Product Description
From the mountains to the sea, Timex Expedition has no boundaries. Worn by extreme outdoor adventurists like Conrad Anker, Timex Expedition belongs to the great outdoors.

Amazon.com Product Description
Slip on this powerfully styled Timex stainless steel men's chronograph watch (model 45951) when you're feeling the need for speed. It features engraved tachymeter readings on the silver, coin-edged bezel, which can be used to measure time over distance, as well as a 4-hour chronograph that measures 1/20th seconds, seconds, and minutes. This stylish watch features a large, round silver watch case and cream dial, which is complemented by the three silver-outlined chronograph subdials and luminous hands (with seconds hand). It also has a date window at 4 o'clock that incorporates Timex's Quick-Date feature with a three-position crown that makes setting the watch quick and easy. Other features include a water-resistant brown leather strap (with white contrast stitching), 4-year battery life, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

5 out of 5 stars Some things you might want to know   December 11, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this watch because of the way it looks. I was going to buy the Timex Expedition T47902, another Expedition, about the same price, most notably the alarm is set by the face dial. That watch would have been cool, but in a world of a billion watch styles, appearance is everything. I like digitals, but they just come off Geeky with any kind of clothing, IMO.

1. The watch isn't white as shown in the picture. The face is ivory colored, and the hands are luminescent. No, they don't glow as well as the old radium watches, but you won't give you cancer either. IMO, gives the watch more character, and the dial is more legible than I expected.

2. The watch is thicker than I expected, mainly when you view it on end with one of the straps facing you. Less of a problem than I thought at first. It doesn't look thick from the crown side, and wearing the watch, no one, including you, views it from the side, maybe an ant crawling on your wrist band. Smash him before he bites you. I like the way it looks on my wrist.

3. The battery lasts 4 years. Wow. If I get two, from playing with the Indiglo button too much, I'll be happy.

4. For $5, paid to Timex, you can extend the warranty by 4 years, making it a 5 year warranty. Hmmm...if the watch won't tick, glow, alarm, chronograph, etc. they will fix or replace, as long as the face isn't broken. If you hit the face just right, you could break it, but it's odds for survival are better than yours, you name the activity.

5. The watch is water resistant to 100M, not 165ft, Timex website.

6. The instructions, and box the watch comes in are rather Spartan, almost funny, you really don't need either much. You don't have worry about paying for a fancy box. The instructions is a rolled up piece of tissue paper, used for half the watches they make, and in 3 different languages. On one piece of tissue paper? Yeah, the writing is small. It's sort of a test. It does tell you how to initialize the chronometer, and it does tell you not to push the buttons under water. It tells you nothing about how a chronometer works, so if you don't already know, their instructions are cryptic. The Timex website is not much better. They are saving on words there too.

7. I found out through Google that the chronometer on this watch actually works, and the dial at the 2 o'clock position actually does function. It's a stopwatch. How about that? The dial at the 6 o'clock position functions as the second hand, like what you are used to on a regular watch with a second hand. The large second hand sweep is fixed at 12 o'clock, until you press the upper button on the right. When pushed, the large sweep measures the seconds, the dial at the 10 o'clock position measure minutes elapsed up to 30 minutes, and the dial at the 2 o'clock position remains fixed. When the button is pushed again, like a stopwatch, second and minute sweeps stop to show elapsed time, and a that point the 2 o'clock dial shifts to tell you how many tenths of a second, to add to the elapsed minutes and seconds. The button at the lower left resets the chronometer.

8. The instructions said something about the lower left button also working with split timing, but I couldn't understand how it worked. As you can tell, all this is new to me, so If someone else can help, that would be nice.

9. The alarm operates from the lower right crown/button. It works well, but probably not as convenient as a dial operated alarm, like the T47902. I don't know for sure. I didn't buy that watch. There are some tradeoffs here. Cool looking water resistant chronometer vs. nifty dial alarm. What can I say? The need to be macho to the max overtook me. Hooah.

The watch is fun, not a big investment, looks cool, and I'll never have to worry about taking it off for fear of an activity breaking the watch. Damn the torpedoes. I say buy the watch if you like the way it looks.



4 out of 5 stars Simple and Elegant   July 28, 2008

I have had this watch for almost two weeks. It's been good so far. First under $60 this watch is worth every penny. It looks very professional. 2 things I hate about the watch is that the strap will wear out within 1-2 year and If you have sweaty wrist you can easily stain the leather strap. Overall a very good buy EXCEPT FOR THE SECONDS HAND STOPPING EVERY 4 HOURS !!! but not a big deal one click and back to where it is.


3 out of 5 stars Jazzy watch, Lacks other features.   June 29, 2008

If you want to buy me a gift for christmas, don't get me a wristwatch. Not because I don't like wristwatches, I love them. I'm just extremely picky about the right kind of watch. When it comes to watches, I'm a tough customer. Why? A good watch is something that's ALWAYS on your person! A good watch should last 3-5 years on average. Additionally, I want a wrist watch that has a vibrating alarm, chronometer, compass and ideally a temperature gauge as well ALL in analog! That said, this watch is a decent product. I only give it three stars because it lacks the other features I crave for a watch, but for it's solid design and chronometer, it's great. I would have preferred the option of a metal band, but for the price, this is a VERY professional-looking pilot-like watch.


5 out of 5 stars Great watch, great price   June 9, 2008

I bought this watch at Target for $75. I should have bought it on Amazon for $60.

This watch looks great, elegant and casual. Even the leather band is both elegant and casual.

It is stainless steel and water resistant to 100 meters, allowing swimming and snorkeling. It is not too heavy, despite it's thickness.

The chonograph is fun easy to use and fun to play with. The alarm is easy to set. The indiglo light and "night mode" makes it even more useful than my citizen chronograph.
