Men's Expedition Gallatin Solar-Powered Watch

I love this watch. It looks great and the strap is comfortable for smaller wrists. It is easy to read. The crystal is durable and stands up nicely to normal daily wear. The body is made from plastic and it is very durable and lightweight. No need for remove it at airport security. Keeps perfect time, as well. The added benefit of solar power will let it run for 3 months by itself. It charges from any available light source as it is being worn It’s almost impossible to run down. The only minor thing is the bezel doesn’t rotate. Normally, the bezel is used to measure elapsed time from a particular point. It’s purely cosmetic in this instance. The strap may be too small for large wrists. Overall, I am very happy with this watch for daily wear. The price was excellent and no battery replacement ever. This Timex is a keeper.

Excelente reloj, buen diseño y precisión

Wichtig zu wissen: ausschließlich die Zeiger sind nachleuchtend. Aber im Dunklen lassen sie sich schlecht unterscheiden. Sonst i.O.

Timex es una marca con una larga tradición. El reloj cumple con todas las expectativas generadas y para quienes ponderamos la marca es un gusto poder usarlo.

I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy
