## Description

It’s all about the elements: earth, wind, campfires, our signature arrow second hand and a stitched leather strap.

Review: Nice for the price - I really like this watch for the price. The cream colored dial with orange accents is really nice. The indiglo feature lights up the entire dial instead of just having luminous hands. The band is nice and looks good with the case. It's a nice, large case that looks good on a big wrist. The case is metal and feels substantial. The band is sueded leather and prone to scratch damage. A nylon band would be more field watch like. The case is a strange pewter color that is hard to match with a new band. It looks ok with a black band but haven't found another color that looks good with it, light beige/sand color doesn't look good. Brown doesn't look good. The bezel has compass markings that serve no function.
Review: Nice watch - I chose this Timex Expedition after days of searching for a cheapish, sturdy, casual-style watch. I initially did not want a fixed bezel with numbers on it as it seemed like useless decoration. I looked for a rotating bezel but found none in the $70 and under market. However, I couldn't get this Expedition out of my mind. Days later, I went back to it and gave it serious consideration. Its numbers and compass letters on the bezel are muted and not outstanding. I now accept that. It seems to be a fine watch. I am currently testing its accuracy. I read of some quartz watches sounding too loud. (none of my others were) This one isn't heard until you put it to your ear. I DO have a large problem with the seller though. The watch's box came mauled and taped up. There was no instruction paper, and the delivery envelope itself was delivered open. How do I know if this watch is someone else's send-back? I was very close to sending it back for those reasons. I have never been sent mauled goods before. If, in a few weeks the watch is still doing ok I will keep it. I will up-date this post.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the indeglo light stay on all of the time?  so that you always see in the shade, twilight, or the bedroom at night? i just don't want my son to !**
A: No, the light comes on with a press of the right hand button. The hands glow a little, so that you can often tell the time with out using the light.

**Q: Can the back of this watch be engraved?**
A: Probably could, but cost would be more than watch is worth. Too bad they don't offer a metal band, leather is difficult to fit on wrist.

**Q: Does strap slide off**
A: No. Its a standard 2 piece 18mm strap. I fitted a 19mm nato strap on mine and it looks much better.

**Q: Does the dial turn twist?**
A: I just ordered this watch and it will arrive today. I have the old black model, but the date got screwed up as it was mounted to the handlebars of my scooter for a few years. On mine the bezel moves counter clockwise, but not clockwise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ First Watch Delivered Didn't Work - Replacement is Great
*by C***I on May 2, 2024*

The only reasons I gave an overall 4 star review instead of a 5-star was due to (1) receiving a faulty watch on the first delivery attempt. That watch simply didn't start as it should after simply pulling off the protective tab - I suspect there was a battery problem. So, I returned it and waited another week for the replacement to be delivered. (2) The instruction sheet did not provide complete instructions, and though I already knew how to change the Date, I had to watch YouTube vids to recall how to change the Day of the week. But this replacement watch works fine, and I do love this watch and wear it all the time. I've been purchasing various Timex Expedition watches over the years, and this particular style is a favorite due to it's rougher "outdoorsy" style of appearance with its silver-toned brass case and stable chronograph paired with the brown Ieather strap. At the time of my Amazon purchase, it was also a considerable cost savings over the same model in a local store. I camp a lot during Spring/Summer, and the Indiglo light (just press the button) offers easy time viewing at night or when waking early in the tent. Since most of my camping is by lakes, having a 100m water resistance (330 feet) provides me great reassurance should I slip and fall in the water, or the watch slip off in the water, or I forget to take it off while swimming (A previous Expedition I owned was only 50m water resistance so if water is in your future, be alert to water resistance.)
