Men's Expedition North Titanium Automatic 41mm Watch - Black Strap Black Dial Titanium Case

It's been said numerous times in many reviews, but this is 100% the best bang for your buck when it comes to this field watch. Keeps solid time, the build quality and materials used are fantastic, if you look for a higher end watch brand for something that is equal to what this watch has, you will be spending WELL over $1K+. I own a Hamilton Khaki field watch (manual wind), which I do love, but I wanted something that was mechanical/automatic, durable, keeps decent time, and has great water resistance (versus the Hamilton's measly "50M" water resistance and doesn't even have a anti-reflective layer on the glass). This watch hits all 4 on the head. I own a great variety of watches, from Hamilton, Seiko, Citizen, to G-Shock's and a few retro mechanical watches, and now my first Timex. G-Shock has been my go to for a daily beater/work watch (currently in the military) and something I can wear in wet environments or even swim in as there was not many field watch options (minus the expensive ones) I would feel comfortable wearing in a lake, river or ocean, let alone wear in heavy rain or have on in the shower. Again, the titanium case, sapphire glass with an anti-reflective layer, movement that has hacking, lume, watch strap, all are worth every penny in this price point. I changed the strap right away as I have always been a fan of NATO straps so that is what I have on it now but the one that came with it was comfortable. I have heard and kept an eye on Timex but there really wasn't anything that stuck out to me so I never bought into the brand, but once this came out and finally got it in my hands, I am glad I kept tabs on them as this is everything I have been looking for in a field watch. Some review's I have read say the rotor is loud, which compared to higher end movements, yes it is but it doesn't bother me any. The other issues I read were about quality control and time keeping issues. I hope that those have been worked out as I have not had any of those issues and as far as time keeping goes, after 7-8 days go by I usually gain between roughly 10-20+ seconds, which, again at this price point is fine and totally manageable. I adjust my watch weekly anyway with the online atomic clock or with one of my multi band 6 G-shocks. I will drop an update 6ish months down the road or sooner if something catastrophic happens to where I would remove my recommendation for this time piece. All in all, if you're looking for a do it all solid field watch, just buy it, you are definitely getting more for what you're paying (I paid $220).

I read a lot of other reviews first, and this watch is nicer than I thought it would be. For 220 bucks, it's a STEAL. Some things to note: the auto-wind is no louder than my Seiko 5. I do hear it, but the strap is actually noisier - the leather creaks a bit where the strap loops are. This doesn't bother me and is no different than any other background noise. It's lightweight - a little lighter than the Seiko in the photo but not by much. Lume is good - a little better than the Seiko. BPM is a little less than the Seiko, so the sweep is not quite as smooth, but it's close enough. Aesthetically I like it a lot. The textured dial and raised hour markers look nice and are easy to read, and the grey Ti is sweet. Power reserve is meh - not great; not terrible. Seems like 36 hours or so. Lastly this watch with the stock strap will fit a huge range of wrist sizes. 6in (or maybe less) up to about 8, based on my measurement.

Unbelievable value buy (sold here $100 off MSRP). Titanium, saphire crystal, automatic movement is basically unheard of in a budget (sub $300) watch market. Maybe with some boutique direct to consumer brands, but that's a lot more of a gamble than Timex. Looks great, sized perfect (for men's watch), lightweight, shock proof, 200m water proof. What else do you need? A replacement band! The cheap/recycled leather is awful. Just awful. I wish you had an option to save money and purchase the watch without the strap altogether. You can find a nice comfortable silicone replacement here for around $20 (sport-minded) Or go all out and get fancy leather or bracelet quality for dress attire. You chose. Side note: I see other reviewers comment on time accuracy (or lack their of). This is not what this watch is for. Let's be real. This is a budget analogue watch with durability to boot. You want accuracy? Get a smartwatch! I wear both. Problem solved.

I really like the look of this watch, it’s good blend of modern adventure and a vintage field watch. It is thick, not heavy or noticeable being titanium but it’s beefy compared to others watches it compared to. Fit and finish is great. I thought titanium would show more wear, it’s holding up well. I really like the textured face and the lume is great too. I thought it looked better with a nato strap but the stock strap was comfortable. I don’t know what normal is but compared to a NH35 movement watch I have this Timex has a noticeably loud automatic winder movement. I notice it when driving, I’ll put my left hand on the wheel and I can hear it clearly spinning away. I’m thinking titanium may be louder than steel??

Great watch at this price point! Lightweight titanium 41mm case is large but not bulky. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal, exposition caseback, bold lume on the easy-to-read watch hands. Standard strap isn’t bad but I changed mine to a robust cordura nylon strap and it’s now the perfect field watch. I’m a ship captain and I need a rugged, reliable watch that’s easy to read in all lighting conditions. This one checks all the boxes. Strongly recommended!

I do love this watch. It’s lightweight, looks nice, feels durable, and is for the most part exactly what I wanted. There is one glaring problem that causes me to give it only 3 stars: It runs fast. Every week, I’ll be as much as 5 minutes ahead of where I set it. Why that is, I have no idea, but it happens every single time. If it weren’t for that, I’d give the watch 5 stars.

Good quality, clean design, fast delivery. What more can u ask. Movement is great.

Relógio ótimo. Super leve e super resistente. Uso sem medo na praia e ele parece novo ainda.

good one to buy

I was looking for a nice uncluttered field watch which was automatic, black dial, decent lume and a minimum of 40mm diameter. The Timex ticks all the boxes very well and looks and wears well as it does. If anything, it does gain time, which really isn't a huge issue and is easy to adjust. As others have said, the strap is ok, but was never going to stay on my one, which was changed out for a NATO version, which I think, looks much better. The lume will last long enough for what I need, with the hands performing better than the numerals. The big bonus for me, was that this watch sells for £300.00 on the Timex website, this one came in at £202.00, so it is well worth it at that money. I'm delighted with it.

Really impressed with this titanium timex automatic watch. Beautifully made, looks fantastic, great leather strap and keeps perfect time. Highly recommended.
