Men's Expedition Field 43mm Chronograph Watch

This is a long way from being my most expensive watch but it is right up there with being one of the good looking watches and it is a serious chronograph the second hand that runs all the time is at the 6:00 position and the large sweep hand only runs when you are timing something, many have the recorded seconds on one of the sub dials which makes them difficult to read reliably. The watch will time up to 30 minutes to an accuracy of 0.05 seconds. It is a lovely looking watch that is reasonably waterproof and comfortable to wear. The nice leather strap is a bit of luxury and on top of all this, it has a night light for telling the time in the dark. It's a great watch and excellent value for money.

Beautiful watch, the sub dials make it a bit hard read but that's the design and the look is pretty stunning. The strap is quality suede/leather and matches the look perfectly. Fits well on the wrist and is a perfect everyday casual watch that looks good and a lot more expensive than it actually is. Well worth the cost.

This watch feels very hefty, especially if you’re used to cheap resin cased casios. Everything is made of stainless steel treated to look black, and you can really tell. I expected the bezel and crystal to get pretty scratched up as I’m not the most carful with my watches, but they have actually survived well. In fact I haven’t gotten a single scratch on the crystal and not for lack of trying, the bezel deflects anything coming towards it pretty well. The dial looks great but the luminous material is really bad, this is not a problem though because you can push in the crown and the whole dial lights up, it looks class. The chronograph runs well, it’s not the best thing in the world but it does the job, but sadly the big second hand was not aligned to a marker on my watch. This is not abnormal for these watches when they arrive, you can move the hands when the chronograph crown is out using the pushers but my chronograph second hand was in fixable using this method. I did have one other issue with the watch, I dropped it a very short distance onto carpet and the seconds hand fell off, this was my fault and I sent it into a watch maker and he fixed it for £10 in about an hour. I also got him to realign the chronograph second hand. Now my watch looks great and I love wearing it. For the price this watch is as expected, in a world of cheap consumer electronics being made from plastics and not being made to last I feel this watch tries to not be disposable in that way. If you like the look of it then it’s worth buying.

This is a truly fanctasic watch! I took this watch on a 7 month trip around the world last year Doing nine county's in total from wet tropical weather to freezing cold mountainous weather and it really took a beating! You can get this thing wet and I mean wet I did one hell of a lot of snorkelled and shallow free Diveing easly going down 15 ft under water and it handled it just fine. One thing I will say is I accidentally left the time dial out before swimming on day and water got in so make sure the dail is not open before you go to swim (this is something that rairly happens haha i silly mistake on my part) I was sent a new one when I got home and still wear it on any holiday and out door endeavours! Fishing, hiking, boating etc... I fully recommend this watch to any outdoors man And like I said this thing can haddle the water well full thumbs up from me 👍

TLDR: Avoid like the plague! I’ve owned a number of Timex watches over the years including an older, basic Expedition model, and my opinion was that they were decent, reasonably accurate watches for the money. So on that basis I ordered this model. This Expedition 43mm chronograph changed my opinion. I’ve tried three of these watches now and all three had to be returned due to poor timekeeping. Before unpacking a watch I performed a basic test - set the time to match a radio clock I have and leave it for 24 hours. To be within manufacturers specs. it must not gain or lose more than about half a second per day (+-20 sec. per month). All three passed this test. Watch no. 1 was unpacked and strapped to my wrist. Three hours later and it was running 20 minutes slow. The watch was duly repacked and returned and a replacement ordered. Watch no. 2 lost about 5 seconds per hour when on my wrist - way outside manufacturer specifications - so it was duly repacked and returned. Watch no. 3 randomly lost 5 seconds while still packed in its box. By now I’ve lost confidence in this particular Timex model so, since I got it on try before you buy, I just returned it without even unboxing it. So my experience suggests that Timex have really gone downhill with their quality and reliability. It’ll be a long time before I again consider buying a Timex watch. In fact the quality is so poor that the question “are these REALLY genuine Timex watches?” springs to mind. It’s a shame because I think it’s a nice looking watch.

Recieved a birthday voucher fom a friend, saw this watch & really like the Altimeter look of it, its weighty, looks great & will remind me of the kind gestue from a long time friend. Been wearing for a couple of weeks all seems fine the strap feels noce & comfortable, seems to be keeping time correctly, (we have a radio controlled clock that self corrects) it has stayed in time with that. A few people have commented on how "Designer" it looks I am very happy with it, no problems so far. So yes based on my experience so far I would recommend.

Nice watch for decent price

The first watch I was sent I returned as the Indiglo was not functioning. The watch itself is great, and easy to read. Looks nice and for the price you can't really complain. The chronograph is much much quieter than the standard Timex tick so all okay there. Upon receiving the replacement, I noticed there were quite a few differences in the watches and am quite confident that the first sent may have not been genuine. Firstly the watch had no "E" markings that can be found on the watch (for Expidition), and secondly the crown didn't move inwards at all, suggesting the crown wasn't made to be used with Indiglo, or was improperly installed. The case finish was also showing very obvious brush strokes as if the finish had been applied poorly, and you could see bits of the metal beneath the coating. The coating was also much glossier than the second watch.

Klockan ska ha något som heter Indiglow. Belysning från urtavlan. Den fungerar inte. I övrigt fungerar klockan.

Very pleased. Considering the dimensions, I worried this would be too big (7inch wrist) but it looks really great. I think it would be fine on a 6.5 inch wrist and up. Band is super comfortable, and watch feels much higher quality than I paid. My only complaint is that the 3rd extra dial for 1/20th chrono time is kind of stupid and unnecessary. Would be better to have a day of the week dial here instead. Overall great watch and definitely recommend.

I had this same watch (different colors) a few years ago. (I like chronos because I used to need them for darkroom work and wearing chronos is now my habit.) I wanted an inexpensive reliable accurate watch *with the backlit face* and getting another of these was easy--I didn't have to wade through all the available Timexes. Though let me say: I do not know why this "Indiglo" system isn't used in every battery-powered watch on earth. It's a GREAT feature. So in summary, like several other Timex "Expedition" watches I've owned is (just now; can't predict future) a really great buy at the price; it is, as I said, also reliable and accurate; just as JCS used to say when I was a lad, "A Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking!" :-) I manage to kill these watches over a few years each, but I really am hard on these watches. (I treat my Omegas and LeCoultres with much more care.) So: great bargain, great watch at the price. In conclusion, Venezuela is a land of contrasts. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Conoscevo la marca in quanto possessore di altri modelli ed acquistando questo cronografo da polso sono andato praticamente sul sicuro, i prodotti Timex sono infatti abbastanza noti nel mondo in quanto la casa produttrice rifornitrice il mercato con orologi di ottima qualità dal prezzo super accessibile e molto aggressivo nei confronti della concorrenza. L'orologio si contraddistingue per il suo design: semplice, minimal, proprio come piace a me, e designato con materiali visivamente validi (ed indubbiamente anche duraturi) che donano all'accessorio un tocco di classe in più. Sebbene appaia molto "classico", può essere utilizzato in egual misura per eventi più casual o addirittura sportivi poiché il suo stile si amalgama bene con qualsiasi tipo di outfit. Adoro il fascino delle lancette analogiche, adoro scrutare il loro movimento che scandisce il passare delle ore in maniera armoniosa facendomi riscoprire la bellezza degli orologi da polso di solida qualità. La confezione è arrivata in condizioni perfette ed è fornita del necessario per presentare l'orologio egregiamente, rendendolo dunque adatto come regalo nel caso fosse quella l'intezione dell'acquirente, l'unica pecca del pacchetto è la mancanza di un libretto di istruzioni che però online si trova davvero facilmente. Il modello T49905SU della Timex è un gioiellino in tutto e per tutto. In termini di costruzione, ogni pezzo è adagiato al suo posto perfettamente e funge all'interno del meccanismo senza manifestare alcuna titubanza, c'è decisamente molta cura dietro il processo di fabbricazione dell'oggetto. In termini di qualità, nello specifico per quanto concerne i materiali con cui è realizzato, non ci si può lamentare per il prezzo a cui è messo in vendita l'articolo, l'orologio dispone di un cinturino marrone di vera pelle con chiusura a fibbia e di una cassa dalle dimensioni non troppo contenute realizzata in ottone con copertura del quadrante in cristallo minerale resistente ai graffi. E' bello e funziona a dovere, impressionante, ma non avevo dubbi! Dopo un mese di utilizzo assiduo l'orologio si mostra ancora in condizioni eccellenti e non è afflitto da alcun tipo di problema, in aggiunta per rassicurarvi posso confermare che l'oggetto è coperto da garanzia per due anni. Sono molto soddisfatto del mio acquisto, dal vivo il cronografo rende maledettamente bene e molto più che in foto, lascio 5 ⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐ stelle dal momento che sono rimasto incantato dalla bellezza di questo orologio ma in realtà avrei voluto valutare il prodotto con una stelle in meno in quanto all'interno della confenzione non è disponibile l'opuscolo che reputo fondamentale per impostare ed apprendere le varie funzionalità.

Superbe montre, livrée même plus rapidement que prévu (deux jours d'avance). Le bracelet est d'un marron plus clair en vrai que sur la photo, l'emballage est juste parfait, avec la notice d'utilisation et la garantie. La notice est à téléchargée sur le site de Timex avec la référence de la montre. Elle a son poids mais est très agréable à porter. Elle est magnifique, la lecture des cadrans est instinctive. Ils sont lisibles et offrent un cachet à cette montre. Je la recommande sans hésiter, à voir maintenant avec les années... RETEX après quelques mois: La montre est résistante aux chocs de la vie de tout les jours, une des lanières qui permet de maintenir le réglage du bracelet se détend un peu, rien de méchant. J'ai recalé une seule fois les aiguilles. Très bonne montre, atypique; vous n'en verrez pas souvent !
