TimexExpedition Metal Field 39mm Men’s Analog Watch | Luminous Hands | 24 Hour Time | Quick Date Function | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 50M Water Resistance

Only a few days in, but I'm very happy with this watch. The case is substantial, it's easy to read the high contrast dial, and the crystal is glass, not plastic. I even like the machining grooves on the sides of the case. They also engraved the battery size and lug width on the back cover - first time I've seen that. I expect the fancy stitched leather band to wear out fairly fast, but in the meantime it looks great. Timex proves the power of mass production and good QC to make a watch this good at such a low price.

Unlike many of its Expedition brethren, the T47012 is QUIET. Whether you're camping out or just couch surfing, this timepiece provides Indiglo performance without a distractingly loud accompaniment. The brass case inspires more confidence in the stated 50m of water resistance than the resin cases of more recent versions. The leather band is nicely supple, immediately comfortable, and of better overall quality than you might expect at this price point. My one minor caveat is that while the wave pattern dial looks fantastic in normal light (one of the main reasons I chose this model), it interferes with the timekeeping legibility just a tad in Indiglo mode. Otherwise, I think this is the best Expedition in this price range, providing great value, quality, and performance.

This watch is quite and has a great function with indigo light. It is made of great quality it is very sturdy but lightweight which makes it comfortable with great features date, glow and dark on numbers makes it easy to function with at night. Very happy camper2 thumbs up

This review mainly serves as a reminder for people who may not look close enough before they place the order. This watch is a good watch and I receive a well-made product. Very comfortbale on wrist. Looks great. Very good value for its price.I am kind of a Timex fan, owning a few Timex watches for quite some years. One was bought in 2001 and just started not working last year. This Expedition's quality is just like all other Timex watches I own: care free, well-built for its price, and long lasting, which I believe this one will also be.The reason I am buying this Expedition is I need a field watch that is big enough. The spec of this Expedition is listed as 40mm case diameter and I thought that should be big enough. Turns out the dial looks quite small when you have it on your wrist.The photo is a comparison between Timex Easy Reader (35mm case diameter) and this Expedition (40mm case diameter). You can see their dial diameter are pretty much the same. After measuring it is around 30mm-31mm. The Arabic numerals on the Expedition actually are smaller than the Easy Reader. Well I guess that's why they name it the Easy Reader.All in all, this Expedition looks and reads time smaller than your typical 40mm watch. Mostly it is becasue the bezel/frame takes out quite some real estate of the 40mm diameter which I didn't pay attention to when I ordered.

Good value at the price. Keeps time perfectly. Looks nice. Band is of great quality but none of the holes matched up to my wrist size, so I replaced it with one of the velcro-type NATO style bands that Amazon sells for $6.99.

For those of us who don't need Rolex, or even Bulova, written across the face of our watch, this Timex is a great (and affordable) choice -especially if your work or hobbies result in physical perils for your watch. I bought this Timex to replace my former Timex- pretty much the same model. After nearly 20 years of hard use, the old one's christal was scratched to the point of being hard to read. I'd worn out about eight watch bands but the watch never gave me a problem.The new watch, when it arrived, was easier to read, its night light, superb. I expect the same long life from it as from previous Timexes. and its nice to have a new one. The watch is attractive with an excellent leather band, and I think it is easier to set than my previous one. Overall, I'm very pleased with my watch and of course, it's reasonable price.
