Customer Reviews
I decided to buy this watch despite a couple of mediocre reviews on it. The watch feels very sturdy and is easy to read, on the Timex website it says it has a screw down crown, but upon examining the crown (it floats) presumably to let the indiglo night light work. I tried screwing in the crown and it appears it is not a screw down crown. The watch only cost $40 but feels much more expensive than it is. I am giving it 4 stars because of the couple of negative reviews I read about it. I figure if the watch is a lemon I will not have lost much money at all. I'll keep this review updated the longer I have the watch, right now I'm just getting a feel for it and am still seeing how it performs.
One of the things anyone should be conerned about this watch is when it is submerged the indiglo nightlight can easily be set off by the movement of the wrist. Timex says that pushing any buttons underwater could sacrifice the watches water resistance. I think this is what happened to the person who said their Timex diver failed after 5 dives. For diving definitely get a watch with a screw down crown as it is extra insurance from water flooding your watch.
I'm not a scuba diver, so I didn't buy this watch for that. I wanted a nice looking watch with a rotating bezel so I could time various things, like when I barbecue meat on the grill, or go for walks, or numerous other reasons. I don't really need a stop watch, just a minute timer reminder.
I recently bought two other Timex watches (from Amazon) that supposedly had rotating bezels, but neither would rotate... I returned them immediately to Amazon. The "rotating bezels" were just for "decoration" according to the Timex rep that I talked to on the phone. Too bad the Amazon sales blurb didn't say that!
I also like the "Indiglo" lighting feature of this watch, which I have on another Timex Expedition Alarm watch that has been working great for about 8 years. I actually used the rotating alarm bezel for timing purposes.
I wanted a little dressier of a watch, so I bought this Timex Expedition Diver watch, and also bought a replacement stainless steel metal bracelet band, and replaced the rubber strap band. I wanted a band that would last longer than the leather bands on my Timex alarm watch, which I replaced 3 times over the 8 years.
If this watch was offered with a stainless steel clasp bracelet band, I would've given it 5 stars.
It looks great, and much more expensive than it was !
I hope it lasts as long as my Timex Expedition alarm watch has !
