"While it looks like a casual watch, the full-sized Timex Men's T40051 Expedition Metal Field Brown Leather Strap Watch adds a stylish yet rugged complement to your everyday wear. It features a large, round silver-tone brass watch case with a flattened, brushed bezel that frames an olive green dial background with Arabic numerals, inset 24-hour notations, large, luminous stick hands (with seconds hand), and a date display at 3 o'clock. With the Quick Date function, you can set the date on the watch without turning the crown for every 24-hour period. Just pull the stem halfway out, and turn until desired date is reached. It also offers an 8-year battery life, water resistance to 165 feet (50 meters), and a durable genuine leather strap. The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer."

Excellent value!
For the money, this is an excellent watch. I particularly wanted it for the indiglo function as it clearly allows you to see the time in the dark, which is great when you need to get up early. It is simple and straight-forward in design, with a clear and uncluttered analogue display with only the date as additional information. If you want an uncomplicated, no-nonsense, good quality watch, I would thoroughly recommend this one.

Money aside - this is a great watch!
Money aside, this is a really nice watch. I have slim wrists and was concerned it would be too big but this isn't the case at all, helped by the fact the watch is slim and not too heavy (Not too light either!). The face and numbers are clear to see in mixed light situations and in the dark the illumination works really well. The strap has a night soft feel to it and isn't glossy with a nice "E" logo on the clasp. These watches don't attempt to promote themselves as premium, but it doesn't look or feel cheap at all. The watch does have a more audible tick than my other analog watches but this doesn't bother me. The only thing I didn't think was great was setting the date, you have to adjust the time 24 hours to change each day but this should only be a one off chore with the efforts on 30/28 day months not taking as long. I'm really happy with this purchase and the watch will be well worn.

Watch for daily use
A solid, reliable watch for everyday use. The metal strap is sturdy and comfortable, and the Indiglo backlight is super handy. It’s accurate and durable but has a simple design. Adjusting the strap can be tricky. Great value for those who prefer practicality!

Great Watch!
Great watch! I love the Timex brand, and this design is very nice. Easy to read numbers with Indiglo for seeing the dial in the dark. Tough case and bezel. The strap fits my wrist with a few notches to spare. Looks good and keeps accurate time!

Do not buy this watch
I have had two of these watches in recent months and have had to return both as the 'indiglo' feature failed. I also agree with comments about the 'tick' being very loud. Overall poor quality. Avoid.

Good watch, but beware!
I love the Timex Expedition watches. I have found them to keep excellent time and to be of very sturdy construction. The illuminating dial is also a fantasic feature and much more reliable than fluorescent markings painted onto the dial and hands. I have had a number of these watches over the last 10-15 years and they have survived a alot of abuse from working with stone etc. My main beef has been the cases which are sometimes plated with a metallic, often brown, finish . I bought such a watch previously as it was described as being made of stainless-steel, however over 2 to 3years and the rigors of active use and sweat, I was alarmed to see the back of the watch-case became corroded and pitted, eventually showing the base metal beneath. It was at this point it became apparent that the case was in fact plated-brass not steel. When they get to this stage they're pretty gross and unhygenic, so I was looking for a replacement.When I purchased this watch it was based on the photo showing a silver-coloured metal case and the description that assured me the case was constructed of stainless steel. When it arrived, you've guessed it, it was a brown-plated finish over what I'm fairly sure was a brass base. I packed it up and shipped it back immediately.Why does Timex continue to undermine a great product with an inferior metal case? More to the point why is the Amazon description, as found in my previous purchase, so inaccurate?In summary: a solid, reliable watch, but it is brown not silver, and made of brass, not stainless-steel. Please change this description to reflect these facts!

stylish
This was a quick fix to my hubby's broken watch, last minute buy, he loves it, still can't figure how much it was.I was apprehensive buying the watch 1st time buyer for amazon,, this is a real bargain, for fills the design & spec, glows green, looks elegant without, being too weighty, real leather strap, value for money, durable, an extremely male watch indeed. Modern without looking too simplistic, or too complicated.Love the packaging from the supplier, something so small in a huge box, glad it wasn't in a small envelope package. Delivery time, absolutely excellent.
