Men's Expedition North Field Post Solar 41mm Watch

Waited 2.5 years before reviewing. I love the gunmetal grey case, olive dial, and the exceptional sapphire crystal. The watch is still running great. During cold weather when wearing long sleeves, I make sure I charge the watch monthly by placing it under a table lamp for many hours because it died once due to no daylight charging. One problem is being able to see the minute markings. (The same watch with blue dial is much easier to read.) I also replaced the military-style band immediately with the excellent Archer 20mm Olive band (ARC-QRN-OLV20) and Archer 20mm Matte Gunmetal buckle ( ARC-BKL-GRYM20). I am only allowed to review once for this Timex model, so adding comments about the "Blue" version (TW2V03600JR). The blue version is the same watch but easier to view. It looks GREAT with the Archer 20mm Navy Blue band (ARC-QRN-NVY20).

Useful watch. A bit heavy. If you keep it in the light when not wearing it, it will stay charged. Luminous hour marks and watch hands a bit small/thin and hence a bit hard to see, but you can see if you look closely. Very rugged - good for outdoor work, travel, camping, paddling etc. All it does is keep time.

I wear a watch everyday, I rarely take it off other than to shower. I can be a bit rough with my watch as I'm always working with my hands and bumping it off if things. I have used multiple watches over the years (all solar or mechanical), this is by far my favorite for ruggedness and still being fairly sleek. Really good watch and would recommend if you are a daily watch wearing person who can be rough on your gear. The watch did take 3 days to charge before it started working.

A nice looking, none flashy field watch. At 41mm it’s not too big and not too small. The sapphire crystal is a big plus on scratch resistance; and the screw in crown is a nice addition as well. If you’re looking for a low key, reliable solar powered field watch that is both comfortable, affordable and has durability built into it, this one will be hard to beat.

I immediately regretted buying this watch; I wore it for one day only, and I'm pretty sure I'll only ever wear it again if I have no other functional watch on hand. I mean, it works, it tells the time, but the band is pretty awful, the face is ugly, it's too large and bulky overall, and the numbers on the face are virtually unreadable. I'm very sorry I threw away the packaging before I realized how detestable this thing actually is.

The watch defines functionality. Subtle, just the right size, it has a thick leather band that looks to survive significant "wear and tear" opportunities. A NATO band will function well here, too. It is solar powered. Frankly, this is a big reason why I purchased it. Every time a watch gets opened for a battery change is another opportunity for failure. The luminescence is very good to excellent. I need this feature, and am so happy for the attention paid to this feature. It's simplicity allows me to wear this casually and professionally.

Watch works great, looks nice and should never need batteries. The glow features don’t last long even after being in direct sunlight for hours, though it hasn’t been an issue for me. Only major complaint is the machined battery cover and knob can collect grime. Leather straps are meh but easy and cheap to replace with something much better when they do break.

So the reviews were mixed that I read before ordering. However, the watch has kept accurate time. I synchronized the watch to my cell phone and checked regularly. In the past seven days, the solar watch has maintained accurate time to the minute. Overall, great product. Looking forward to the solar charging feature. Timex's web page and online directions led to a 404 error. So not a good image for Timex.

Great solar watch!

Hasta el momento contento y satisfecho, cuando llegó de plano no se movía quisa tenía mucho tiempo almacenado, pero fue cuestión de dejarlo al sol la verdad no supe cuánto tiempo y con eso y hasta el momento ahí anda al cien. Mi única duda es que creo la cajita dónde me llegó no es de este modelo (y no traía manual de usuario) pero pues son detalles mínimos, en lo personal mientras el reloj funcione como debe de ser, lo demás es lo de menos

Apesar do relógio ser realmente muito bonito, infelizmente ele atrasa diversos minutos por dia. E um relógio que não marca corretamente as horas, não serve para nada. Talvez a bateria da minha unidade esteja ruim e não segure a carga adequadamente, pois ele perde a precisão durante a noite quando a capacidade de armazenamento solar fica prejudicada. Mas de acordo com o manual do produto esta bateria deveria reter carga para funcionamento precio por 2 meses. Estou devolvendo a unidade e solicitando o reembolso. UPDATE: Resolvi dar uma outra oportunidade ao relógio e fui buscar na internet informações sobre a qualidade do mesmo. Entrei no site da Timex e baixei o manual do do relógio (é, não existe nenhuma informação na caixa do produto) e verifiquei que o relógio precisa ser carregado inicialmente até que ele fique com a carga total, o que leva 5h com céu limpo, 20h com céu nublado ou 60h com lâmpada incandescente. Após isso ele deve funcionar por 2 meses, sem qualquer recarga. Bem, e como saber se ele atingiu a carga total? Esta informação consegui em outro blog, onde fiquei sabendo que se o ponteiro de segundos der saltos de 2 em 2 segundos, a bateria precisa ser carregada. Deixei o relógio um dia inteiro virado para a janela. Assim ele alcançou carga plena. Então o seguinte: sim, o relógio é bonito e preciso, mas vem com a bateria completamente morta e precisa ser carregado. E o fato dele começar a funcionar, não significa que ele está marcando corretamente as horas. É preciso prestar atenção aos saltos dos ponteiros. IMPORTANTE: Se esta for uma opção para dar de presente, lembre-se ou de passar essas dicas ou carregar o relógio antes de presentear.

Estou a gostar muito de usar este relógio

Delivery was on the time. Unfortunately the expectation was higher than what we had in the end. Timex is a one of the good brand but the quality of our one was not enough. (The second arrow running 3 steps forward and after 2 back “reverse“) However wish you all the best. I order Casio duro now, for the summer season.
