I have lost track of how many "Expeditions" I have had...maybe 5. The Indiglo (the night light) feature is something I must have...and after many years it will fail. I love the whole watch and the improvements that the Timex team continues to come up with to make it easier to get around the functions, set, rely on, and keeping the cost down. This greenish model I love...it is unobtrusive, thin enough to fit under long sleeve cuffs, and has a surprisingly attractive band. Setting the functions is very easy and intuitive. As an every day watch it lives up to the old Timex saying, "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking!" There will always be as Expedition on my wrist!
The watch is stylish with a nice velcro band and I love the button for the back light overall the watch is a good value with an alarm to wake you up without the shrill of alarm clocks
The Expedition is a great watch at a very competitive price. But the watch band is not to my satisfaction.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Bob40,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We are delighted to hear that you like your Expedition watch. At the same time, we feel bad that it did not meet your expectations fully, especially the band. This type of material combines both leather and nylon and is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use. However, we do understand that each customer has varied preferences when it comes to the style of watch they wear. You might want to consider the other Expedition Chrono watch in this collection which has a pure nylon strap.
We work hard to meet expectations like yours and we are disappointed that we have not fully met your standards. We understand that there are areas that need improvement, and we are grateful that you took the time to let us know as we consider all feedback valuable for continuous improvement. We will make sure to pass on your comments to our Development Team!
If you have other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service Team at 1-800-448-4639 or email at custserv@timex.com, Monday - Friday 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
We adopted my son at 8 months old. Soon after he was diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome which makes learning about many abstract concepts (like time) very difficult for him. Over the years we have bought several watches both analog and digital but he has had difficulty with all of them. Now at 16, he has become more aware of his need for scheduling and consistency. His routines are his connections and he is often in need of knowing what time it is. I ordered this watch for several reasons: First, it was a Timex and was waterproof so he doesn't ever have to take it off. Needing to take of his previous watches has resulted in watches getting lost or taken. Second, it has a large digital face with easy to read numbers but doesn't eat your wrist. Third, it had day, date and time so you can ask him not only what time but what day it is. This helps him keep track of not only daily but weekly schedules. When someone is unsure of the date, he can also help people out by looking at the month and date on the watch. The ability to offer folks help is a real winner in his book. Finally, it was relatively inexpensive so that if he DID happen to lose it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Thank you Timex from both me and my son.
