Product Description

Everything about this watch is adventure-ready; rip-stop polycotton strap, tactical dial indicators, raised crown-guard and an illuminated dial with our Indiglo night-light. It deploys in your choice of field or night camo for the full-time outdoorsman.

Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.

The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.

During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.

The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.

One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.

Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Wow. Perfect summer watch!

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

Wow. After finding this gem, I read most of all the reviews here and ordered it.

1. The watch itself looks way better than the picture.
2. The band. I got this watch because of the rubber band. This band is so smooth and soft. If you know G-Shock bands, this is way way smoother than those. And I believe this watch cost justifies itself just for the band.
3. Watch is light. Very light and not too thick. You have to look at it yourself.
4. Ticking sound====> I own (as of now) 4 Timex's and wear them all regularly. If you own a Timex, this one ticks just as loud as those. Yes, it bothers me when I'm in quiet place or try to sleep but this is not louder than other Timex's. So if you know the loudness of regular Timex, then, there shouldn't be any surprises regarding the sound.
5. I bought this for the summer. Hot/humid, and I get into water a lot (pools). So not sure if this is going to fog up (like some other reviewer said).

So far I'm very satisfied with the look, weight, and (most importantly) how the band looks and feels. By this just for the sake of the band. You won't regret.

I bought this watch to have a good looking casual watch that I wouldn't have to worry about getting beat up. If you read the product description you'll note that the case in not metal. They call the material resin, which feels like a heavy duty plastic with a matte finish. This has the benefit of making it light weight. The outer ring doesn't rotate, but I've never really used that feature. In fact this is a pretty basic watch which tells time and has a little date indicator. The back of the case is stainless steel and is held in place with 4 little screws.

I have three Timex Expeditions, this is the latest purchase. I have beat up the first one (purchased in '12) thru work, swimming and travel and it is still ticking, keeping good time. The second one purchased in'14 was a little nicer than the first Expedition and it goes most places (in the water too) other than work and keeps on ticking. The T49940 was purchased to replace a rather expensice Seiko that has not wprked very well and did not keep on ticking. I found the T49940 to be as advertised and pleased with my purchase. These are not expensive wrist watches, however mine have not failed me, they look good, are easy to use and just keep on ticking, keep the correct time.

Great watch for the great outdoors!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Another great and very inexpensive watch from Timex. My only beef is that the bezel, which is very visible, almost prominent, does not rotate! This is typical with many Timex models, and I'm sure that it's directly related to price. But a bezel that looks this nice should be a working one, in my opinion. Brings the rating down to four instead of five stars. HOWEVER---the watch, like all my Timex's, is accurate to a "T". The face is very easy to read at a quick glance, thanks to the nice contrast between the black dial and white hands and numbers. The watch looks and is rugged, and I'm not afraid to get it wet. The camo-style strap is a nice touch and lends to the "outdoorsy" feel of the watch. The movement is a little noisy, and you WILL notice the sound of it ticking. Personally I like the sound of a ticking watch, though when I was younger I hated it, and so can understand why some people find it objectionable. All in all, I would recommend this watch without hesitation.

Truly honest review of this timepiece

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

For the price, this watch is great if you need something cheap to wear every day and not have to worry about damage. If it breaks, it's cheap enough so you don't feel bad. It works totally fine, the date functions works when you realize that it knows the difference between AM and PM, so set it accordingly and test it out before you deem it a non-working feature. For those who expect a waterproof watch, I'd recommend looking elsewhere and paying a little extra for that because this watch doesn't seem like it would handle water too well. I always take it off before washing hands or showering and for those who complain about having to do that, once again, looks elsewhere and spend more than $50. The strap is regular length so if you've got giant wrists, you might wanna look for a longer strap. Don't complain about it if you don't do any research prior to purchasing. The watch works fairly well, although I haven't had it for that long so I will try and keep this post updated sometime down the line. And finally for all those who are whining about the clock ticking too loud, suck it up and get over it. It's what a watch does and if you cannot appreciate that, don't bother spending the money. Recommend this to anyone who wants a watch they can wear every day, although don't put it through too much stress or it will break. It's not the strongest by far but it works well for me.

I got the watch for use as a work watch in the construction field. I didn't take into respect that the fabric strap though well made and nice looking would get dirty frequently with concrete and dirt and wet at times so it will only look good until that happens. It's shell is made of plastic so we'll see how that holds up it should be fine it's a timer. The only thing I don't like is the timing ring on the front of the ring doesn't turn so I can't time down. But I'm confident it will do well

Cheap and cheaply built. Indiglo function failed after first week. Sent it in and they tried to charge me $12 to fix it. (they sent watch back with a bill, I didn't pay) Poor customer service. On month three now and suddenly the minute hand just swings around, unattached to its mount. Expected more from this company and from reading other reviews. Questioning this brand.

Purchased the watch because I liked the "outdoorsy" looks. When it arrived I could see what a nice looking timepiece it really is. Light and very comfortable, nice band that is not hot and does not cause your wrist to sweat. Only certified for 50 meters however if I am 150 feet under water my watch will not be my main concern..!! So far I love the watch, I will post again in a year and discuss the reliability and durability of the watch. I am a Timex fan, Im sure it will be a great piece.....

Awesome! I really like this watch. It's probably my 4th or 5th Timex. The calfskin band is very comfortable and watch is easily readable in any conditions. Some reviews mention that the face is actually green and not black as in the photos. This is true, but under some conditions the green appears almost black. It looks great in green, though IMHO.
