The battery code of this watch is CR2025. Timex strongly recommends that a retailer or jeweler replace the battery. **Q: How many alarms does this watch have.** A: 3 alarms (each can be set for weekdays, daily or weekends), one timer (can be toggled to stop at end or automatically resetting for set amount of time) and a stopwatch which can manually count 'laps' or count up to when all of the digits fill up, I'm not exactly sure what the stopwatch is capable of counting up to. But this watch has quite a few handy functions. **Q: The picture shows the dial with with a light gray background, and some reviews state the dial is dark. Which is correct?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. The dial has a gray background but in some angle it may look darker. **Q: Does the stopwatch screen also show the current time?** A: Thank you for your inquiry. No. It would not show the time. You would only see the stopwatch screen.

As for watches itself - overal impression is good. Bought this, because needed tough, reliable, budget sport watch (not smartwatch) and that is what they are. Have also few g-shocks, which are in my opinion more stylish and the design is nicer. On the other hand Timex beat them with digits size, what you appreciate as your eyes are getting older. Rubber strap is a bit stiff, not really silicone soft feel, but I don't mind that. Beside that they do what i expeceted them to do - show time, they are simple to operate a look good and tough. Good for sports, work, pub, everyday use... I'm very satisfied. ## Frequently Bought Together - Timex Men's Expedition Base Shock 45mm Watch - Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Men’s Analog Watch | INDIGLO Backlight and Luminous Hands | Durable Comfortable Adjustable Strap | 24 Hour Time | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 50M Water Resistance - Timex Men's Expedition 41mm Watch - Black Strap Digital Dial Green Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/257485431-mens-expedition-base-shock-45mm-watch](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/257485431-mens-expedition-base-shock-45mm-watch) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
