TimexMen's Expedition Scout Solar-Powered 40mm Watch

For the price, I feel like you can't go wrong with this watch. It wears comfortably, looks fairly stylish, the numbers are easy to read, it's solar powered, it glows in the dark, (there's no backlight though, just the glow from the luminescent material on the hands and numbers), and it's pretty quiet. The only downsides might be the lack of a backlight, and the fact that the hands don't perfectly line up with the numbers. Personally, it doesn't bother me too much and I would definitely recommend this watch.

This is a nice watch with weight that gives it a quality feel. The glow in the dark face leaves a little to be desired. But very nice for the price.

I really wanted to love this watch but it has one significant flaw.I was looking for a durable, simple, easy-to-read watch. This Timex checks all the boxes. I really like the solar charging - no need to worry about batteries for years. After charging it up under a lamp, it keeps time very well. The case is rugged, the lens is scratch-proof glass, and the face is fairly easy to read at a glance. The numbers glow in the dark for several hours.A couple of minor nit-picks: the date indicator is really small and hard to read, and the second hand is so thin it is almost invisible. But overall, I really like this watch.My one complaint is with the stem. At first it seems great - a little bit oversized, knurled, and with a groove around the middle. Easy to grasp and turn. But that's the problem - it gets caught on things, which pulls out the stem, stopping or resetting the watch. Putting my hand into a deep pocket or taking off a jacket with elastic cuffs occasionally (but unpredictably) results in stopping the watch or changing the time, which makes timekeeping unreliable. At first I thought it was a fluke, but after wearing the watch every day for a month, it has happened three times.

Fits well on my wrist. The diameter is a bit large for my liking, but an increasingly common/popular size. Clean look easy to read. No back light. Will try to follow up on solar functionality. Leather band is flat, not raised like some other bands/models.The above was about the leather band version. This part is about the cloth velcro band version. They are functionally identical. The cloth band version I have is the blue face with the blue band. I really like this band it feels very good on my arm, pretty much the same as the leather band, but it is far easier to put on and take off.

Fantastic watch! One suggestion for a future version: the date is hard to read. Why not eliminate the 3 and make the date larger. Otherwise, I LOVEy.new watch!!!

This watch functions as expected except that the second hand is slightly off. It’s only noticeable when I look for it and otherwise I can still tell the time easily and accurately. It’s also noticeably quieter than my other Timex Expedition (not solar). My biggest issue with it is that it’s extremely uncomfortable. The button bites into my wrist anytime I rotate my hand. If you’re wearing a jacket and want to be able to read your watch, the sleeve pushes it down, which causes the effect. That’s the best way I can describe it. None of my other watches do that. If you end up getting one you’ll see what I mean, but honestly I rarely wear it over my other watches now. If you’re looking for a decent everyday watch, keep looking.

Love this watch, but I wish it had a indigo light. Hands and digits glow after being in light. Two thumbs up still.

Only worked for a little over a month. Seemed great at first and wore it daily after letting it charge in direct sunlight for a day (it wouldn’t keep time right out of the box and needed some sun). Randomly stopped working about a month after buying and will not start back up no matter how long I let it charge in the sun.
