Many Times, the Old-Fashioned, "Boring" Ones Make the Best Life Partners
Summary: This is a review for the black "Camper" style Expedition watch with a black Velcro Fast Wrap band. This style is unique from the other Expedition Acadia watches offered by Amazon in that it has water resistance of 100M instead of 50M for the other models. I have seen some non-Amazon reviews showing this same black Timex Expedition watch with 50M water resistance, but mine is 100M. I believe that there is also a white dial version of this watch, too, that is available on Amazon, but it is listed separately from the other Acadia models.A quick rundown of watch details: 38mm resin case, quartz movement, 100M water resistant, Indiglo, push crown at 3 o'clock with modest protectors flanking the crown, date complication, hackable second hand, stainless steel screw down case back, Fast Wrap Velcro band, black dial, white Arabic numerals, small military time designations, flush acrylic face, white lumed minute and hour hands, and red second hand. All in all, a very simple watch design.Pros: Easy to read, durable, light weight, the second hand lines up with the dial markers, accurate, very comfortable band, excellent water resistance, Indiglo backlighting feature is excellentCons: None, really. If I had to come up with some, I would say average lume on hands, will eventually have to replace the batteryReview: The first thing I would say is that if you can still find one of these and you are in the market for a solid, dependable military-style field watch, stop reading this and buy it now while you can. At 30-ish dollars, you can't go wrong and there isn't much to lose.I have always been hard on watches. I have a digital Casio G-Shock, but I wanted a simple, analog field watch (without all the *stuff* on it) as a different style of beater watch. After some searching and looking at a lot of different watch reviews online (including reviews from soldiers who purchased Timex Campers like this one at the PX and wore them in the field), this popped up on Amazon and I purchased it.I have had it for a little over a month now and it has been a faithful companion during that time. I don't go out of my way to abuse my possessions, but this Timex hasn't been coddled, either. It's gone to work with me in an office setting, but it also does real yardwork with me, I have taken it hiking, I have submerged it in water, I workout with it on, and I have had no problems with it at all. It has gotten a little scuffed up and dirty, but it cleans up nicely, including the Velcro. It has gotten a few good bumps and it's just fine. The face isn't rounded and doesn't stick out above the surface of the watch, so it won't get scratched up so easily. When it does invariably get scratched though, it should be easy enough to polish out the blemishes.For what it's worth, if you are looking for a comfortable band, particularly if you have a larger wrist like I do (8"), the Velcro band is really nice. It fits perfectly every time, it isn't scratchy at all, it dries out quickly, it stays secure at all times, and it never feels sticky like the regular resin-type bands do. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but now I'm not sure if I would want to go back to another resin band.The watch has been fairly accurate. As soon as I received it from Amazon, I set it using www.time.gov. During the time that I have had it, it has lost only four seconds. That's not too bad at all. With a quartz movement, I didn't expect any less. It is easy to set both the time and date. The second hand is hackable, so synchronized time-setting is possible.The uncluttered dial is easy to read. The numbers are crisp. The hands are clear. The date window doesn't require a second look. One of the characteristics of this watch that will please some of the more exacting watch owners out there is the fact that the second hand movement lines up with the markers as the second hand moves around the dial. Some watches have analog movements where the second hand fails to properly land on the markers, but not this one!The watch isn't too large, so it slips nicely under one's sleeve, but yet it isn't so small that it looks like a kid's timepiece. Even as a bigger, taller guy with a larger wrist, the watch still looks appropriate on me. It is also very light and I forget that I'm wearing a watch.There really aren't too many things that I don't like about the watch. The lume on the hands isn't outstanding. It's fine, but what lume it has is not going to garner awards. The hour and minute hands have lume, but there is no lume on the dial or second hand. That said, it is important to remember that this is not a dive watch. The Indiglo works very nicely though. In absolute darkness, the Indiglo function works perfectly.Having to replace the watch battery someday will stink, but only because I worry about losing water resistance due to improper battery and O-ring installation. I like the watch enough that I will probably just pay to send it to Timex, have them replace the battery, give it a once over, and then ship it back to me. I would rather have the manufacturer do it right than have a jeweler screw it up. Yeah, I know, it's only a $30 watch, but it's a really well-designed $30 watch and I like it. It feels like somebody took time to engineer this watch right. It may sound kind of silly, but it's like somebody actually cared when this watch was being designed and built. It is a lot like driving past a simple, old building in town that has a special architectural character to it. It just looks and feels like it was thoughtfully designed to do something very specific. That's what this watch is like.That leads me to my last point. I may be wrong, but I don't think Timex makes this model anymore. Why not? They make a lot of other ones that are prettier, have GPS, can pay for groceries, or whatever, but they aren't going to last like this one. This is a tremendous watch and blows away all of the other Expedition models. Why is it that such a great watch like this gets discontinued? Is it because it is too old-fashioned? Is it boring? Nobody bought it? Well, if it pops up for sale on Amazon, and you're in the market for this simple, camper-style watch, you should plunk down your $30 or so and get it. Many times, the old-fashioned, "boring" ones make the best life partners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super cheap, super great / FIVE YEAR UPDATE AT END OF REVIEW
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016
I bought this as a beater watch for things like working in the woodshop, exercising, yard work, etc. Basically anything where there was high potential for scratching my regular watch. My criteria for this watch was as follows:

- 40mm wide or less for the case and low profile
- analog display
- doesn’t look ugly
- water resistant to 100M so I can swim with it
- cheap enough I won’t care if a lose it or break it.

This was basically the only watch that met all of that criteria. The most difficult thing was to find a 40mm or less analog watch for cheap that could go to 100M eliminated almost every watch except this one. This is a big deal because anything less means you really shouldn’t take it swimming or in the shower. I will say, for a dirt cheap watch, it looks pretty good – something I couldn’t say about other analog sport watches in this price range. It looks better in person than in the photo.

Here’s what I like: It looks decently good. You could wear it as an everyday watch and not get funny looks unless you are the type to wear a suit to work. It’s lightweight so doing sports or swimming with it is easy as it doesn’t throw off balance at all, nor does it flop around on your wrist from the weight. The nylon strap was something I was initially concerned about because these kinds of straps wear out FAST. But this one is actually half leather (on the back) and half nylon (on the outside; the visible part). Over the past month and a half it has held up VERY well so I don’t really have any concerns about this wearing out any faster than any other band. The leather backing also makes it more comfortable than a regular nylon watch. The dial is extremely high contrast and VERY easy to read at a quick glance. The hands do not glow in the dark, but even better, it has indiglo if you push in the crown so the whole face lights up blue in the dark. The back of the case uses four tiny screws, so no need to take it into a store to have the battery replaced.

Here’s what I don’t like: The glass is actually acrylic so over time it WILL scratch just like the glass on any digital watch. That said, this watch was $25 so can I REALLY complain about that? Not really. And the acrylic does help make the watch very light weight which is something I like. The other thing is that it’s a pretty loud watch “tick tock tick tock!” This is due to the acrylic glass and plastic body. If you keep it on a nightstand right next to your head, you’ll hear it all night long. I keep it in an open drawer of my nightstand and I generally don’t hear it. But just be forewarned, it will probably be the loudest watch you ever buy.

Overall, I’m EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. If I lose this thing, I will buy another without a doubt.

+++++++++++++++FIVE YEAR UPDATE:++++++++++++++++

Well, I’ve now had this thing for over five years. It’s done a TON of woodworking, hard yardwork (including chainsaw work), a ton of bike rides, hikes, camping, etc. Whenever I have been concerned about scratching a watch, this is the one I’ve worn. I love it more now than I did when I bought it. The acrylic glass has held up surprisingly well. I bought one of these for my son in preschool and he played with it in a sandbox and scratched it up good. I was able to buff it out very quickly with 1000grit, 2000grit, and then toothpaste and it was good as new. My watch hasn’t needed any touchups. Are there scratches? Yes, but they are all very very fine and you don’t notice unless you look closely. The watch case is similar – if you look very closely you can see some very light wear, but you have to look closely. Overall, I’m very impressed with the cosmetic durability considering what I do with this watch.

That said, I almost lost this watch camping right at the five year mark. The watch strap started to fail right at the pin. To be fair, that’s five years and I’ve had leather straps on watches give up the ghost far sooner so I am impressed with the strap. I replace it with a black nato which I wanted to do for this very reason long ago, but I liked the included strap so I never did it. Nato straps are good for watches that see a lot of hard activity because they don’t rely on both pins, so in a catastrophic failure the watch stays on your wrist and just flops around. If you do get a NATO strap, be aware that there’s not a ton of clearance between the pin and the case so some straps might not fit easily if they are fairly thick – so avoid any strap that boasts about their thickness. Gotta say though, it looks darn good with a black nato with polished buckles.

Honestly, I would wear this watch more often as an occasional daily wearer if it were not for the fact that my daily wearer in an automatic and if I don’t wear that thing for two days I have to reset the time, which I don’t like doing. Aside from the low profile, weight, comfort, water resistance, etc. the thing that I truly love about this watch is how easy it is to very quickly read the time with a quick glance. When I’m on my bike or exercising or doing various things I often want to check the time, but can’t sit there staring at my watch. I want to get a 0.1 second glance and be able to read the time. I can do that with this watch.

When I bought this watch five years ago it was $25. Today it’s $42. If I lost this watch today I would absolutely pay $42 to replace it.
