Timex Women's Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T41181


This is my everyday watch for work. I enjoy everything about the watch from the comfortable, stylish band to easy-to-read face with second hand. The calendar is set independent of the time setting. This watch is everything I was looking for.Buy Timex Women's Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T41181!

Timex Women's Easy Reader Silver-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T2H371


I love this watch, with one caveat. It would have been nice if it came with a few expansion links. When I have swelling in my wrists, the band becomes too tight and uncomfortable. It would be perfect if I could just make it a little looser.Buy Timex Women's Easy Reader Silver-Tone Expansion Band Watch #T2H371!

Timex Women's Expedition Brown Leather Strap Metal Field Watch #T47042


I got this from Chelsea Watch and that was easy. The watch runs well and I ran it under the facet and it seems waterproof so I'm happy. The face is bigger than a lady would wear but definitely smaller than you'd see on a man so it truly is unisex....so it's easy to read. The case isn't as thick as many unisex waterproof watches, which I like.

Hope this helps.Buy Timex Women's Expedition Brown Leather Strap Metal Field Watch #T47042!

Timex Unisex 1440 Sports Watch #T5K086


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 Unisex 1440 Sports Watch #T5K086!

Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch #T20011


I wanted this Timex watch for two reasons: the easy-to-read face and the indiglo feature. I'm happy with both. And, at about $25, the price is right.Buy Timex Men's Easy Reader Brown Leather Watch #T20011!

Timex Men's Classic Digital Black Strap Watch #T75961


I've been wearing thius watch for about 8 years now and couldn't ask for a better watch to knock around with. It keeps excellent time and the black on black look is perfect. I couldn't even find this watch on Timex's own site. The service and respond time on Amazon was great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

ThanksBuy Timex Men's Classic Digital Black Strap Watch #T75961!

Timex Men's Expedition Adventure Tech Altimeter Barometer Watch #T41501


Look at the specs for this watch closely: it is 17 mm thick. That's 0.67 inches thick - or more than half an inch. I cannot button the sleeve of a dress shirt over this watch -- and it's a tight fit with my flannel shirt. It is thicker on the top side, with the bezel signicantly higher on the top than the bottom, as well as wider, as you can see from the picture. This protects the crystal from scratches and bumps on the side most at risk.

I have a fairly small wrist, so the watch looks a bit large on me. The band is integral with the case, and the curvature is broader than my wrist, so it does not grip tightly on the sides of my wrist, yet the watch sits securely, without shifting, even when the strap is not tight - so this is good, and comfortable.

Some of the thickness is due to the battery. It takes a CR2032 lithium, a very common size, and the back is secured by small Philips head screws, so I guess you could change it yourself. I hope the large lithium battery will have a long life.

The functions are fairly easy to use, though you will need to read the booklet. There is no exposed sensor, unlike other barometer watches I have owned. I don't know how it measures changes in pressure, whether from the crystal or case or what. It does seem to work pretty well, and responds quickly when going up or down an elevator. It has a graph of barometric pressure (though no explanation of the units used in the graph) and when it indicated it would rain recently, it did the next day.

It also measures temperature, and you can display the temp, pressure or date below the time. There are graphs for barometric pressure and altitude. I wish there were also a graph for temperature over 24 or 36 hours. That can be real handy, such as when checking how cold it got over night while camping. But you would have to take the watch off to get an accurate reading.

The altitude reading on barometers usually wanders off accuracy as barometric pressure changes, so you can calibrate it for the known altitude. At least that's what happened on my older barometer watches. But on this Timex the altitude reading has remained relatively steady during an extreme shift in barometric pressure. So apparently it has an algorithm to compensate for slow pressure changes. The altitude does shift sometimes with the weather. It does not provide depth readings for scuba diving, as far as I can tell - but I have not tried it. As to time, it runs a little fast, like most watches, about a half-second a day.

I am not generally a fan of big watches, but this watch is comfortable, easy to read, day and night, provides many functions, and appears to be sturdier than most watches. Plus the price is great - a fraction of a Suuntu (it only says "Timex" in very small letters, so some people might think it is a Suunto).

I would like to wear it daily, but I simply cannot button most of my shirt cuffs over it. I will use it for hiking, camping, etc. As it is, I use the barometer, but it sits on my desk.

If it were a thinner and a tad narrower I would give it five stars. For an outdoors watch, Timex got it about right. The watch is attractive in its simplicity of design. This is a fun watch to wear that you don't have to pamper or worry about.

Timex Men's Metal Field Expedition Brown Leather Strap Watch #T47012


This watch is gloss black. The photo looks mat grey. I notified Amazon of this by email and they sent me a second watch(why i will never know) and then tried to bill me for it. Then I had to spend more time working with Amazon on the phone to get mailing lables to send the second watch back. In the end I ended up with the original ugly gloss black watch. I will never use Amazon again. Buy Timex Men's Metal Field Expedition Brown Leather Strap Watch #T47012!

Timex Women's 1440 Sports Magnetism Watch #T5B821


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 Women's 1440 Sports Magnetism Watch #T5B821!

Timex Men's Expedition Digital Chrono Alarm Timer Watch #T45961


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 Women's 1440 Sports Digital Watch #T5J151


This watch worked as advertised. Very cute design, a subtle amount of femininity (the pink), and I could get away with wearing it in uniform. The time was large and easy to read, the controls easy to work, and from what I could tell while running, the stopwatch was very accurate. I could also tell the time in Iraq, and back home in the States with the push of a button! My only complaint is that the battery died after only a month! I was in Iraq so I couldn't just walk to the store to replace it. So it pretty much took up space until I got home.Buy Timex Women's 1440 Sports Digital Watch #T5J151!

Timex Men's Expedition Silver-Tone Bracelet Watch #T46601


I was looking for a watch that would be suitable for everyday use, with an easy to unclasp watchband. I like arabic numerals, day and date, and especially like Indiglo lighting, for checking the time at night or in a movie theatre. This watch has all of those features, and a clean, sharp look. The only minor drawback is that the color of the face of the watch is silver, and that takes some getting used to when looking at it in the daylight. Other than that, it's great.Buy Timex Men's Expedition Silver-Tone Bracelet Watch #T46601!

Timex Unisex M Ironman Sleek Digital Watch #T5K039


It does exactly what it's supposed to. Tell time, chronograph, multiple time zones, split chrono, etc.
The only thing that brought the appeal of it down a bit was its size. It is particularly small. even for people use to small watches.
However its main attribute comes of its size, its weight. It is so light that I couldn't feel when I went running, which was the reason for which I bought it for.Buy Timex Unisex M Ironman Sleek Digital Watch #T5K039!

Timex Men's Expedition Metal Analog and Digital Combo Watch #T41361


This is the second of this watch I own. The first one finally wore out after years (so long I can't remember). A couple of the buttons became very hard to push. I went through 4-5 watch bands on the original. This watch band will last!

Timex Men's Easy Reader Expansion Watch #T20031


I have many watches, from quite expensive to moderately expensive. All without exception have been serviced several times. Since the advent of the quartz crystal, I have always felt that unless you're in the market for a-watch-as-jewelry purchase, Timex is an unbeatable time-keeper and timelessly styled watch. For years, I'd been looking for a blue face watch that was not a Swatch. I like my watches classic and plain, with numerals, not objects, to show me the time. This watch is amazing looking and keeps excellent time. I set it by the atomic clock" once, and it is never more than a few seconds different. I also have an Iron Man Timex that my wife bought for me 10 years ago for the gym and other sports. The battery just ran out. Nothing beats a Timex for the classic styling, accurate time-keeping and the price! I bought Timex watches for my 4 grown-up daughters and several for my wife, after her Seiko that I bought in Fortunoff's stopped running after a year. My whole family is now addicted to Timex. The prices are so incredible,you can buy a bunch of different styles for the price of one fancier brand that works much less well. This is the way too go, for sure, unless you wear jewelry. I don't! Forget the Rolex and get tuned in to Timex, the very best look and value if you want to tell the time.Buy Timex Men's Easy Reader Expansion Watch #T20031!

IRONMAN* Triathlon® 100-Lap


I had the Ironman Triathlon 100-lap Flix for about three years, maybe longer. Recently it began to reset itself (it erased its memory, and the time would jump to 1:00 1-1-2000). I took it to my local running store and they helped me send it to Timex. After a few weeks I got it back with a sticker, "cannot be repaired." The box included a new watch, a Timex Men's Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch #T5E231, and a bill for $7. Although I will miss my old watch, the one I got seems even better (it has the same features, and then some). I am very pleased by the response from Timex customer service, the five stars are for them.Buy IRONMAN* Triathlon® 100-Lap!
