Men's Expedition Camper 38mm Watch

This is a fabulous watch! I really love it. It is an exact replacement for one I bought more than 15 years ago and wore almost every day since then. It’s very water resistant - I wear it in the pool, in the shower, doing dishes, etc. It’s also very tough - I wore it hiking, biking, gardening, building, digging, etc. You name it and this watch and I have done it. The face did accumulate a few scratches in 15 years but nothing that made it unreadable. The light always goes out well before the battery really needs replacement but comes back with a new battery. I had to replace the band 3 times over the years, mostly because the leather at the buckle wears through, probably from getting wet so often. At one point I put a Velcro band on but I didn’t like the feel of the wet Velcro on my wrist and against my clothing as it dried after swimming daily. You should know a few things. 1. The band is made for a large wrist. Although a woman, I have a VERY large wrist and can not fit into most women’s watches at all but this watch fits me perfectly. If your wrist is slim, this won’t fit you. 2. The color is army green. The watch looks kind of like I got it at an army navy surplus store. I don’t mind that look (in fact I kind of like it) but if that will bother you, this watch isn’t for you. 3. This watch ticks loudly. I mean hear it clearly at night loudly. Again, I like it but it annoys my husband a little and my kids hate it. If the sounds will bother you, look elsewhere. You might be asking why I am replacing it since I love mine so much? After 15 years, the band got accidentally ripped out in such a way that one of the holes where the pin sits is now too big to hold the pin in place! Such a tiny defect to make a watch unwearable!!! I’m actually working on a kluge that might allow me to wear it again but in the meantime I needed a watch and I found this one again so I bought a replacement. If you are looking for a sturdy, easy-to-read analog watch with a date, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Timex Expedition watches are generally well known for being built to last and endure what the outdoors has to throw at it. I really like the look and feel of this watch. It wears very well, and the Velcro band can be adjusted to give you the right fit. The quality of the watch is good, and looking down at the watch and seeing the "Beagle Scouts" at work just brightens my day. I can't comment on the battery life since I just purchased it a week ago (and I'm not one to make frequent use of the Indiglo backlight), but I would anticipate about 4 years of use before needing the battery replaced. I'm really happy with the purchase, and I would recommend it to anyone who finds it interesting to them.

I love the functionality of this inexpensive watch. For the price, you get great timekeeping, a quartz movement, and great indiglo. Fits fine as it comes on a OEM nato strap of sorts. I love the black red and white coloring on the dial and strap. A very aesthetically pleasing watch for the price. With that said, the crystal DOES scuff easy as it's only acrylic, and the case itself feels cheap. But like I said, for the price, a great watch overall.

Hey, it's a Timex. What more need I say? Great quality for the price. I wear this watch every time I go skiing. I live in Colorado and hit the slopes 20 times a year. The watch has never failed me

I purchased this watch 4 months ago to hold me over while I weigh whether or not I want to invest in a far more expensive watch... I thought I might only wear this watch occasionally, but it quickly became my daily wear. I love the way it looks and didn't care much about anyone else's opinion... And then someone mistakenly guessed this watch was a Hamilton Khakis Field, which is at least 10x more expensive, so that is high praise! Great size on my wrist, comfortable, and love the Indiglo. My 2.5 year old daughter loves the Indiglo and the relatively loud ticking as well! Overall, great watch!

I had to return this watch because it is tiny. I did not realize that the watch band would not fit an adult wrist when I bought it. The quality of the watch is wonderful and I wish it fit me. I tried using another strap but the pins were too close to the watch and a regular strap is too thick to fit. So, if you are a kid or have tiny wrist this watch is for you.

My confession first. I am a watch nut. I own over 40 mechanical wrist watches currently and 90% if them are over $300 each, and many over $1000. But I always have two quartz watches I kept in my watch box to which all my luxury watches synchronize with. One of them is the Tissot T-Touch. And the other a Timex Ironman 30 from the early 1990s, which still keeps perfect time after close to 20 years of use, and it actually held up quite well cosmetically too. So needless to say, Timex to me presents superb quality and value. This camper expedition, is my second Timex after some 20 years and many expensive watches later. Of course, comparing it to a high end swiss mechanical will be asking too much, but I believe my expectation was reasonable and sound. The Good The matte resin case feels light weight but durable. The grey case offers a good contrast with the black military style dial. Acrylic crystal is sufficient for normal use, but it surely will be scratch from clumsy wrist movements. The band offers a very militaristic olive drab and black theme. Stainless buckle and rubber retainer. Modern size at close to 40mm case size. (Amazon got the case size wrong) I simply love the way this watch looks. Especially at a mere $27 shipped. The retail packaging and instruction are very detailed as well. The Bad Timex is known not only for its bargain prices, but it is supposed to be terrific at quality control. This camper, however, have lots of issues. Biggest problem comes from the canvas strap. There is a overlapping part of the canvas that holds the buckle in place. The hard adhesive has leaked out from the manufacturing process and produce very uncomfortable edges along the inner side of the strap, right where the center of the wrists contacts the watch. That is extremely annoying if you were to wear the watch for any period of time. There are two separate plastic pieces where the strap meets the case, that were designed to add a bit of style and comfortable angle for the strap. But unfortunately one of them on my watch came slightly deformed. The piece looks as though it was taken off the plastic molding too quickly while it was still warm and surfaces was not even. Last, a common problem for budget watches. The second hand doesn't line up exactly to the makers. This is an easy fix by opening the watch and manually affix the second hand again. But annoying none the less. All this still doesn't make this Timex a bad deal. It is very functional and keeps good time like any other quartz out there. But it does have a few issues for those of you who are thinking about it and have not made the decision. Best luck watch hunting ~

Summary: This is a review for the black "Camper" style Expedition watch with a black Velcro Fast Wrap band. This style is unique from the other Expedition Acadia watches offered by Amazon in that it has water resistance of 100M instead of 50M for the other models. I have seen some non-Amazon reviews showing this same black Timex Expedition watch with 50M water resistance, but mine is 100M. I believe that there is also a white dial version of this watch, too, that is available on Amazon, but it is listed separately from the other Acadia models. A quick rundown of watch details: 38mm resin case, quartz movement, 100M water resistant, Indiglo, push crown at 3 o'clock with modest protectors flanking the crown, date complication, hackable second hand, stainless steel screw down case back, Fast Wrap Velcro band, black dial, white Arabic numerals, small military time designations, flush acrylic face, white lumed minute and hour hands, and red second hand. All in all, a very simple watch design. Pros: Easy to read, durable, light weight, the second hand lines up with the dial markers, accurate, very comfortable band, excellent water resistance, Indiglo backlighting feature is excellent Cons: None, really. If I had to come up with some, I would say average lume on hands, will eventually have to replace the battery Review: The first thing I would say is that if you can still find one of these and you are in the market for a solid, dependable military-style field watch, stop reading this and buy it now while you can. At 30-ish dollars, you can't go wrong and there isn't much to lose. I have always been hard on watches. I have a digital Casio G-Shock, but I wanted a simple, analog field watch (without all the *stuff* on it) as a different style of beater watch. After some searching and looking at a lot of different watch reviews online (including reviews from soldiers who purchased Timex Campers like this one at the PX and wore them in the field), this popped up on Amazon and I purchased it. I have had it for a little over a month now and it has been a faithful companion during that time. I don't go out of my way to abuse my possessions, but this Timex hasn't been coddled, either. It's gone to work with me in an office setting, but it also does real yardwork with me, I have taken it hiking, I have submerged it in water, I workout with it on, and I have had no problems with it at all. It has gotten a little scuffed up and dirty, but it cleans up nicely, including the Velcro. It has gotten a few good bumps and it's just fine. The face isn't rounded and doesn't stick out above the surface of the watch, so it won't get scratched up so easily. When it does invariably get scratched though, it should be easy enough to polish out the blemishes. For what it's worth, if you are looking for a comfortable band, particularly if you have a larger wrist like I do (8"), the Velcro band is really nice. It fits perfectly every time, it isn't scratchy at all, it dries out quickly, it stays secure at all times, and it never feels sticky like the regular resin-type bands do. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but now I'm not sure if I would want to go back to another resin band. The watch has been fairly accurate. As soon as I received it from Amazon, I set it using www.time.gov. During the time that I have had it, it has lost only four seconds. That's not too bad at all. With a quartz movement, I didn't expect any less. It is easy to set both the time and date. The second hand is hackable, so synchronized time-setting is possible. The uncluttered dial is easy to read. The numbers are crisp. The hands are clear. The date window doesn't require a second look. One of the characteristics of this watch that will please some of the more exacting watch owners out there is the fact that the second hand movement lines up with the markers as the second hand moves around the dial. Some watches have analog movements where the second hand fails to properly land on the markers, but not this one! The watch isn't too large, so it slips nicely under one's sleeve, but yet it isn't so small that it looks like a kid's timepiece. Even as a bigger, taller guy with a larger wrist, the watch still looks appropriate on me. It is also very light and I forget that I'm wearing a watch. There really aren't too many things that I don't like about the watch. The lume on the hands isn't outstanding. It's fine, but what lume it has is not going to garner awards. The hour and minute hands have lume, but there is no lume on the dial or second hand. That said, it is important to remember that this is not a dive watch. The Indiglo works very nicely though. In absolute darkness, the Indiglo function works perfectly. Having to replace the watch battery someday will stink, but only because I worry about losing water resistance due to improper battery and O-ring installation. I like the watch enough that I will probably just pay to send it to Timex, have them replace the battery, give it a once over, and then ship it back to me. I would rather have the manufacturer do it right than have a jeweler screw it up. Yeah, I know, it's only a $30 watch, but it's a really well-designed $30 watch and I like it. It feels like somebody took time to engineer this watch right. It may sound kind of silly, but it's like somebody actually cared when this watch was being designed and built. It is a lot like driving past a simple, old building in town that has a special architectural character to it. It just looks and feels like it was thoughtfully designed to do something very specific. That's what this watch is like. That leads me to my last point. I may be wrong, but I don't think Timex makes this model anymore. Why not? They make a lot of other ones that are prettier, have GPS, can pay for groceries, or whatever, but they aren't going to last like this one. This is a tremendous watch and blows away all of the other Expedition models. Why is it that such a great watch like this gets discontinued? Is it because it is too old-fashioned? Is it boring? Nobody bought it? Well, if it pops up for sale on Amazon, and you're in the market for this simple, camper-style watch, you should plunk down your $30 or so and get it. Many times, the old-fashioned, "boring" ones make the best life partners.

Relógio muito divertido da parceria entre Timex e Peanuts.

Es un reloj hermoso para los amantes de Snoopy (Peanuts) y los Scouts. La correa se ve fuerte y de buen material, a pesar de ser textil. Se ajusta con velcro (tal vez en el futuro se vaya desgastando, pero ya se verá). La imagen de Snoopy, Woodstock y el tronco tienen un poco de textura. Quizá su mayor atractivo sea el Indiglo ya que muestra un cielo estrellado y una luna menguante, y ese también es un pequeño problema, ya que se ve muy bonito en la noche, pero cuesta trabajo ver las manecillas, sobretodo si están en la parte superior. Aún así es un reloj que vale mucho la pena adquirir. La caja del envío vino un poco maltratada, pero nada que afectara a la otra caja o al reloj.

カレンダー（日付表示）付きを探していて、これにしました。 バックライトも付いていて使いやすいです。 他の方も言っていましたがベルトを交換すると尚シンプルかつ軽量化が出来、個人的には他では出来ない隠れた名作だと思います。

Habe die Uhr heute von Amazon bekommen und muss sagen, ich bin (nach dem vorherigen Lesen aller 1 und 2-Sterne Bewertungen) wirklich erleichtert. POSITIV: - sehr schnelle Lieferung durch Amazon - bis vor wenigen Tagen kostete die Uhr hier noch um die 32 Euro, habe sie jetzt für weniger als 25 Euro bekommen - lt. Produktfoto und auch lt. der Artikelbeschreibung hier auf der Seite ist die Uhr bis 50 Meter (5 Bar) wasserdicht, bei mir steht aber bis 100 Meter (10 Bar) drauf, siehe eigenes Foto. :-) - Zeiger leuchten sehr kräftig und auch lange nach - zusätzlich INDIGLO-Beleuchtung auf Knopfdruck, wenn man will. Funktioniert perfekt - Uhr ist nicht so klein, wie befürchtet, sondern für mein Handgelenk gerade richtig (ebenfalls auf dem Foto zu erkennen) - sehr leicht und Band ist ordentlich verarbeitet, bei mir kratzt gar nichts an den Rändern NEUTRAL: - Ja, diese Uhr "lebt". :-) In ruhiger Umgebung und wenn ich sie wirklich in die Nähe meines Ohres halte, dann höre ich ein Ticken, was ich aber für normal halte und für mich auch irgendwie zu einer Uhr dazu gehört. Letztendlich sind an jeder Analog-Uhr nun mal Zeiger, die mechanisch bewegt werden müssen und das geht nicht (!) vollkommen geräuschlos ab, "schleichende Sekunde" (wie bei einigen Weckern), nun hin oder her. So laut, dass man aber etwa nicht schlafen könnte oder sie sogar im fahrenden Auto hören würde (wie in zwei Rezensionen beschrieben) ist sie nun aber definitiv nicht, also da muss man nun wirklich schon ganz außergewöhnlich empfindlich sein. NEGATIV: - Katastrophale Verpackung, wie ich es von Amazon nicht (!) gewohnt bin und auch noch nie erlebt habe! Ich hatte einen Kalender mitbestellt und man hat tatsächlich ein schmales Paket für einen flachen Kalender genommen und die Uhr einfach mit draufgesetzt, so dass das Paket dann mit einer großen "Beule" ankam. - In ziemlicher Sorge öffnete ich die Verpackung und der kleine Umkarton aus Pappe von Timex hatte auch wirklich sehr gelitten, der Pappdeckel viel gleich beim Anfassen ab. Die Uhr selber jedoch hat den Transport (und damit ihre erste - und irgendwie auch unverhoffte - Bewährungsprobe) trotzdem gut überstanden. Der Plastebügel (eigentlich nur zu Deko-Zwecken im Schaufenster gedacht) auf dem die Timex-Uhr befestigt war hat das Schlimmste verhindert. Bzw. er hat alles verhindert. Die Uhr ist völlig ok aber es war reines Glück. - Trotzdem lasse ich diesen Lapsus von Amazon nicht in die Bewertung der Uhr mit eingehen (die bekommt ihre 5 Sterne) aber ich wollte es wenigstens im Kommentar hier mal erwähnt haben. FAZIT: Die Uhr ist formschön, sie wirkt nicht billig, ist sehr leicht und zu einem wirklich günstigem Preis zu bekommen. - Und vielleicht bekommt man ja sogar noch eine, die bis 100 Meter wasserdicht ist. ;-)

Sam zegarek jest ładny, kiepski, sztywny pasek. Plastykowe szkiełko bardzo łatwo się rysuje. Ciekawe podświetlenie.
