TimexMen's TW4B08100 Expedition Acadia Black Leather/Nylon Strap Watch

As usual...Timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I have had this watch ever since my expensive watch final gave up the ghost. It's been 4 years so far.changed battery once so far. Gone diving with it , no leaks.

I've bought three Timex Expeditions, two for myself and one as a gift. Each was a different model but from the same collection. These are all good-looking, practical watches. The faces are easy to read, and I like to read real numbers rather than Roman numerals. Moreover, the wrist bands are high quality, not cheaply made. If you take the watch and place it close to your ear, you will hear a sound that says -- Here is a well-made marvel of engineering. Finally, these watches take nickel-sized CR2016 batteries, so you are likely to get at least a couple of years of service before having to switch it out. In my opinion, the Timex Expedition delivers solid value for your hard-earned money.

I bought this watch to temporarily replace a Swiss Army watch my wife got me and I've had for almost 30 years. It just has oodles of sentimental value and it's been a great watch. But it wasn't keeping good time anymore. Cleaning it was going to be expensive. Buying a new one, slightly less so. But I needed a watch, and while I dithered over what to do, Amazon sent me one of their prompts that asked me that based on my search history if I might me interested in this Timex version of my watch.Amazon does creep me out sometimes, but this was right on point. I liked the recommendation - especially at this price! The easy to read face and fonts were almost identical to my Swiss Army watch, so I got it. My only complaint is the band is a bit too long and stiff. My only other complaint . . . and this is no one's fault . . . ever since the Timex arrived, my old Swiss Army watch has been keeping perfect time.Arrrgghhh!

This watch is exactly what it is described as. Nothing fancy, but a good watch.Likes -Lightweight and low profile.Keeps good time.The contrast of white hands/numbers on the black face make it really easy to read in almost any light plus it has Indiglo.Dislikes -My only dislike is it's lack of durability. Because the crystal is plastic instead glass, it scratches easily. I've had this watch for about a month and it's already gotten several scratches. Would I buy it again? NO.

Just what we wanted, nothing fancy, looks nice on.

The black Timex wrist band fit me correctly. I like Timex. It's not a $2,000 Timex but they are dependable.

I've ordered this watch twice and have now pretty much given up on Timex.I've tried two orders of this watch. I just wanted a traditional-looking analog watch that would be able to tell me the time on the few occasions that it's in the dark.First watch - INDIGLO didn't work at all. Just a tiny light under the 6. Low battery? Not what I expect from a brand new watch. Returned.Second watch - INDIGLO worked maybe three times in six weeks - just long enough for the return window to have passed - then the same deal; tiny light under the 6. Another low battery out of the gate?Once is unfortunate; twice looks like carelessness (IYKYK).Oh, and there's no ambient illumination sans-button-press on this model. Another lost opportunity / broken "feature".Returned the first one easy enough. Returned the second one after "speaking" with an Amazon rep. Still, got charged for returning a "damaged" item. That sucks.I award this model, and therefore this brand as I'm done taking chances on them, zero points.TIMEX doesn't seem to be the company it used to be. I knew and relied upon this brand for many years. Maybe tariffs and some beef tallow will improve things...

Love this watch but the button spring is either too weak or the button plunger bends/sticks, causing the indiglo light to stay on after bending your wrist enough to depress it and it remains depressed. It’s too dim to notice during the daytime or with lights on inside. Swapped the battery and have made it a habit to periodically pull the button out a bit with my fingernail to keep this from happening. The indiglo actually stopped working on the first watch, with only a very small (1mm diameter) dim light near the bottom of the watch face when depressing the button, even with a new battery, but the watch still functions otherwise.They’re cheap enough and I like the watch style, simplicity, and price enough to have bought another since this purchase in 2019, but the new one suffers from the same issue and needed a premature battery replacement also. The date feature has also recently stopped working and won’t change.Maybe I’m too hard on them, wearing while doing mechanic work and yard work, etc. and sometimes hitting/catching it on hard parts and objects; also frequently bending my wrist enough to hit the button. I would think a field watch would be made to handle all of that, but I digress…Maybe a stiffer spring or tougher plunger/shaft would remedy this. Hope Timex sees this, but maybe it’s not cost effective enough to address this issue. Just something to keep in mind! Haven’t found another field watch I like to try out instead and still wear the newer one daily! New one still keeps time and indiglo still works, just not the date.
