Expedition Metal Field 40mm Men’s Analog Watch | Luminous Hands | 24 Hour Time | Quick Date Function | Rugged Outdoor Watch | 50M Water Resistance

Only a few days in, but I'm very happy with this watch. The case is substantial, it's easy to read the high contrast dial, and the crystal is glass, not plastic. I even like the machining grooves on the sides of the case. They also engraved the battery size and lug width on the back cover - first time I've seen that. I expect the fancy stitched leather band to wear out fairly fast, but in the meantime it looks great. Timex proves the power of mass production and good QC to make a watch this good at such a low price.

It's a beautiful watch. Sleek and simple. The light up face is kinda cool. However, if you are a big guy like me you might have a hard time with the band. I was only able to use the first notch. Apparently it's meant for men with skinny wrists.

Unlike many of its Expedition brethren, the T47012 is QUIET. Whether you're camping out or just couch surfing, this timepiece provides Indiglo performance without a distractingly loud accompaniment. The brass case inspires more confidence in the stated 50m of water resistance than the resin cases of more recent versions. The leather band is nicely supple, immediately comfortable, and of better overall quality than you might expect at this price point. My one minor caveat is that while the wave pattern dial looks fantastic in normal light (one of the main reasons I chose this model), it interferes with the timekeeping legibility just a tad in Indiglo mode. Otherwise, I think this is the best Expedition in this price range, providing great value, quality, and performance.

This review mainly serves as a reminder for people who may not look close enough before they place the order. This watch is a good watch and I receive a well-made product. Very comfortbale on wrist. Looks great. Very good value for its price. I am kind of a Timex fan, owning a few Timex watches for quite some years. One was bought in 2001 and just started not working last year. This Expedition's quality is just like all other Timex watches I own: care free, well-built for its price, and long lasting, which I believe this one will also be. The reason I am buying this Expedition is I need a field watch that is big enough. The spec of this Expedition is listed as 40mm case diameter and I thought that should be big enough. Turns out the dial looks quite small when you have it on your wrist. The photo is a comparison between Timex Easy Reader (35mm case diameter) and this Expedition (40mm case diameter). You can see their dial diameter are pretty much the same. After measuring it is around 30mm-31mm. The Arabic numerals on the Expedition actually are smaller than the Easy Reader. Well I guess that's why they name it the Easy Reader. All in all, this Expedition looks and reads time smaller than your typical 40mm watch. Mostly it is becasue the bezel/frame takes out quite some real estate of the 40mm diameter which I didn't pay attention to when I ordered.

This is a great watch... It looks good, keeps perfect time as Timex is known for and I wear it almost everyday... It is actually 39mm which makes it just right.

Nice watch. Works well. Not oversized like alot of new watches.

Great price and very nice looking watch. I haven't worn a watch for some time and decided that I wanted to wear one again. I prefer the analog look to the digital look. I really like it!

This Timex Watch was something that my husband had years ago or close to what he had, but, this watch is amazing and it really. Is really a solid watch.
