Timex Men's T45951 Expedition Premium Collection Chrono Alarm Watch

After years of keeping track of time using a number of timex cheapo digital watches, i started a search for a nicer analog watch. one of the benefits of digital watches is their features; lighting and alarm being among them. Its difficult finding an analog watch with those features.

One of the negatives of timex watches is their lack of identification. i have recently collected 6 timex analog watches, none of which has any markings as to model number. The model under discussion is T45951. The only ID markings on my watch is "922 PP." Go figure.

This watch comes with an instruction sheet that was printed for a previously available model upon which this model is based. This model, I believe no longer available, is heavier with a rounded crystal, an integral metal band and identical features. The current model has a larger face and is easier to read. It would have been appropriate for Timex to print an instruction sheet specifically for the current model...Read more

I came across this watch while looking for a casual brown leather band watch. I orginally was looking at the Tissot, forget which model, and came across this one. This Timex looks very, very similar to the Tissot, but without the $400 price tag. I decide for the price of the Timex, there is little to lose. I have been very happy with my decision. The functions are very easy to use and the watch has some weight to it. But most of all, I love the look. I have just began collecting watches and for one of the cheapest costing watches that I have, I find myself wearing this one more than the others. I highly recommend it.

I bought this watch because of the way it looks. I was going to buy the Timex Expedition T47902, another Expedition, about the same price, most notably the alarm is set by the face dial. That watch would have been cool, but in a world of a billion watch styles, appearance is everything. I like digitals, but they just come off Geeky with any kind of clothing, IMO.

1. The watch isn't white as shown in the picture. The face is ivory colored, and the hands are luminescent. No, they don't glow as well as the old radium watches, but you won't give you cancer either. IMO, gives the watch more character, and the dial is more legible than I expected.

2. The watch is thicker than I expected, mainly when you view it on end with one of the straps facing you. Less of a problem than I thought at first. It doesn't look thick from the crown side, and wearing the watch, no one, including you, views it from the side, maybe an ant crawling on your wrist band. Smash him...Read more
