Expedition Camper Men's 39 mm Watch

I love this watch! I bought this because I wanted an analog/digital with a with a better read out than my Casio AW 81, and this certainly did not disappoint. At first, I was unsure because the band was uncomfortably stiff, and the watch was definitely plastic. Plastic case, plastic buttons, and an acrylic crystal. However, this is a quality time piece. I synced up the secondhand with the digital read out which occupies the bottom of the watch face. I have a Casio analog/digital that is nice and it’s comfortable and it is easy to read, but its light is useless! This watch, however, has Indiglo! And the best part is when you activate the Indiglo it actually lights up the digital characters with the same blue glow. And it has a really cool feature that Timex has been putting on many of their recent releases…a night mode. If you press the button for the indigo and hold it down for 3 to 4 seconds it will automatically go into a night mode. With a night mode, any one of the buttons will light up the screen for three seconds. That feature alone makes this the one of the best watches Timex makes!

This is the nicest looking watch Timex has done in a long time. I have worn their Expedition watches before, usually my watch of choice for deployments, because they are basically indestructible. And if they do get scuffed or beat up, they do not cost a fortune to replace. I like the features of this particular watch. The rotating bezel is a major plus. The crystal is slightly recessed behind the bezel to protect it from scratches. And the watch is waterproof. The visibility of the dial and hands is excellent both in daylight and using the awesome Indeglow feature. The nylon fabric watchband is double layer of contrasting color and looks good. The band is stiff for a fabric band, but is surprisingly comfortable and smooth feeling on the arm. I found myself forgetting to take it off at night. I like the analog/digital combo. The digital area defaults to time. It is small and does not light up with the Indeglow. A single button press brings up the date, which is a plus. There are too many features to the tiny digital area: timers, lap, time zones, alarm, etc. With only 3 buttons to seek and set everything, it can be fiddly. Overall, this is one tough watch that is more than it has a right to be. Great value for the money at this low price point.

Watch comes with no user setup info, but website has manual. Setup was OK. The wrist strap is very stiff and hard to close and open, but I suppose it will get better with usage. Watch looks great and operates just fine.

Good watch. Wish it was a larger face, but comfortable and good looking.

I have had the identical model watch for almost 20 years. Much like many of the other reviews, the crown fell off when resetting the time to a new time zone. I guess the watch was made a bit more sturdy decades ago and something about the manufacturing process changed. My watch is not easily fixable because the stem itself broke and cannot be repaired; it would need a new stem and crown since the end of the stem is still stuck in the crown. My previous watch kept great time and I found it was relatively easy to program. Because the watch was reliable for so long, I bought another even though it now costs twice as much. The new one was not functional when it arrived. The box the watch came it was damaged because it was sent in an amazon envelope rather than the small Amazon mailing box, although the watch itself seemed fine even though it was dead. I thought it no problem as I have changed the battery a few times on the old watch - the case was held on by four small Phillips head screws. Unfortunately, Timex changed their design and now the case is fastened by far less common triangle head screws. I have precision Phillips screwdrivers for several electronic devices but have nothing with triangle head screws. Of course the one screwdriver that will fit those screws is not sold independently - it is sold in a kit with several other sizes. So, I would have to buy a largely useless kit for the one screwdriver that I would use about every 4-5 years. Timex customer support was responsive but not helpful. Their solutions were to send the watch back to Timex for warranty work which may have taken months as the rep stated it would be sent out of the country, or to go to a local watch repair/jeweler and likely incur a labor charge for a watch that didn't work upon arrival. Based on other reviews, I'd say build quality and the quality control have declined over the years. Be advised; that is what you may be in for if you choose this watch.

The Timex Expedition T45181 is a basic all around outdoor watch. It has the usual features: digital time, alarm, chronometer, bezel, etc., plus a easy to read dial. The case and function knobs are plastic, but the back is metal. NOTE: This watch does NOT come with instructions on how to use any of the features. You can find Youtube videos to assist and/or you can use the old push the buttons until you figure it out. There are function labels on the inside of the corresponding buttons to help assist but it takes some trial and error, which is time consuming and at times, frustrating. Be prepared to use a few choice words until you figure it out. ONE NOTE: I haven't figured out how to list the date/time on the dial. Not even sure if that function exists. All in all, it is a basic watch and the band is nothing spectacular but totally functional. It's too bad that a company with Timex's history won't include instructions or make them easily available on line.

Watch is good for the price. It feels light and a bit plastic but appears to be solid/well built. The strap I quite stiff but after a bit of use it fits well. The idiglo light works/looks great but the instructions are definitely sub-par. Most of the basics aren't covered in them and neither are nifty things to know like hold the light button for 3 seconds to change what the light button does when pressed... overall happy with the look of the watch and the quality.
