Men's Expedition Digital CAT5 41mm Watch

I bought one of these just over two years ago. I have the "black/gray fast wrap" variety, and have been beating it to death. I wear it to work where it gets banged around, snagged on things, and generally abused six days a week. It still works fine, the face has held up well with just small scratches, and the velcro still holds perfectly (a concern I had at first). The fabric that holds the watch to the band has loosened some over time, but considering how often I'm yanking my hand around and snagging it, the fact that it still shows no risk of tearing is commendable. A few days ago, a chunk of the plastic bezel that holds the face down broke off, so I ordered a replacement. It *still* works fine, but now I'm afraid water will seep in on rainy days (I work outside). So I'll keep it as a backup watch until the battery dies. The thing just keeps going. It's a perfect size, too. The face is big enough for the display to be nice and clear, even for my older eyes, yet the watch isn't too big for someone like me who has a small wrist. The controls for setting things are dirt simple, something digital watches haven't always gotten right. I love the "indiglo" backlight, and the button is nice and big and right on top (but never accidentally presses). At the risk of sounding too generous, this is just about as close as you can get to a perfect product.

I bought this watch as a replacement for the one I've used for over 12 years and still works fine, but the replacement band not so much. These watches last for a long time, and they keep accurate time. I used the first one for years as a soccer referee, and it was light-weight and easy to use while running. I use it while working out, and I'm not afraid to use it in the rain (maybe not a deluge, but most "regular amounts" of rain prove no problem). It includes both a stopwatch and a countdown timer, and it has three different alarms. I highly recommend it.

Perfect watch! Easy to read, not too big, nice and light but not cheap feeling.

nice looking watch, band fits well and easy to put on and off, numbers large and legible, easy to use buttons. compass on band is useless, just cut it off. alarm and timer sound not loud enough

I originally purchased this wrist-watch at Wal-mart for about half the price currently listed; at the moment they seem to be having technical difficulties on their website. I love how comfortable and functional the watch is and most importantly it tells time accurately. I would really recommend this product to anyone and I find that the fact that it is made in the Phillipines is very interesting. I presume the popularity of 3-dimensional printing is going to make it easier to replace and create not only medical devices but also, parts on watches as well ad give designers the option and capability to re-create past models and it'll be interesting to see how manufacturers will prevent intellectual property from being stolen iternationally. Basically, an excellent watch for the price, I'd buy this watch again and I did but I happened to find the one I had lost (return process was simple and easy). I was even able to replace the battery for $10 which was over half the cost of the purchase price but it was well worth it, if you're on the fence concerning this purchase, I say go for it!

Nice good looking watch with a BIG face. Had to switch the strap, too short for my 18cm wrist.

We are dedicated Timex Expedition users - have been for decades. Tons of features, timers, alarms, chrono. Two time zones, for those who travel and/or have out-of-state/country relatives. Nite-Glo. Water resistance. Cons: The inner workings have changed over time. Over a decade ago I could change the battery and it still would function. Now it's hit or miss on battery replacement. Also, changing the battery breaks the seal, and water resistance is no longer guaranteed.

Timex Expedition has been my go-to for years. This is at least number seven, but it was DOA. The light doesn't work. How long was this sitting on the shelf, Amazon? Thing is, I have three Expeditions in the drawer already that keep time but don't light up anymore. Yes, I replaced the batteries. I don't need a brand new one that does the same thing. Make that four in the drawer - I also have a silver one to wear to church. I replaced that one because it finally quit. The replacement lights up brightly. The new Expedition however is not bright enough. You can read it in bright light, or in complete darkness with the light. But in dim light you cannot read it with or without the light. Take notice Amazon - I am tired of having to order two of everything to get one that works. I already buy everything I can at brick and mortar stores because I can see that it works. I couldn't find a Timex at Target so I came here. If I must order online, I have choices. I can order from you, Walmart, Best Buy or Kohls. Amazon Prime has nothing to watch unless I pay extra, so what's the point? Start managing your suppliers. Sears and K-mart have failed. You are not exempt.
