TimexMen's Expedition Scout Solar-Powered 40mm Watch

I hadn’t initially realised the watch was coming from the US. Some reviewers had said their packages arrived damaged, mine was absolutely perfect on arrival, despite it only being in a flimsy envelope. Following tracking, it took days to travel across the states but I received it in a day once it cleared customs in the UK. Three days ahead of the date I was given. Well done the post office! The watch itself is quite chunky. Feels solid and sturdy. After a couple of weeks it’s keeping perfect time. The strap looks ok but isn’t that comfortable, perhaps it’s still a bit stiff. The illumination only lasts momentarily. The face is clean and crisp but the second hand is almost impossible to see as it’s the same colour as the background. I like the solar power aspect of the watch, it seems to be working with no effort to keep it in the sun. I just hope it lasts as long as my first Timex watch. That is 53 years old and still running perfectly.

Took the time advertised to arrive. As with most other reviews, when it arrived the box was bashed up a bit. The plastic display unit was broken, but the watch itself was perfect.The second hand will double tick when on low charge, don't worry it's not broken (I searched online as I was worried lol). I put it under a lamp all night to give it a full charge and it's continously worked since then with no issues.I had a problem registering the device. I scanned the QR code and emailed Timex, they responded but I haven't had a resolution yet.Happy with the watch but would like it to be registered.

Plenty of issues, but the good outweighed the bad. Firstly, the watch arrived with compromised packaging - which seems to be the norm, if you read the other reviews. More specifically, it had been unpacked and then put back together wrongly, so that it only had one thin layer of card protecting it. Moreover, the crystal had a layer of dried-on, scummy water on it, and the case sides were covered in smudgy fingerprints. All very odd, but it cleaned up well and I couldn't find any actual damage. Other negatives - the dark grey second hand moves across a dark grey dial, and consequently can't be seen. The body of the watch is quite chunky, approx 11.5mm deep. I'm not sure why this is necessary, as my Bering Solar watch measures at about 7.5mm. I guess the date complication needs extra space, but I'd rather lose that and have a slimmer watch. The choice of strap is also puzzling - beige with bright orange highlight threads. Why did they decide on this match-up? The dial is dark grey with pale green markers, so there is no real attempt at matching colours. In every other respect, the watch is very nice. High quality finish, and an attractive gunmetal shade. The dial design is also quite smart, although the lume appears to be minimal, showing up only on the minute and hour hands - not the markers. The leather strap, despite the colour choice, is high quality and very comfortable. The time-keeping appears fine and the crown operation feels better than most of my other watches. Overall, I am happy.

Great watch for the money. Lightweight and stylish. It does have a loud tick so may be annoying if you have on your bedside table at night.

It is not often I leave reviews on Amazon; however, I am so impressed by this watch I feel compelled to. I was not expecting much from this Timex, I have had other more expensive watches from the brand (in the £100-£200 range). And I have not been overly impressed by the quality of them. However, I paid £41 for this Expedition and for the added benefit of solar charging also that is incredible value. I have had much more expensive Swiss automatic watches in the past and this watch is making me re-evaluate what you really need in a watch. And this one really ticks all the boxes you need. An added benefit is the leather strap is also amazing quality for the money. I have had Hamilton automatics with significantly worse straps than this. Overall, I highly recommend.

This is a nice looking watch but unfortunately it did not charge up over two days and had to be returned. It would work intermittently and not keep time when it did. The watch box was bashed up and the plastic holder inside was snapped in half. Not sure it this was an already returned item.

Looks good. Keeps good time and doesn't need replacement batteries as it is solar powered. What's more, it is inexpensive.

Excellent watch so accurate, no winding and no battery. The time keeping is to the second and it is great value. Wasn’t all that keen on the strap so replaced it .
