Expedition Scout 36mm Watch

It seems like a good match for a woman who is active. I like the watch band. It is strong and will scrub up well when it gets dirty. A great outdoor watch.

Simplesmente impecável, comprem de alta qualidade original mesmo

The watch is louder than I expected. You can hear ticking sound when the room is quiet. I can’t sleep while it is in the room. But on the other hand I absolutely in love with it. The right size and great look. Good for the price. The strap quality is low Overall all give it 10 out of 10. One of the most enjoyable watches I’ve ever worn.

Very pleased with this purchase. This is a fantastic watch for the price. Smart, field-watch styling with its slightly vintage, military look. The red arrow second hand (on this black-faced version of this watch) is a nice design accent. If there's any lume on the hands, I can't see it. What the watch does have is Timex's Indiglo backlight which lights up the whole watch face with a push of the crown. I'd much rather have the indiglo because modern (non-radioactive) watch lume fades faster than the daylight and isn't much use in the middle of the night. The indiglo backlight is truly beautiful and makes the watch very readable in the dark. As others have noted, there's a tiny flat spot at the bottom of the dial. Doesn't detract from the look as far as I'm concerned. Some reviewers have complained about the loud ticking. Other don't seem to notice. Perhaps this is due to differences between individual watches, or perhaps between individual ears. I don't notice the ticking unless the watch is within a foot of my ear and only when there's no other background noise. This may also be a matter of age; anybody above the age of 50 grew up with wall clocks and bedside clockwork alarm clocks so will have little trouble tuning out any minor ticking noise even if their ears can hear it. The watch takes a CR2016 battery which is one of the larger batteries to fit in a watch, giving it a claimed 10-year battery life. This is an important point because it beats having to change out a battery every year or two. Fewer battery changes translates to less cost and less disturbance to the waterproof seal. Over a 10-20 year period, if you're paying at the store to get the battery swapped, a 10-year period is going to save more than the cost of this watch (or even a much more expensive one). If you're the sort of person who does their own battery swaps, the stainless steel back is of the pop off style, with a small tab to get a knife or case toll underneath to prey off the back. It's probably the pop-off back which limits the water resistance to 50m (fine for swimming but not scuba). The watch has a 3-position crown (technically 4 if you include the indiglo function). The middle position allows fast adjustment of date, ie no need to wind the watch through 24 hours to advance the date window. Handy for day after the last day of a 30-day month. The watch has 18mm lug size, so it's easy to find/install replacement straps. Field watches tend to be very versatile and can take on a whole different character depending on the type of strap. Typical of inexpensive watches, as the the second hand ticks it doesn't always align very well with the marks on the circumference of the dial. If this bugs you, you should be looking at the $200 watches. The 36mm case size suits me (and my wrist size) fine. If you've got big wrists or if you like the now-fading fashion for huge watches then you might want to go for the 40mm version that Timex sells. Despite some of the imperfections, this is a 5-star review because I don't expect a $30 watch to have the same standard of materials and manufacturing as a $200 watch. If you're looking for this style of watch, it's hard to go wrong with this one for the price. If you're not using a watch to display wealth and you don't want to worry about loss/theft, this watch looks great and does everything you'd want for the price.

青緑のバックライト(インディグロ)が美しい。 若い頃出たばかりのインディグロを購入した時の感動を思い出す。もう30年ぐらい前。 Gショックもバックライトをだしたころだった。 今回はどうしても電池式の時計が欲しくて購入。
