My last one of this model died after at least 10 years, I am thinking 15 years. I used this watch for my employment of outside work, working on car or my home. Wore out two wrist bands. It was in rain, snow, dust and mud. You can count on it for a long time of hard use. It lasted longer than my marriage. Just got my new one delivered about an hour ago. Thin is the full manual was missing and I used this video to remind me how to make some settings. And yes the "chime" marks the new hour as I recall. Never used chime function.
For anyone that just found this video. This watch is my GOTO work watch. Excellent value. Works great. The Only thing to be cognizant about is; when changing the battery. Be gentle removing that shield properly OR the backlight will stop working. GREAT watch. Love it.
I just purchased one verl similar to yours at a thrift shop for one dollar. I put in a new battery and now it works. Thanks for the operation tutorial.
I LOVE Timex watches! John Cameron Swayze did not lie--best watch! I have been wearing the Expeditions for decades. The night light will quit, but the watch will not.and at their price, I have several of them. Change time zones? Change the watch and not the time! Fun! John would be proud! Hn
I've had a timex ironmman for 10 years and still ticking along. Only gripe I have is the bands don't last very long. You can get factory replacements for around $12, but I went with a NATO style nylon strap. It's held up much longer.
Only video that helped me turn off the alarms on my dads watch lol he was so annoyed of his watch going off and I literally had to look up this UA-cam video to figure it out so thanks 😂
I really liked the demonstration of full-on night mode. I only wish it were a bit longer, so I could see how many seconds the indigo light stays on. If you were trying to take a pulse reading in the dark, being able to see your watch uninterrupted for 15 seconds would be important. That, and/or a 15 second countdown timer. Thank you for such a good video.
The water resistance rating on watches is always without pressing any buttons or manipulating the crown under water. The seals are only designed to withstand the water when left alone.
I loved my watch I have 2 of the same model. Unfortunately one of them died so I purchased another, It got into an incident with a campfire and it melted the clear peice that covers the front but the actual watch part was fine so I switched them around and its been going strong for 2 years
I saw your video recently and it helped me to learn how to use my time expedition although not the same model if very similar now I know everything about this digital timex THANK YOU VERY MUCH FRIEND
Great watch. In some ways better than the Ironman. Not as thick, easier to push buttons.The Ironman has mineral crystal and it's 200m wr whereas this one has plastic and is 100m.
Have you been having issues with the compass? I just bought one today and the compass sometimes reads correctly and sometimes it doesn't. That was the big selling point for me because I'll be using it for work. Am I the only one with this issue?

Super tough watch. 1st battery lasted 5 years. It's been in 14 time zones.
This particular line has the most legible displays

you can hold down the button and it will stay on till you hold it again
I can't believe that you helped me to turn my alarm off and you found it accidentally . LOL
Thanks for checking out my video! Glad I could be of help!
No problem.

Thank you for this .I set my time and my date and year but the day comes up wrong. Don't know what to do.
Timex has always been a reliable watch for me. I’m not into making a fashion statement
Thanks for the wrist shot. I'm looking for an inexpensive travel watch. Is the alarm loud enough to wake you up?
Nice demo. Thanks. I might have to get one of these for casual wear. I like the display.
Thanks for this I'm watching this in 2022 because it for got it for my birthday and didn't know everything on it.
How did you change the day of week?
Wow! Thank you so much! Was able to set my uncle's watch! He won't be late now 😂😉
I saw your video recently and it helped me to learn how to use my time expedition although not the same model if very similar now I know everything about this digital timex THANK YOU VERY MUCH FRIEND
Do you set time 2 to GMT / ZULU.
Thanx. Just got one and managed to set it initially, but tossed the instructions and the country changed the time. I'll be back come EDT
You can push buttons under water it will be fine just if you play with it under water after a while it will break
Great watch. In some ways better than the Ironman. Not as thick, easier to push buttons.The Ironman has mineral crystal and it's 200m wr whereas this one has plastic and is 100m.
There is an expedition model that is 200 metre water resistant and has a mineral crystal.
When I hold down set it always brings up the lap time.. any idea why?
Thank you! Mine did not come with a manual and this video was great
Glad it helped!
Very nice watch.
Timex digital watches are great. Indiglo is beautiful.
Have you been having issues with the compass? I just bought one today and the compass sometimes reads correctly and sometimes it doesn't. That was the big selling point for me because I'll be using it for work. Am I the only one with this issue?
get it as level as u can then tap it. it'll swing around.
What do you mean you'll be using it for work? What's your job?

Thank you! Same watch here in manila..i using this for my excercise...

We really needed to know that!
how do I get the timer to shut off?
Press the stop button and hold the button to reset.
Press "set". Have it back to 0:00 by pressing "mode" to say "hide". Then press "stop/reset" and "start".
very helpful! thanks
