After removing the plastic time stopper I immediately noticed that the second hand was broken and freely swinging. The chronograph hands were also not zeroed properly and also did not operate properly. Two visible defects directly out of the box. This is a sign of poor quality control and cheap parts/ assembly. Never buying timex again. Timex is obviously just producing quantity not quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused you. A member of our Customer Service team will be contacting you today to address the issue.
This watch looks great with its dial and hands reminiscent of an aircraft altimeter. The chronograph features work great and so does the lume on the hands, plus it's a comfortable watch to wear. And to top it off it was on sale and Timex offered an additional 20% off, very nice.
The band is a bit lighter and grayer than the online picture and I would like it to be a bit longer than it is. It keeps good time so far and the stop watch works well. All in all a good watch at a good price.
Watchband too small. You don.t offer a larger band option. Almost sent the watch back, but finally found Xlarge aftermarket band. Wouldn’t take on the hassle again.

Hello Dontdonicknames,
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback.
We sincerely apologize if you found the leather strap smaller than expected. While this strap was designed to fit a standard wrist size of 5.9-8.1 inches, we do understand that each customer is unique and has varied preferences when it comes to the size and style of watch they wear. For a perfect fit, you may want to consider a metal expansion band watch next time, which can be adjusted by adding or removing some links.
Thank you again for leaving a review and for keeping the watch. Rest assured that we will forward your comments to our Design and Development team for future watch style consideration.
If you need further assistance, please call our Customer Service team at 800-448-4639 or e-mail us at custserv@timex.com, and we will be more than happy to assist you. Here are our hours of operation:

This Expedition (and all my others) are perfect for work on our ranch. They are durable, keep accurate time and the Indiglo is awesome at night and in low light situations...like birthing calves in the middle of the night.
I bought a this "Timex Men's TW4B10200 Expedition" watch from Amazon. But the chronograph did not work and the crown got out. The Amazon exchanged items. The same happened with that watch. The quality of this watch is lower than the watch of the toy I used when I was a child. I was disappointed in this watch. You should not sell this watch. Otherwise the image of Timex brand will go down.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had two of these watches after the crown broke of the first one. After a few weeks of owning the replacement the crown has all ready broken of. Terrible quality for something that is marketed as a "Rugged outdoor watch". Timex should be ashamed.
