I work in the construction trucking field, hauling dirt and equipment and some manual labor. I need a watch that is unbreakable and low profile, to not snag on equipment.
I am on my second expedition watch since 1994. I caught the band of the first one on a piece of heavy equipment and had to cut the band to get free (not an easy task, by the way). I was unable to find a replacement band in any local store so I bought a new Expedition.
I hit the face of my watches frequently with tiedown chains and have yet to break the crystal on an Expedition watch.
The only faults I have found are the difficulty in finding replacement bands and, for some reason, the Indiglo lights don't last very long for me..Battery life, comfortable, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Valueindiglo light seems fragile.Timex watches have been the most reliable for me for 49 years. I got my first one for my sixth birthday.

I've had this watch for nearly 10 years now, and it's never let me down. I'm amazed at the fact that the watch glass has no scratches in it, and it's definitely seen it's share of rough terrain..Battery life, reliable, Rugged, Value, Worn all the time

I've had many watches, Citizen to Gucci and in between, and this Timex is the best ever!
I've been wearing watches from the Expedition Field series for over 15 years and I recommend this specific model without qualification.
I wear it ALL THE TIME!!
Simply put---Excellence!.Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Value, Worn all the time, with indiglo i can see it at night!It's a terrific watch at a great price. Why spend more for a watch that will be of less use and value? Timex is classic Americana--and I love that aspect of your product lines.

I have had this watch for over five years and it has "taken a licken and kept on ticken." I swim, boat, and water ski with it on and it still looks nice enough to wear out at night to formal events.

The brushed case and clasps in stainless steel wrist band gives the watch a rugged, but dressy look; also the dials glow in the dark..intense indiglo night-lightwrist band can show a lot of wear

I hate wearing jewlery but I dont consider this watch jewlery I consider it a tool! I have had this watch for about 5 years now I think. It has the best clasp I have ever used on a watch band It never comes undone. The look of the watch speaks for it self It is proffesional and shows class both at the same time. Glow in the dark hands and backlit display when needed are a plus plus. Great battery life. This watch is simple yet sophisticated look and feel I have several high dollar watches including a Rolex and I will always choose this one I wear it every day. I do have a couple scratches in the glass but I wear the watch doing some pretty brutal conditions working and playing I like it so much I am going to buy 2 more just like just to have them incase they discontinue making this model. Nothing to think about with this fantastic time piece buy it wear it use it everyday You can't go wrong with it no matter how many different hats you may wear in your life.Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Value, Worn all the timethere are no consQuality,Durability,Cost,Functioality,Look and Feel
