Men's Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

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.

An amazing watch for the price. Timex has produced a solid, stylish timepiece that punches way above its weight. The instrument’s unique Indiglo technology illumination is perfect for watch reading in dark conditions. The watch’s original band is a decent genuine leather strap but it looks even better upgraded with a top grain leather or marine nationale strap. No regrets on buying an Expedition Scout watch. A no brainer purchase for anyone looking for an inexpensive entry-level field 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.

I thought this watch was resin or plastic and that would feel much cheaper. To my surprise the watch is actually metalic and feels a lot better than expected, it's probably brass. The movement in this solar version is not as loud as the other expedition scouts. The wristband is also much nicer than expected, it's not full grain but a decent genuine strap that's better than other PU offerings in similar priced watches. There's even a nice detailed buckle on it. Will do as a daily driver, a weekend laid back watch or even as a smart casual watch.

This is my 2nd Timex Expedition series watch. The first one is battery powered and has the indiglo backlight. I was curious/skeptical of this one because it said it was solar powered, but all of the other Timex Expedition solar watches were much more expensive, so I was wondering if it was an add error/misprint, but I got the watch and yes, it IS solar powered! For 40-something bucks! I love these watches, and this one being solar powered is awesome, never have to worry about replacing battery, or keeping it moving to keep time. The only con is that it does not have the indiglo backlight. It does have luminous numbers/markers, though. Great watch, especially at this price.

Decent looking watch and worth the price, dropped it from a fair distance the other day and I thought it might not still be working, but like a Timex it keeps on ticking

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.

I have always worn Timex Expedition watches and have had to get new ones from time to time but will always recommend them as a good classic watch for any occasion. The only complaints i ever have with these is the difficulty to get the back reattached once you take it apart to change the battery. I have always loved the glowing function of it and the ability to read it at night. Didn't know how i felt about the velcro band, but it will stick around for now as it works well and is easy to remove.

Strong, feels like good quality

とにかく文字盤が見やすい時計です。 購入して良かった。

Relógio bonito, com design limpo e discreto, bom para o dia a dia. A qualidade parece boa e a entrega foi rápida. Para quem está acostumado com smartwatch, ele pode parecer um pouco mais pesado no início, mas nada que incomode. No geral, vale a pena.

Buon orologio da battaglia, senza troppe pretese

毎日24時間着けていても飽きないデザイン。気に入ってます。値段も妥当だと思います。
