Timex Men's Expedition Shock XL Vibrating Alarm 50mm Watch

I wanted a simple, sturdy, big, easy to see, non-smart work watch, with big digits and an effective light, and this one delivers on all counts. Smart watch? Humbug. I have enough gizmos to keep charged without having to plug in a watch every night; these babies will last YEARS before needing a fresh battery. I don’t need to make wrist calls, or know all of my vital health statistics, or when I need to take my next walk, or see how many unread spam messages I have; I just need to know the time at a glance, or perhaps remind myself of the date, before I record a log entry at work! The light is great. It only illuminates the digits themselves and not the whole face of the watch, so great for low-light use without being too obtrusive. And… I discovered recently that you can optionally disable modes that you don’t use or need, or reenable them if required! Before, when accidentally triggering the mode button, I had to cycle back to the main time+date display, but now on mine, there is only time and date! Kudos for that; disabling/hiding modes wasn’t an option on my old watches. Seems to keep good time, too: I check it against my phone every so often, and it’s only ever been off by a few seconds since originally setting it up. All in all, it’s a good watch, and i feel naked without it.

so my baseline everyday watch is the Garmin instinct original. But I need you to watch without Bluetooth and heart rate sensors. So I bought two watches a Casio and a Timex expedition. I'll leave both reviews here. I am not a fan of large faced watches the Timex has a substantially larger face and bezel on it but after wearing it a couple days it's not that bad it's not heavy can get caught on sleeves. Although it didn't come with a manual the buttons are very intuitive they're easy to figure out it has a few features that are nice and some are that are not needed what's really cool about it is If you don't need an special alarms you can remove that from the display or add it back that was pretty nice. Pros Lightweight, nice big display, subtle night light display, you can select between vibration or audible alerts. So far the band retainer is holding in place. You can set three alarms and a timer. Cons For your alarm clock it vibrates initially then vibration will stop in an audible alarm will pick up I wish it would vibrate and have an alarm at the same time. This is for the timer also. Any button will stop the alarm that you set, so you could accidentally bump it while sleeping and miss it. For me personally timex is the better watch The Casio. 3446 The watch feels really good it looks good it's smaller face didn't catch on clothing or feel bulky. I thought it was nice that it came with a manual. Until I realized why the watch ⌚ operation is not intuitive like a genuinely took me a minute to figure it out how to get through all the layers and then I had to open up the book and figure it out whereas my Garmin instinct and the Timex was very easy to figure out. It only has one alarm on it you can do two time zones the light button is placed very nicely in the front and it's a very subtle LED lighted background. I'm sure if you're a fan of Casio this watch would meet your needs for a basic wrist watch for me it did not meet that standard and this will be returned.

I bought this watch for army basic training. It did great! The vibrating alarm allowed me to wake up without disturbing others. And it has three alarms, not just one, so I could set an alarm for wake up, fire watch, and another for any hit time out out. It was also easy to read with the indigo backlight Timex uses. The watch is huge though, so if you have small wrists, this isn't for you. The scratches in the picture were from NIC at night. I was actually impressed how it survived it considering I was crawling over gravel. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a watch for basic training.

I've worn Timex watches for years because of their decent price and durability. The last watch I had was the T49612 and I really liked that watch. This watch was a little cheaper and had the vibrating alarm function that wouldn't disrupt meetings or church. I run a large farming and ranch operation and needed a watch that is easy to read and won't be destroyed from daily work. The faceplate isn't protected as well as other Timex watches I've had and I'm afraid it will get scratched up while working on tractors or working cattle. The band isn't as beefy as the T49612's so I'm skeptical of how long it will hold up. I'm not a huge guy and this watch doesn't seem too bulky or oversized for my wrist. I'll update this review as time passes. Update: Been wearing this watch daily for almost a year now. Only recommendation I have is to make sure it's protected when welding. I have a bunch of burn marks on the face of the watch. The band is still holding up like new. I do wish that the vibration was a little stronger, sometimes I don't feel it if I'm on the tractor or driving through the fields. Still a great watch.

I love the vibration alarms. Wakes me up early without disturbing my wife. Silent reminders too. It does seem to run a little fast though. Love it otherwise

Good, been using it for work for a few years now and been holding up strongly

A really nice watch with good simple features and a stylish look. Its dial is bigger than some of the Casio G-Shocks and it is one of the best watches in this price range!

Perfect size, big digits so easy to read and easy to set up

I've been wearing Timex watches for most of my life, so when my last one died after the gasket that made it water-tight rotted out, and I neglected to replace it, I was looking for a new Timex to replace it. I was initially drawn towards this one because of the vibration alarm feature. The vibration itself isn't worth writing home about, as it isn't jarring enough to wake someone (at least not from the kind of deep sleep that I have). It is a fun feature, and if I find a way to have the alarm just do a vibration instead of a chime, it would be useful as a subtle reminder as opposed to the beeping chime. That being said, the vibration alarm isn't the only interesting feature that this watch has. It also has a calendar function so that you can program in events and appointments, so that the watch can remind you of those things. The indiglo backlight is pretty standard of other Timex watches, providing enough light that if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can just use my watch to make sure that I don't trip over things. Unlike my previous Timex watches, the indiglo only lights up the numbers as opposed to the whole face of the watch, but this actually makes it easier to read the time, so it is a nice feature. I was originally concerned about the size of the face of watch and how it would feel on my writs, as I was used to a smaller Timex Expedition model. I'm happy to say that they have have successfully designed the watch and band to be comfortable. I had seen some reviews about people who felt that the original band was too tight, but as someone who doesn't have the smallest wrists, I can say that this wasn't a problem for me. I'm not sure if it will still be as comfortable when I inevitably have to replace the band with something different, but I don't see any reason that the watch would be any less comfortable with the metal bands that I eventually replace these plastic bands with. All in all, it is an excellent watch and is serving me well as a daily-wear item.

O relógio atende as expectativas. A função alarme e outros comandos com a função vibrate também é o diferencial. A prova d'água e pulseira bem resistente. Melhor que outros modelos da marca timex.
