Product Description

Ready for your next adventure, the Timex Men's T49612 Expedition Shock Digital Compass Olive Resin Strap Watch features a bold, negative display. This watch is water resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet)and shock resistant to I.S.O. standards. The comfortable nylon strap and light-weight resin case are crafted for durability. A reliable buckle ensures your watch remains on your wrist securely while partaking in outdoor activities. Indiglo night-light is included for easy viewing in the dark.

Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.

The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.

During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.

The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.

One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.

Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the watch. They mention that it has great looks, is built well, and has outdoor styling.

Customers are mixed about the readability of the watch. Some mention that the face is easy to read, the dark screen is easy, and the negative display is easy.

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the watch. Some mention that it's super comfortable, ergonomic, and smooth wearing on the wrist. The band is rubber-ish and will gently squeeze your wrist but not enough to notice. It's very easy to wear, and the strap is very firm. However, some say that it is a little uncomfortable, rough on the writst at first, and bulkier than expected.

"...The band is very comfortable. I have very small wrists and I have one notch left on the band when it's on...." Read more

"...It is streamlined, comfortable, and much less invasive while doing athletic activities. (eg doesn't dig into your wrist when you bend them)" Read more

"...The Timex Expedition was everything I needed. It has a very nice rubberized texture and feels very solid...." Read more

66 customers mention11 positive55 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the buttons on the watch. They mention that the watch face seems small in relation to the watch size. Customers also say that the wrist band is too small for men with large wrists. They also mention that it's a big watch for people not accustomed to wearing big watches, and the screen is small for such a large watch.

"...The watch is a bit big, it is bigger than the average Casio G-Shock but fits well on wrists 6 inches and bigger...." Read more

"...The problem with it is that it really is just too large of a watch. I bought it because I am hard on my watches and eventually end up breaking them...." Read more

"...It is a pretty large watch so people with smaller wrists may find it uncomfortable. Personally, I find it to be very comfortable to wear all day...." Read more

"...The watch is large, but this is the size of my other watches I am used to wearing. My other watches I wear are Luminox and Seiko dive watches...." Read more

Can't beat it with the digital compass!  **UPDATE** Band broken after 24 months of light use.
3 Stars
Can't beat it with the digital compass! **UPDATE** Band broken after 24 months of light use.
Could be a 5 star if the band was more flexible. The functions all work well and are very easy to navigate. The compass is spot on and exactly what I was looking for. You never know when you'll need it while hiking and it's great to have a backup! The green color is flat and perfect for my taste, I lean toward a military style with my outdoor gear. I wouldn't say the face is large but it does sit a bit high off the wrist but nothing that causes me issues unless I have strap on my sleeve. It's already taken some blows on rocks and is holding up well. I don't use the hydration timer but it's a neat feature to keep in mind in case you need to time intervals for any reason, you can adjust the interval. For the money, I don't think you could beat it with the digital compass. The band feels tight on the sides of my wrist but sits off of my wrist where it clasps. I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.**UPDATE** 2 years after purchase wearing it about one week out of the month during that time and the wrist band has cracked. Watch is still great but the band doesn't appear to be replaceable so it's now a little paper weight.
