TimexExpedition Field Chronograph 43mm Men’s Analog Watch | INDIGLO Backlight | Durable Comfortable Adjustable Strap | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 100M Water Resistance

Style: T49905 - blk/blk/brown leather bandEasy to read, watch face is well laid out and I like the contrast of the numbers against the background. It's been a while since I had a watch with Indiglo so it was nice to see that again. However, with the white hands, it's a little tough to read in the dark when the backlight is on, though it does have glow in the dark hands.Watch has a heavy, quality feel to it. Well constructed, like it may take a knock or two. Much beefier than any of the previous Timex watches I've owned. I was concerned about the crown size and it hitting the back of my hand in certain positions but it seems to be fine. I feel it but it's not nearly as prominent as I thought.If you have bad eyes like me, it may be tough to read without glasses on.The band fits well after oiling the leather --- cuts down drastically on break-in time. It always seems like I'm right in between two of the settings so oiling will help the band stretch a little in the tighter position. The color is pretty light fresh out of the box and the thread contrast is pretty retro. I found that oiling it also helped sort of detune that a little bit. I'm always one of those types that has to mod something the second I take it out of the box or it just isn't going to work. Oiling the leather band was the trick. I was on the fence and considering ordering a different one until I took a few minutes and hand rubbed some leather oil in to get it much darker and more pliable. Super comfortable. And thick, too. Seems like it will hold on for a few years.I bought a "used" one for a slightly discounted price -- in this economy, ffs!? Arrived just fine, intact, no signs of having been worn, just out of its original box and returned. Arrived in a factory box on factory wrist holder for the band, instructions were included, and arrived with a fresh battery installed -- just need to remove the tab to engage time and start the watch.Also, register the lifetime warranty. You'll likely never need to anything other than change the battery but if you ever do, they'll fix it for free. Also, I am not affiliated with Timex in any way. I'm just hopped up on the watch I just got and feel like writing a nice review about it.Highly recommended watch and happy to replace that $60 smartwatch. I was ready to get back to a real time piece.Nice choice!

I really liked the design of this watch. I bought it specifically for outdoor use, and I’m very pleased with its size and the strap. The strap has a clever little button that keeps the excess part from dangling, which is a nice touch. Overall, I’m very happy with the watch, especially considering the price I paid. The only downside is that it doesn’t have luminescence, so it’s hard to read the time at night. However, I was aware of this before purchasing, and since my main purpose is to use it outdoors during the day, it’s not a big issue for me. Great watch for the price!

I'm a big fan of Timex watches. I have 3 other Expedition models. They are cheap, stylish and functional. This purchase was the most expensive one yet. I wanted a chronograph style because nice to have a timer in the kitchen when I don't have phone handy.....and they look cool. But on this model, the hour and minute hands are the same color as the background markings making it hard to read at a glance. Why are they not painted orange like the sub dial indicators? The case is pretty thick too, but even at this price.....it is not an expensive watch, so can let that slide. I did end up keeping however. Again, I like the brand. Will probably get a classic Waterbury somewhere down the road.

This is not a low light watch for people with compromised vision, but! It is still very functional. I've used the timing function multiple times, up to a 24 minute timing of an event, with full confidence, as I had a secondary timing device to verify. The 20th of a second pretty much matched up with the digital. Go figure, different fingers pushing the buttons, but still respectable!The lume is short lived, so don't plan to look for the hands a couple minutes after exposing it to light. It does work for a short time, so if you flash it with your LED flashlight, you'll see the hands for a bit.I bought the one with a black dial, so the Indiglo is "Muted" It has a Texture to the back-lite. You can find the hands with a bit of concentration. Don't plan to see the Chronograph second hand in the dark. It's not easy to find. Keep your flashlight handy. Not a big deal. TImng in the dark happens, but I don't have to do it that often. Depends on the Drill. (FF/EMR) I still give it a five, as it is a black dial! I'd be willing to bet a White dial would be brilliant!When you reset the chronograph, it's got a satisfying sweep to your zero point. I'll likely wear out the battery playing with it!There are instructions online to work with the hands of the timing function hands. Once you set them to their zero locations, your ready for the next go. Mine came with the minutes hand passed the 30 minute mark. A simple Crown set, and button push sequence put it back at the right start point. It's not defective, we just need to find the instructions at the main TImex site. Simple search, and your there!Four days, still spot on the time, AND it is HACKING! Set it right on, and it's holding. Well, it's quartz, so go figure. It's likely more accurate than my ISP. It's keeping with the internet time that I used to set my watch. So far, the only deviation might be me looking from the screen to set the seconds on the watch. I was a second late when I set it, and it's still right on.The water resistance is capable of swimming according to the back, but I don't plan to jump in the water with a leather wrist strap anyway. Washed my hands plenty while wearing it, so if that helps, it's likely to survive an unexpected dunking. I'll report back if I happen to fall off a boat.This Watch looks like a serious timing piece with that field watch vibe, and it's super comfortable. I'm a big boy, and it looks right at home on Farm-boy. Not much tail to tuck under the second band loop. This might be a bit much on a smaller wrist. If you can't lift an iron small block and throw it in the bed of the pickup, it might be a bit large on your wrist. Fits me fine, but your results may vary.Way to go Timex Philippines! (One of my favorite places!)
