TimexMen's Expedition Gallatin 45mm Watch

Great watch for th price! Easy to use and looks tough! Can't beat solar power and water resistance.

I’m satisfied with the Timex Expedition Gallatin. The design is attractive, the watch feels durable, and it performs well—especially for its price. It’s a solid choice for those looking for a casual or outdoor style without spending too much. However, the downside was the packaging: the box arrived heavily damaged and with little to no protection. While the watch itself wasn’t harmed, this took away from the overall unboxing experience. Still, I would recommend the watch, hoping future shipments are handled with more care.

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.

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!

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

It's a good watch

Bought this as a cheap work watch, but I guess all the budget went into the solar technology.No date adjust feature, gotta crank the crown over and over to adjust the date. (Also no screw-down crown, but that's expected at this price)Fake diver bezel. Lol why? Cringe as heck. Should of just put a compass bezel on there instead tbh.Cheap plastic crystal, scratches and mars just by looking at it.Okay NATO strap. Falls apart quickly, but it's easily replaceable with a better quality one.Decent lume on the hands, but none on the hour markers even though it looks like there is.Looks cool.

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.
