Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for active, outdoor lifestyles--as well as the rigors of harsh urban landscapes--the mid-sized Timex T47042 Expedition stainless steel watch adds a stylish yet rugged complement to your everyday wear. It features a large, round grayish silver stainless steel watch case with flattened, brushed bezel that frames a greenish dial background with Arabic numerals, large, luminous stick hands (with seconds hand), and a date display at 6 o'clock. With the Quick Date function, you can set the date on the watch without turning the crown for every 24-hour period. Just pull the stem halfway out, and turn until desired date is reached. It also offers an 8-year battery life, water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet), and a genuine leather strap in brown.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch, Great price!, March 8, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

I needed an inexpensive, water-resistant sport watch to wear on our boat, replacing a 20 year old Casio. The Timex Expedition is easy to read, good looking, and the face lights up when you press the stem, perfect for night use. The band has eight holes, enough to accomodate a very small wrist. Amazon's price was 25% less than I found in a nearby "walk-in" store. I couldn't be happier with the purchase!

This is a great watch for a woman! I can't see it fitting a man and the watch face is too small for a man. I ordered it for my sister who has a large wrist and it is perfect for her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handsome, Durable, Lightweight Watch: Great for the Price, February 15, 2009

This review is from: Timex Women's T47042 Expedition Brown Leather Strap Metal Field Watch (Watch)

Pros: Durable, lightweight, has simplicity and basic functions of a watch, great for daily wear, aesthetically pleasing and matches well with many casual outfits.

Con: the watch's straps are a bit difficult to put on and off when I am wearing it as a perfect fit, as opposed to when I wear it a bit loosely.

Originally, I was looking for a watch with a 24-hour clock, is simple, durable, and good for everyday wear. For $[...] + free shipping, this watch is exactly those things. I've owned this watch for a couple months now and have yet to be disappointed. To be honest, the only "big" problem I would have later on is getting a new strap for it, and I'll explain why at the end.

The picture of the watch on this page does not do The Expedition justice at all. After taking it out of the box, my immediate impression is this is one handsome watch. The picture on Amazon's site makes the metal casing of the watch look whitish, powdery. This is not so. It is a black metal, and in the light, it sometimes has a copper-brown hue when contrasted to the olive green background and dark brown straps. Also, the olive green background and the numerals look very flat and drab. This is also not the case. Some reviewers have complained that the date indicator is too small to read. I personally had no trouble reading the date in the usual well-lit atmosphere. However, if you push the crown to light up the watch, it will not light up the date window. The 24-hour digits are small, but not unreadable. But since I bought it to get used to using UTC time, it was better this way for me because I could test myself that way. The only function I found useless was the cardinal directions, but it doesn't get in the way. Also, the ticking sound of the second hand is pretty much inaudible, unlike some reviews I've read about other watches on Amazon. Overall, all the basic functions you could want in a watch are there and work very well.

Other notables about the Expedition. I have banged my wrist several times onto things and it has yet to scratch. It's also been exposed to weather as I walked in heavy rain and hail once. Granted I didn't flail my wrist in the air to test this out, but it did get wet and still works fine. Also, another reviewer said the holes go all the way up to the watch itself; I think this is so that you have the choice to wrap the watch around something else like a strap or pants belt loop. I also like that this watch is not bulky at all, making it light and fairly comfortable to wear. Especially in comparison to Coleman's women's watch which I got from a local Target:

[...]

They both have the 24 hour clock, lights up, water resistant, and although the Coleman is about $[...] cheaper, it is very bulky because the actual watch sits on top of the leather strap, which itself is also bulky. While the silver casing makes the Coleman look a bit "classier," the Expedition is more suitable for everyday wear for me. All of these things add to the functionality and practicality of the Expedition.

The only thing I will dock the watch is it's strap. It fits my wrist fine, but strapping it on and taking it off is a bit of a struggle as the metal pieces tends to stay in the hole. With all the tugging (when I wear it with a perfect fit), I can see that I'll be buying a new strap for this later down the line. But when I wear it a size looser, I don't have this problem.

Bottom line: at this price, and compared to other watches with similar functions, I am very happy with this purchase.
