 Love this watch! Apr 29, 2011
By W. Dart
I have 5 watches. From a Seiko self-wind to a WWVB controlled watch to a Timex Iron-Man. This is by far the best watch I have ever owned. Why? I cannot hear the wheezy anemic alarms on today's watches. This watch has a vibration mode selection that works every time. It has three alarms and a "occasion" alarm to keep track of long-term reminders. I use all three alarms to remind me of appointments. The only downside is you cannot set any alarm to a specific day of the week. Weekdays, weekends and future dates are all that is available. The "occasion" alarm initiates at 8am on the day set, so that doesn't do much good if you want Thursday at 2pm for example. I get around this by setting an alarm sometime the day before, or just ignore the alarm on undesired days. The watch also has a "snooze" feature. After the alarm stops, if you don't turn it off, it will remind you again in 5 minutes.
This watch also has another great feature. You can "hide" unused functions. The individual alarms, occasion, hydration, chrono and timer can be hidden so you don't have to cycle through them all when setting the watch. A lot of thought went into this watch.
The big plus is the timekeeping accuracy. It is well within 1 second per week. My Iron-Man is 1 second per day. The WWVB watch has unreliable lockup. The second time zone can be set to view 24 hour time which I use for GMT, leaving the local display on 12 hour.
The first thing I did was change the heavy, irritating, hot rubber buckle band to a metal band for convenience. The unmovable N-E-S-W bezel is rinky-dink but I ignore it. The watch has a nice Titanium color.

Useless instructions but good watch Sep 01, 2011
By Joe B
"Joe B"
Update - OK, Timex e-mailed me instructions for setting the vibration alarm, because the instructions they send with the watch don't say a word about how to set the vibration alarm. Since the alarm was the only reason I ordered this watch, I was rather miffed and spent a ton of time looking for it. No phone number on the instructions either, and nothing on their website about the vibration alarm (at least nothing I could find). I did find a general customer service e-mail address, so I tried it and got a pretty quick response (less than a day). Setting the vibration alarm is not intuitive, you have to access it through the "set time" function - go figure. The quick response indicates to me they have to answer that question a LOT. Now if I could just get back the 2 - 3 hours I spent trying to find non-existent information...

nice watch but doesn't always vibrate without tweaking May 03, 2011
By Marty
This is a very comfortable and large watch. I like large watches, so this is a plus. The display is very readable! The crystal is slightly recessed for protection which is another plus. Oh, and I like how the extraneous functions (like hydration alarm and occasions) can be hidden so that they are in the background. It's also nice that I can have 3 time zones on my wrist-1 for local time and 2 others of your choice.
Something that's really nice and adds to making the watch comfortable and getting compliments is the band. Timex took the nice black rubber watch band from their Iron Man watches and put it on this Expedition watch! The first time I saw this band on a Timex I didn't think it looked as nice as a steel band, so I bought an Iron Man with a steel band that I still have. I put that on one wrist and this watch on the other and this one is definitely more comfortable. The rubber molds to every bend of your wrist. Just use a little Armor All original rubber car cleaner and protectant to make the rubber softer.
Now for the cons...the hourly chime doesn't vibrate out of the box. This is why I wanted a vibration watch. I work in a loud environment and cannot always here the hourly chime. But there is a way to work around this. First set the watch to combo vibrate and audio. Then set the watch to chime. On the countdown timer set it to countdown repeatedly to 30 min. Then at the top of the hour right after you hear a chime, start the countdown. Now leave the timer running all the time and you have a watch that chimes and vibrates on the hour and then vibrates on the half hour. Just take it off at night and keep it in a different room so you don't hear it and then put it on in the morning.
The other con is that when the watch is set to combo vibrate and audio that it cannot do both simultaneously. It beeps twice and then this is followed by five vibration and light flickers.

Vibrating Alarms Apr 01, 2012
By G. D. Haug
I realize it is April 1st (April Fool's Day), but my review is not a joke or prank. I'm in my early 60s, a grandmother, and still work full time.
I guess when you hit your 60s you can lose some of your hearing. I can no longer hear my watch alarm which is very frustrating. Everyone else can, but not me! So, I went looking for a watch with a vibrating alarm and what better place to look, then at Amazon. I was hoping to find a woman's watch with this feature, but all I could find were men's watches. I read the reviews on this watch and thought I would give it a try.
Vibrating Alarm - The reviews said it was hard to find where to set the vibrating alarm. I was prepared for the worse, but I had no problem. You have the cholce of three alarm styles: Chime only, Vibrate only, or Both. I use vibrate only. Think about it. With vibrate only, you no longer disturb anyone else when your alarm goes off. There are three alarm sets. I use two of the three alarms daily, and the third one when I need it. I haven't used it yet to wake me up. I need to try that, but if I miss it the first time, it is programmed to doze for 5 minutes and go off again.
Watchface - The watchface is large for a woman's wrist (duh - It is a man's watch), but I can read the face WITHOUT my glasses. I also very much like the indeglo feature. Instead of lighting the entire face of the watch from the top, it is backlit so the time and date figures light up. Much, much easier to read.
Strap - I don't know of what the strap is made. It probably has rubber in it. It is molded, black, flexible, totally water resistant, and TOTALLY manly, but I am getting use to it. One feature of the strap that I really like is that two little squares of the molded design at the end are raised. They fit into an opening in the strap guard. The strap guard will not slip and holds the end of the strap securely close to your wrist. It doesn't catch on anything, which is really great no matter what your wrist size.
Rating - Ok. I was going to give it 4 stars, because it is a large man's watch on a woman's wrist. But, after re-reading my review I changed it to 5 STARS. Other than the size, I love it and it's vibrating alarms and would recommend the watch to anyone.

Timex Vibration Alarm Watch Dec 02, 2011
By Richard L. Tom
Two things that I was looking for in this watch: Vibration Alarm and Accuracy. Couldn't be happier with both. I go to casinos fairly often and trying to meet others at a certain time while depending on either a watch's alarm or cell phone's alarm and/or vibration just didn't do it. You just can't hear it over the noise and the phone is usually in a pocket and the vibration is not felt. This watches vibration (and sound) is on the wrist so it works just fine. There are 3 alarms and all work real well for my purposes. The accuracy can't be beat either. I'm a "time freak" and this watch has to be accurate to the second hourly or daily whenever I can check it with a known source. This watch runs about 1 second fast every 3 1/2 days. Only complaints that I have (but I knew of this before I bought it) are that the face is a bit large for my wrist. I'm 5' 4" and probably have a medium size wrist. It's not extremely large and with a large face, it does mean that the time can be read more easily. Also I read about the crystal not being rated the "hardest" meaning that it may scratch easily. Not taking a chance, the first thing I did was to spend $5 and put a plastic cover over it from "Ghost Armor". It's much the same protection as if you protected your "smartphones, or iPads from scratches. Also have not had a problem with the battery as others have written about nor do I expect to go diving, swimming or take a shower with my watch on so I cannot comment on whether it leaks or not and have not had any condensation issues. I do workout 3 times a week with it on and have gotten it wet though normal hand and dish washing.
