TimexExpedition Camper Men's 39 mm Watch

I was looking for a cheap wristwatch in order to replace a low-quality one purchased through Ebay. My requirements were the following:1. To be analogue2. To show the date (day only)3. To be water-resistant (I am not diving but swimming a lot)This watch fulfilled all requirements and on top of that features the Indiglo functionality with illuminating the plate in order to show the time in the dark. The band is nylon but is not hard to the skin and seems really durable. Timex is a well-known brand of watches, so I was surprised by the watch's low price (something like 25 pounds). The watch is extremely light (you can hardly feel it) and seems to be scratch resistant too, but it is indeed too noisy. I have absolutely no issue with it ticking during the night as I do not wear it while I am sleeping; however, in business trips (where I usually stay in small hotel rooms) I can hear it ticking all night! Surely no problem for me, as I am a heavy sleeper. It may not look fancy to some people, but is an excellent casual watch which I expect to have with me for the next years.

I was looking for a cheap tough waterproof watch to wear surfing so i know I've still loads of time left in the water! Well, this watch is absolutely great, does what it says, no frills but perfect for what I wanted. It's all plastic but the strap is like the stuff rucksack straps are made from with a normal watch buckle to secure it.The face of the watch is easy to read and looks really good and the bonus of having the indiglo night light at this price is great too. I suppose the only thing not so good is the loud tick but that doesn't bother me at all although some might find it too loud. It's just a watch tick though....I wear this watch when working, at the gym and when surfing so it gets lots of use and spends a lot of time in and under the water and is like new. I'm really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap, light, tough, waterproof watch. Great!

I have owned this watch since June 2011.Plus points: Very clear / easy to read face and date window. Good luminosity and the Indiglo night light is great. Very comfortable strap that will fit someone with a very small wrist (like mine. !) and yet expand to accomodate monster man wrists. Keeps excellent time - I haven't needed to reset it since I purchased it.Minus points: None that I can think of. I guess some some people might not like the grey plastic case and khaki strap, but I love it.All in all I have found this a very, very good day watch indeed - nothing complicated, it does what it should, it's reliable and excellent value for money.

Arrived quickly. Perfect. Good price. Husband loves it

This is a beautiful watch that is easy to read and ridiculously light and comfortable. It has taken a few knocks but doesn't show any signs of wear yet so it seems pretty dang durable. The only thing that I could see as a downside is that it does tick rather loudly - often I don't notice it or when I do I find it soothing, but there has been one occasion where it felt a bit uncomfortably loud.

I love watches. I have far too many, but I don't have enough. I'm sure you know what I mean ;)This watch is absolutely amazing value for money, especially when it dips to £15.10 or thereabouts.The Indiglo feature is far more efficient than having a light that lights up the face partially. With this watch, you'll be able to read the dial clearly regardless of the conditions. Speaking of which, being water resistant to 50m is far more than the majority of us need. It'll certainly be fine if you forget to take it off in the shower, or if your 'mates' decide to throw you in the pool.I've owned 3 of these watches now (first one was stolen from my locker, and the second got lost during a drunken hike) and the most recent one is 4 months old, and the only time I've had to change the time is with seasonal changes. I don't bother with the date and would consider this watch perfect if it omitted it. Having said that, I've grown to ignore it, and with differing month lengths, leap years etc, I know it'll match up again within 24 years or so.The strap could be a bit bigger as I need it on the last hole, as I'm a bit bigger than the average bear. However, it looks as though making another or even replacing the strap would be easy enough.In a nutshell, this watch keeps good time, is tough, water resistant, and lights up when needed. Just what I want when I'm not 'forced' to put on a suit ;)

Bought this watch to feel rugged and adventurous. Ended up feeling mildly itchy and slightly damp.Let’s start with the positives: it looks the part. Slap this on your wrist and you immediately feel like you could read a compass, light a fire with a crisp packet, and tell a bear to wait politely while you pitch your tent. It’s got that “serious outdoorsman” vibe, even if the most rugged thing you do is argue with the recycling bin.It tells the time accurately, which, to be fair, is its actual job. The face is clear, the backlight is useful if you suddenly need to know it’s 2:37am while in the dark, and the ticking sound is minimal enough not to trigger an existential crisis.Now for the watch’s rebellious side: comfort. The strap feels like it's made from recycled army boots. Wearing it is a bit like being gently nagged by your wrist all day. You’ll find yourself adjusting it constantly, which is a great distraction from actual work.And the water resistance? Think “light British drizzle” rather than “swan dive into a river.” I wore it in the rain once and it responded like a cat in a bathtub. Moisture got in, fogged up the face, and the watch gave me a look like I had betrayed it.In summary: it’s a decent-looking timepiece for pretending you're on a solo expedition, as long as you stay dry, don't move much, and have a high tolerance for nylon-based chafing.★★★☆☆ – Works fine. Just don’t get too comfortable, or too wet.
