TimexMen's Expedition Camper 38mm Watch

Great, timeless Timex quality. Perfect watch to work around the yard! Good watch at a low price! If you just need to know what time it is, it's Timex! (I need to patent that saying!)

I have always preferred Timex watches. I’ve never had a problem with a Timex watch. This watch has every function that I need. It’s face is big enough that I can read the dial, I am over 70 years old and I do need reading glasses, it lights up so if you wake up in the middle of the night, you know what time it is. It is a great camping, hiking, bird-watching watch. And you can actually wear the watch while swimming. I love this watch

This is a fabulous watch! I really love it. It is an exact replacement for one I bought more than 15 years ago and wore almost every day since then. It’s very water resistant - I wear it in the pool, in the shower, doing dishes, etc. It’s also very tough - I wore it hiking, biking, gardening, building, digging, etc. You name it and this watch and I have done it.The face did accumulate a few scratches in 15 years but nothing that made it unreadable. The light always goes out well before the battery really needs replacement but comes back with a new battery. I had to replace the band 3 times over the years, mostly because the leather at the buckle wears through, probably from getting wet so often. At one point I put a Velcro band on but I didn’t like the feel of the wet Velcro on my wrist and against my clothing as it dried after swimming daily.You should know a few things.1. The band is made for a large wrist. Although a woman, I have a VERY large wrist and can not fit into most women’s watches at all but this watch fits me perfectly. If your wrist is slim, this won’t fit you.2. The color is army green. The watch looks kind of like I got it at an army navy surplus store. I don’t mind that look (in fact I kind of like it) but if that will bother you, this watch isn’t for you.3. This watch ticks loudly. I mean hear it clearly at night loudly. Again, I like it but it annoys my husband a little and my kids hate it. If the sounds will bother you, look elsewhere.You might be asking why I am replacing it since I love mine so much? After 15 years, the band got accidentally ripped out in such a way that one of the holes where the pin sits is now too big to hold the pin in place! Such a tiny defect to make a watch unwearable!!! I’m actually working on a kluge that might allow me to wear it again but in the meantime I needed a watch and I found this one again so I bought a replacement.If you are looking for a sturdy, easy-to-read analog watch with a date, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Didn’t care for the wrist band but otherwise a nice watch.

I purchased this as a gift for my son - he is just getting into Boy Scouts and needed a dependable watch that he could have on Troop trips outside of Normal. Because it always rains on Scout trips, it needed to be water resistant, and easy to put on/take off would be a plus.This works.Now make no mistake - this is not at all comparable to a $500 wonder watch. To compare it to a higher end wristwatch would be unfair. No, this is a very simple watch. The design is such that I think even having the date on it is a bit fancy. The watch exists to tell you what time it is, and to be light and convenient enough so you don't think about it when you're wearing it. I love it precisely because it is inexpensive and simple.To be sure, my choices came down to this watch and the Casio Forester - and since the prices were right I bought both. I figure my son will more than likely lose at least one watch during his adventures, and happily the price points on these are low enough where you kind of (but only kind of) don't mind. My son says the Timex is somewhat easier to read. He wears this watch more than the Forester for that reason.The band is easy to put on and take off, as it's Velcro and not a traditional buckle. Since I want my son to get in the habit of wearing this thing when he's out of the house (really, it does no good to tell him to be back home by six if he doesn't have a watch....), having an easy-to-wear band is crucial.Indiglo lighting is fantastic on this - it's not so bright that it's blinding you, but rather just the right luminescence to illuminate the watch face. Important in, say, a tent in the wee small hours.This works. it keeps good time and supports my son's Scouting activities. We are both rather happy with it.
