Review: Timex Standard High Quality....but, Oh well. The new one I bought, the Indiglo went out in 60 days. - 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.
Review: First Timex watch - Just recently bought the Timex expedition scout T49961 field watch and am overly excited about this purchase since it's my first ever Timex watch. Really wanted the basic no extra nonsense or things on the watch most of us don't really need or use daily, other than to tell the time and possibly the date function. I wanted that clean basic field watch look including the 24 hour military time, having the date function on the watch was a bonus plus it's incredibly legible to read from any angle. The movement is a basic standard quartz which doesn't have that loud noticable ticking sound that Timex is well known for. I've heard that Timex possibly looked into the things or sometimes the criticism of the ticking since mine is very quiet maybe including even the materials used in this specific watch. It's versatility is unmatched as far as wearing daily and any occasion to be honest including handling anything thrown it's way. For the beyond very reasonable value for the money and the basic materials used to make this watch I would happily buy again, I did change the original green strap it came with and replaced it with an Altera strap from desertcart, which is a taupe color mix of grey and beige that fits beautifully with the overall aesthetics of my new Timex watch, a Happy satisfied customer and would definitely recommend this watch to anyone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it loud?**
A: I can hear our living room clock 15 feet away, now that’s loud…which, by the way, totally drowns out whatever noise my Timex might be making 6” away in my wrist.

**Q: How does this watch stand up to outdoor use?**
A: I purchased this Timex Expedition here on Amazon the summer of 2015. I wore it daily as I worked my land. It took a licking and just broke after almost 8 years. Before this other watches would only last a year. I'm back to buy another Expedition.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

**Q: Good first watch for a teenager? For a present will it fit small wrists?**
A: Check the band, most Expeditions have holes nearly all around, & so should fit even a slim-wristed teen just fine. You can trim off the excess for now, & get a new band if you outgrow this.

**Q: How do you change the date? There doesn't appear to be a middle setting and going around a 24 hour cycle doesn't do it either.**
A: You have to go forward with the time setting, 24 hours for each day. I just reset mine this weekend to the correct date.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great watch, probably repackaged. (3rd party packaging)
*by J***Y on February 29, 2016*

Ordered this watch as my first watch since I was a kid, wanted something that looked good but wasn't flashy. Overall the watch is great, comfortable, looks good, and does its job of telling time. My only reason for not giving this watch a 5 star review is because when I went to order the watch it was labeled as a prime item, while it was in my cart for around 30-40 minutes while I was doing other shopping it magically left prime status and was being shipped via 3rd party. I didn't think much of it because it was still free shipping, however it was now 4-7 days shipping. No more than an hour after I placed the order the watch went back to prime status. Seems a little fishy to me but anyways I received the watch just as the description stated but in an odd way. The watch came in a Timex box (that wasn't taped shut), however inside the Timex box was a joke. The watch was on the plastic "wrist" ring but the ring was not connected to the base used to showcase a watch, it was tossed in awkwardly. The watch was already ticking, not sure how long it has been running for but I probably should replace the battery to be safe. With that the labeling on the base was in French none of the labeling was in English, the directions and information documentation were all in French. Luckily there were no scratches or signs of wear on the watch otherwise I would have returned it because it looked repackaged. Outside of the packaging issues the watch is great, easy to set the time/date. The nylon band stretches slightly as you break it in. I was between two holes where the wider one was just a little too loose and the tighter hole was just a little snug. I toughed it out on the tighter hole for a few days and it slowly stretched slightly and fits wonderfully now. I have noticed when setting the hands the minute hand tends to click into its slot just slightly slow of where it should be. It tends to lag a little behind the minute marks as it moves. Even when attempting to set it properly. It hasn't run slow at all for the week I have had it or shown any issues of being off. The ticking is noticeable if you are in a dead quite room, place your ear right next to it or if you leave it on your night stand and sleep in dead silence like a heathen. I sleep with a low fan on and cant hear it at all, I had to turn off everything and put it next to my ear to hear it tick. Unless you live in absolute silence or have super hearing you most likely wont notice the ticking. Update on this watch (12/5/16) The crown is completely unprotected so it will catch on things. Mine caught on my pants and snapped off completely with the stem still inside. This happened within the first 2 months of owning the watch. I had to send it to Timex repair to have it repaired. They repaired it and had it sent back in about 3 weeks time. The repair was covered free of charge but they billed me for shipping the watch back to me, after I paid to ship it to them. I think this is a little upsetting for a watch that didn't last more than 60 days before it broke. Shipping in total cost me half what the watch did in the first place. I will just buy a different watch next time. I have read a few more reviews after buying the watch that state the crown snapped off or fell out on many of these watches.
