Expedition Rugged Core Analog Watch, Full Size

Excellent everyday watch. Stylish, easy to read, and accurate. Needed a knock around watch and this puts up with it's share of abuse. It's a bit more expensive than some others in this class, but Timex is well-worth the money in quality. I use mine for eveything except when I need something more formal.

Good watch! Works great

I just ordered my second one of these. They are cheap, keep good time, show me the date, and last a long time. My last one lasted over 10 years. The only thing wrong with the last one was that the battery needed replacement (I think it was only the second time it had needed a battery in all the years I had owned it) at the same time the band wore out and broke. Rather than buy a new battery plus a new band, I just got a new one. I am hard on watches, and this one stood up very well. I regularly shower and swim with it on, and no problems. It doesn't have a lot of functions I don't need, like stopwatch, multiple time zones, etc. I have found those things more of a bother than a benefit, because any time you bump the knob against something, the display changes and you're always pressing all the buttons multiple times just to get the simple info needed- like what time is it and what is the date DEC 2020 UPDATE - I am ordering another one of these. The last one, I bought in mid 2019. Early in 2020, the date function quit working. By the end of November, the whole thing quit working. I know it's not the battery, because the light still works. So I am reducing my review by one star, and we'll see how well a new one does. The watch before the current one lasted about 10 years, so getting only a little over a year out of the current one is not good. Perhaps the current one just wasn't as good as the previous ones. It's entirely possible that they keep making the same watch out of lesser and lesser materials and workmanship.

A family member is headed off to Navy boot camp and is required to have a watch-a black watch. But...it cannot be anything in the realm of, be like, or indeed be an Apple Watch. The search began for a simple timepiece. Economy was important since after the 8 weeks of boot camp ended, use of the current watch would be resumed. Enter Timex...(the world's largest manufacturer of watches and mechanical time fuses). During the Amazon search there were all manner of economically (actually cheap) watches noted to be available, so many that it was simply overwhelming. Timex...tried and true since 1854 (just a fun fact, but actually attests to the quality of the company) was the chosen one. A simple but reliable timepiece was required, and certain qualifications were needed. First, it had to be an accurate time keeper and have a second hand, and have a date indicator. Secondly, there had to be an element of water resistance (this is Navy boot camp after all, so water is important!). Thirdly, it had to be black. Fourth, no bells or whistles whatsoever. Finally, a face with 24 hour/military time would be a bonus. This Timex Rugged Core Expedition Analog Watch fit the bill. Upon arrival it was packaged in a traditionally square box the size of the watch, no frills but sturdy enough to ward off damage during shipping. Once opened the first thing noticed was the face of the watch. It was black, with white numerals in both standard and 24 hour/military time, had a red second hand, luminescent hour and minute hands, and date indicator. The nylon band was also black, had ridges, and had a fastener like a belt. At the end of the band were two extrusions which seemed to lock the excess band into place once it was fastened. After wearing a number of days, the watch has kept excellent time matching the Apple Watch. Both watches were worn on the same arm at the same during the day and during sleep. They were worn during regular daily activities, during exercise and during strenuous garden work such as hauling, digging holes, dragging 40 lb bags, etc. Time was checked multiple times per day, and the time on each watch was exactly the same every time checked. The Timex was water resistant during a 5 minute shower and while submerged water. This is not a dive watch but, according to the ad, is water resistant to 50 feet for light swimming. The performance of this watch has been more than satisfactory executing in stellar fashion everything it was stated to be able to do. I can recommend this watch for boot camp purposes without reservation. Top 3 Likes: -Reliable keeping accurate time, has military time numerals -Is water resistant as tested -Is black, attractive with luminescent hands, second hand, date, and light up face Top 3 Dislikes: -The band is stiff and somewhat difficult to latch -The two little extrusions do anchor the band, but are difficult to undo to take off the watch -Only two dislikes!

Do not buy it - the battery lasted one year The back at the watch has for screws , 2 screws are tamper proof they are square the battery replacement store doesn’t have the size and I checked Amazon has size 2 this watch needs side 1 or size .5 so the battery can’t be replace , timex wants you to buy another watch , people but Casio not timex

I love this watch it's comfortable to wear and does keep very accurate time. It's a great price for a dependable and great looking timepiece

A really good everyday watch. Looks and feels like a Luminox. Much better value.

This is a very solid watch at a great price. It met all the requirements I wanted. It is very easy to read, has hands that glow when moving from light to dark, has the indigo feature, is water resitant, and feels solid and well made. I’ve owned a few Timex timepieces through the years and they all simply work and last. The only complaint would be the date display. It’s tiny and basically unusable for me. Admittedly I do use readers, but just wish it was a larger display. Ultimately, I would highly recommend this watch for someone who wants a basic, durable, easy to read watch that simply works great and looks pretty decent doing so.

Sporty and sturdy Watch that fits just right. Although this Watch is full-sized, it does not feel or look big at all on my small wrist. Good size, good comfort, good looks and good time keeping. I like the sound of the second hand; it is not really as loud as some reviewers have said. Nice indiglo light too! Overall a good Watch at a very good price. It actually looks and feels more expensive than it is. I recommend it.

Robusto, Gradevole e ben costruito e ad un ottimo prezzo! Adattissimo a viaggi, outdoor e sport. Visibilità eccezionale in ogni condizione

Belle montre pour les sports. Pas compliquée à opérer

déçu par CASIO qui ne fait pas de montres avec un éclairage suffisant, ou alors tres moches et tres "plastique".. j'ai opté pour cette TIMEX avec sa technologie "Indiglo" qui est vraiment top! éclairage parfait et total du fond de montre avc une couleur plutot verte et lumineuse. Les aiguilles photosensibles restent longtemps lisible de tte manière. affichage jour nickel. (suffit de tourner la molette en arrière pour regler). pas de mode d'emploi a la livraison, mais très simple. emballage adapté, boite classique pour ce genre de montre. rendu au poignet sobre et sport, adapté a bcp de situations de la vie courante. tres bonne montre et peu chère. je recommande.

Me parece un gran reloj, soy coleccionista de relojes y hace años tuve una mala experiencia con uno de la marca LUMI***, bastante más caro y de una estética similar a Timex Expedition. Quizá es pronto para valorar a fondo, pero después de casi un mes me atrevo a decir qué, por el precio que tiene es muy buena compra.
