A host of great features plus classic dive styling makes the Men's Casual Diver Watch from Timex a must-have for adventures both above- and underwater. A unidirectional brass bezel surrounds a blue dial with chunky Arabic numerals, creating a classy but casual look. Indiglo backlight technology makes the watch easy to read in varying light conditions, and the rugged timepiece also has a quick-date feature that lets you set the date quickly and easily. A durable rubber strap fastens the watch snugly around your wrist. The watch is water resistant to 330 feet (100 M).

Product Description

Tougher than a bomb shelter and ready to dive like a submarine, the Timex Expedition Dive Style Watch goes to 100m deep and lights up for easy reading. A stainless steel case and chip-resistant glass face keep this timepiece armored and ready for action in the water or on dry land. Lock down the clasping rubber wristband, synchronize the time using the easy-to-read luminescent face, and head to the bottom for some mission un-possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timex Casual Diver watch, November 6, 2010

This review is from: Timex Men's T49776 Casual Diver Watch (Watch)

I decided to buy this watch despite a couple of mediocre reviews on it. The watch feels very sturdy and is easy to read, on the Timex website it says it has a screw down crown, but upon examining the crown (it floats) presumably to let the indiglo night light work. I tried screwing in the crown and it appears it is not a screw down crown. The watch only cost $40 but feels much more expensive than it is. I am giving it 4 stars because of the couple of negative reviews I read about it. I figure if the watch is a lemon I will not have lost much money at all. I'll keep this review updated the longer I have the watch, right now I'm just getting a feel for it and am still seeing how it performs.

One of the things anyone should be conerned about this watch is when it is submerged the indiglo nightlight can easily be set off by the movement of the wrist. Timex says that pushing any buttons underwater could sacrifice the watches water resistance. I think this is what happened to the person who said their Timex diver failed after 5 dives. For diving definitely get a watch with a screw down crown as it is extra insurance from water flooding your watch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Died after 5 Dives, August 10, 2010

Watch leaked after just 5 Dives. After the fifth dive I noticed condensation on the inside of watch face and the indiglo light stopped working. Watch is supposed to be water resistant to 100m. Didn't dive close to that depth. Returned it. Had a feeling it wasn't just a lemon and probably would happen again with and exchange. Going to shop for a more expensive dive watch which is what I should have done in the first place. Watch worked well at telling time, so if you don't plan to dive with it then it will probably be just fine.

This review is from: Timex Men's T49776 Casual Diver Watch (Watch)

Picked this up about 5 months ago, but since I had read some negative reviews I wanted to give it some time before chiming in with my two cents. I'm happy to say that the watch has performed flawlessly. I have made no effort to protect it and have used it in water while swimming, showering, playing with the kids at the water park, etc - all with no moisture problems. Has kept good time & served me well so far...
The watch looks great (mine has the orange face) and strikes a nice balance between sporty casual and classy. Wouldn't be my go-to watch when I'm wearing a suit, but it can pull off just about anything else. It's not over-the-top big like some hipster watches but it is beefy - I'd describe it as masculine. It has a rotating bezel for keeping track of elapsed time, has a date function, and features Timex's Indiglo backlight. Some have complained about the backlight getting turned on accidentally when the wearer's wrist is bent back, and that has happened to me once or twice, but it turns off the moment the wrist pressure is removed so I don't see the big deal. My favorite feature is the band: the little collar that secures the extra part of the band once it's latched has a small notch in it that fits over a small nub on the end of the band. It keeps the collar secure in one spot and the end of the band never comes loose. With most of my other watches I periodically have to push the band holder back into place throughout the day, but this one has a clever design that eliminates that issue.
Overall I'm very happy with this watch. Given the price I paid (about $28), I feel like I got my money's worth and then some: good looking, works well, good design = thumbs up!
