Best watch ever.
Isn't it funny how in some areas of life, paying more doesn't always get you more? Take watches, for example. My fancy, self-winding, umpteen-jewel, heirloom-quality watch doesn't hold a candle to this Timex in terms of pure functionality.The vibration alarm is the key feature. It allows you to be notified of alarms and countdown timers in environments when you would be unable to hear (or would not want others to hear) them going off, such as in a library, the cockpit of a plane, or while scuba diving. For those with hearing impairment, it is equally useful. It is surprising to me that this feature is not standard on almost every digital watch, but I suppose one well-designed watch is sufficient.Also superior to my fancy dress watch (and the Casio it replaced), this Timex does not gain or lose more than a second or two, even after several months.The display is clean, large, and easy to read. The backlight takes a little getting used to, as it illuminates the digits only, in contrast to the entire face, as I was accustomed to, but it works well. The crystal (the glass on the face of the watch) is particularly flat and clear, compared to other digital watches.The countdown timer works far better than the Casio Ironman it replaced ever did -- there is no "pre-vibrating" alarm, nor is there any control lockout that delays shutting it off -- odd design choices that always annoyed me about its predecessor.You can choose to set 3 different time zones, and the alarms will go off at the appointed hour in whichever time zone you have selected as default on the main screen. This can be both good and bad: on the one hand, you don't have to do math to figure out when an alarm will go off if you are in a different time zone than usual. On the other hand, if you set one to remind you of a daily event (say taking a medication at the same time each day), then you will have to adjust them accordingly.The watch is very lightweight, and quite comfortable. Its appearance is understated, and the silver-painted bezel (the ring around the face with pointless compass directions on it) is not as shiny in real life as in he photo on Amazon.The countdown timer can be set up to 23:59:59, and you can set increments of one second (some watches do not allow that).As another reviewer stated, alarms can be set to go off daily, weekends, or weekdays; it would have been nice to be able to select specific days of the week, but oh well.I have not encountered any problems with the battery in the 4 months I have owned the watch.Relatively intuitive user interface (if you have been using digital watches for any number of years, the buttons, their placement and operation, and the markings that indicate their function will all make sense to you instantly or nearly so).Waterproof to depths you are unlikely to visit or survive without a JIM suit.In summation, this watch works better than any other I have ever owned, and I am confident it will provide me with many years of service.

Just what I needed
I am happy with this watch. After spending a few hours looking at the watch reviews posted here, this Timex Expedition Vibrating Alarm seemed to be what would match up best for my needs. I haven't worn a watch in 40 years, so my first thought was would I actually want to wear it, or would it just be more of an annoyance around my wrist. I just started taking a medication that is fairly important to take on an accurate schedule so this was the main reason for this purchase. I needed something to remind me every 6 hours to take my meds. Now after a few weeks, I am happy to say that this watch is working out well for me. There are lots of different options for setting this watch. As far as "audio beeps" verses "vibrations". You can set it for just the audio beeps or you can mute the audio and just set it to vibrate or you can set it for both. There are 3 separate alarms that can be set daily, as well as other options to set your alerts. There are options to set for within hourly workout alerts or options to hydrate every 15 minutes, plus a stop watch option where you can set it for any time you want and when the time counts down and expires, the alert goes off. For my meds, I use the stop watch feature and have it set for every 6 hours. With the stop watch feature, you can set it so it will restart automatically every time it expires or you can set it so you manually have to push a button to restart the timer again. The displays on the watch are easy to read and the beeps are audible in a normal setting, you should be able to hear it lets say while you are watching TV but maybe not if you have your stereo in your living room on. Vibrations are set at just the right amount too. I have yet to sleep thru a vibration alert but I am a fairly light sleeper and can see where a heavy sleeper could easy sleep thru it. For me it is perfect. The biggest negative that I could find for this purchase was that there was no real manual that was included with the watch. There is a manual online which is comprehensive and "How to set up" YouTube videos as well as these reviews on Amazon to read, so not much of a problem for me but for those without access to the internet, or to those who may be a bit technically challenged, you might have a longer learning curve in setting this up to your specific needs. There are cheaper watches and there are more expensive watches but this mid-priced watch has more than met my expectations. Plus, way back in the day, I always wore Timex, they always worked well for me and it is a proven brand, so if it ain't broke, why fix it, right?

Montre alarme vibrante TIMEX
Produit conforme à la description. l'alarme vibrante est très pratique pour se réveiller sans réveiller son conjoint (3 alarmes possibles). Il est vrais que lorsque l'on est très fatigué et endormi profondément on peut ne pas sentir l'alarme mais dans mon cas c'est très rare et je mets toujours l'alarme sonore de mon téléphone 5 minutes après en "backup" au cas où (alarme du téléphone que je désactive avant quelle ne se déclenche). Cela fait maintenant 4ans 1/2 que je l'utilise et je suis toujours très satisfait (j'ai dû changer le bracelet qui a fini par casser). Donc montre très pratique. Dommage qu'il n'existe pas plus de choix dans les montres avec alarme vibrante...Pour info nous somme en 2021 et mon achat date de sept 2016.

vibrate alarm works well
3 alarms which works independently and well - discreet so cannot be heard on vibrate, but you can feel them. otherwise feels like a pretty sturdy and comfortable watch, good quality buttons and big display. great for the price, way better value for money than a g-shock.

Sehr gute Wahl bz. Bedienung, Ablesbarkeit etc.
Auf der Suche nach einer jerderzeit gut ablesbaren Uhr mit min. 3 Alarmen inkl. Vibration, 'Langzeit'-Countdown & -Stoppuhr kam ich schlußendlich auf diese Uhr, nachdem die Modelle Timex T49950 & Vibralite 8 ausschieden.Kurz und knapp, ausschlaggebend für die Timex T49851 wahren in erster Linie:+ die Indiglo-Beleuchtung in Kombination den großen und damit sehr gut ablesbaren Ziffern+ rel. große, gut spürbare Tasten+ gut spürbarer Vibrationsalarm (Danke an die anderen Rezensenten für die entsprechenden Hinweise !)+ sehr gut durchdachte Funktionen (habe ich so bei keiner anderen Firma gesehen, ebenso wie die Indiglo-Beleuchtung)+ Batterie ist eine Standard 2032 (jederzeit leicht und preiswert zu bekommen)+ leicht / angenehm zu tragenEtwas ausführlicher:Für mich quasi die perfekte Uhr, um sowohl Tag & Nacht verläßlich abgelesen werden zu können als auch mit Vibration geweckt / erinnert zuwerden.Hinzu kommt der optionale Nachtmodus: Mit der Standard Einstellung aktiviert sich die Indiglo-Beleuchtung ausschließlich über den extra Beleuchtungsknopf, Beleuchtung wird für 2-3 Sekunden aktiviert. Absolut ausreichend um kurz nach der Uhrzeit zu schauen. Aktiviert man dagegen den Nachtmodus, wird die Beleuchtung durch jede Taste / Tastenbetätigung aktiviert. Äußerst praktisch, wenn man Nachts oder an schlecht beleuchteten Plätzen die Uhr aktiv(er) nutzt. Zusätzlicher kleiner Vorteil: Der Nachtmodus schaltet sich automatisch nach 8 Stunden ab, sofern er vorher nicht man. deaktiviert; schont also die Batterie.Die 3 Alarme sind simpel und funktionell: Alarmierung jeweils entweder für jeden Tag, nur an Wochentagen oder nur an Wochenenden.Einzige Erweiterung die ich mir schon seit Jahren wünsche (aber ohne Smartwatch wohl nicht bekommen werde), wäre die Möglichkeit, wöchentlich wiederkehrender Alarme (z.B. alle 7 Wochen).Zusätzlich gibt es noch den Terminmodus: Hier kann man sich an mehrere, jährlich wiederkehrende Termine erinnern lassen.Countdown Timer ist bis 23h59m einstellbar, wahlweise einmalig oder automatisch wiederholend, sehr praktisch.Hydra-Funktion ist letzlich ein zusätzlicher, 'kleiner' Countdown Timer, gedacht als Trink-Erinnerung: Einstellbar bis 59m59s, automatisch neu startend. Nutze ich mittlerweile sehr gerne im Büro, um regelmäßig aufzustehen / mich zu bewegen; an arbeitreichen Tagen sehr hilfreich um Verspannungen, Kopfschmerzen etc. vorzubeugen.Stopuhr mit allen normalen Funktionen (Split / Lap), Besonderheit auch hier die lange 'Laufzeit' mit bis zu 100h.Zusätzlich besonderes gut gefallen haben mir auch diese wirklich gut durchdachten Funktionen:- Unerwünschte Menüfunktionen lassen sich ausblenden; wer z.Bsp. die Stopuhr-Funktion nicht nutzt, kann sie verschwinden lassen- Die Anzeige des Datums läßt sich an deutsche Darstellung anpassen: Also wahlweise -wie bei wohl allen Uhren- erst den Monat, gefolgt vom Tag oder eben erst den Tag, gefolgt vom Monat.Zuletzt noch Gründe, warum nicht Timex T49950 oder Vibralite 8:Timex T49950:- zwar gleiches 'Innenleben', ergo gleiche Funktionen aber Vibration (aufgrund größeren / massigeren Gehäuses ?) schwächer- Preis (16,45€ teurer; ich weiß, 'jammern auf höchstem Niveau ;-))Vibralite 8:- keine Indiglo-Beleuchtung- offenbar hartes, unangenehmes Armband- Optik..- Preis (26,45€ teurer..)+ 8 Alarme
