Timex Men’s Expedition Field Chrono Brown/Black 43mm Outdoor Watch, Leather Strap

After completing an on-line order with Walmart, took a chance and dialed in chronograph watches. Shortly the "Timex Men's Expedition Field Chronograph Watch appeared." The Expedition answered one particular pet peeve with most chronographs - the hands block the view of the smaller dials as the minute and hours hands make their rounds twice a day. The expedition has see through hands. The chronograph hand is delicate but has a red pointer as does the minute dial hand at the six-o-clock position. In addition there is the "indiglo" night light. The leather strap, a personal preference over metal, is comfortable out of the box - no break in required. The instruction sheet once flattened out is straight forward and quite well written and illustrated. Price is right also.

I had not worn a watch for years, I relied on my smartphone which is always in my back pocket. I convinced myself that there is no need to have a watch, it was redundant. Lately I have noticed my friends all sporting some pretty cool watches, so I thought it was time to get a watch for myself, but it had to be pretty great or it would end up in a drawer somewhere . I searched and found some beautiful watches, it came down to this Timex for about $59 or a Nautica N18522G NST for about $125 I really liked both watches but still being unsure if I would really wear the watch I decided the less expensive Timex was a better gamble. When the watch arrived I immediately tore open the box and put the watch on, it is impressive. The face is perfect, it's large without looking clownish, it looks manly and rugged, the band is strong. The finish of the watch is fantastic, every surface looks precise. The chronograph works fine the Indiglo is great and the hands glow in the dark brightly. I have not taken the watch off, everyone loves it and it looks like I spent a couple hundred bucks on the watch. I am already looking for another watch at these prices I can have an awesome watch for every day of the week.
