Timex Men's Expedition Classic Digital Outdoor Performance Chrono Alarm Timer Watch #T48061

Product Description

Designed for active, outdoor lifestyles--as well as the rigors of harsh urban landscapes--the mid-sized timex T48061 Expedition digital watch adds a stylish yet rugged complement to your everyday wear. It features a round resin watch case in black with a metallic silver top ring and a black nylon Fast Wrap strap (with Velcro fastener). Timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split options, 99-lap counter, 24-hour countdown timer, and second time zone with date. It also offers three alarms with daily, weekday, and weekend options, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

The watch keeps losing minutes, and the light won't come on, anymore. Took it in for a new battery, and that didn't do anything for it. Too expensive, $28, for it to fall apart so quickly.

I got this watch for my middle school son. He likes all the features and the price was right..plus a good size for his arm

Overall I am satisfied with this watch. I bought it to replace a Timex Iron Man watch I have had for the last sixteen years. The watch is very readable even at steep angles. All of the controls are intuitive and conveniently placed. Buyers should know that the watch band may feel a bit tight on larger wrists, however. I am 6'7" and about 285. About the last inch of the band is a thick rubbery material and so cannot be adjusted down all the way to the end. I would recommend this to all but those with the largest wrists.

Customer Buzz
Great watch - keeps good time. Nice accessible buttons (especially the one on the front to turn on the Indiglo.

The alarms are loud enough for me (even to wake me up).

I have had this watch for 4+ years and it died today. It appears that water leaked into the housing and corroded the terminals that provide data to the LCD screen...thus making it so a 3 and a 9 look the same. However, I am confident that this was an old age problem and not a Timex problem. FYI the waterproof is only supposed to last a few years at most on all watches.

1) Durable- It endured a ton of scuffs and scratches on the plastic front and did not hinder the viewing of digits. While taking this watch apart to diagnose it, its guts are VERY solidly put together...even the battery took a few minutes to get out. The buttons never started "sticking" like most other (cheap) watches do after old age.
2) Sleek- Numbers are large and easy to read. No watch should be without a date and day-of-the week display and this one is no exception. The face is MEDIUM sized...great for people like me with smaller wrists (man) or people who don't want to create an eye-sore on their wrist. The face is covered with a silvery tan paint that eventually flaked off, but the plastic underneath it was also tan colored. That made it so it looked the same even after the paint came off. The buttons are wide and easy to push.
3)Great battery life- The quoted duration of the battery is only 3.2 years, according to Timex.com. I have not had to change the battery yet after 4+ years.
4)Band - The only partially bad thing I can say about it is that the band is Velcro. Velcro loses it's "grip" after being taken on-and-off 400 times. Thus you will have to replace the strap every year or so for about 5-10 dollars if you want that firm grip again. I still think the band is the best I ever used because it is easy on/off and doesn't snap like metal, tear like leather, or lose springs like those latchless metal ones. Completely worth the cost of replacement.

I am definitely planning on buying another one of this watch. Absolutely love it. The fact that it is only $28 and free shipping is even better.
