Looks like Timex is finally paying attention to the market. Green with a beige strap might be a good combo.

A few years ago I would have been shocked to see a sapphire solar timex. Nice to see.

When I was a young lad my first watch was a Timex. It is nice to see the company put out some more innovative styles. 🍷

Just ordered this watch based on watching this video twice. Can't wait to get it.

I have a dozen field watches (retired military) but this is the most expensive one that I've bought. During my service, watches were a necessary tool, but they got ruined pretty often in real world use. This should last forever in my easy civilian life.

Again, thanks for this review.

Timex have really stepped up on the last few years, especially with this series. Good on them! 👏

Thanks for the review, I'm looking to buy this type since it's outdoor watch and I'm not really into something like G-Shock or any big rugged watch. Solar movemt, 10bar WR, screwdown crown, saphire crystal, nice luminous, just perfect.

Thanks for the video so close to Christmas!

For removing stickers I find a small amount of Zippo Lighter Fluid is best - on a bit of tissue paper

Thanks for covering this one Aron, Timex are coming out with some really good stuff at the moment, cheers 👍

citric acid leaves discoloration yes, I use it to etch the knife edges of some of the knives in my collection.

Thanks for the 2 reviews, I've had my eye on this one and the Expedition Sierra 40mm green one also. If they start making some new colorways in 36mm (just black is offered for now) that would be the sweet spot for me. Knowing Timex they likely will come out with them in the new few years. Plus give it a few months and I'd wager Timex will allow discounts on this line with their frequent sales.

This model likely uses the Epson AS32 movement, the dimensions of the watch and the 4 month cell reserve sure do point to it (Timex uses some of their movements in other watches, the Q series is an example). And as for why no Indiglo: it would be nearly impossible to use a solar cell under an electroluminescent dial. EL dials are opaque, that's a no-no for a solar watch.

I want one of these. I have a 7.48” wrist so the 41mm version should look appropriate.
I got my first watch at 10 years old. It’s was a Timex. Although I have some higher end watches now, I’ve always been a fan of Timex.
I’m looking forward to getting one of these.

Thanks for the review. Just wanted to point out that the reason why the second hand isnt hitting the indices at some points is because it was probably put on by a human and not a robot. If youre off by even by even 1/100th then second hand isn't always going to hit the the indices. Sorry if my grammar is bad, English is my second language :-)

[redbarchetta]

Great review. Just picked up the blue face solar version. Really a nice solid watch.

[IlluminatingWatches]

I really like this watch. The series is great.

[RobertNES]

A Timex I'd actually want to own. This looks like a really nice watch.

[gibbleway]

I want to see more bold traditional color styling also different bands with this one.

[marion_roberts]

Thanks for letting us see the second hand movement. I see even with this one, it doesn't line up on the upper left quadrant of the dial. I wonder how loud the ticker is.

[alexpaterson]

the second hand is missing alot of marks for that price range.

As a first time user it would have been useful to see how you set the time and the date. Thanks!
