This model of Timex watch is excellent. It looks good, works efficiently, bright indiglo light. Basically, it is an excellent choice if you need to know time, would look good on your arm and invest around $30-40.

This is my second one of these in 4 years. I teach ceramics and never take the watch off. Gets pretty crusty looking, but still keep working. Only drawback-the original didn't hold up well to the attentions of a 10 month old border collie. Great Amazon price and speedy delivery

I like this watch very much with two exceptions: the holes in the band are a little small and tend to pull strings through from the strap. Also when I bend my wrist back, it is enough to turn the light on (wasting battery life.) Overall this is a fine product.

I collect watches, primarily analog types, and prefer the classic and military styles. The current trend toward mounting a clock on your arm and calling it a watch seems silly to me and I don't think the fad will last. After all, a fad last a season, a classic last forever!

Even though I have a lot of watches I don't wear most of them. When I needed an everyday work watch I went looking to an old standby, Timex. I found this particular model (T40091) appealing because it mixes a simple classic style with some modern conveniences such as a very reliable quartz movement and the ingeneous indiglo light feature. The watch is the perfect size for a full grown man and is made of brushed stainless steel, like a serious watch should be. Upon very close inspection I could find no flaws in the case, the machining was simply perfect.

The glass fit perfectly and is flush with the bezel. I wish it had been slightly recessed but its okay. I like how they put a slight raise in the case around the crown to act as a protective guard. The face of the watch is very simple and easy to read. I even like the slightly odd face color. It's somewhere between a dark olive drab and gray and in certain light it can appear black. It gives the watch an older look, as if its been around for twenty or thirty years. The hands are pretty standard and the luminous hands work but just barely. In a watch of this price range its fine and besides you have the indiglo feature so its really not needed. About the only thing I wish this watch had is a cyclops over the date. My eyes aren't what the used to be and seeing that little date is getting harder every year. This watch also has the hack feature so setting the time accurately is easy. I have a habit of checking it almost daily (a little OCD).

Things I wish Timex would change...add the cyclops over the date, remove the extra face writing to make it even simpler, make the secondary numerals just a tad larger, change the band.

The band is not bad but seems to come a little small. I have medium sized wrists for a man and it fits me on the second to last hole. I seems like they should have made it about a 1/2" longer. I plan to replace the stock band with a NATO band so this isn't a big deal.

Overall, I think you can't go wrong with a Timex

The only problem I had with this watch is the strap. I quickly replaced it for a detachable strap (J. Crew to be specific, from the Timex Military Watch Strap collection) and now I can't live without this watch. Comfort increased 100 fold. Also, I agree with the earlier review that stated this watch is loud. It WAS loud until I replaced the strap. I think when the casing is resting directly on your arm it amplifies the "ticking" sound. Now that I have replaced the strap, I don't have this problem anymore.

As far as the functionality and cosmetics of this watch, I have no complaints. In the two weeks I have been using it, it has fallen behind the Official U.S. Time (website) by only 1 second.

In short, it keeps amazing time and once you replace the strap, it's a 5-star watch.

It's a good looking watch, the Indiglo illumination works well, and it's accurate. The band is terrible; too heavy & thick and started to fray after a couple months of use making it even more difficult to get on and off. Also, this watch has a loud tick, once a second. I literally can hear the thing when my watch hand is resting on the steering wheel of my car while driving down the highway. Call me high strung, but I don't wear it any more because of this.

I received this watch Timex (Men's T40091 Classic Analog Metal Field Expedition Watch)in a timely manner. This watch can be used as an everyday watch in my line of work. It arrived as advertised and I have worn it confidently to functions ranging from book events to events on international affairs. These are the reasons why I continue to use Amazon for many of my needs and desires. I will look forward to Timex for future purchases. Good job on all counts and to all parties. Thank you. A satisfed customer.

The watch is just like the picture. The band is also water resistant. Such a great watch. Very happy with this purchase. Received item in 2 days with Super Saver Shipping!!

Nice looking, simple analog watch with date and Indiglo. Nothing fancy but I like how it looks and it's comfortable to wear and easy to read. One nice feature is the recessed knob so it doesn't get caught on things.
