Product Description

From the mountains to the sea, this timex has no boundaries. Worn by extreme adventurists such as Conrad Anker, the timex men's Expedition watch belongs to the great outdoors. The case is resin, and the digital gray dial face is prominently embellished with easy-to-read digital numerals. The bezel is adorned with directional coordinates to accompany the compass feature. The watch comes equipped with a reliable buckle clasp and an accompanying black rubber wristband. For extra time-telling convenience, the watch has a timer, and a time-zone tracker that recognizes up to three separate time zones. Additional components include the Indiglo night light. Powered by digital-quartz movement, this classy timepiece is a must-have for all fashion-savvy wilderness enthusiasts. This watch, which is also water resistant up to 330 feet, is backed by a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Customer Buzz
This is not an expensive looking dress watch but a really good looking everyday watch. It`s preformance is simple and will not dissapoint you, it`s as advertised.

Customer Buzz
Great watch. Compass needs to be calibrated but actually works pretty well - I've actually been using it regularly (I had my doubts and was worried it might be another gadget that never sees any real world use).

Customer Buzz
First off I think the watch is probably worth the money. The features (with one exception) are great and the battery life is good. However, I did have issues with it.

I have had two of these watches. The first one got water in it, and fogged up. It was only a month old at the time. I had not changed the battery or opened it up and I was swimming in a stream when it happened. I definitely was not more than 5 feet under water.

I got the second watch as a replacement for the first. I used it extensively for 3-4 years. Trained for a marathon with it and timed a ton of splits, which is partially to blame for the split button wearing out (I had to press it super hard towards the end). Then after its last battery change the thing got water logged. I took it apart, let it dry, but the display never fully returned.

Now for the one bad feature. This watch has no split recall. It gives you a total and the lap number. You can't go back and see what you ran. That sort of stinks. But overall its not a bad watch. I loved the compass feature it fit well and it looked good. But for the $50 I paid for the thing I really can't complain to much. Its pretty good.

Customer Buzz
This watch as a Christmas gift for our 15 year old Grandson, since he didn't have a lot of wishes on
his list this year I wanted to get him a special watch. I went to three different sites before I was able
to purchase this watch and I was so happy to get it. After he opened it at our family Christmas party
he had it on his wrist and working in 15 minutes. He came up to me afterward and was showing me
all the features. This is a young man that loves to hunt, ride ATV's, go carts and just plain stay busy and
be outside so I wanted something durable and dependable. His Grandpa after looking at it when he was
showing me the features told me later he would like a watch like that!!

Customer Buzz
Searched around a lot before settling on this watch. Criteria included: ruggedness, set-and-forget functionality, everyday usage, performance for the price, aesthetics.

I was looking for a watch with alarm(s) and multiple time zones that could withstand a beating. Turns out this one satisfied those requirements and then some. Quite satisfied so far.

Timex Men's Expedition Adventure Tech Digital Compass Watch #T42761

Customer Buzz
I have owned several Timex watches over the years with the last 2 being Expeditions. When I began researching for another watch with a compass I wanted one with an actually working compass & not just a digital one that you had to press a button everytime you wanted a reading. I checked on several different makes & they ranged in price from $99 to over $250. I found this Timex with a floating digital compass and for only $45. It also has the rotating bezel, another feature I wanted. Having owned Timex watches before with the only problems I ever had was the watchbands wearing out & the battery finally running down, I new it would be a great product. You can't beat a Timex for quality and affordability. This is my first purchase on Amazon and I was very pleased with how it went.

Customer Buzz
it has many useful functions especially the compass. I need it to take part in company's cup challenge. But the I thinkd the leather wrist belt is not suitable for a ourdoor watch.

Customer Buzz
The best compass watch I've seen or used. It keeps excellent time and is very easy to read and use. I also like the coloring. The watch band, however, lasted about two weeks of continuous use. I ordered a "rubber" replacement and it was better than the original. Stylish and durable. If you think you need a compass on a regular basis I would strongly recommend this model.

Customer Buzz
I bought this watch mostly because of its many excellent non-compass features, but since I spend a lot of time participating in outdoor activities, I knew the compass would come in handy too. (And it has on several occasions).

Here are all of its modes:
* Watch
* Compass (includes declination adjustment setting)
* Chronograph with lap support
* Timer (with option to auto-repeat)
* Hydration alarm (goes off at repeatedly at the interval you specify to remind you to drink water while exercising or whatnot)
* Occasion alarm (reminds you of one-time and reoccurring dates and what's special about it. It's pre-configured with things like birthdays, bills, events, and many other things like that)
* Not just one or 2, but 3 separate regular alarms. This was a big deal for me, and I use all 3 regularly.
* Support for 3 time zones.

I find the button layout to be very straightforward, easy to remember, and consistent. I can't think of any features they could add to make this a better watch. It also feels comfortable, well-made, and sturdy, and the bezel does an excellent job of protecting the lens from scratches.

However I do have a couple minor complaints:

* The bezel rotates, and I'm not sure how that could be useful. This only bothers me because now and then I bump the watch into something and find the bezel to be rotated. For whatever reason, I like the N to always be right at the top so I find myself straightening it every couple days.

* As far as I know, you can't replace the band with a different style because of the bubble level at the top. From reading other users' reviews it looks like you can get inexpensive replacements from Timex.

Like I said, they're pretty minor complaints. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this watch and I would say it's well worth the money, even though I paid significantly more than Amazon is charging for it. This watch is easily the most useful watch I've ever had, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Customer Buzz
I've owned and used this watch daily for about 10 months. Except for the band I am quite pleased with the watch. I wanted both three time zones, at least one alarm and a compass. I travel to Asia at least annually and am 1. directionally challenged (have been lost in some really interesting places) 2. needed a reliable alarm to wake up and catch early flights (I useually set two) and 3. though I wanted three time zones I've found in practice that I do fine with two. One I leave on EST and the other I set once on the plane for the new distention. I found this watch to do all it says it does and does it well. The buttons are somewhat intuitive and I've learned to do all the basics quickly.

As has been reported in other reviews the band that comes with it is both of poor quality and I thought it looks cheap as well. My band came apart after 5-6 months. Fortunately Timex, at the numbers given in another review here, sent me a nice plastic band for $8 bucks or so and I think it will function fine.

Customer Buzz
Look at the specs for this watch closely: it is 17 mm thick. That's 0.67 inches thick - or more than half an inch. I cannot button the sleeve of a dress shirt over this watch -- and it's a tight fit with my flannel shirt. It is thicker on the top side, with the bezel signicantly higher on the top than the bottom, as well as wider, as you can see from the picture. This protects the crystal from scratches and bumps on the side most at risk.

I have a fairly small wrist, so the watch looks a bit large on me. The band is integral with the case, and the curvature is broader than my wrist, so it does not grip tightly on the sides of my wrist, yet the watch sits securely, without shifting, even when the strap is not tight - so this is good, and comfortable.

Some of the thickness is due to the battery. It takes a CR2032 lithium, a very common size, and the back is secured by small Philips head screws, so I guess you could change it yourself. I hope the large lithium battery will have a long life.

The functions are fairly easy to use, though you will need to read the booklet. There is no exposed sensor, unlike other barometer watches I have owned. I don't know how it measures changes in pressure, whether from the crystal or case or what. It does seem to work pretty well, and responds quickly when going up or down an elevator. It has a graph of barometric pressure (though no explanation of the units used in the graph) and when it indicated it would rain recently, it did the next day.

It also measures temperature, and you can display the temp, pressure or date below the time. There are graphs for barometric pressure and altitude. I wish there were also a graph for temperature over 24 or 36 hours. That can be real handy, such as when checking how cold it got over night while camping. But you would have to take the watch off to get an accurate reading.

The altitude reading on barometers usually wanders off accuracy as barometric pressure changes, so you can calibrate it for the known altitude. At least that's what happened on my older barometer watches. But on this Timex the altitude reading has remained relatively steady during an extreme shift in barometric pressure. So apparently it has an algorithm to compensate for slow pressure changes. The altitude does shift sometimes with the weather. It does not provide depth readings for scuba diving, as far as I can tell - but I have not tried it. As to time, it runs a little fast, like most watches, about a half-second a day.

I am not generally a fan of big watches, but this watch is comfortable, easy to read, day and night, provides many functions, and appears to be sturdier than most watches. Plus the price is great - a fraction of a Suuntu (it only says "Timex" in very small letters, so some people might think it is a Suunto).

I would like to wear it daily, but I simply cannot button most of my shirt cuffs over it. I will use it for hiking, camping, etc. As it is, I use the barometer, but it sits on my desk.

If it were a thinner and a tad narrower I would give it five stars. For an outdoors watch, Timex got it about right. The watch is attractive in its simplicity of design. This is a fun watch to wear that you don't have to pamper or worry about.




Customer Buzz
I liked most everything about this watch. But it was too big for my wrist. I have skinny wrists and it was possible to wear. But it looks too big. I returned it.


Customer Buzz
excellent product, it is for a Friend of mine who is going to climb the Acongagua mountain in february and he loved the watch.

Customer Buzz
Great watch. Barometer seems accurate. Temperature is not as accurate. Large face make it easy to see.

Customer Buzz
This is not as stylish as some of the new adventure watches but it is also less than half the price. It's big seemingly not as clunky as some of the G-shocks. I've worn it swimming for six months with no problems. The face is also big and clear enough to see without your glasses...important feature for glass wearing geezers like myself who also swim.

Customer Buzz
This is a very nice watch for the avid climber. The altimeter is accurate and also shows a graph of your accent and decent. Besides the watch being a little big due to the altimeter this is a great watch.

Customer Buzz
I bought this watch because I needed a new one and because I was curious about how pressure varies during airplane flights. So far I like all the features of this watch. It tells time quite accurately, is very easy to read in various conditions, and many of its features are intuitive. So far it also seems to be fairly rugged, which was a concern, though for under $100, I am not too concerned, as long as it lasts a few years.

Note that if you are serious about using the altimeter, you must know an accurate starting altitude (to with 10 feet) or the barometric pressue when you start your hike. Otherwise, the watch has no chance of giving accurate altitude readings. In climates that have very frequent pressure changes, you'll need a topographical map or wireless access to the Internet to recalibrate during your hike.

Customer Buzz
This is a great watch for those of us who are using reading glasses. For the first time since turning 45, I can see what the time is in the dark without my reading glasses on. The thermometer function is great and the altitude function seems accurate. The wrist band is very robust looking and comfortable.

No question, I would buy this watch again.

Customer Buzz
I find that many watches that have a lot of features are hard to navigate all the combinations of bbuttons. This one is very intuitive. When you have to hold a button for a while to set it, a screen pops up to tell you that. Really exemplary design.

Also the only one I found with 5 daily alarms. Perfect to remind diabetics when to shoot up. I love it.

Customer Buzz
Large digital display, easy to set, altimeter needs calibration often (sometimes reads sea level as 200' -- for real accurate altimeter you'll pay a lot more), barometer works quite well, dual time (T1 & T2) is real nice touch. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.
