Review: Timex - *** Update 5/2/13*** It is a pleasure to report that it has been almost 4.5 years and this product is still working flawlessly. I used it on a 5.5 mile run and it is as good as the day I got it. See comments to this review -- others have made good tips that I agree with. The bottom line -- if you are still using it after this amount of time, you are either ready for an upgrade or at least won't mind having to buy another unit! Original Review: I'd hoped that getting this new running gadget would encourage me to exercise more often. So far so good. I asked for this for Christmas and, well, it has accomplished it's primary function for me... I've been running almost every day since I got it. I was turned off by the gigantic size of some HRMs, and did not need something to keep track of splits as I run on my treadmill at home and the gym. As a heart rate monitor, the functionality is pleasantly simple. It tracks your heart rate for the whole workout. You hit the big button to start, and it goes to work tracking the length of time, the average heartbeat, and the peak. While you are running, it displays your current heartbeat. That's it -- but sometimes it's better to keep it simple. I should point out that, as a watch, the watch piece tells the time and date only. If you want/need splits and a stopwatch, you should look elsewhere. Here's some other thoughts: I was worried that the strap would break but realized after a couple workouts that I was probably wearing it a little too tight. Since adjusting, it is much more comfortable, has not fallen off, and, as a guy, you *almost* forget that you have it on. My wife cracked up when I took my shirt off after a recent workout. She said that, from the back, it looked like I was wearing a bra (or Manzierre, or Bro, if you prefer). I had no original intention of wearing it while NOT working out, but I've found it addictive, and have enjoyed observing how drinking a cup of coffee while sitting at my desk does raise my heart rate about 10-15 beats per minute on average. Also, as I've started to get in a little better shape over the last 3 weeks, I see that I have to run either farther or faster to get my heart rate up to certain thresholds. And, now my heart rate does not go up as high from merely climing the stairs at home. I believe that these insights, among others, are very encouraging for someone who is just getting back in shape. The encouragement aspect combined with the simplicity makes this a great starter heart rate monitor for anyone considering.
Review: Exceeds expectations - I have 2 other perfectly good watches 1 a 15 year old Fossil analog Chrono and 1 5 year old Seiko analog Chrono (both weigh a ton) but wanted to go digital for an everyday knock around watch. I looked around and decided to give this Timex Expedition a try and I'm glad I did. Most important thing the price was right, I liked the look and size it's so lightweight forget it's there. The Blackout display does take some getting used to but so does a new pair of glasses, the Indiglo works perfect night or day. All in all this seems a good watch but only Time will tell I've only had it a few days so far.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What type of battery?**
A: Hi, thank you for your question. The battery code of this watch is CR2025. Timex strongly recommends that a retailer or jeweler replace the battery.

**Q: How many alarms does this watch have.**
A: 3 alarms (each can be set for weekdays, daily or weekends), one timer (can be toggled to stop at end or automatically resetting for set amount of time) and a stopwatch which can manually count 'laps' or count up to when all of the digits fill up, I'm not exactly sure what the stopwatch is capable of counting up to.
But this watch has quite a few handy functions.

**Q: The picture shows the dial with with a light gray background, and some reviews state the dial is dark.  Which is correct?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The dial has a gray background but in some angle it may look darker.

**Q: Does the stopwatch screen also show the current time?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. No. It would not show the time. You would only see the stopwatch screen. For further assistance or questions, please let me know or call our customer service center at 800-448-4639.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for the the price.
*by Z***E on September 11, 2023*

The fit, function, and finish is absolutely great for this watch. My only complaint is the watch face/lens scratches verify easily. Being the watch model name is “Expedition” and SHOCK is even written on the face I would have liked the face to be more scratch resistant. Otherwise it’s an outstanding watch and I would gladly buy again!
