[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

It's a great watch, well thought out, very durable. It has everything I need in a watch. As long as Timex keeps making this watch I'll keep buying them.

Easy to read

The LCD face has a soft green background and is easy to read. Nice wrist strap. My first one lasted 12 years.
i have owned about 10 of these monsters over the years, one just as good as the next. could not find it on website for quite a while, then checked on a whim, and found it !! bought 2, just in case it disappeared again...buy extra web straps, they tend to wear out a lot sooner than the watch.
The Expedition is a great watch at a very competitive price. But the watch band is not to my satisfaction.

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.

Dark Display Models Are Impossible To See
on April 25, 2017

I love this watch and got the green/orange model with the light display ... and everything was perfect. My wife wanted one too, so I ordered the neon green with the dark display for her ... she couldn't see the display, and I had to return it and order a model with the light display. Great watch, but very bad decision by Timex to have made those with dark displays. Buy the light display models ... avoid the dark display models.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
