TimexMen's Expedition Gallatin 45mm Watch

Initial impressions: This is a great watch at a very reasonable price point. I believe I paid $40. Watch is extremely lightweight however seems durable. Easy to set the date/time. Comfortable to wear, I don’t even notice I’m wearing a watch most the time.Will update at a later point once I have more time with it.

Over the years I've bought many watches, some expensive and some cheap. You can't beat Timex's quality for the price. This watch is sporty and looks expensive. It is big but not chunky. It's also lightweight. The band is strong and easy to clean. One of my other favorite timex watch has a leather band, that when I sweat at work, the leather band absorbs and it smells bad. This is not going to be an issue with the silicone band. I am so happy with this watch, I would buy another one.

I like this watch more than I thought I would. I initially bought it to be a work beater, but decided that it would be best suited as a practical, all-purpose weekender. A go-to watch for errands and outdoor activities without flash or pretense.Yes, it's plastic, but it's not plasticky. It's easy to read without being loud. Being solar powered makes it practical from a maintenance perspective. The only downside there is that apparently solar power and the Indiglo backlight are mutually exclusive, and the lume is sparse and ineffective , as other reviewers have mentioned.This watch is available with several strap options, mine being the black corduroy type NATO strap. While comfortable enough, the buckle holes started to deform quickly, which doesn't bode well for it's longevity. This watch deserves a better strap anyway, and should look good with any number of sport style straps available online.

It’s not the flashiest working man’s watch, but it’s a solid choice. It’s comfortable, tells time accurately, takes abuse and still works and looks good, and the solar-powered feature is kinda cool.The case is a composite material and resists damage to both the finish and crystal. To add, the crystal is inset enough into the bezel that edge chipping and scratches aren’t much of a concern. It’s a tad thick overall, but that doesn’t bother me. It can catch on stuff when reaching into tight spaces. Once in a while the crown will kick out stopping timekeeping, but that is rare.The OEM single piece strap isn’t the greatest but it’s sturdy and comfortable, though the metal loops and buckle will get paint dings exposing the metal underneath. More importantly, it cleans up and dries quickly. I get messy throughout the day, so that is a plus.It’s very lightweight, which for me took some getting used to, but I have no serious complaints.If you need a rugged watch, check this one out. I hope it lasts for years.

JUNK, Timex watches have gone the way of junk. This time piece will not keep correct time or date. 60 days old and timex says submit to a representative repair to have it looked at. I tossed it in the lake where it belongs. I have purchased several timex watches and I will not make that bad mistake again. If your thinking of purchasing this manufacturers product, run, run as fast to another product as you can. Heck my Invicta watch was cheaper and is a workhorse.Shame on you timex for not swapping this out.You lost this lifetime customer, hopefully I can steer more customers away from your poor product.Never againNever again

Admittedly, I'm a watch snob. My daily driver is a Tag Heuer Aquaracer. This Timex was a purchase while my regular watch is in the shop. I'm impressed re: size and value. Obviously, it's much, much lighter than my all-metal Tag. Fresh out of the box and traveling with this Timex over the next week. So far, it fits the bill just right! Solar is awesome... no winding!

Good, attractive watch. The only flaw is that the date is changed by turning the dial without unlocking it; rubbing it with your wrist changes the date.

This is a good, basic, accurate watch. Yes, it has a plastic body; the bezel does not rotate; and the lume, such as it is, is not very good. However, it is lightweight, classy looking, keeps excellent time, and-so far- has been water resistant and very comfortable to wear. On my watch, the Velcro strap was difficult to get on and off and I changed it out to a 22 mm NATO strap. That it is solar powered, nice looking, easy to read, and reliable makes it an excellent value.
