A pretty good watch for the money. Alarm not trivial to set, but not so complex you have to dig out the instruction manual. A lot of mass to this watch. Most disappointing – after 18 months, the small painted ring with the alarm setting instructions has worn down to the bare brass. So, not as sturdy as I would have liked. Otherwise, no functional problems.

I am very pleased with my Timex easy set alarm wrist watch. It is, indeed, easy to set. I use it about twice a day.

I’ve had several men’s Expeditions in my watch box for the last twenty years. I have a handful of really high end watches from Patek Philippe to Citizen, but I love these Timex watches. I am really rough on my every day watches and buy a new one every few years or so and I am very happy with this latest version of the Expedition. Along with the fact that the analog display is just so easy to read and the indiglo makes it worry free night or day and that it keeps such accurate time, I think the “easy alarm” feature is genius. I use it practically every day, be it a quick nap at lunch or home, a business trip because wake up calls are so unpredictable, or for remembering an important meeting. All that for under $50!!! WOW, what a great value. It is simple and quick to use and so handy. Timex hit a home run with this watch.
The only things tht would make this a five star watch is for Timex to figure out a way to elimiate batteries. What a waste of time and money changing batteries are. Citizen’s Eco-Drive system is amazing and while I surly don’t expect that level of technology in a $40 watch, I’d pay more for an Expedition if I never had to replace the battery. Nonetheless, I sure hope they never discontinue the line. I’m still very rough on my Timex but I know that in a few years, I’ll just buy another one and enjoy it just as much.
Bottom line: Highly recommended 4.5 stars

An excellent watch. I wore it for the last 5 years and I did not tried to protected it at all. It still works great.
Pros: Nice design. Comfortable. Useful features, like alarm, very easy to set. Indiglo light works great. Water resistant – indeed.
Cons: The painted parts are going to defoliate soon after you start to use the watch (the black ring), exposing the copper underneath. The leather strap is going to rigidify after a while, if you intend to wear it while taking the showers.

You can find plenty of watches that are much more expensive but none that are a better value. I have many watches and all of them by far are more expensive than this one. However, this is the one that stays on my wrist. Why? This watch’s alarm is incredibly easy to set and therefore very useful. I am surprised at how many times I use the alarm now that I have this watch. Wife hates kitchen timers and yells from the kitchen, “let me know when 20 minutes are up”. In a few seconds the watch is set and I do not have to worry about forgetting to tell her. It also amazes me how accurate this watch is. I always synchronize my watches to the National Atomic Clock at least once a month. However, for most users you will not have to worry about resetting it when the daylight savings time changes and it will be perfectly fine. Finally, as with all Indiglo watches this one also has the perfect backlight. Perfect even illumination that is even and very pleasant to look at. My only fear is that they will stop making this watch so I got two so far. I may purchase a third just in case.
