Timex Men’s Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

Sharp looks, great features and insane value
This is a good-looking watch. The looks are true to the WWII aesthetic that inspire many watch designs today from affordable to top-tier. Modern manufacturing provides quality and value that’s on par with much more expensive watches. The robust and quality leather band surprised me. It’s all wearing well and the push-button Indiglow feature lights up the entire watch face. And water resistant to 50m to boot! I’m a pretty demanding/picky shopper and I just keep looking at this and thinking wow. Highly recommended. The 40mm case seemed a little large at first but I’ve gotten used to it and it provides numbers large enough to easily read with a glance.

Great Casual Watch
Great watch, stylish, comes in many different colors. Perfect for everyday wear. Has date and military time, plus an indigo backlight button for lowlight scenarios. Decent strap, comfortable for me. I have smaller wrists and it fits fine. So far it holds up, no scratches yet and keeps on ticking. Only downside is it comes with no manual, had to look it up. You have to pull the dial which has three positions to set time, date, etc.

A Great Lightweight Watch for Everyday Use
This is a great lightweight watch for everyday use. I own an expensive watch with all the gizmos, with a metal bracelet band. Although I really like it, it is pretty heavy. I also found that I really never used all the multiple features. I therefore searched for another watch that would look really nice and just give me the time and date, the only features that I actually use. I concentrated on finding a Timex watch because of its decades-long reputation, and it’s reasonable prices. Timex has so many choices of colors and wrist bands, I ended up spending hours searching and I learned a lot.I noted two complaints. First, that the date feature is very, very small and is hard to read. I agree.it is ridiculously small. After so many complaints about the size of the date feature, I would think Timex would redesign this feature to be equal to other brand watch date sizes. But this alone wasn’t a deal breaker for me. Second, I read complaints about the acrylic crystal that covers the face easily scratched. I discovered that on Amazon there are two main Timex listings. One listing has mineral crystals, which are high quality, traditional, and less likely to scratch. And the other listing has choices of watches with acrylic (plastic) crystals. I imagine that the mineral crystals are for watches manufactured before Timex found a way to cut costs and started to primarily use acrylic crystals. Hey, Timex, stop cutting costs and maintain your quality reputation!I also saw a couple of complaints that the second hand ticking was very loud and distracting. My Expedition watch’s second hand is completely silent. This person must have purchased a different Timex watch that isn’t quartz and uses a battery.My leather band is very comfortable and has several notches to fit almost anyone’s wrist size.Finally, I would encourage Timex to expand their selection of solar powered watches. Although they cost more, one never needs to change a battery.Overall, I am very happy with my Timex watch. it’s a quality watch with basic features, and you can’t beat the price.

Like the indiglo

Love this watch. Reasonable size, not too heavy (for a man), easy to read, somewhat simple utilitarian stylish and has a lighted dial with a push of the watch stem. Getting the time easily in dim light is a real bonus, without dragging out your cell phone. Timex watches are tried and true. One thing I don’t like – it seems impossible to get a similar watch with a durable hardened glass crystal vs a hard plastic as this watch – they scratch up in time with someone engaged in heavy working. But to get this feature, watches are usually divers style, heavy, complex to read, large and very expensive. So with this watch, its a super value and I am quite happy.
