Expedition Camper Men's 38 mm Watch

This is a good cheap watch for work or every day use .The fabric strap is very comfortable and fits perfectly as it should, the face is very easy to read but the date is very small and hard to read not a big deal really. Indiglo is superb but having had timex before I expected it to be. I paid £ 21 which frankly is a bargain.

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.

This watch was purchased as a special treat for a child who had recently learnt to tell the time. It was a gift and the recipient was delighted with it. Despite the one, I received having had a somewhat tatty box. The watch comes in a neutral colour and has a large face with big numbers; which are clear to read. The only issue is that the date can be found where the number '3' should be and this can be confusing for a child who is trying to gain confidence when telling the time and sees numbers above '12' on the watch (the date and time of day are in the same colour and font and almost of identical size). Still the hands are flourescent and the whole face lights up in the dark - so reading it's well past your own bedtime is possible. The strap is made of velcro so can be adjusted to fit a growing child's wrist but it would be better if it was made of plastic (as the watch is waterproof) so it doesn't need to be taken on and off: on and off all the time. Equally the straps can get dirty and cling on to dust/debris as your child is outside. Equally the band is somewhat uncomfortable especially if it does get wet. The watch is clearly not for a man - the strap isn't long enough - but the face is large and it can look a bit cumbersome on a child's arm. Still I like its simple, sleek design. Actually I like it being big and the watch looks robust and that it won't break or easily get damaged. Good as boys tend to be a bit rough..... All in all though it is a good watch at a reasonable price and from an average, well-known manufacturer. They are not outstanding and there are issues with the watch (where improvements could be made, that are simple and inexpensive) but good enough for the job. And if it gets lost, I wouldn't get to gloomy about it and would probably end us replacing it with same one.

Very good quality, elimination of whole deal good, comfortable on touch, excellent strap.

A nice little watch at a price the means you don't have to worry about bashing it. The 38mm size is misleading as this includes the little protrusions near the crown and on the opposite side. Without these it is only 36mm which suits my 6.75" wrist. The face is very clear so you can read the time at a glance. The hands have long lasting lume but obviously you have indiglo if it's very dark. My watch is loosing 3 seconds a week which is fine at this price point. I noticed that it lost more time if you use the backlight but this could be that the battery needs replacing as it arrived ticking and I no Idea how long it's been in storage. Strap is very comfortable and the whole package is as light as a feather. One thing that did impress me was that the second hand hits all the batons on the way round. I've paid more in the past for watches that can't manage that. You can sometimes here it ticking but it's not at the volume of the Weekender if you are familiar with that model. I'm very satisfied with this simple low priced watch. Only gripe; Timex, please pull the crown out before dispatch so that the watch arrives with a full battery.

This watch is one of the best value on the market. It has a simple, easy to view design with one of the best lighting systems there is. For the price I cannot think of a better purchase. I own several watches (including high-end names) and this I use as my day-to-day watch. It is good looking and it's straight forward, simple design mean it is elegant enough to wear with any outfit. It's rugged and waterproof, so I don't need to worry about what I'm doing with it. I simply put it on and go. The strap is durable and easy to put on and wear. That said, the size of the watch itself makes it very comfortable. Some watches can be too big and chunky or too small to be seen. This one gets it right. Being ex-military, with a good few years experience, this would make an ideal watch for Exercise or Operations.

Good watch. Back-light works well but strap not long enough. So have had to take original off and put a longer strap on. Even tight on my husbands wrist.

I bought this watch for hiking and camping. Tested in the Scottish Highlands overnight and up a mountain. It survived 2 very wet days, clambering against rocks and getting snagged on bags. Was really legible and the indiglo was really useful. A great beater watch for the price. I hated the strap it came with, too Action Man doll for my taste, so I replaced it with a cheap NATO strap and it looks WAY better
