[@kjgas6945]

Thank you brother appreciate it! I don’t know how long ago this was ! I just bought the blue one . For $40 in the US . I appreciate the video , and have a fantastic day, sir. PS, sorry I did not know this was two years ago.

[@MirrlyonTime]

No worries m8 thanks for watching!!

Very affordable and great looking watch. I’ve been thinking I need to get a Timex in for review myself.

[@MirrlyonTime]

You totally should they make some very nice watches for the money, and it’s Timex, great American brand!

[@Rfpepe7295]

Love your approach to making videos. Straightforward and honest! You got a new Sub!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Hey Robert! Thanks so much I appreciate that, learning and growing all the time. What’s your favorite watch?

[@Mr.DippsChad]

I got the plastic camper expedition scout 100WR. It’s fun and cool I wear it a lot when I’m home.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Timex is my fav brand! Doing a video today about that, and have you seen their new Swiss automatic? They are stepping up their game, and price when it comes to that one stay tuned!

[@CoastGord]

Appreciated review, cheers. Just a gonna order one 'cause of your vid. I gravitate toward field/tank watches. West Coast weather is SO punishing on, well, EVERYTHING. Toss in salt water - goodbye longevity. Juice is worth the squeeze, though. We can still golf in February. 😬

[@MirrlyonTime]

That’s awesome thanks Gord!

[@rockthewatch]

Timex makes some good little watches man. Almost to 1K subs bro. Keep Rocking those Watches dude🤘🏻

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thank you Matt, appreciate you checking a video out!

[@sweetland1001]

Great view... i have the timex Acadia is the same watch as the scout. Bruh it does have lum. You have to charge the face of the watch with a flashlight and then you will see in dark room plus the Indiglo.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yes I realize the watch has lume, but no point with the indiglo, plus the lume for lume standards is terrible. Thanks for watching m8!

[@RodgerDodger196]

I got the BLUE DIAL WITH-NO- MICROSCOPIC DATE ON LEATHER STRAP & 50m -it's a Beauty!!

[@randyhines3505]

YES, Timex Expedition rocks simple functional easy to read not to big 24hr face, dependable simplicity that works affordable!

[@Alwaysontime-dh1gz]

I’ve been thinking of buying a timed, many years I have had expensive luxury watches, however someone said by only looking at luxury brands you miss out on so many nice watches. I enjoyed your review and great the way you show the watch up close. Regards Nick, btw subscribed 😊

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thank you Nick! It’s nice that you are able to get luxury watches, I’m a “blue collar” worker so saving up for such pieces is very difficult, and esp as of late Timex has released some really awesome watches for the budget friendly market. Thanks for watching, the encouragement, and for subscribing, God bless m8!

I’ve subscribed to your channel now as well :)

[@clockworkbike]

Great review. I like the price point comparison with other field style watches.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thanks m8. My son now has this watch it’s fantastic for the price.

[@RebootADude]

Just picked up an Expedition because of this video. Glad I gave it a chance.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Wonderful to hear!!! I personally think it gives you the look of a Hamilton khaki at a fraction of the cost....Hamilton is something I would love to own one day, but the higher price point keeps me from pulling the trigger. What strap did you get? The nylon mine came on is ok, but not the greatest either

[@MirrlyonTime]

Video of it coming? Hope so!

[@NeilPower-t1d]

Looks great, do they make a solar version?

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yes they do, they make a solar expedition in a few different varieties, though a few of them are currently out of stock timex.ca/collections/expedition-solar-watches?

[@davidjohnson563]

I got a Scout from my girl for my bday about 8 months ago,then I went to Fiji for 6 months. I wore it everyday in an office setting and the watch was great fir four months. Then, the Indiglo light stopped working. Changed the battery and it still didnt work. Bummer,cuz I really needed that feature. And when I changed the battery, I noticed the back case around the edge of the back was eaten away! What the hell! Never saw anything like it: pitted and not just roughed up but the metal starting to eat away. Was it the insect repellent I was using for the Fiji mozzies?(mosquitoes) When I got back in the US, I called Timex and the guy I. got sent me info on how to rectify the situation(get a replacement). I read the info and I gotta go thru such a hassle sending it in,getting it approved…waiting forever,and in the end, I gotta PAY TIMEX for the hassle and shipping!!! Skru that! That Scout “looked” cool was totally sucked,in my experience. I’m getting another watch somewhere but it wont be a Scout and it wont be a Timex! x,D

[@MirrlyonTime]

That’s a real bummer, the low lead brass will definitely do that but shouldn’t only be after 4 months. That is a real hassle for sure! I wash whatever watch I’m wearing every day when done to get the oils and whatever else from my wrist and hands is on there, a must to do for the llb watches like Timex, thanks for the update

[@davidjohnson563]

@@MirrlyonTime thx for the feedback! Appreciate it. I figure if I have to worry about the metal dissolving with normal use, I’ll get a better made watch. Don’t have time to coddle a watch. Especially one named the Expedition Scout! (don’t know what expedition that scout is on…but he oughta be online,looking for a hardy watch😁

[@BuckRolly1]

Thanks Josue, link in description, you can get this for around 45-50 US I reckon

[@brucedeleon9505]

I got no problem with my Timex Expedition Scout 40. It’s really good. I collect middle range priced watches from $300 to $1200?or a bit more. But my $40 Expedition does it good. Even better in keeping time than some of my automatic

[@MirrlyonTime]

You got that right! Rock that Timex proudly they make a fantastic budget watch! Love em!

[@c.s2001]

You mean all of your Automatics. Quartz beats Automatics

[@williamebert6047]

I love the Timex Expedition chronograph and the MK1 40mm😉

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yes I got a Timex expedition chronograph from Joma shop, but it came broken :( it is one I will have to get back, I returned for an exchange which ended up turning to a refund….

[@MirrlyonTime]

Thanks for subscribing too btw!

[@demej00]

I just bought the blue face and red second hand. Don't like the face and wish I had gotten yours. My second hand hardly ever hits any indices but I like the one second sweep which my other watches do not have. Some have had problems with the stem breaking off. Guess I can at least replace the band though the nylon one is comfortable. Indiglo is the only uncomplainable I have.

[@MirrlyonTime]

That’s a bummer man sorry to hear you aren’t digging the watch.

[@xboxbml]

That Hamilton is mechanical…I missed the others you referenced but I’m guessing some were also mechanical… they’re more expensive because of that.. the one you reviewed here is a quartz movement.. I just got the Timex Expedition North Field Post Mechanical 38mm Eco-Friendly Leather Strap Watch in white dial. You kinda can’t compare the mechanicals with quartz.. they’re different and they’re more expensive because of what goes into making them. This 38 mechanical I got also has a sapphire crystal which costs more of course..My next purchase will be a Timex like this one with quartz/Indiglo..

[@MirrlyonTime]

No, I totally understand that my point was that you were getting the look of an expensive watch for much less at least I think that was my point thanks for watching been a while since I’ve had a comment on this video

[@xboxbml]

@@MirrlyonTime yeah I get it.. this or one of the other Expedition models will be my next purchase…I had a white dial Timex mechanical as a kid back in the 70s and just had to get this one first..

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@xboxbml the expedition north sierra have some nice colours, though they are basically the same as the scout otherwise

[@donwheeler1683]

I had just purchased this watch and upon arrival and unboxing, the second hand misses the minutes marks, so returned to Amazon and they are promptly replacing it. I paid $39.20..

[@c.s2001]

Agree. About 5-10% off. I got mine on Amazon (second hand, but new) for $73Aud. Very happy. Just swapped the leather/canvas strap out for a clean canvas strap.

[@AnCar88]

Hey there, cool classic timex. I am also looking for a small field watch (preferably 39 mm or less). And i do see where you're coming from with saying that stylistically field watches are somewhat similar to pilot watches. In my opinion, apart from the slightly different dial design on fliegers, the major difference is the size with field watches being usually under 40mm. In terms of slightly more expensive options, i'd suggest checking out Marathon and Smiths watches. Although in some sense if you get close to the 500usd mark it's kind of hard to not just go for a Hamilton.

[@AnCar88]

Oh and also Boldr watches. Forgot about that.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Hey Andrei. Yeah, this timex is a 40 mm, I am not a huge fan of 38mm, 40 for me is min size I would wear, but for the look and feel, 60 dollars Canadian you can’t go wrong! I can’t see myself getting a field watch like a Hamilton when I can have the look on a timex (and they are good watches IMO) for much much less, and indiglo! Ha, can’t beat that indiglo! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@AnCar88]

@@MirrlyonTime I also have a Timex, the fairfield chrono if i remember correctly, but nowadays i tend to be much more interested in mechanical watches. In the super budget range you're spot on with that Seiko SNZG. I often find myself debating whether i should pick up the smaller variant, the SNK809, but i do have other field-type autos and the 7S26 movement feels a bit too old for a 120+ euro watch. By the way, can't remember if you mentioned this, but how large are your wrists? Mine are about 7.75 in and i have no issue wearing 38 and 39mms. But of course that is just a preference thing in the end.

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@AnCar88 7.5 to 7.75 inch wrist so I say 7.5.....I have a nice seiko 5 entry level Automatic I got for 100 bucks (Canadian), and it’s a 38 mm watch. Nice watch, I don’t mind 38, but I would choose 40 over 38 any day, but yeah it’s just preference. 45 would likely be the most I would go

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@AnCar88 oh and I originally bought that chrono timex you have from Joma shop, good deal on it, came to me busted though. The time wouldn’t work. Chronograph did, but the 60 Second complication that runs the watch was stuck at 15 seconds and wouldn’t budge. Had to return it.

[@physicalzeppelin2326]

Best watch timex makes, just wish they made the exact same model but with stainless steel instead of brass

[@MirrlyonTime]

Agree 💯 stainless steel would be awesome, Thanks for watching m8

[@jeremiahbachmann3901]

I have a Timex Expedition. Is there a difference between the Expedition Scout and the regular Expedition or are they the same watch? My watch doesn't say Scout on it anywhere, just Expedition.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Good question, I’ve seen the same out there, and the “expedition” line has a bunch of diff watches. This one on the Timex website is called the Scout 40. So yea there are diff models within the expedition family

[@oscar-uz4dw]

The only issue with this watch is its 50 meters water resistant you need 100 metters thats a big issue for a good field watch its a big great beater watch if you buy it for 60$ .

[@MirrlyonTime]

@@oscar-uz4dw agree 100 Oscar it is a shame it doesn’t have 100 WR thanks for watching

[@angpagbubunyag8046]

the problem of this watch is when it comes to durability the indiglo light can't provide long lasting light..the light is not sustain for long time function .. and can't be fix

[@MirrlyonTime]

Interesring take. Indiglo is one of the star features of Timex. Dont think it was designed to be used for long periods of time like lume on a dive watch would be.

[@markhiggins3054]

Any one have experience with using her in the shower and pool or ocean please?

Not this one onlu 50 metres water resistant. I wouldn’t leave it under water for very long at all.
