Great Watch/But had to return, April 28, 2011
This is an excellent watch. Looks good/comfortable and well designed. I wear glasses and need an analog type watch especially at night. One that I can see without the glasses. The INDIGLO feature of this watch is excellent for night viewing as long as you have good closeup vision or are wearing your glasses. Without either the contrast between the hands and the back-light is not enough to see the time. I know its a personal problem but a lot of people wear glasses and need to see their watch at nite w/o them. That's the ONLY reason for return. I'm stuck with the more expensive LUMINOX type watches......

Affordable, comfortable, sturdy, slow and corners cut, November 25, 2011
This review is from: Timex Men's Expedition Rugged Core Analog Watch (Misc.)
What I like about this watch is that it is affordable, comfortable and sturdy.
What I think could be improved is that the second hand clearly lost time upon depressing the Indiglo light switch in addition to losing a couple of seconds per day. I have tried swapping out the CR2016 battery, easily done with an eyeglass screwdriver and some petroleum jelly to reseat the seal. However, I believe there is a design issue if the watch continues to lose time.
This watch is optimized for being affordable. It shows in the non-rotating bezel which is a cosmetic non-functional dispaly. It shows in the accuracy of the watch not keeping up with time. It shows in the circuit malfunction of the second hand stopping when the Indiglo light switch was depressed. If you don't mind recalibrating it with a more accurate watch, it should be a fine comfortable addition to any collection.

Bezel doesn't move, March 11, 2011
This is a very handsome timepiece, nice design, seems to be sturdy. Only dissapointment is that the bezel doesn't move. If the bezel was able to move to track elapsed time, this watch would have been perfect.
