TimexMen's Expedition Digital CAT5 41mm Watch

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.

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!

Great watch so far. I am very happy with this. I bought this so I didn't have to wear my smart watch on my cruise. I really liked the size and the quality of the band. I wear it when I go swimming still.

The watch itself is great. It has a comfortable strap. Accessing functions is fairly easy. Great illumination and I really like that it has a vibrating alarm. I do short dives in the ocean (not that deep as it's freediving) and it holds up well. The only complaint is the compass is lightly affixed to the strap and easily pops off. Mine came off when rinsing the salt water off it after the second use. But I've been using it for a while now and no other issues. Recommend investing in something more rugged if you're planning on extrenuous activities. Definitely wouldn't trust it as your sole compass (it's more like a kids toy compass).As for sizing, I'm a petite woman with slim wrists. The men's 40mm fits comfortably and doesn't look like I'm wearing a dinner plate on my wrist.

Very nice watch i love the fact that is thin a Very great quality

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.

The tiny compass is worthless. Compass does not point true north and is so small you need a magnifying glass to see it. The watch band is a rubber type band that looks good but makes my wrist sweat. I took the watch band off and used an older 2 inch wide military strap type watch band that fits better and covers the watch so it does not get scratched. The Expedition watch is the same type of watch that I have used for many years. I don't buy any other type of watch. It has two time zones, stop watch, and it lights up to see at night but turns off after a few seconds so you don't waste the battery or the light. My old expedition watch that I still use and have had for many years has had the battery replaced only once. The light doesn't work any more but it is still a reliable watch and everything else besides the light works. This is the reason I bought the same type of watch again so that the new one can be used as a dress watch and can take me to at least 2065. I do recommend the Expedition watch without the compass. The price is very budget friendly.

This is my go to watch. So glad they still make this model as I have been buying it for at least 20 years and each one has lasted me for many years. At least 5 plus each. It's still the same basic watch, but this one is a little nicer as the numerals are just a bit larger and the Indiglo light now lights the numerals instead of the background. Very nice feature and easier to read at night. Love the fact that it still has 2 time settings, a chrono & timer as well as three alarms and works exactly the same as every one I have purchased from the beginning so many years ago. Nothing new to learn. Also very durable. I'm very hard on my watches and these hold up to abuse.
