Timex Men's T49612 Expedition Trail Series Black and Green Watch

I was looking for an inexpensive EDC watch that I would not have to worry about if it gets hit, wet or dragged through mud. I really like negative display watches so this one works great for me. A lot of people complained that the display is hard to see but I like it that way. The Indiglo does a good job to see the time in complete darkness and it is subtle enough to not dazzle you.The watch is a bit big, it is bigger than the average Casio G-Shock but fits well on wrists 6 inches and bigger. The compass is accurate once you calibrate it right. It is recommended to calibrate it in the area or for the area you want to use it. If you calibrate it near your pc or electrical power cables where there will be electromagnetic interference then this would obviously affect the accuracy. The compass has the feature to input the declination for the area you are in so that you can use easily with a map to navigate.All in all at the price, this is a really great watch for everyday use. you can wear it and forget it. Much more functional for me than the expensive $200+ ABC watches as I don't need the additional features, so no sense in paying for what I don't needUpdate: February 23rd 2015.I have been using this watch for a couple of weeks now and it works well as an EDC watch for me. It does run a little slow, I have see a drift of about 3 seconds in about 2 weeks. this is not a big deal for me as I can sync it manually to a GPS clock whenever the drift gets to about 5 seconds.

This is the best watch i've ever owned. I bought it here from amazon in March of 2015. I wore it 24x7 until now (Oct 2017) the band is finally breaking down. I have bought a $300 watch before, and although that watch a few more features, this one was just as good. The little band that holds the extra strap down is hands down the best ever made. It has a notch to "catch" the strap, so it stays in place... always!! I love wearing a digital watch that always displays the date and time on the face without pressing any buttons. I also love the timer, stopwatch, and compass modes, although I very rarely use them. The green glowing light up is perfect. And the price is amazing. I'm tough on my watches and this one has held up beautifully. I wear it when I'm working, sleeping, showering, you name it. I've exposed it to all kinds of chemicals, like paint thinners, bug spray's, etc and nothing has bothered it. I've been scuba diving with it, and no problems. And I love the green color. I think because of the green color, its a little more acceptable to wear a digital watch in the corporate world. If you are looking for a great value digital watch with outdoor styling, you cannot go wrong with this one.

Build Quality: The upper right button feels like it will get stuck at some point. The other buttons all work perfectly considering they're made out of a rubbery plastic. They feel like they might get stuck, but they don't. The upper right button is a little harder to push which leads me to believe in maybe a year from now it may get stuck. I've accidentally hit it against some things, and the rubbery plastic material it's made out of allows it to be perfectly fine. You would have to try really hard in order to see any damage or actually damage the watch. It's a really good material in that it seems really durable against wear, weather, and life. The only downside is that when it's hot out, this material is not breathable so the skin underneath the watch may start to feel the lack of air if you're outside in the heat for a while wearing the watch. Some people have talked about not being able to see the numbers. I have never run into this problem. If you're in a really dark place and you don't use the light, it will obviously be harder to see, but even being outside in a bright environment I could still see the numbers on the watch clearly. Maybe if your vision was deteriorating, it could be a problem, but the numbers are fairly big and easy to read. Color: I can see why some people are confused as to the color of this watch. It is definitely in between a gray and a green. Sometimes I'll look at it and it will look gray and other times I'll look at it and it will seem green. I originally wanted to use RIT dye to color it black, but I've actually decided that because of its unique color I do not want to modify it at all.Value: After looking into the Casio G Shock, I ended up buying this one and am perfectly happy with it. I am not looking to upgrade to the Casio or anything like that. Currently this watch is about $70 plus shipping and I really think that it's worth it. As I mentioned above, it seems very rugged and I really do believe this watch will last for years. I'm considering buying a second one in case mine breaks because I've heard that they can be somewhat hard to find, and I really like this watch.Usability: The only complaint I have here is that I wish I could program the buttons to have other functions (ie, one button is an alarm, another button is the compass, another is hydration, etc). Although I wish I could program them, the current setup was easy to adjust to. The compass was somewhat hard to calibrate just because it was a delicate process, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow.Editor's Note: I am posting this review for my boyfriend, who does not have an Amazon account.

Great price. Tough watch. Came early. Been using it on a construction site for a few weeks now. It's survived rain, extreme heat, mud, concrete, sewage and showers. The band is a little incomfortable however I wear it loose and it's ok. No replacement bands available, maybe from timex? Here's hoping i don't need one. Happy with my purchase thuss far

El articulo es un reloj robusto del todo util para actividad táctica,Sencillas funciones con tamaño grande de los dígitos y iluminación nocturna discreta. Encomiable ell servicio prestado por la empresa que me lo vendió (Sunnyvalewheels) . Me enviaron un primer reloj fuera de orden e inmediatamente a mi comunicación me repusieron en mi tarjeta de crédito el dinero de la compra . Seguidamente volví a comprar el mismo reloj a Sunnyvalewheels, ya que era el articulo que yo deseaba, y ha llegado en perfecto estado de funcionamiento. Muy satisfecho con el producto, lo recomiendo.

the watch is a great all rounder simple to use and feels good on the arm... compass is spot on and easy to set up

Love this watch!

Loved this watch, wore almost everywhere and didn't matter where I went I had this watch with me until the strap broke. I would give this watch a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the strap.Straps break but can be replaced by third party straps. This was disappointing because after looking for another strap I contacted customer service and they just said 'sorry'.The design is bad because it can't be replaced. The watch itself has been discontinued from what I understand. So if you are looking to buy this watch just know that the strap can/will break as is apparent from a lot of other reviews on this product.Other than the strap, good watch to have!
