Timex Unisex T49660 Expedition Classic Digital Chronograph Fast Wrap Watch

I've been a fan of sports watches for more than 10 years but prefer fabric watch bands/straps, as opposed to rubber straps/bands. This is the best watch of its kind by far. It's not my first Timex but they have improved the features. The best new (at least to me) feature is the Indiglo button being in addition to the usual 4 buttons to change mode, set, etc. As with prior Timex watches of this type, it has 2 time settings--great for travelers or just daylight savings time changes. I especially like that it has 3 separate alarm settings and each can be set for daily, weekdays, or weekends. With the addition of the Indiglo button, setting time and alarms is simplifed and quick because there's plus/minus buttons, as opposed to having to roll around to get an earlier hour/time. This is a great watch and a good value for the price. I am still waiting for my free baseball cap which was supposed to be part of the deal.

This is a nice watch and the velcro strap works great for kids. I've had two of this model now, and the Indiglo light has gone out both times (tried a new battery but that wasn't the problem). I'll get another one because it is still a nice size with great features.

Keep your receipt so you can exchange it or send in for warranty repair if your Indiglo light goes out (one year warranty - seven bucks shipping through Timex). Mine lasted 1 month on the first watch and 4 months on the second. I have a different model Timex with Indiglo that still works fine after 4 yrs.

I'm a guy but I don't like those large, cumbersome watches for men, so I decided to buy an Expedition/Unisex at Target. I couldn't find the Unisex model so I tried the Expedition. Except for the colors, it's the same exact watch. So if you can't find the Unisex model, get the women's Expedition, nobody will know the difference.

So far it's been excellent and I expect it to be very durable because my old Timex Triathlon lasted approximately 15 years, maybe even longer. I changed the battery twice during it's lifetime, isn't that incredible.

Anyway, back to the Unisex/Expedition.

1. The wristband isn't fancy but it's very light and comfortable.

2. I like the design and small size of this watch, for me it's perfect. The numbers are easy to read and it isn't large and uncomfortable like most men's models. I want a watch, not a clock on my wrist.

3. Figuring out how to set the date and time was somewhat tricky, but once...Read more
