Timex Men's Camper Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T43892


All I wanted was a plain ol watch, nothing fancy, nothing complicated (believe me, I have a few of those). This is just what the doctor ordered. Plain and simple. Minute hand, hour hand, and second hand. But wait, what's this? Indiglo? Cool, push the stem and the watch lights up. Neat. Ah, it hacks too. Ok so two frills, haha. If it didn't have these frills I'd be happy too. Lightweight and keeps good time. Looks good. Long battery life. Can't complain at all. I really like this watch.Buy Timex Men's Camper Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T43892!

Timex Men's Classic Analog Metal Field Expedition Watch #T44381


I really enjoyed this watch...until it started losing time. I'm not sure if it is a defect or if the battery was going bad. I thought it was the latter, so I took the back off, popped in a new battery, and that's where my story ends. You see, the back is impossible to put back on. I tried pliers, but chipped the glass in the front trying to get the thing on. It's sad, because I really enjoyed this watch.Buy Timex Men's Classic Analog Metal Field Expedition Watch #T44381!

Timex Men's Ironman 50-Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch #T5E371


I really enjoyed this watch for about 18 months. It was at that point I began to notice cracks in the band. I was able to glue a couple of them until i just gave up. The band was disintegrating on my arm. I did wear it every day, but it saw little or no abuse as I sit behind a desk. Also the crystal is prone to scratching.

EDIT: I just called Timex. They will repair/replace for $10. They also suggested that WalMart may have prepaid Timex shipping envelopes in the Watch department. Swing by to pick one up and shipping there and back is on them. With this I would bump to 4 stars if I could have and if the crystal was better I'd give it 5.Buy Timex Men's Ironman 50-Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch #T5E371!

Timex Men's Classic Digital Silver-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T78587


I purchased my original Timex watch around 1980. It has been a wonderful watch surviving a couple of few battery changes, two replacement twistoflex bands and a lot of use. Over the years there has been some corrotion on my 1980 model making the buttons dificult to use, so about eight years back I started looking for a replacement.

Styles change and digital watched all seemed to address the needs of runners and deep sea divers. I was stunned and delighted to find the Timex Men's Classic Digital watch with a twistoflex band. Now I have a dress watch!
My one demerit, thus only a four star rating, is for the band being one twistoflex link too tight.
Many folks make think me nuts for carrying on about a plain Timex watch but it is every thing I want in a watch. Also I know two other folks that still cherish their +25 year old classic Timex watches. I may buy another so I have it when I need one in 2036.Buy Timex Men's Classic Digital Silver-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T78587!

Timex Women's Easy Reader Xtra-Expansion Gold-Tone Watch #T2H501


I couldn't be happier with this watch. The numbers are clear and easy to read, and I love the Indiglo feature - when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can know almost instantly what time it is :-) I am heavy, and the extra length in the band makes it completely comfortable to wear. Would definitely buy again. I tried to insert a product link, but came up with no matches. Keep searching though - it is well worth it.Buy Timex Women's Easy Reader Xtra-Expansion Gold-Tone Watch #T2H501!

Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 30-Lap Shock Resistant Watch #T56442


Love this watch. I just ordered another one of these to replace the worn-out one I have. Over several years, I've replaced the battery as well as the strap. I've beaten the heck out of this one: the silver paint is worn off in spots and the black rubber "shock" cover is beginning to come loose.

I use it for running, and the controls are easy to use. The Velcro strap is nice for when you want to wear the watch on the outside of your jacket.

Highly recommended.Buy Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 30-Lap Shock Resistant Watch #T56442!

Timex Men's 1440 Sport Digital Watch #T5J571


This is good looking watch for men. Especially considering the value and full menu of options. However, notice the days of week are very tiny and notice that the month is not shown on the home screen without a button push. And the huge chrono dislay numbers are great. Big enough to hang on the pool deck and still see even with goggles. But then the bad news. Poof! After 30 minutes of exercise, the seconds become very tiny and tenths do not show. The only number big enough to read while running after a half hour is the minutes.Buy Timex Men's 1440 Sport Digital Watch #T5J571!

Timex Men's Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch #T5E241


Bought watch to use in workouts at club and it is better than I had hoped for -- large numbers make it easy to read and functions are easy to use as well. Concerned about strap at first but it fits nicely and is comfortable if not fastened too tightly. All in all, a great bargain at the price and I'm delighted with the product -- looks great too.Buy Timex Men's Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch #T5E241!

Timex Women's Classic Bracelet Watch #T29271


While this is a nice watch, the design of the band makes it very difficult to adjust it to a smaller size. This appears to be a design problem with the new Timex bands of this type.Buy Timex Women's Classic Bracelet Watch #T29271!

Timex Men's Expedition Camper Watch #T49101


I also have had this watch for years. I bought it to wear when I'm out doing yard work, working with concrete,carpentry, etc. I figured it would last a summer or so. The watch is light, dial is easy to read, the crystal is still unscratched and I have yet to change the battery. The watch keeps great time and the indiglo light works as advertised. Easily worth twice the price. This watch is one of those few things in life that far exceed expectations. Buy Timex Men's Expedition Camper Watch #T49101!

Timex Men's Expedition Classic Digital Outdoor Performance Chrono Alarm Timer Watch #T48042


This watch has the most beautiful readable display I've ever had
on any Timex model. Very light silver background with black
digits. All functions work great. The indiglo light on this model
lights up only the digits, not the background too. That's very
nice. Plus it has a tiny compass (magnetic north) on the band.

Timex Unisex 1440 Sports Digital Watch #T5G881


There are some reviews for this watch that complain about the instructions not being easily understood, which I too found myself believing when I first read them, but if you read them again, and follow each step as described, the instructions become quite clear.Buy Timex Unisex 1440 Sports Digital Watch #T5G881!

Great watch for the money. It definitely makes a statement and has bit of a retro feel to it. Gets lots of comments. The mode is easy to change. The alarm is easy to set(not that loud though). The light is bright enough to read the time at night. The elastic metal band is comfy and cool! Great watch for the money! Buy Timex Men's Classic Digital Gold-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T78677!

Timex Men's Ironman Data Link USB Watch #T5C291


I was confused trying to find out about the various styles of this watch. If you go to the Timex website you'll see there are two "models", the T53722 (silver) and 5C291 (black with silver band). The only differences are between color, and that's it. Any other IronMan data watch you find will be an older, discontinued model, no longer produced by Timex. This is the information I got from customer service today (march 11th). Nice watch!Buy Timex Men's Ironman Data Link USB Watch #T5C291!

IRONMAN iControl Watch - Unisex by Timex


Overall it's a decent product. The control scheme is a bit confusing and the band feels cheap. But it does provide a lot of useful functions like lap timer and countdown timer. However there is one design flaw which ruins it - the remote adapter that attaches to the Ipod is too large. On a 4th gen Nano, the adapter almost covers the earphone jack. The Ipod pack-in headphones will fit, but almost any L-shaped connector will not. That means you can't use it with most of the headphones on the market. If I can't use the headphones I want with it, it's pretty much useless. It does fit okay on a 3rd gen Nano or full-size Ipod. But since I use it when I run, I don't want to carry a full-size Ipod. For a runner, get the Nike + iPod WatchRemote (Remote Watch Amp+) - Black/Dark Grey - WM0053-003 instead. It has a lot fewer functions, but it does the important stuff - tell time and control the Ipod. And it has a small enough adapter that I can use the earphones I want to.Buy IRONMAN iControl Watch - Unisex by Timex!

Timex Men's Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Flix Watch #T5H591


Great watch. Not too big and extremely comfortable. From day one I could barely tell that I was wearing it because it is so light. The shaped wristband helps too.
I've worn this everyday for about two years now. The buttons work well and numbers are large and clear. However, the face of my watch became somewhat cloudy after a camping trip. I'm not sure if it is due to bugspray with high DEET concentration, or if the watch just got too close to the hot fire. Buy Timex Men's Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Flix Watch #T5H591!

Timex Men's Classic Camper Watch Black #T18581


Don't get me wrong, I love how this watch looks and works, buuuuut ...

1. It feels like a 25$ watch; it's very lightweight and probably not very shock resistant. To that end, I'm curious how long it's actually going to last
2. The clasp is a little uncomfortable. I'm considering spraying it with plasti-dip to put a coating that'd be a little more comfortable on my inner wrist. I'm hesitant to do this because I don't know how plasti-dip responds to sweat. Buy Timex Men's Classic Camper Watch Black #T18581!

Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch #T20041


Dial is easy to read at a glance and the stem-press dial illumination is handy.
Downsides:
1. Stem is woefully undersized, difficult to pull and to grasp for adjusting time.
2. Calendar is useless. Should be eliminated, making the watch even more of a bargain.Buy Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch #T20041!

Timex Unisex Ironman Triathlon Sleek 50/100 Watch #T54281


I've purchased this same exact watch before and it worked great. Used it for swimming, running, and everything in between. Not a problem with the first watch. I decided to purchase the same exact watch again through amazon.com since my first watch was getting pretty beat up. I'd had it for years and the wrist band was about to go. The silver grey paint was starting to flake off. The new second watch looked exactly as my first watch except the 2nd day I used it for my usuall swimming sessions I noticed the watch a few hours later had fogged and water had gottten into the watch were it shorted out the crystal display. Bad luck of the draw!?!?!? I'll probably buy another of the same model and figure that this one just happened to be a lemon.

Timex Men's Easy Reader watch. Wanted a simple digital watch w/o stopwatch, military time, lap timer or alarm. Couldn't find one--are you listening Timex?

Timex Women's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch #T20071


This watch is very nice but there is one odd thing: the date is IMPOSSIBLE to read. It is so small that you cannot even see it with a magnifying glass. In fact, I tried with a magnifying glass and still could not read it. I'm not sure why they include this feature, since it is way too small to see? Personally I don't care that much since I never really use the date, you have to keep remembering to adjust it every month. However it seems strange that the watch is sold as an "easy reader", and the hour numbers are all very large, but then the date is so tiny you cannot read it at all.

Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 42-Lap Combo Dual Tech Watch #T56381


I owned this watch for 3 years

the display is not green like the picture, but black and white. Check other pictures on the net.

It is way too heavy. It weights as much as 3 other watches I have together. I am sure you could use it as self defense weapon. Now that the 2 batteries are dead (yes there are 2 batteries inside), I'll try to sell it for scrap metal :-)

Yes, this is actually TWO Watches, there is no synch between the digital and the analog (not like casios for exemple where the analog is controlled thru push buttons)

WAY Too heavy, heavier than my mobile phone.

Does not look that great this big bulky plain steel frame with a useless crown, and black and white display.

The back is very difficult to open if you want to service it yourself Buy Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 42-Lap Combo Dual Tech Watch #T56381!

Timex Expedition with Chronograph and Alarm


THIS TIMEX CHRONOGRAPH WATCH IS (IN MY OPINION), ONE OF THE BEST FOR THE MONEY. I PURCHASED MY FIRST T42351 CHRONOGRAPH WATCH 18 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT EVER SINCE. I LIKED IT SO MUCH, THAT I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A SECOND "BACK-UP" WATCH FROM AMAZON AT A BARGAIN PRICE $12 LESS THAN WHAT I PAID FOR MY FIRST WATCH. JUST TAKE THAT FUNKY LEATHER WATCH BAND OFF AND TOSS IT; REPLACE WITH THE TIMEX FAST-WRAP, WATER-RESISTANT, 16-20MM BAND. GREAT WATCH/BAND COMBO.

Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch #T56371


The band on this watch broke within 6 months. I have searched for another band, but Timex makes this in such a way that you have to buy a whole new watch to get the band. I noticed, while researching, that another person got stuck with this trick also. I feel so disgusted looking at this watch that I want to just throw it in the trash now. It still looks like brand new, but the little flimsy clasp with the Ironman symbol on it (right where it clips onto the watch) separated. The next time I bought a man's watch, I spent triple the money (NOT ON A TIMEX) and that watch is doing great. If Timex keeps pulling this trick, I'll never buy another Timex watch as long as I live...I'll do my research before buying next time IF I ever decide to buy another Timex.Buy Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 42 Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch #T56371!
