Review on 🌲 Timex x Mossy Oak Expedition Digital Chrono Alarm Timer 33mm Watch: Ultimate Outdoor Timepiece by Jim Ledbetter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good basic women's digital watch

So this is a great watch for women with small to medium wrists. Here is my list of pros and cons: Pros: - Very easy to install. There are NO instructions in the leaflet. This is my first Timex Expedition watch so I had no experience with it. All you have to do is click Install and use the Start and Stop buttons to move up and down through the settings, respectively. Easy enough! - I like the simplicity of the watch. It's simple and easy to read. - It has a day of the week, a month and a date. I wanted to make sure that all watches I receive have these qualities. - The watch strap appears to be of good quality. It's cloth/nylon so should last a few years (we'll see I guess). - The Indiglo clock is beautiful and works great in the dark! Cons: - I have to tighten the strap as much as possible to keep the watch from dangling around my wrist. Maybe that's because I have a small wrist and the watch itself is a bit heavy in comparison. I'm new to wearing watches so maybe I just need to get used to it. - The display is perfect, but only when you look directly at it (when you look straight in the eye). If you look at the clock while typing on a computer, you can't see the time. It's too blurry. So the viewing angles are terrible. Time can only be seen by looking directly at it. Again, this can be an issue with all digital watches, but I expected more in today's technological world. This is probably my biggest minus and my biggest disappointment. - The strap holder is also nylon so I had trouble getting the extra strap into the strap holder. Now that I think about it more, I'm not sure what the best alternative to nylon strap is. If they glue the strap holder to the strap, it might not move as much when trying to fit the strap into the holder. However, after you deploy it, it seems to stay in place. It's good. But I see that in the future they will weaken and not work properly anymore. I've only had this watch since yesterday, so I haven't been able to test the water resistance yet. I'll update this review if I'm unhappy with the waterproofing. All in all, this is exactly what I was looking for: a simple digital watch that displays the day and date, with a strap small enough to fit my female wrist. However, I would have liked it better if the price was $10-$15 less than what I paid for it. UPDATE: I've since moved to a few other hours after these. I've come to the conclusion that I don't like a cloth/nylon strap and now prefer a rubber/plastic strap. A nylon watch strap takes too long to dry after a shower, while a plastic watch strap takes NO time to dry. There are many good plastic strap watches out there and I've tried some unknown brands at Revain. and I was happier with them than this Timex. They are also not that heavy and flexible on my wrist.
