Expedition Metal Field 40mm Men’s Analog Watch | Luminous Hands | 24 Hour Time | Quick Date Function | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 50M Water Resistance

Only a few days in, but I'm very happy with this watch. The case is substantial, it's easy to read the high contrast dial, and the crystal is glass, not plastic. I even like the machining grooves on the sides of the case. They also engraved the battery size and lug width on the back cover - first time I've seen that. I expect the fancy stitched leather band to wear out fairly fast, but in the meantime it looks great. Timex proves the power of mass production and good QC to make a watch this good at such a low price.

Had mine for about 2 years now! Keeps time just fine. Maybe falls a minute or two off every few months. Has a nice audible tick if thats your thing! The watch band isnt bad. I just replaced mine cause it was getting smelly beyond what I could clean. That said, if the band is too light for you, it darkens right up after some leather conditioner. In terms of durability, I knock it into stuff all the time and no scratches on the face so far!

Unlike many of its Expedition brethren, the T47012 is QUIET. Whether you're camping out or just couch surfing, this timepiece provides Indiglo performance without a distractingly loud accompaniment. The brass case inspires more confidence in the stated 50m of water resistance than the resin cases of more recent versions. The leather band is nicely supple, immediately comfortable, and of better overall quality than you might expect at this price point. My one minor caveat is that while the wave pattern dial looks fantastic in normal light (one of the main reasons I chose this model), it interferes with the timekeeping legibility just a tad in Indiglo mode. Otherwise, I think this is the best Expedition in this price range, providing great value, quality, and performance.

This review mainly serves as a reminder for people who may not look close enough before they place the order. This watch is a good watch and I receive a well-made product. Very comfortbale on wrist. Looks great. Very good value for its price. I am kind of a Timex fan, owning a few Timex watches for quite some years. One was bought in 2001 and just started not working last year. This Expedition's quality is just like all other Timex watches I own: care free, well-built for its price, and long lasting, which I believe this one will also be. The reason I am buying this Expedition is I need a field watch that is big enough. The spec of this Expedition is listed as 40mm case diameter and I thought that should be big enough. Turns out the dial looks quite small when you have it on your wrist. The photo is a comparison between Timex Easy Reader (35mm case diameter) and this Expedition (40mm case diameter). You can see their dial diameter are pretty much the same. After measuring it is around 30mm-31mm. The Arabic numerals on the Expedition actually are smaller than the Easy Reader. Well I guess that's why they name it the Easy Reader. All in all, this Expedition looks and reads time smaller than your typical 40mm watch. Mostly it is becasue the bezel/frame takes out quite some real estate of the 40mm diameter which I didn't pay attention to when I ordered.

It's a beautiful watch. Sleek and simple. The light up face is kinda cool. However, if you are a big guy like me you might have a hard time with the band. I was only able to use the first notch. Apparently it's meant for men with skinny wrists.

Med. Size display is great with a quality ban

Good looking, a little smaller than I expected, but works fine. Great buy for $32.

11/7/15 UPDATE - I've only had this watch less than one month with very mild use and the band is already starting to shred. Now I'm paying an extra $10 bucks for another band. Very Nice. 3 Stars Because The Band Is Just Okay Quality, Not Nearly As Dark Or Thick As Picture Indicates, and Doesn't Match Up So Well With The Face. Plus, the face backdrop is dark grey and not black and this watch was a second choice as replacement for my original order. I Originally Ordered The Much Nicer T49261(in my opinion) More Bold, White Back, Better All Leather Band that I returned because with white hands on the white back made it to much of a strain to read the time so I switched it out for this one. However, I did note the indiglo light works much much brighter & better with the white back watches verses these watches with dark grey/black backs. OKAY - This Particular Watch Looks Much Like The Picture With The Exception Of The Band Not Being As Dark And Thick As Picture Indicates - A simple clean looking watch for daily use. The band is composed of a decent quality combo 50% dark brown leather and 50% nylon. Also, the band is a little more on the rugged side and my personal view is an all leather band would have matched up much better with the dressier face on this particular watch. Only Two More Things I Think Need To Be Pointed Out : A) Watch measures approximately 9.5" fully stretched out. So if your wrist is large you may want to reconsider. B) When it first arrived I thought it was defective because when I tried to set it and test the indiglo light the dial would not push in or pull out. FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON THESE IDIOTS PUT A TINY PIECE OF PLASTIC VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE PREVENTING THE DIAL FROM ANY MOVEMENT. This tiny invisible obstructive plastic piece needs to be removed before you can set this watch. This is still a very nice Watch and as with all Timex watches - Outstanding Value For The Money. That's It - hope I helped someone.

Un orologio buon prezzo, buon qualità ,arrivato in pochi giorni ,vedremo quanto durerà il mio marito le perde quasi tutti mesi 😊

Reloj muy bien construido, ligero, sistema de iluminación impresionante, el tamaño de la caja ni grande ni pequeña, la esfera te facilita la hora en un segundo , la correa de cuero con doble pespunte esta diseñada , como no, para este reloj. No le encuentro por ahora ningun defecto.

Beautiful field watch. The band takes few days to be soften. I have one complain that it arrives me by outer box broken and the watch is open and exposed. But it reaches me without any damage.

Buena maquina a un muy buen precio. Presencia elegante, excelente diseño. Lo recomiendo para regalo tiene empaque y finura. Viene muy bien empaquetado dentro de su estuche con las instrucciones.

You decide to go glamping. Camping with comfort. Since you are not twenty years old anymore and are finished sleeping on roots and rocks in a crappy tent half dead from alcohol poisoning. You rent a motorhome. One with all the hookups for electrics and plumbing, LED TV and lighting and a full kitchen. Hot water shower and an awesome bedroom. You have your site booked in Nova Scotia, ocean front and all the amenities. You pack all your clothes, hoodies, lumberjack shirts and camo pants and all. Now to pick a wristwatch. You settle on the Timex T40051 Expedition. Metal case, mineral glass (recessed) and a really fun dial with some color and pop. It has elements of traditional field watches. Not such a big case size (40mm) and 24 hour markers with a plain easy to read dial and photo luminescent hands and numbers. No usual Timex Indiglo light, but the lume will do just fine. It seems just the perfect style. Rugged and water resistant, fun colors and easy to read and stylish enough to wear while the barbeque cooks up something amazing for dinner. The genuine leather strap is comfortable and really well made. It keeps really good time, spot on with your cell phone, though you are mostly wearing it for fashion since you are on vacation. Goodbye deadlines!
