Men's Expedition Camper Nylon/Leather Strap Watch

Great watch for the money. I wanted a good quality no frills watch for work and everyday use. Easy to read and looks good.

I purchased this watch 4 months ago to hold me over while I weigh whether or not I want to invest in a far more expensive watch... I thought I might only wear this watch occasionally, but it quickly became my daily wear. I love the way it looks and didn't care much about anyone else's opinion... And then someone mistakenly guessed this watch was a Hamilton Khakis Field, which is at least 10x more expensive, so that is high praise! Great size on my wrist, comfortable, and love the Indiglo. My 2.5 year old daughter loves the Indiglo and the relatively loud ticking as well! Overall, great watch!

I received my Timex Men's T49713 Expedition Camper watch in two days using Amazon Prime. It is exactly as pictured, though the face is slightly smaller than I expected. Everything works perfectly and the legendary Timex Indiglo works great when the lights go out. The calender numbers are not illuminated, however. A few folks mentioned loud ticking, but I live in Houston and can't hear it unless I put the watch against my ear. ;) Many complained about the length of the nylon mesh band. I'm a big guy and the band fits fine, but normally these bands are longer. You can buy longer "normal" mesh bands for just a few bucks, though, so no biggie. Just a word of caution for folks who haven't worn mesh bands before. After a few months, it soaks up sweat and whatnot and can get pretty smelly. Eventually you need to wash or replace these critters, especially if you wear it while working. The Timex back says it is water resistant to 100 meters (300 feet). I hope this is true; my last (non-Timex) watch leaked like a sieve despite the water resistant claim. I'll update if I ever have a problem. This is a good, affordable and lightweight watch; just what I was looking for. -------------------------------------- UPDATE! O.K., I've been wearing this watch occasionally for the last couple of weeks and the watch crystal has already collected several scratches. I haven't even been particularly active; the Timex watch crystal is made of very soft plastic. Also, the battery died within ONE month! Easily replaced, but still . . . Removing one star.

It's been durable and works great.

Although I have a few watches I was looking for something that was more camping specific. Something that was EASILY legible to my 56 year old vision - both in daytime and night. I needed it to have some waterproofness ability as I would also using it for kayaking. I had a Timex Expedition watch with a black dial that I gave to my son as I wanted one with a white face which I find easier to read. I gave this watch some serious consideration after seeing so many YTbers give Timex field watches the thumbs up. I came upon this model and then when I saw one available under $30 it became a no-brainer! I used it recently for its intended purpose - a 3 day camping weekend. So here are my observations. The strap is probably the only negative to the watch for me as I have big hands and need to undo it completely to feed the strap through the buckle. A minor hindrance. Once its on it's light and comfortable. I may eventually change out the strap...or I may not. The watch is easily legible and nothing, I MEAN NOTHING, beats Timex's "Indiglo" feature for nighttime. Forget "watch lume" as nothing is a visibly legible at nights as "Indiglo". I have a Casio watch that has a light feature but that cannot hold a candle to this watch's nighttime ability. On a kayak trip, I overturned the kayak and the watch was in the water so it held up nicely for that. The watch is rated for 100M so that was nothing for it I know. It's hard to find a watch that does so much at this price point. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for the features that it has in an inexpensive package.

The perfect watch for my eyes. White background with black hour and the second hand. Standard stuff… It’s all about the simple things that matter to me. The indigo green light might not appeal to everyone (look at the price). The band is fabric with Velcro to adjust. I’ve work this watch day and night. A near perfect fit. Easy to adjust and it’s comfortable for me, the look is just right for me. A no brainer to set up immediately. Time (?) will tell about minute creep or over all durability, A nice affordable watch that I I’ll wear everyday under all conditions. If I loose it I’ll buy another one.

Swore I’d never buy another timex years ago they just didn’t keep good time. But this one appealed to me , I wanted a daily beater and it was inexpensive. Bottom line it’s loaded with features , also has a 24 hr dial, you can hack it, it’s back lit, it’s a quarts and it has the date and keeps great time. The only caution is the band which may be too short for a large man.

仕事用サブとして購入、 作業時時計の脱着が頻繁な為、探してました。 長所 ナイロンベルトでマジックテープ式で簡単に脱着出来る 着ける腕の太さに関係なく、好みの遊び（ユルメ・キツメ）に調整可能 プラケースで軽量、着け心地良しです 「インディグロナイトライト」バックライトは非常に見やすい 10気圧防水付 飽きないシンプルなデザイン 短所 マジックテープの寿命（まだ不明） 夜光は長針と短針のみで数字にはない 風防がアクリルで傷つきやすい カラーバリエーションが少ない 私には価格・使い勝手ともに良い買い物で星5個でした。

It’s a good watch for the price, ticking is very loud but i like it. The strap is good but I changed it for a raf strap (single pass nato). The springbar sit very low on the lug so it fits nato’s very well.

I really like this watch! First and foremost, I like it because of its comfort. Unlike most watches, the metallic base has a fabric underside, so instead of a cold metal feeling on your wrist, you have a soft feeling of fabric that leaves you barely noticing touch-wise that you have a watch on at all, which is great. Secondly, the watch is extremely accurate, easy to adjust, and does not lose time quickly at all. Thirdly, the watch not only looks nice, but feels durable, meaning that you can wear it in various places without worrying about damaging it. That is not to mean that it cannot be damaged, but rather that its appearance is such that it doesn't really matter if it suffers some scrapes here and there, for it has the look of an everyday, hardy watch anyway. It is lightweight, but not too light, and I can simply say that it is very comfortable to wear. There are additional features that are useful, such as the glow in the dark feature, as well as the date window. I find that the latter is highly accurate, the watch keeping the correct date regardless of what time of the day you adjusted it. My only criticism is that the watch's tick is slightly too loud for my ideal tastes, but that is only if you are wearing it in an otherwise silent room. During day to day activity I do not notice the ticking at all.

Ich habe lange überlegt, ob ich sie mir kaufen soll. Hatte zuvor gelesen, dass das Uhrwerk relativ laut ticken soll und dass das Armband evtl. Ein wenig kratzig ist. Alle Bedenken waren völlig unnötig. Bin zu 100% zufrieden mit der Uhr. Für diesen Preis wirklich schön verarbeitet. Wer auf Metallgehäuse und verschnörkelte Details Wert legt, hat hier ja noch eine Menge alternativen. Die Uhr erfüllt ihren Zweck sehr gut. Das Ticken finde ich sogar sympathisch und es ist keinesfalls störend. Das Armband fühlt sich wertig an und gibt der Uhr auch ihren Outdoor touch. Da das Gehäuse aus Resin oder sowas ist, vergisst man sie sogar am Handgelenk weil sie schön leicht ist. Die INDIGLO Beleuchtung ist eine tolle Sache. Natürlich haben viele andere Uhren auch Beleuchtung... Aber das komplett und gleichmäßig beleuchtete Zifferblatt hat für mich etwas besonderes. Gerade bei so einem einfach aussehenden Klassiker. Ich finde die nachleuchtenden Zeiger auch sehr schön. Selbst der Sekundenzeiger ist nachleuchtend. Das habe ich bisher bei keiner meiner Uhren. Mein Fazit: Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen und habe sie auch schon weiter empfohlen. Wer es klassisch mag und sich an kleinen bzw einfachen Details erfreuen kann, hat hiermit eine tolle Uhr zum vernünftigen Preis gefunden. Viel Spaß damit :)
