Thanks to WatchCrunch.com for sponsoring this video.
In this Timex Expedition North review video, I take a look at the Timex Field Post 36mm and 38mm watches, which appear to be upgrades of the cheaper Weekender and Expedition ranges. Are these worth the price hike? To find out, I purchased both the Field Post Solar and Mechanical to see how they stack up.
Disclaimer: All three of the watches featured were purchased with my own money for this video.

The curiosity on that mechanical got me to me also. I ended up getting the blue dial. I seriously considered the solar as well, but decided to go mechanical. These really are decent watches for the price, with those short hands being a bit of a flaw but they still work. I think the Hamilton and Bulova Hack are probably better overall but for the price the Timex is hard to beat especially since coupons here and there can make it very well priced.
@CivilizedWarrior
@CivilizedWarrior 3 ай бұрын
I’ve been wanting the VWI hack for a while, but since I last looked a few years ago, the price has basically doubled. Are the new cheaper timex quartz movements really that loud? I need a new beater, and I don’t wanna pay $150-$200 for a timex lol. For that much id probably just pony up a little more for the hack. But I would like something luminous without a battery to have to replace all the time. Any other budget suggestions? I’m pretty new to watches.

I own a genuine Timex digital watch, but it has a Casio strap. I had 2 Casio digital watches 2005-7 and both died after less than a year and wouldn't even work properly with replacement batteries. So I bought a Timex with the twist a flex strap. Strap was pretty bad and fell apart after 2 years so I replaced with one of the Casio straps. I've had the Timex since 2008. It's on its 5th battery but still works great. I'm proud to own a genuine Timex ☺

I picked the blue mechanical one up last week for £135 and it looks so much better than the images online. It feels good, looks good the strap is good and keeps very good time (so far). If the movement packs up it should be cheap enough to replace. All in all it’s a very solid offering for what I paid but it’s not worth the retail price that they are asking - north of £200!

Its actually better if the hands don't reach the marks on the rim. Luminous hands have a long way to go before they fulfil their promise. In the dark when glow has worn off after a few hours it can sometimes be hard to distinguish between the dial markers and the end of the hand where most glow survives. This can make it hard to decide between the hour and minute hand. The solution you found here makes it easier to distinguish between faded glows in the dark.

Not bad timex not bad. The mechanical is one I'd opt for if I didn't have the Hamilton already - no sense in having two very similar watches. But props to them for stepping up the quality here. For it's price I grabbed the mechanical pre-owned so it's solid if not spectacular. The only questionable thing is that movement. Surely there are better alternatives than that. Great work mate

My wife gave me one of these this past December and I've been wearing it as my outdoors/working watch. I put it in a window for 15 minutes when she gave it to me on Christmas day and it's taken quite the "licking" since then with no issues. The power reserve isn't the absolute best from what I understand but since I'm not living in a cave, it shouldn't be an issue. It's a very good field watch, especially for the price point.

I consider the PULSAR (by SEIKO) Solar, which looks almost identical to the TIMEX Solar you showed here, to represent much better value, as it i generally available (new) for under £50. I wear mine on a Milano style mesh bracelet (looks great!). I am very fond of solar / EcoDrive watches in general - and have 8 models from Citizen, Seiko, Pulsar and Casio in my collection of (about) 30 watches. However, I also have battery Quartz (analog and digital), Kinetic Quartz, Automatic Mechanical and wind-up Mechanical. Solars are probably the easiest to live with.

Pretty sure that's one of the Seagull handwinders made for women's watches. Can't remember the cal. number. Edit: It's a Seagull TY6DSK, but with a non-skeletonized mainspring barrel, and some engravings around the movement (pretty sure that's a factory option). These are around £10, give or take, I think. These are okay usually, you can expect them to keep going for a couple years.

Hey man, thanks for the cool video! I've recently gotten into watches, and am now looking to buy my first proper watch. I was hoping you or someone in the comment section could give me some suggestions from personal experience. I want this watch to stay with me and keep functioning properly I thought I'd buy an automatic watch, with sapphire glass and 10 bar of water resistance (or higher), for around 300 euro/dollars (but I would go up to 500 should I really like the watch). So far I've set my sights on a Citizen NH9120, since on paper it has all the specs I want, looks cool and has a cool titanium coating. But there are little to no reviews or videos on the internet I've been able to find, so there's not an easy way for me to check whether the good specs on paper are as good as they seem. Does anyone have any experience with this watch or another one that checks the boxes that they would really like to recommend?

With all the ridiculous and often "latest style trends" types of watches available from everyone.....this combo for some reason can't be found.

I had a timex expedition before but i corroded the heck out of the brass case and crown. It was a great watch though. Indiglo is something I still miss.

I have one of the first weekenders and it has steel case. Great watch! New straps give it a completely different look. I have to leave it in the other room when I go to sleep though.

I’ve been wearing my expedition watch for years and I’m wearing it now hahah, it’s been in the ocean. In the woods. Banged around at work. Thrown around by a baby, beat up and loved. If I replaced the straps youd be surprised how new it’d look even without cleaning 🤣 good watches 💯

Hi, I'm relatively new to watches and was interested in buying one but I live in Portugal and to find online stores is tough, are there trusted sites that you could recommend that deliver to here?

Expedition is a solid watch though too. Very loud when sleeping but quiet in the daytime! Strap could be a bit better too.

Citizen solar watches are said to be more reliable, especially under artificial light. Any info on that? Also: why no lumed numbers? I know, hamilton does not do them on the comparable model, but still…

I have a little hydroponics unit for some small herbs and other plants beside my watch box, keeps my cheap solar Blue resin timex expedition and my solar Gshock charged just fine, a decently bright lamp by your box (if it has a glass top, which mostly seems common should be plenty) At worst maybe just keep them by a window, if that's not enough than it's probably not working that well to begin with. Have yet to get a solar citizen though so I can't compare

I was hoping to get in the Expedition that they post everywhere, looks like something out of a Rambo movie! Wish they'd drop a solid discount on them, you know I love a good deal

Mmm...I'm wondering how solar watches are reliable here in UK. I mean..any reviews about "charge" reliability? Would I be "stuck" on remember to charge the watch? Thanks

I spent 85 bucks for my solar titanium Citizen watch almost 10 years ago, and it’s still reliable and accurate.

Ever since I had one of their "Ironman" marathon digital watches as a kid, and it survived everything a kid can throw at it for years, I can't help but respect that, might have to get one of these feild mechanicals since I've finally taken interest in such fully analog hardware

Nice watches you should check out the Citizen BM8180-03E £75 from Argos great little eco drive field watch comes on a dodgy strap but looks great when you put it on a nato.

I love your work. Timex 30m is life proof. Put it on and get a new one when the band gives out ot the battery does. My dad put three batterys and two straps on his last one and its still going. The indiglow has given out however. He never took them off. They were always 36-38mm and field watches.

Great watches, if you get the chance could you take a look at the automatic in this line. Titanium, 200m WR, display case back, automatic movement, nice textured dial, etc. curious about your thoughts on it because it looks like it could be a budget beast

Hey Ben, great channel, love your work. Check the casio mtd 1053 d. Its a diver with the same specs as the duro but at 41 mil. Here in greece it goes for 50 euros while the duro is at 80. I have it on a perlon strap an its lovely as a summer - sea watch. At 41 mil it will match your wrist better than the duro. Cheers!

The second hand doesn’t line up to the seconds markings on my current Timex Expedition, which drives me more crazy than it should. It looks like it does the same thing here. Am I wrong? Does the second hand line up reasonably to its markings?

Apart from the insertion of the word "Post", I'm struggling to see how the solar differs from the 36mm Expedition North Field Solar that I bought last year.
