Timex Expedition Scout Men's 40 mm Watch

I love this watch - it has a really good heavy feel to it, and it feels like a much more expensive watch than it is. A decidedly different quality from the retail shop fashion watch I had bought - which cost £25 and lasted 2 months.I was worried this watch would look too large on my wrist (which is very small) but it doesn't; it looks the size of an average mans watch. The face is really clear, the cream colour has real depth, the matt black surround feels really substantial, and the matt black hands and numbers show up really clearly. The calendar lens with the date is quite small - I have to look carefully to see what it says. But the rest of it is so beautiful I will happily put up with that., The night light system is fantastic - I can even work out the time without my glasses on when I cannot see the numbers at all. The leather strap has an oiled leather look to it, and so far has proven to be very substantial, despite having been in the washing up water a few times. The strap is also malleable and very easy to wear. This is definitely not the Timex of my childhood, which had put me off them - I thought - forever. A really good buy, which has been commented on favourably many times,

Timeless Timex. Pretty much since being taught to tell the time I've worn a Timex except for a few years in the 80's wearing a Casio databank, who didn't in those days.Clear easy to read watch even with my failing eyes and no readers the hands are very easily legible.Would I buy one again? Of course, value for money, durability and even able to see the time with its built in light without looking at your phone when you're bursting for your 3am pee. Old age comes to us all if we're lucky enough.

This watch is really good , it ticks nicely , keeps time well , and has a really solid casing. It feels like it's been put together well and doesn't rattle at all. Even the mineral glass on it is alot more scratch resistant than my Swatch irony and my vostok komanderskie ( given that one uses acrylic ). The straps that come with it are comfy , but i prefer to use leather straps on it as it's a classy looking watch and I already own a diver for a sporty look.All this is good ;however, this watch has one thing that maybe a no no to some people . It basically ticks really loud and it can be audible in a quiet room . I live in a dorm and if the watch isn't in a box I can hear it tick , which can get annoying if you're trying to sleep .If you really want the watch for the time keeping and durability , then get it and get yourself a watch box or something that can dampen it's noise at night so you can sleep in peace.For its price , few watches compete with such quality or have a long heritage like Timex does. As a result , if you appreciate watches and want it for yourself or a gift , this is the perfect watch as a daily beater or a friendly gift gesture.UPDATE :I recently bought it NATO straps , and the ticking sound somehow dissapered . It might be the fsbric padding stopping the watch from making loud ticks. So , it's an easy fix it seems.

I have a small watch collection, including an Apple and a few more expensive ones. So I was looking for an inexpensive watch that I didn’t have to worry about when I’m doing gardening and other projects. At the same time, I wanted one that didn’t feel plasticky and unsatisfying to wear.I’m glad to recommend that the Timex Expedition fits the bill perfectly. Nicely weighted brass case (which feels substantial and much more expensive than it is), and a very crisp dial, I’m happy to wear it on any occasion.My wrist is about 19-20cm and the leather strap supplied fits me perfectly. With numerous colours to choose from, you can’t go wrong for a no nonsense but handsome daily watch.

Great looking timepiece, love the face, very clear and the back light is brilliant.The strap is really good quality leather and rugged looking.Very happy with the purchase so far.Delivered well packed and on time.

...this watch is so cheap.I bought this back in May of last year, so less than a year ago. Yesterday, the Indiglo function broke. The switch still works as there's a tiny portion of the watch that still illuminates at the bottom of the dial. I contacted Timex about a warranty repair and was told two to three months to have the work done!! It hardly seems worth it for a feature that I barely use, and one that, due to the oversized crown, I found myself unintentionally activating on frequent occasions. Talking of the crown, it is frustratingly easy to catch on everything from sleeves to bag straps - I wonder if this is the reason that so many reviewers complain that the crown simply broke off after a little while. Other than that, it's an okay watch, the strap stains fairly easily, the case gets scratched pretty easily too, but it looks okay despite this. It's smart and its cheap and I've had compliments about how nice it is, but the overall durability and practicality don't really impress. I don't think I'd go for another.

I looked for a watch that was easy to read without glasses, had light (indigo) , was smart looking, felt good, not expensive. This watch is just what I wanted. My other Timex Expedition ladted for almost 20 years. I highly recommend.

Its a great, light weight, sturdy watch.
