I've had this watch for almost 4 years. I wear it to work, work on my car with it, and wear it as a "beater" watch. It has scratches and a couple of small dings, but works perfectly. It's still on the same battery. The steel bracelet has become difficult to lock down, but still does. The luminous paint is not bright, but the Indiglo light is fabulous! Even though it's only water resistant to 50 meters, I've been swimming with it once. You should not swim with a watch that's less than 100 meters. When you move your arm under water fast, you're putting alot of water pressure on the watch. For $30-35, you will get your money's worth.

This watch is a steal for $30. Not only is it very reliable and very lightweight for a stainless steel watch, but at the same time you could say it resembles many watches costing hundreds of dollars more. Why waste your money on something that could cost north of $300 when you can spend $30 for a watch of similar quality.

I use this watch as my everyday watch. I am an aircraft mechanic and it can withstand the abuse my job entails, from chemicals to frequent bumping into things and tight situations. I've enjoyed this watch so much that this is the second one I've purchased and would recommend it to anyone who works hard.

Purchased as a gift and the recipient is thrilled with it. He is an "outdoor" guy, works construction, hunts extensively, hikes, geocaches, and made me happy I purchased it.

If you want a watch that looks good and works good...but you can't afford or simply choose not to spend big bucks for one...this is the perfect watch! It has a great look and it works great. It has a cool night light blue color as well. Highly recommend!!!

I am on my second Expedition watch and still love 'em. It keeps time to within 10-15 seconds per month. Ironically, it can run a little fast for a while, and then run a little slow for a while. Overall, I do not have to reset the time more than two or three times per year. I call that phenomenal accuracy. My only problem is that the case tends to get corroded after about two years of constant wearing, and then scratches the skin. So, I am now looking at the possibility of upgrading to an all stainless watch. But I sure do wish that Timex would make the whole case out of stainless steel. Then, I would keep on buying them; for myself and as gifts. It really is a great watch.
UPDATE; I solved the abrasion problem with an easy quick fix. I took some fine emory cloth (you could also use fine sandpaper) and buffed the scratchy areas, then "painted" on some of my wife's clear nail polish over the worn areas. No more scratched skin, and the nail polish doesn't show.

I had one of these for 6 years and recently it started to lose time. I replaced the battery (first time I've had to do this), but it still lost time. So I decided to get a replacement. I could have wasted several hours reviewing what's out there now, but I was relatively happy with this watch. It is a very good looking watch - IMHO. The watch face is very durable. I was worried about this originally, but I subjected my first watch to occasional harsh treatment and it was barely scratched. The only negatives I would say are: a) getting the links out to reduce the watch band is difficult, but not impossible; b) when I reach for something and bend my wrist the backlight comes on since my hand pushes on the button; c) you have to manually adjust the date for months that are less than 31 days (which is typical for analog watches); d)watchband collects dirt and sweat so sometimes your wrist gets black.

I looked for a watch for my husband for a while. I finally found this watch, which is super stylish as well as affordable.

He's now had it for about two years and it still works wonderfully. The thing can really take a lickin' and keep on tickin'... It's true!

We were camping recently and he used it as a flashlight because of the glow. The light didn't even eat up the battery like his old watch. This is a wonderful, strong, well-made and hot looking watch. You won't regret getting it.

I am not easy on anything I own. I usually purchase books used for this exact reason(why spend more if i'm going to kill it anyway). That being said, this has been on my wrist since, erm, well early 2000. So, well over eight years of daily (ab)use. Just a few months ago, I finally managed to scratch the crystal. And I am constantly walking into walls, come into a room *bam* right on the threshold. There is plenty of paint on the face which has to get fingernailed off every so ofter. And then there are the times I get the thing wet. 8 years of showers baths etc, 5 2 hour trips down the Little Miami River in a tube, countless hours of swimming(though that has backed off as of late ): and WAY too many hours in dish water; nary a DROP of moisture inside this thing. And that is even after taking the back off about 5 times to change the battery. I did have to get a new watchband once. But, to my memory Timex sent me a new one for seven bucks shipping.

The other day, my coworker was showing off her Molvado(sp?) watch, I laughed.

A great watch, this is my second one, the first one lasted me about 5 years, but went through more catastrophes than you can imagine.
