This watch is replacing an old Expedition I have had for several years, I especially like the 3 alarms, that way I don't miss meals;>). I would like a metal band that is a little longer than the one that is on the watch, or at least a longer band since the one that came with the watch is tighter than I like.
The Expedition watch is sturdy and works for everyday wear. The numbers are big enough to read even without glasses. An improvement idea? Ditch the combination leather/fabric strap. Stick with one or the other.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you reaching out! We will take your input into consideration for future watch releases.
This is a nice practical watch and the band is very comfortable. This is the first Timex I have had where the Indiglo is activated by a top button. This is a great idea because on many of the watches I have had it is very easy to accidentally activate the Indiglo by simply bending your wrist back. This solves that problem. Please be aware that this is a medium sized watch. If you like the huge thick watches that are out there this probably isn't for you but personally I like the size!
My husband always bought this Timex watch because it's easy to read with the large numbers and it's bright. Unfortunately, this particular model has a velcro strap and not the usual leather. It looks cheap ... he was disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best watch I’ve owned, this is probably the 5th or 6th one I’ve had. Rugged enough for military and firefighting and I love the low profile and large digital display.
Owned one of these for 25 plus years, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, etc. I ordered a new as a result of my band breaking, however I got a replacement band and a new watch which is in my drawer waiting on this one to die. May never happen but the watch is durable and perfect on time keeping. 👍👍👍
