Product Description

Indiglo / Nite Mode / Quick Date / Easy Set Alarm / 4-Chrono Functions / Luminescent Hands / Water Resist 100m / Black/Black

THIS TIMEX CHRONOGRAPH WATCH IS (IN MY OPINION), ONE OF THE BEST FOR THE MONEY. I PURCHASED MY FIRST T42351 CHRONOGRAPH WATCH 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT EVER SINCE. I LIKED IT SO MUCH, THAT I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A SECOND "BACK-UP" WATCH FROM AMAZON AT A BARGAIN PRICE $12 LESS THAN WHAT I PAID FOR MY FIRST WATCH. JUST TAKE THAT FUNKY LEATHER WATCH BAND OFF AND TOSS IT; REPLACE WITH THE TIMEX FAST-WRAP, WATER-RESISTANT, 16-20MM BAND. GREAT WATCH/BAND COMBO. AGAIN, THIS IS A REALLY NICE CHRONOGRAPH WATCH, AT (IN MY OPINION) A GREAT PRICE. AMAZON DID ME GOOD W/THIS ONE.


I purchased the Timex #T45951 in January 2009 and highly recommend it to anyone. It's an exceptionly good buy and functins perfectly. It's very accurate; in fact, it is more accurate than a $350 Seiko chronograph I own. It's a good buy-go for it!


Dependability and style at a great price, a real value. This Timex Chrono Alarm has more features than I expected. It's packed with more features than watches I've paid much more for. I'm more satisfied with this watch than more expensive watches I own.

The dials make sense. You can actually read them. It has two alarms and I was surprised to find it has a great back light. It's possible to catch up the date or to re-adjust for daylight savings without losing your time settings.

The only minor issue is that I can't figure out what turns the beep off sometimes. (I probably need re-read the instructions.)

Overall I'm more than satisfied with this purchase. I'm a big Timex fan again.


I have just returned the second Timex Chrono Alarm Watch with an unreliable alarm after a few days/weeks of use. It just doesn't sound every now and then, probably every once in 10 to 20 times, failure rate increases over time. A shame since the watch is very nice and keeps the time very accurately. We have had 5 Timex watches in the family over the past ~6 years. Out of those 5, 3 had to be returned due to failures. The other two have run for ~4 and ~6 years with no problem now. While these two certainly provide a good value for the money, a success rate of 40% is not very convincing and the idea to outsource quality control to the customer might be fashionable but will hopefully not turn out a successful business strategy after all.


Nice watch, good weight, but I was unable to see the date clearly in standard room lighting... a necessity for me. That might not be an issue for others, so for them, check it out: great price, decent functional "work watch."


I bought this watch because of the way it looks. I was going to buy the Timex Expedition T47902, another Expedition, about the same price, most notably the alarm is set by the face dial. That watch would have been cool, but in a world of a billion watch styles, appearance is everything. I like digitals, but they just come off Geeky with any kind of clothing, IMO.

1. The watch isn't white as shown in the picture. The face is ivory colored, and the hands are luminescent. No, they don't glow as well as the old radium watches, but you won't give you cancer either. IMO, gives the watch more character, and the dial is more legible than I expected.

2. The watch is thicker than I expected, mainly when you view it on end with one of the straps facing you. Less of a problem than I thought at first. It doesn't look thick from the crown side, and wearing the watch, no one, including you, views it from the side, maybe an ant crawling on your wrist band. Smash him before he bites you. I like the way it looks on my wrist.

3. The battery lasts 4 years. Wow. If I get two, from playing with the Indiglo button too much, I'll be happy.

4. For $5, paid to Timex, you can extend the warranty by 4 years, making it a 5 year warranty. Hmmm...if the watch won't tick, glow, alarm, chronograph, etc. they will fix or replace, as long as the face isn't broken. If you hit the face just right, you could break it, but it's odds for survival are better than yours, you name the activity.

5. The watch is water resistant to 100M, not 165ft, Timex website.

6. The instructions, and box the watch comes in are rather Spartan, almost funny, you really don't need either much. You don't have worry about paying for a fancy box. The instructions is a rolled up piece of tissue paper, used for half the watches they make, and in 3 different languages. On one piece of tissue paper? Yeah, the writing is small. It's sort of a test. It does tell you how to initialize the chronometer, and it does tell you not to push the buttons under water. It tells you nothing about how a chronometer works, so if you don't already know, their instructions are cryptic. The Timex website is not much better. They are saving on words there too.

7. I found out through Google that the chronometer on this watch actually works, and the dial at the 2 o'clock position actually does function. It's a stopwatch. How about that? The dial at the 6 o'clock position functions as the second hand, like what you are used to on a regular watch with a second hand. The large second hand sweep is fixed at 12 o'clock, until you press the upper button on the right. When pushed, the large sweep measures the seconds, the dial at the 10 o'clock position measure minutes elapsed up to 30 minutes, and the dial at the 2 o'clock position remains fixed. When the button is pushed again, like a stopwatch, second and minute sweeps stop to show elapsed time, and a that point the 2 o'clock dial shifts to tell you how many tenths of a second, to add to the elapsed minutes and seconds. The button at the lower left resets the chronometer.

8. The instructions said something about the lower left button also working with split timing, but I couldn't understand how it worked. As you can tell, all this is new to me, so If someone else can help, that would be nice.

9. The alarm operates from the lower right crown/button. It works well, but probably not as convenient as a dial operated alarm, like the T47902. I don't know for sure. I didn't buy that watch. There are some tradeoffs here. Cool looking water resistant chronometer vs. nifty dial alarm. What can I say? The need to be macho to the max overtook me. Hooah.

The watch is fun, not a big investment, looks cool, and I'll never have to worry about taking it off for fear of an activity breaking the watch. Damn the torpedoes. I say buy the watch if you like the way it looks.



No doubt this is one beautiful looking watch but it has one major design flaw as far as I'm concerned - the glass face sits slightly above the bezel. Not very well protected for an "Expedition Premium" watch. Had the face been recessed a bit my review would of been up to 3 stars. But unfortunately Timex lost 2 stars with me because the Indiglo was defective (didn't cover the entire face) so I was forced to return.


For the money this watch is an incredible value. The IP black finish over stainless steel looks great and the overall presentation of the watch looks very high quality. The watch has good weight on the wrist and is easy to read. In addition to the electroluminesent Indiglo dial the watch also has luminous hands and hour markers that glow quite bright for the entire night after exposure to light so the watch is easy to read in the dark even without turning on the Indiglo dial. The chrono features work well. The only negative is the alarm which can barely be heard (at least by me). Otherwise, I highly recommend this watch.


What was received pretty fast but looking at the watch online as opposed to out of the box is very small like a females watch. was expecting it to be a bit more chunky (i.e - 42mm or more ) and the band although good material is slim. Not a good buy if you like big chronos.


Got this watch 5 weeks ago and I love it. Looks awesome and the alarm functions (12 hour/<1 hour) work great. Don't panic like other reviewers if the chronograph hands are not aligned when you get the watch or if they go out of alignment. Just read the manual and its very easy to re-align them.
