Customer Reviews:
Rugged little watch!
First of all, the product specifications listed on this page is wrong – there are no 24-hour military markings on this watch! If you’re military personnel, it wouldn’t be much of a problem anyway. You’d already be familiar with the 24 hour times.
I purchased this watch because I needed a (relatively) cheap little rough-and-tumble watch, for weekends or casual wear, or when the mood strikes me. Now that I am somewhat older, I have given up on Casio G-shocks. Now I prefer analog faces to a digital readout. For one thing, yes I’m old-school – I want to see a clock face when looking at the time and not have to visualise a clock-face when I look at digital readouts.
I have been poring through the various Timex Expedition watches, and found that the general consensus was that Timex Expedition watches are pretty darn tough (like a G-Shock). I finally decided that this watch would be great for me, and went out to a local store and bought it. I tend to prefer dark watch faces with light markings. The contrast makes reading the time that much easier and faster.
One thing that may put people off this watch though – when it’s all quiet in the room, you can actually hear the ticking sound from the watch! Yes, soft “tick tick tick” when you’re lying in bed, even if the watch may be on the table about 2 metres away from you. However, it isn’t really distracting or irritating. It is curious though, since all my other quartz watches are silent.
The luminous hands are good for a quick check of the time in a darkened location. However, the luminous paint on the hour and minute markings around the dial are so faint, they might as well not exist. This isn’t too big of a problem, because if you so desire, you can easily press the crown in and the Indiglo night light feature will light the watch face up. Check out my uploaded pictures to get a better idea.
Another weird quirk of this watch (or it may be just the watch that I have) is that the markings from 7 to 9 seem to be a little “off”, about half a millimetre. The second hand doesn’t point precisely to them. The other minute markings are spot-on. Just something you might want to know in case these kind of things get you.
Also, the date doesn’t rollover “cleanly” at 12 midnight. At midnight, it’s still showing part of the previous day’s date, and part of the date of “today”. It won’t fully show “today’s date” until about 12.15 or 12.30, when the majority of “today’s date” finally rolls into view in the date window.
The crown tends to get pushed-in unintentionally very easily, hence activating the Indiglo (and thus running the battery down). There are a number of times I bent my wrist backwards to hold or support something, and the light would come on.
On the plus side, it’s very light. It’s so light that sometimes it felt like I wasn’t wearing a watch at all, and had to look at my wrist to make sure that I was. I’m used to my heavier metal-strap watches, I guess.
The leather/nylon strap dries very quickly when wet. Plus, the 10-year battery life is neat. It’s not shown here in the product description but it’s mentioned elsewhere on other watch sites if you google for this model.
Unlike what a previous reviewer said about its accuracy, the one I own only loses about 3 to 4 seconds a MONTH, and not a couple of minutes in 3 weeks. It’s a quartz watch, it shouldn’t be that inaccurate.
All in all, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Timex Outdoor Analog Watch
Good price. Runs perfectly. Very clear display. Black face. Comfortable strap. Large white hands with small red sweep second hand. Most watches are hard to read unless you stare at them. I wanted one that I could glance at for a tenth of a second and see the time. (Say while driving at 60 MPH) This one is perfect.

The Timex Story
The Timex Watch Company
Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex’s U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut’s Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the “Switzerland of America.” Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey’s hands pointing the time.
During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through “torture tests,” such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.” With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.
The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.
One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.
Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.
