TimexExpedition Camper Men's 38 mm Watch

A nice little watch at a price the means you don't have to worry about bashing it. The 38mm size is misleading as this includes the little protrusions near the crown and on the opposite side. Without these it is only 36mm which suits my 6.75" wrist. The face is very clear so you can read the time at a glance. The hands have long lasting lume but obviously you have indiglo if it's very dark. My watch is loosing 3 seconds a week which is fine at this price point. I noticed that it lost more time if you use the backlight but this could be that the battery needs replacing as it arrived ticking and I no Idea how long it's been in storage. Strap is very comfortable and the whole package is as light as a feather. One thing that did impress me was that the second hand hits all the batons on the way round. I've paid more in the past for watches that can't manage that. You can sometimes here it ticking but it's not at the volume of the Weekender if you are familiar with that model. I'm very satisfied with this simple low priced watch. Only gripe; Timex, please pull the crown out before dispatch so that the watch arrives with a full battery.

This nightglow watch has been around for decades. Built to withstand kids use when kids did real outdoor rugged things and not spend all day in house on computer games. I have had one for years and I mean years battery still ticking away. Water proof shock proof and a great secure strap. One that is comfortable better than leather or metal and does not rub. I bought this as it was on offer and such a lot of watch for the money. Looks good, light weight and versatile. So easy to use. As I say had one for years its accuracy is epic.

This watch was purchased as a special treat for a child who had recently learnt to tell the time. It was a gift and the recipient was delighted with it. Despite the one, I received having had a somewhat tatty box.The watch comes in a neutral colour and has a large face with big numbers; which are clear to read. The only issue is that the date can be found where the number '3' should be and this can be confusing for a child who is trying to gain confidence when telling the time and sees numbers above '12' on the watch (the date and time of day are in the same colour and font and almost of identical size).Still the hands are flourescent and the whole face lights up in the dark - so reading it's well past your own bedtime is possible.The strap is made of velcro so can be adjusted to fit a growing child's wrist but it would be better if it was made of plastic (as the watch is waterproof) so it doesn't need to be taken on and off: on and off all the time. Equally the straps can get dirty and cling on to dust/debris as your child is outside. Equally the band is somewhat uncomfortable especially if it does get wet.The watch is clearly not for a man - the strap isn't long enough - but the face is large and it can look a bit cumbersome on a child's arm. Still I like its simple, sleek design. Actually I like it being big and the watch looks robust and that it won't break or easily get damaged. Good as boys tend to be a bit rough.....All in all though it is a good watch at a reasonable price and from an average, well-known manufacturer. They are not outstanding and there are issues with the watch (where improvements could be made, that are simple and inexpensive) but good enough for the job. And if it gets lost, I wouldn't get to gloomy about it and would probably end us replacing it with same one.

This watch is superbly designed for it's purpose. The black resin case is very tough as is the black nylon strap. The watch is water resistant to 100m/360ft so the watch is effectively waterproof for all water based activities. The large hands and numerals are easy to read at a glance which is ideal for cycling or similar activities when a quick look is all that can be spared. The watch face includes a date window which is also large and clear. The hands are luminous and the watch also has the 'Indiglo' backlight feature for viewing at night.My only criticism is the 20mm nylon strap which is fastened with Velcro. This is great when new as it is tough, secure and comfortably fits all wrist sizes. However, this will only last as long as the Velcro but replacement straps are easy to obtain.A very good watch . I'm very pleased.

I love this watch so much. Not that I’m old fashioned but it’s so beautiful and unique looking that it’s just perfect.

Great item for both sea swimming and seeing time at night.

I like the watch and the styling but it has some flaws that you really want sorted when purchasing this type of watch. I use it when travelling or hiking mainly not as an everyday watch due to its purpose and styling.Positives, its easy to read and robust, the styling is rugged and suits its purpose. However, it seems to be losing time slowly, over the course of 2 weeks it has fallen circa 3 minutes slow and I have to keep adjusting. Additionally the date function keeps falling behind, not that I use it that much but it should work as a minimum. The backlight is fine but doesnt give you a clear indication at first glance.The strap is fabric and it is getting really stinky, even when I wash it there is a smell of suncream and sweat! I appreciate that that will be the case with a fabric strap but the ridges on the underside seem to capture it and make it hard to remove.I havent been diving or swimming with it but the watch seems splash and waterproof.Overall, for the price it is decent but it fails to do the basics as well as it should for such a well known brand.
