Timex Mens Expedition Digital Chrono Alarm Timer Polyurethane Strap Watch T45961




Keep your spelunking adventure or mountain bike excursion accurately timed with the full-sized Timex Expedition digital watch (model T45961), which also features a small bubble compass on the Velcro Fast Wrap strap to help guide you home. It features a chronograph with lap/split time display, a large all-day white reflector display, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)–suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best watch I have ever owned
This is the best watch I have ever owned. I am in the Army, and it has all the functions that I need. It’s very comfortable and easy to use.

5 Stars Timex Expedition
This is the best Timex watch that I have owned, and I’ve had several. The watch and band are comfortable, and I really like the fast-wrap velcro band. The watch display is crystal clear, large and readable.

5 Stars timex watch
Solid as usual from Timex. Since I work as a contractor, I like the recessed bezel which delays the inevitable scratches that happen. I also like the location and size of the night light button. Good job Timex. I did cut off the tiny compass; it was not accurate and stuck out too far.

5 Stars Timex Men’s Expedition Digital Chrono Alarm Timer Watch #T45961
This watch was everything that I expected, Timex quality and performance.

The nylon arm strap in my point of view is much better than the plastic ones. The compass was a nice feature but fell off after a couple of days.

Would buy another if and when this one wears out.

5 Stars great watch
I bought this a gift for my son. He does not like to wear watches but he has loved this one.

It features a durable silver and lavender resin case, large buttons for easy access to timing functions, and a comfortable Velcro Fast Wrap strap. It also offers water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), three alarms (with 5-minute backup), and three time zones. Other features include a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times, an occasion mode to set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and appointments, and all-day white reflector display.

This watch incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward “flick” of the wrist with a sharp “stop” will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

4 Stars Kept trying to get away… and then succeeded.
I had this watch for about a year, and it worked great. The only problem was the velcro strap. It was unwieldy to use, and then even worse when I lost the plastic fastener it tucks under. Over time the velcro became less sticky, and the strap kept coming apart. I temporarily lost the watch on multiple occasions, since it slid off my wrist when the velcro came undone. Finally, I was at a beach with some waves, and it floated away for good after one wave hit my arm. I am tempted to buy another, because I really liked the watch, but will probably get one with a clasp strap.

3 Stars Hate the wristband, like the watch
This watch would be perfect if it weren’t for the band. I asked for this for a birthday gift from my parents, thinking that the band was a fabric type, velcro, all the way around. I hate plastic bands because they sweat and hurt my wrists. WEll, this is fabric only half of the way around, the other half is plastic on the inside. And to make it worse, the top portion where the band loops through rubs terribly on the wrist bone. It looks nice but sits too high on the wrist unless you overtighten it. BUt it doesn’t fit right at all. Rather than send it back, which is what I should’ve done, I tried to alter the band since you can’t replace it. It is connected to the watch itself on the bottom. Well, that didn’t work out too well. So I either will attach it to my shoe or just have to get another watch. I am so disappointed with this. The watch itself is great but I wonder, did Timex even try this on woman’s wrists? This thing is so uncomfortable. Just FYI, I have medium size women’s wrist. Not tiny and not large so this should have fit if this was made right. THis is the most uncomfortable watch I have ever tried to wear. The watch itself has great features and works great. That’s the only reason I gave it 3 stars.

5 Stars workout time keeper
I purchased this watch as a gift for my wife to time her workouts. She loves it. when it time to workout the watch completes the outfit.

5 Stars Just what I wanted!
This watch is perfect! It is easy to read, has a great backlight, and lots of functions. I have just started an exercise program, so the chrono comes in very handy. And it has 3 alarms, and a function that reminds you of important events. The band is what sold me though. It is velcro, so it’s easy on/off, and completely washable. I am not much of a watch wearer, but this one is hard to take off!

4 Stars great value for price
This watch is just what I was looking for. I am a beginner runner and didn’t need to spend a ton on a watch to track my run time.
