TimexMen's Expedition Grid Shock Quartz Resin Strap

Absolutely LOVE this watch. It’s the third one I’ve owned and I will continue to purchase it. Comfortable, durable and long lasting! Bought the first one in 2017 and wear them until they fall apart. They would last much longer if I didn’t do the work I do. But even the amount of time with the punishment they receive while I wear them is impressive!

Very comfortable and easy to set. I have many dress watches and a few gshock watches and this watch does everything I need it to do and is comfortable doing it. The mudshock watch and mostly all gshock watches from Casio frankly does way too much and complicated to set for an average person that only needs the simplest of things in a watch -- What time is it, stopwatch, alarms and a light, that's it. This is a good cheap watch for outdoors.

Very large but works great

Update, 2 years later:Still in love with this watch. Until this weekend, no scratches of the face. I was teaching an National Cave Rescue Commission Orientation to Cave Rescue class this past weekend, and when in the cave, one of the students who was supposed to be doing vital signs didn't have a watch so I loaned him mine. Unfortunately, I got separated from him and he wore it during the carryout, and unlike me didn't have cuffs that closed over the watch, so it got a few scratches. Nothing all that severe, and I guess this is about as bad a test as you can have of a watch face's durability, but I've decided to keep the existing one for rougher use and get a new one for everyday wear.I just got this to replace a 15-20 year old Timex Expedition watch that was supposed to be 100m water resistant but died after diving to just 5 meters. At first I chalked this up to seals getting old, but then I also realized that when I had the battery replaced, the watch place said that this would damage the waterproofing. There is no reason for a digital watch to be round, I thought (my old one was) so why not get a rectangular one? I wear a Time Expedition as my everyday watch unless I have to dress up. And "everyday" for me includes clearing trails, disaster response, and mountain and cave rescue.The important good things about this watch, to me, are as follows.(1) Easy to read in bad conditions (or if you have poor eyesight). From top to bottom this is the same size as a normal round watch, but it's half again as wide. The numbers are half again as big as on a round digital watch. The Indiglo makes it easy to see at night (press the center right small button to make it light up for a second or so).(2) Easy to set. Timex "Easy-Set" means no need for any manual. All four buttons are clearly labeled; just press and hold Set (top left) to get into Set Mode and just follow the instructions.(3) Comfortable on the wrist. I have small bones, and even on my wrist, this big watch is comfortable. For my old round Timex Expedition, I traded in the OEM wrist band for a nylon one. This has a great band on it. It's soft, wide (which means comfortable) and quite secure. It seems pretty tough. It has a free loop (free ring) that has a little tooth in it that will stick into one of the same holes that the buckle tongue goes into. This means you can slide it to the end of the strap and it will stay right there. Brilliant design!(4) The top left has a sort of digital second hand... enough to count in 15- or 30-second intervals for checking a pulse or respirations. (I'm a physician so that's important to me.)If there is anything to not like about this watch, there are two things that concern me. First, the crystal is acrylic (thanks to those who replied to my question about this) and easier to scratch than a "mineral glass" crystal. (I've yet to see a "vegetable glass" crystal, but an "animal glass" crystal of Gorilla Glass would be ideal.) Second, when I've taken similar watches to a local watch place to get a new battery put in, they say that it's not waterproof any more. I wonder if it would be worth it to send it back for a new crystal and new battery when the battery dies, or if it would be cheaper to just get a new watch.Addendum: I asked about keeping water resistance after changing the battery, and two people answered "take it to a jeweler" but after browsing online comments about this option, I disagree. When my battery dies, I emal [email protected] or call 1-800-448-4639 to send it back to Timex. I would like the seals to be replaced if damaged so it stays waterproof, and local jewelers don't have access to the seals for unusual watches like this.

Very nice looking watch. Decent size nice band.

My first Timex, of the Ironman series, was bought on sale in a walmart. It became one of my favorite watches due to its functionality. I wear it most of the time for work and eveytime I travel. Its multiple clocks are the best feature. I can set a clock for each time zone.I bought this new watch for looks, knowing I would get the same, great functionality again. It does not disappoint. If anything, setting this watch is easier and it has a few more functions to it. The metallic border is a good look for this watch. The amazon images don't do it justice. I also appreciate the packaging. The is the first time I've acquired a watch that was packed on a pillow. Seeing this made me grin.

Normal size watches look small on me so this one looks perfect. The face is plastic and will scratch up with anything that is metal but that’s only if you work with you hands doing rough stuff. If you are a careful person I am sure it will last a lot longer in a clean state than it did for me. Also it has a lot of cool features. I suggest you watch a video review to get a sense of what this watch can do. My 6 year old self would be completely obsessed with this watch, just like I am 😂
