Timex Men's Expedition Scout 40mm Watch

Note: If it doesn't work initially out of the box put it on a window sill for 10-15 minutes and it should begin to tick. Expensive watches are great and so is this watch. The funny part about Timex watches is that I never hesitate to buy one I like because they just never die. Although I tend to by some more pricey stuff these days my first watch was a Timex I got for Christmas in second grade, it still works, that was 30 years ago and it went through the ringer. None of my Timex's have ever stopped (excluding batteries obv). I bought a Nato strap for this because I assumed for $50ish bucks the leather one would be sub-par. Not so, it was nice and I'll use it again at some point, comfortable out of the box too. A small downside is you will need a strap tool to remove it. Solar powered, that speaks for itself which is awesome at the price point. The styling is honestly one of the nicest looking field watches I've seen. Basic, legible, functional, exactly what a field watch should be. I'm not a stickler for incredible lume on a watch but for the price point I couldn't believe it. If you walk outside, even with clouds and charges up and you can see it just walking inside, it lasts for hours. It's the best I have on any watch which is both impressive and frustrating at one since some of them are 10-15 times the price. I've been wearing it 75% of the time since I got it 3 weeks ago, gotten multiple complements. I got the Annefit strap on Amazon, it's great but I have a 7.5 inch wrist and still have extra slack that stick out so trim it or something or it will look foolish.

I was looking for a straightforward, no-nonsense daily wear watch that could handle the outdoors without me having to baby it, and the Timex Men's Expedition Scout completely fits the bill. The classic military field watch styling looks fantastic—it’s simple, rugged, and hits the absolute sweet spot for average wrists without feeling overly bulky or heavy. The dial is incredibly easy to read at a glance, and having both standard and 24-hour military time markers is a great touch for a quick reference. What truly makes this watch a staple, though, is the iconic Indiglo backlight; you just press the crown, and the entire face lights up with a perfect, even glow that makes checking the time in pitch-black conditions completely effortless. It has easily survived heavy rain storms and accidental splashes with its 50-meter water resistance, and the quartz movement keeps remarkably accurate time. The strap feels durable right out of the box and breaks in comfortably after just a few days of wear. While it does have that classic, audibly loud Timex "tick" in a dead-silent room, it's a minor tradeoff for a practically indestructible, highly functional timepiece that looks way more expensive than its budget-friendly price tag.

Nice little basic watch you don't have to worry about. It looks and works well all at a very reasonable price.

I bought this watch as I work in a very busy unit that monitors multiple screens of patients EKG and respiratory status. We record our calls and the time of them to alert staff to changes and potentially dangerous findings. Its vital to have a watch that keeps good time and even more vital to have a watch that's extremely easy to read in ALL lighting conditions. This one does both, at a price that was surprisingly good. Pressing the crown lights the dial and is very easy to see in dim light. HIghly rated for its visibility alone. This is NOT a solar watch, it has a replaceable battery. But I gladly make that trade for the wonderful visibility that requires just the quickest glance to tell the time. Additionally the watch seems to be well made, it's heavier than the typical digital watch. The leather band also seems thick and sturdy. Overall I HIGHLY recommend this watch and feel it was great value for the price. At the time I registered my watch on the Timex website they even included a lifetime warranty. Granted that's not a massive issue with a relatively economical watch, but it does speak to the confidence the company has in their product. As noted the watch does have some weight to it. And it probably is not the best watch for someone who wants a small watch. Neither of those factors were important to me. I've gotten compliments on this watch and it is good looking imho.

The Quality was exactly the standard that timex set for the most affordable, most durable, most useful, most attractive watches in the industry. I've owned this one since 2022. I have to say it's all of the above WITH ONE EXCEPTION: The Indiglo never worked from the moment I took it out of the box. I didn't think anything of it. I thought it was another diluted standard brought on by the corporate enshitification so pominent in the world today. I WAS WRONG! For under 35$, who cares? It's 2025 and I'm buying another one. I put this thing through hell. I work on Industrial Refrigeration and Mechanical Infrastructure. I'm rough on everything I own and my hands and arms are exposed to 130 degree F Condesner relief temps regularly, 170 degree F Asphalt Equipment Pads (on which I stand for hours in the direct sunlight) in 115 degree F Ambient air temps all while keeping track of timing of sequences of operations, using My Timex as my number-one tool for keeping track of that kinda stuff. Diagnosis would not happen without it. Accuracy: Hmm. a little behind the iphone weekly or monthly; loses about 5 minutes a month? maybe less. Either way, when I was trying to set it to the current time the other day, I pulled the crown right out of the watch to try and set the time. I put it back in and committed to purchasing another one. The crown is still in there, the watch still is keeping time (more slowly) and I just can't update the time it has lost. So in a month or so from now, it will be too far behind the actual time to be useful for me. Very well worth the cost! UPDATE: two months after purchasing the new watch, the indiglo stopped working when I needed in my sleep last night. I have contacted timex. I'll update this review once I get a robo-response from them.

Upon opening my timex solar expedition, I noticed the bands were on the opposite sides, making the watch “upside down”. Not sure if this is just a lack of quality control from Timex, or if this was maybe a returned watch that Amazon decided to resell. The watch is beautiful, and timex is a workhorse of a watch, making it an ideal field watch. I like the tan leather band that comes with it, but it’s not exactly my style. So I added a black nylon 20mm strap, and it looks incredible. The watch has very nice and large numbers making it very easy to read. When charged, the watch is very easy to read in the dark, though it seems the lum doesn’t last super long. The second hand lines up with about 50% of the tick marks and is slightly off on the remaining. Overall, a high quality field watch for under $50!

It's a great watch. The bin's very comfortable I've been wearing not neutrilistic night on bands for many years. You don't have to worry about getting the band wet. Because weather, once you get it wet, it's destroyed. But the watch, it's very accurate. It's got a beautiful presentation. It's just the right weight. You know, defend super comfortable. And it's very easy to set. I mean, I baby, I baby, my watches. I'm so as much as I try not to get a little scratchy Martino. It happens, but generally they hold up very well and over, you know, I keep them for about 3 years. And you know, then I refoice them with the same model. So I've been buying the same model. Watches like especially this one for many years. And yeah, I bought another time X iron. And you know, a couple days ago, and they're just great watches, you know, so and there, I mean, there are about $20 less than ¥, the cassios, but but this is, you know, a little more dressier, which is what I wanted. So that that's one of the reasons why I bought it. You know plus I've had this brand I've been, you know, I've always loved the expedition series. And the ironman that I focused the other day is also very good too. So those series of arches are great, they're great watches. Do one thing I want to mention about the, you know, they don't have to keep Earth that shift their stationary. So you don't have to worry about this, annoying thing. And the keepers on the an ironman that I got the other day. Ian, you know, it's got the one top keeper and the one top lug. You know, I mean you can adjust the bands which I have done. But I would advise not doing it, because if you've got a really small wrist, I mean, I almost have a wrist of it's 6 holes for you know, from where the top to the middle comes to. So you know, the keepers, you know, I didn't even adjust it. Because it was, you know, you know, because you had destroyed the integrity of the band I believe.And you know, and there's enough room in there.In other word, bows not to wear it not away.The bands, the rubber bands, especially on time x.Going, you know, they're put perfectly.So you can.So you can have it on a high adjustment.And even an even bring the keeper down.And you're going to get great performance out of it

Got this on sale for a little over $30, and it easily hits well beyond that. The dial is highly legible and the font on the legends is quite nice. The orange on the seconds hand is a good contrast to the rest of the watch. The illumination is great and easy to activate. The stainless steel case feels sturdy, just like a field watch should feel. The only thing I'm iffy on is the eco friendly strap, but it's been 2 weeks and it seems to be holding up okay for now. For sizing, I have a 6.75" wrist, which is on the smaller side. The case is a bit on the larger size for my wrist size, but it's at the upper limit of what I'm personally willing to accept, so I can't complain. This is definitely more of an out and about sort of watch. It's something you can throw around and not worry about it getting smashed up. Casio and Timex excel at making watches like this. I wouldn't say its as versatile as my other watches, and I wouldn't wear this while trying to dress more elevated. That's not what this watch is meant for anyway. Now onto the main con. This watch is loud. I can hear it right now while it's on my desk. I can hear it on my wrist in between keystrokes while typing at the office. I actually don't want to put this on my nightstand because I'd hear it in my nightmares. I think me and a lot of watch lovers actually enjoy listening to how different watches tick, but being able to do it at arms length is a little overboard. Thankfully, I don't spend a ton of time in quiet environments and I don't keep my watches in the bedroom, so I don't have to deal with this problem very often.
