Lost two stars for this sole reason.

Functionally not bad, but style is meh
Color: Blue/Rose Gold-Tone, Color: Blue/Rose Gold-Tone
Likes: Very easy to read with the large numbers/characters The “indiglo” lighting seems to efficient in dark/dim light Dislikes: Setup is not easy. It did not come with instructions. Watch time lags behind Find the watch a little uncomfortable on the wrist I need a watch for the clinical portion of my schooling. This watch is not terrible. The display is easy to read and the indiglo light displays well. Ultimately, I’ve decided to return it. I wish it had instructions. I got by enough to set the correct time and date, but it appears there are two times you can preset it to. So maybe you can have one set as one time zone & the other another time zone. I was going to set one as normal time and the other as military time, but couldn’t figure out how to set which preset you want to currently display, so I just set both as the same exact thing. I like a different watch, also purchased from Amazon, better for myself after comparing it to this timex. I just don’t care for the look of this one. It looks a bit too juvenile. My sister described it well as a watch she “would have worn as late elementary/middle schooler” and I agree. I have a feeling that maybe it doesn’t come across as such in the white. White was my first choice, but other reviews mentioned the band dirtying and not being able to remove stains/coloring, so I went with this blue band color. Also, something about the watch was a bit uncomfortable while wearing it and I have a hunch settling in to wearing it more would not solve that discomfort much, if at all. Also, I initially set the watch 2 minutes early against the time on my phone. But it’s now days later and I noticed it runs behind the time on my phone by about 30 seconds. Both the watch I compared to this one and this timex itself claim to be water resistant, but I have not tested those claims with any hand washing or anything. I trust they’ll be fine in that sense. Also haven’t tried the alarm/stopwatch features as they’re not exactly needs of mine. Overall, I like that the look of the watch I like better in comparison will not only serve its purpose for my schooling just fine, but it also looks less kiddy, was cheaper, and actually came with instructions. If all you care about is big easy to read characters and don’t mind if your watch time ends up being a little behind, this timex is fine. If you want/expect more/different than that, maybe keep looking elsewhere because you can probably find more of what you’re seeking out and possibly even cheaper than this timex.
