daily wearwatch, this looks ~so~ much better than just about ...
For an simple, functional, daily wear watch, this looks ~so~ much better than just about every watch I looked at (at least 30 different models.) I instantly loved it and have not stopped wearing it since it arrived. The colors go well with just about everything you can imagine, the off-white face with black details is easy to read (with or without the light), the date is large enough to be read without ruining the overall design, and the clean lines of the case present a quite refined look.This is a traditional sized men's watch, so be sure to check the diameter of the case before you order. Large watches have been in vogue for some time (no further comments) but this is the same size as the couple of old watches I have that date back to the late 70's and early 80's.The band is a padded leather with an imprint on one side (a stylized E) which feels nice, even on warm days. I have not seen any staining or discoloration of the leather with normal wear, although it's not the highest quality leather out there. The band is of standard design, so you'll be able to get a different color or style easily (not all watches use a standard band design, so be ready for that.)If you are looking for a functional, clean looking watch that is both reliable and smart looking, able to handle being work with jeans and a tee shirt or a blazer and tie, something that won't be ruined if you hold your umbrella for a lady on a rainy day, then look no further. If you are more interested in a tea saucer with knobs on that shouts 'Hey! Everybody! Check out my watch!!' you might want to look elsewhere...

Ruggedly Stunning
Love this watch after receiving it. Like the light when you press the winding screw. Need to see at night though. Simple with military time too and date. Just gorgeous I would say.

Worth The Money, but.....
My 40 year old Timex Expedition was accidentally damaged by me (don't ask..) a few months ago.. I loved that little watch which had been all over the world with me. As it had more than proven to be a workhorse, I decided to replace it with a newer version... Got on Amazon and this one was the closest to it in size and features although the new version doesn't show what day of the week. I miss that feature.I've had this new version a few months now.. I like the look and the slightly larger size.. Very classy without being ostentatious. What I don't like is... 1.. The hands on the watch are almost the same color as the background meaning it's hard to read.. There's no "glancing" at it for the quick time. You have to twist and turn your wrist to get the exact correct lighting to see the hands.. What was the design team thinking? Also... the date and day on my old Expedition was easier to set than the new one.. Not sure why that is, but it is an issue you have to deal with from time to time.. Would I buy the watch again? Probably because I don't like the other versions. It's worth the cost. but IMHO.. they should fire the designer who chose almost the same color for the hands as the background..

Nice watch
Great watch for work since I do construction. My smart watch only lasted one week.

Nice watch, does everything advertised to do.
After wearing and using this Timex watch, I am mostly happy and satisfied with my purchase. Allow me to explain; it does everything advertised and more. The watch is elegant, and keeps time. Easy to use. My dislikes: the case is very small, almost as it were made for a child. The leather band is hard and not very pliable. I have medium to small hands, but the watch does not buckle on the center of my wrist so it is always sitting to the side; again as it were designed for a child and not an adult. Again, nothing wrong with the watch, it's just a design flaw if the intended use is an adult. In my excitement I threw the packaging away before wearing it, otherwise I would return it. Check the specifications before purchase, nice watch.

4 Years On
Bought this Expedition on Amazon in December 2015 after my first one (purchased in 2000) got old/beat up (still kept excellent time). It spent 8 years in the Army with me, went on numerous deployments around the world.This one was somewhat smaller than my original. I wear the watch 24/7. I don't wear it swimming/bathing or running (although I ran with the original regularly). I'm not hard on a watch, but I don't give take special precautions either. Always loved the look/style. Keeps excellent time. Indiglo is an excellent feature, and provides all the brightness you could want, but I suspect the movement on this watch slows a bit the more often I use it, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Also, Indiglo sometimes gets activated inadvertently if I bend my wrist just right, which could work against you tactically if you're trying to remain unseen in the dark.I did not rate water resistance because I've never immersed my watch. Still, 24/7 wear in all weather conditions has never resulted in any moisture issues.Quartz movement on my watch is easily accurate to within +/- 5 seconds per week. Watch can be easily synchronized and is reliable.In my opinion, for under $35, you can't go wrong. Practically disposable at that price. But you won't want to.

Not a 39mm watch
Advertised as 39mm, measures to 36mm. Good for a child or someone with a tiny wrist. Looks comical on my wrist.I am sure it is a good watch, the band is nice and face is clean and legible. Just try to be honest with measurements.
