Timex Expedition Field Chronograph 43mm Men’s Analog Watch | INDIGLO Backlight | Durable Comfortable Adjustable Strap | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 100M Water Resistance

Style: T49905 - blk/blk/brown leather bandEasy to read, watch face is well laid out and I like the contrast of the numbers against the background. It's been a while since I had a watch with Indiglo so it was nice to see that again. However, with the white hands, it's a little tough to read in the dark when the backlight is on, though it does have glow in the dark hands.Watch has a heavy, quality feel to it. Well constructed, like it may take a knock or two. Much beefier than any of the previous Timex watches I've owned. I was concerned about the crown size and it hitting the back of my hand in certain positions but it seems to be fine. I feel it but it's not nearly as prominent as I thought.If you have bad eyes like me, it may be tough to read without glasses on.The band fits well after oiling the leather --- cuts down drastically on break-in time. It always seems like I'm right in between two of the settings so oiling will help the band stretch a little in the tighter position. The color is pretty light fresh out of the box and the thread contrast is pretty retro. I found that oiling it also helped sort of detune that a little bit. I'm always one of those types that has to mod something the second I take it out of the box or it just isn't going to work. Oiling the leather band was the trick. I was on the fence and considering ordering a different one until I took a few minutes and hand rubbed some leather oil in to get it much darker and more pliable. Super comfortable. And thick, too. Seems like it will hold on for a few years.I bought a "used" one for a slightly discounted price -- in this economy, ffs!? Arrived just fine, intact, no signs of having been worn, just out of its original box and returned. Arrived in a factory box on factory wrist holder for the band, instructions were included, and arrived with a fresh battery installed -- just need to remove the tab to engage time and start the watch.Also, register the lifetime warranty. You'll likely never need to anything other than change the battery but if you ever do, they'll fix it for free. Also, I am not affiliated with Timex in any way. I'm just hopped up on the watch I just got and feel like writing a nice review about it.Highly recommended watch and happy to replace that $60 smartwatch. I was ready to get back to a real time piece.Nice choice!

I really liked the design of this watch. I bought it specifically for outdoor use, and I’m very pleased with its size and the strap. The strap has a clever little button that keeps the excess part from dangling, which is a nice touch. Overall, I’m very happy with the watch, especially considering the price I paid. The only downside is that it doesn’t have luminescence, so it’s hard to read the time at night. However, I was aware of this before purchasing, and since my main purpose is to use it outdoors during the day, it’s not a big issue for me. Great watch for the price!

I'm a big fan of Timex watches. I have 3 other Expedition models. They are cheap, stylish and functional. This purchase was the most expensive one yet. I wanted a chronograph style because nice to have a timer in the kitchen when I don't have phone handy.....and they look cool. But on this model, the hour and minute hands are the same color as the background markings making it hard to read at a glance. Why are they not painted orange like the sub dial indicators? The case is pretty thick too, but even at this price.....it is not an expensive watch, so can let that slide. I did end up keeping however. Again, I like the brand. Will probably get a classic Waterbury somewhere down the road.

Años usando este reloj y no falla por nada

Exelente

Bought this in May of this year when my normal every day watch was starting to lose time. Since we were; and still are; in the middle of the pandemic I couldn’t bring it in for service so I decided to get an inexpensive replacement for the time being. I thought that this watch would fit the bill so I ordered it.The watch does tell accurate time but the timer (chronograph/tachymeter) function is worthless as it really doesn’t keep track of any timing accurately past 30 minutes. Doesn’t even have rotating bezel as most others do. The hour and minute hands are extremely hard to read in the dark as they barely glow so you have to use the Indiglo function which is a pain to do every time you want to see the time at night.First time I accidentally bumped my hand into something it even put a tiny chip into the crystal (which I doubt is really even a mineral glass). I have more than a few watches and I’ve never had a scratch on any of the crystals, even after hard knocks and being dropped. They all run on batteries which need replacing. and that’s why I haven’t worn them.Haven’t been able to test water resistance abilities but I doubt they are any good.Last and worst of all was yesterday when I went to pull out the crown to adjust the calendar the whole stem pulled right out of the watch! Obviously it can’t be just put back in (I tried).Customer service is a joke. After a half an hour to be connected I was told I can download a few forms to fill out and then send it back for repair which would probably take a few weeks!So after 4 months of use I have a useless piece of garbage left and I’m still in the situation that I started with.Buyer beware.Update 2/17/21I ultimately did send this watch back to Timex for repair; not just for the chipped crystal but because when I was trying to reset time & date the entire stem pulled out of the watch!After a few months of this worthless piece of junk sitting on my desk I got sick of seeing it and decided to try sending it back for repair before the warranty expired. That of course led to more aggravation.My watch is currently making a world tour. I sent it to the Timex watch repair center in the US where it was then sent to the Philippines and is now in China! Besides the fact that this good old American company; whose logo used to be “ takes a licking and keeps on ticking ”; has to send their watches around the world to be repaired, I’ll have to worry about the possibility of COVID-19 exposure!I wonder if the watch is alcohol proof as I am most certainly going to wash it down with it.Presently I’m wearing a replacement for the replacement; a Casio Duro; which was 2/3rds the price, is water resistant to 200M, and has been extremely accurate.All I can say is stay away from Timex. If I could I’d give it negative stars!Update 2/21/21Watch still sitting in China and no response from Customer Service.

Beautiful watch! Love it.

I really like the watch, but a had a reaction to it, my wrist got red and started itching.The watch itself is very nice.
