Review: Delivery
Review: Nice watch - I chose this Timex Expedition after days of searching for an under $ 100. sturdy casual-style watch. I initially did not want a fixed bezel with numbers on it as it seemed like useless decoration. I looked for a rotating bezel but found none. I couldn't get this Expedition out of my mind though. The face has a charming effect on me. Days later, I went back to it and gave it serious consideration. Its numbers and compass letters on the bezel are muted and not outstanding. I now accept that. It seems to be a fine watch. I am currently testing its accuracy. I read of some quartz watches sounding too loud. (none of my others were) This one isn't heard until you put it to your ear. I DO have a large problem with the seller though. The watch's box came mauled and taped up. There was no instruction paper, and the delivery envelope itself was delivered open. How do I know if this watch is someone else's send-back? I was very close to sending it back for those reasons. I have never been sent mauled goods before. If, in a few weeks the watch is still doing ok I will keep it. I will up-date this post. Update - I set the watch to an online time setting site. After fourteen days, it showed a negative seven second gap. That would equal around a fourteen second gap per month. I have read that a plus or minus twenty second gap is considerd good. SO, I am happy with that. As for the rest of the watch, I bought a few dark nylon quick change bands, and if your manly wrist isn't too skinny I recommend it over the competition. But maybe from a seller you trust.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the indeglo light stay on all of the time?  so that you always see in the shade, twilight, or the bedroom at night? i just don't want my son to !**
A: No, the light comes on with a press of the right hand button. The hands glow a little, so that you can often tell the time with out using the light.

**Q: Can the back of this watch be engraved?**
A: Probably could, but cost would be more than watch is worth. Too bad they don't offer a metal band, leather is difficult to fit on wrist.

**Q: Does strap slide off**
A: No. Its a standard 2 piece 18mm strap. I fitted a 19mm nato strap on mine and it looks much better.

**Q: Does the dial turn twist?**
A: I just ordered this watch and it will arrive today. I have the old black model, but the date got screwed up as it was mounted to the handlebars of my scooter for a few years. On mine the bezel moves counter clockwise, but not clockwise.
