Expedition Rugged Metal Watch

I really like this watch for the price. The cream colored dial with orange accents is really nice. The indiglo feature lights up the entire dial instead of just having luminous hands. The band is nice and looks good with the case. It's a nice, large case that looks good on a big wrist. The case is metal and feels substantial. The band is sueded leather and prone to scratch damage. A nylon band would be more field watch like. The case is a strange pewter color that is hard to match with a new band. It looks ok with a black band but haven't found another color that looks good with it, light beige/sand color doesn't look good. Brown doesn't look good. The bezel has compass markings that serve no function.

I chose this Timex Expedition after days of searching for an under $ 100. sturdy casual-style watch. I initially did not want a fixed bezel with numbers on it as it seemed like useless decoration. I looked for a rotating bezel but found none. I couldn't get this Expedition out of my mind though. The face has a charming effect on me. Days later, I went back to it and gave it serious consideration. Its numbers and compass letters on the bezel are muted and not outstanding. I now accept that. It seems to be a fine watch. I am currently testing its accuracy. I read of some quartz watches sounding too loud. (none of my others were) This one isn't heard until you put it to your ear. I DO have a large problem with the seller though. The watch's box came mauled and taped up. There was no instruction paper, and the delivery envelope itself was delivered open. How do I know if this watch is someone else's send-back? I was very close to sending it back for those reasons. I have never been sent mauled goods before. If, in a few weeks the watch is still doing ok I will keep it. I will up-date this post. Update - I set the watch to an online time setting site. After fourteen days, it showed a negative seven second gap. That would equal around a fourteen second gap per month. I have read that a plus or minus twenty second gap is considerd good. SO, I am happy with that. As for the rest of the watch, I bought a few dark nylon quick change bands, and if your manly wrist isn't too skinny I recommend it over the competition. But maybe from a seller you trust.

The only reasons I gave an overall 4 star review instead of a 5-star was due to (1) receiving a faulty watch on the first delivery attempt. That watch simply didn't start as it should after simply pulling off the protective tab - I suspect there was a battery problem. So, I returned it and waited another week for the replacement to be delivered. (2) The instruction sheet did not provide complete instructions, and though I already knew how to change the Date, I had to watch YouTube vids to recall how to change the Day of the week. But this replacement watch works fine, and I do love this watch and wear it all the time. I've been purchasing various Timex Expedition watches over the years, and this particular style is a favorite due to it's rougher "outdoorsy" style of appearance with its silver-toned brass case and stable chronograph paired with the brown Ieather strap. At the time of my Amazon purchase, it was also a considerable cost savings over the same model in a local store. I camp a lot during Spring/Summer, and the Indiglo light (just press the button) offers easy time viewing at night or when waking early in the tent. Since most of my camping is by lakes, having a 100m water resistance (330 feet) provides me great reassurance should I slip and fall in the water, or the watch slip off in the water, or I forget to take it off while swimming (A previous Expedition I owned was only 50m water resistance so if water is in your future, be alert to water resistance.)

good watch. Very durable and easy to read

Great every day watch! Rugged and stylish.

I've only had this watch a few weeks but I love it! It's great looking, very legible and the Indiglo puts it over the top. When I wake up in the morning I push a button and it lights up to see if I really want to get out of bed in my dark bedroom. I am going to swap out my leather band for a stretchy nylon band but I am going to continue to enjoy wearing it!

Buen producto calidad precio.

Looking good and work as expexted Nice feature with indiglo

Bell'orologio, molto più bello dal vivo che in foto. Preso a 45€ durante i Prime Day poiché mi serviva un orologio per il lavoro, un orologio per il quale non devo preoccuparmi di eventuali segni o graffi. Molto bella la funzione Indiglo di Timex per illuminare tutto il quadrante. Okay, per la cifra che costa non aspettatevi chissà quali rifiniture per la cassa, alla fine è un orologio da tutti i giorni. Se proprio devo trovargli un difetto, in certi punti la lancetta dei secondi non è precisissima e non si ferma esattamente sulla tacca segnata dei secondi, ma roba veramente da poco, tanto nessuno sta lì a osservare secondo per secondo l'orologio. Acquisto sicuramente consigliato per chi cerca un orologio bello esteticamente, senza fronzoli, adatto anche per lavorare, senza preoccuparsi di graffiarlo.

Lindo demais, robusto, materiais de qualidade, meu segundo timex, certeza que vou querer mais um em alguma oportunidade (digo "promoção" kkk), combina com tudo e passa a impressão que vai durar uma vida, se bem cuidado lógico!
