Men's Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

I bought this watch as I work in a very busy unit that monitors multiple screens of patients EKG and respiratory status. We record our calls and the time of them to alert staff to changes and potentially dangerous findings. Its vital to have a watch that keeps good time and even more vital to have a watch that's extremely easy to read in ALL lighting conditions. This one does both, at a price that was surprisingly good. Pressing the crown lights the dial and is very easy to see in dim light. HIghly rated for its visibility alone. This is NOT a solar watch, it has a replaceable battery. But I gladly make that trade for the wonderful visibility that requires just the quickest glance to tell the time. Additionally the watch seems to be well made, it's heavier than the typical digital watch. The leather band also seems thick and sturdy. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this watch and feel it was great value for the price. At the time I registered my watch on the Timex website they even included a lifetime warranty. Granted that's not a massive issue with a relatively economical watch, but it does speak to the confidence the company has in their product. As noted the watch does have some weight to it. And it probably is not the best watch for someone who wants a small watch. Neither of those factors were important to me. I've gotten compliments on this watch and it is good looking imho.

The Quality was exactly the standard that timex set for the most affordable, most durable, most useful, most attractive watches in the industry. I've owned this one since 2022. I have to say it's all of the above WITH ONE EXCEPTION: The Indiglo never worked from the moment I took it out of the box. I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was another diluted standard brought on by the corporate enshitification so pominent in the world today. I WAS WRONG! For under 35$, who cares? It's 2025 and I'm buying another one. I put this thing through hell. I work on Industrial Refrigeration and Mechanical Infrastructure. I'm rough on everything I own and my hands and arms are exposed to 130 degree F Condesner relief temps regularly, 170 degree F Asphalt Equipment Pads (on which I stand for hours in the direct sunlight) in 115 degree F Ambient air temps all while keeping track of timing of sequences of operations, using My Timex as my number-one tool for keeping track of that kinda stuff. Diagnosis would not happen without it. Accuracy: Hmm. a little behind the iphone weekly or monthly; loses about 5 minutes a month? maybe less. Either way, when I was trying to set it to the current time the other day, I pulled the crown right out of the watch to try and set the time. I put it back in and committed to purchasing another one. The crown is still in there, the watch still is keeping time (more slowly) and I just can't update the time it has lost. So in a month or so from now, it will be too far behind the actual time to be useful for me. Very well worth the cost! UPDATE: two months after purchasing the new watch, the indiglo stopped working when I needed in my sleep last night. I have contacted timex. I'll update this review once I get a robo-response from them.

Fits perfect and does not bulge above my 7.5” wrist, simple but pleasant dial that is super easy to read just by a quick glance. Nice meaty crown that’s easy to grab and turn. The backlit display is simply amazing. Seems to keep time well. Three negatives: lugs are 20mm; the strap that comes with it is cheap; the crown should be at the 4 o’clock position to prevent unwanted pushing on it and activating the backlight by bending my wrist. All in all, a good everyday watch with nice features that is still affordable.

Much better quality than I expected at this price point! I got this as a beater, it seems it will do the job! Nice finish and weight. Looks tough, great looking lume! I did NOT like the strap, so I replaced it, much better. Well worth the money!

Great, simple, affordable field watch. I did just a little bit of research and snagged this one with a slight discount, but Amazon is already much cheaper than Kohls or Walmart from what I've seen. Tip: If you're trying to decide which Timex field watch you want, go look at them in person. The sizes vary wildly, and pictures don't really do well showing that. I love the size and look of this one. It keeps great time, wears thin and feels very comfortable. The band is a little bit weird, but I'm a little OCD. I can't complain for a watch at this price point, but I may upgrade to a different band at some point. The little band keepers that keep the band tucked are some sort of plastic and are a little too big, so the moveable one tends to slide around and that bugs me. It's really not a big deal. But for even another $5 or $10, I'd like to see Timex make this band just a little more refined. I still gave it 5 stars due it it's value and overall quality. I'd buy this one again without hesitation.

Great watch. Keeps time to within seconds per month. It does have a bit of a loud tick, but I only hear it occasionally, not a big deal for me. Seems to be pretty rugged. I work construction and can be hard on a watch. So far this watch still looks new.

Love this watch. The face of it is so easy to read even in low light. The simple classic design looks great. Water isnt an issue or hasn't been yet anyways. Has been submerged and been fine. Already a few oil and grease stains on the band from working on my tractors but that is too be expected with my lifestyle. It adds "character". The date and time are super easy to set and theres no steps to go through that'll surely be forgotten twice a year for dst. The backlight is excellent. Just how I remember one of my dad's Timex watches being back in the mid 90s. My only complaint, and its a slight one, is I wish the crown was on the left od slightly recessed. I wear my watch on my left hand and the crown digs in a bit if you are doing chores or working with it on. Not a deal breaker as most watches seem to have the crown on the right. I love this watch.

Got this on sale for a little over $30, and it easily hits well beyond that. The dial is highly legible and the font on the legends is quite nice. The orange on the seconds hand is a good contrast to the rest of the watch. The illumination is great and easy to activate. The stainless steel case feels sturdy, just like a field watch should feel. The only thing I'm iffy on is the eco friendly strap, but it's been 2 weeks and it seems to be holding up okay for now. For sizing, I have a 6.75" wrist, which is on the smaller side. The case is a bit on the larger size for my wrist size, but it's at the upper limit of what I'm personally willing to accept, so I can't complain. This is definitely more of an out and about sort of watch. It's something you can throw around and not worry about it getting smashed up. Casio and Timex excel at making watches like this. I wouldn't say its as versatile as my other watches, and I wouldn't wear this while trying to dress more elevated. That's not what this watch is meant for anyway. Now onto the main con. This watch is loud. I can hear it right now while it's on my desk. I can hear it on my wrist in between keystrokes while typing at the office. I actually don't want to put this on my nightstand because I'd hear it in my nightmares. I think me and a lot of watch lovers actually enjoy listening to how different watches tick, but being able to do it at arms length is a little overboard. Thankfully, I don't spend a ton of time in quiet environments and I don't keep my watches in the bedroom, so I don't have to deal with this problem very often.
