Timex Expedition North Titanium Automatic 41mm I Did Timex Just Slap Hamilton in the Mouth ?

[@hammondwatch2808]

HD is still processing! It's just taking forever!

[@WatchWitt]

Classic looking field watch. I didn’t even know Timex did any titanium cases! Sharp.

[@hammondwatch2808]

Pretty rad.

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

Instead of the bead blast finish that Timex went with here, they should opt for a stone washed finish. It accomplishes the same thing-dulling down reflection. But stone washing absorbs and conceals scratches SO MUCH better.

[@whodeycinbengals]

No big threat to Hamilton until they slim that case down and make that case smaller from a 41. With that said, it’s a good looking watch and I am a huge Timex guy

[@HenriksenDolf]

I prefer this case size...it is all subjective

[@TermlessHGW]

​@@HenriksenDolf Exactly. I daily wear a Casio ProTrek which is 45mm case width and haven't had any issues with its size.

[@agprime]

Your caze size preferences don't apply for everyone.

[@sluggingbread]

Proof you can't please everyone, Timex makes a field watch more of a field watch and less of a luxury watch - and it gets criticized for it. Lol.

[@albertsmith9315]

I've had this watch for a couple of weeks. I have zero buyer's remorse, I really like this watch. The strap is not terrible, not great, but not as bad as some reviews make it out to be. Being 20mm, I have played with several strap changes as I have dozens in that size. Pretty much everything that I tried looks good due to the universal simplicity of this watch. Black sailcloth, tan suede, reddish brown rally style, everything looks fine. My watch is 7 To 10 seconds fast per day. Every three or four days, I pull out the stem when the second hand hits the 12, and watch my atomic wall clock to push the stem back in when the times sync. A slightly fast watch makes these corrections easy. I have over a dozen watches and this Timex is on my wrist more often than not.

[@hammondwatch2808]

Timex really did a good job with this one.

[@nliver1337]

Same

[@darrylwoodbury]

I guess I'm not the only one who does this with my non atomic timekeeping watches. I like having my time as accurate as possible.

[@fatherhooding]

Imagine shaving it down to 10.5mm height in a 38 case. This would be so sick. Then again, it would be so sick if it turned into a sinn 556 ar s. Lol

[@imbadatthisgame1681]

Then go get an old Russian military watch for like 100$

[@danielcorrea3097]

It’s always nice see a Timex with no acrilic glass

[@rickb6365]

I appreciate your review, it was very helpful. At 59yrs old I'm a new watch enthusiast firmly planted in the "budget luxury" category, not the "luxury luxury" category. I'm trying to do a lot of research before any purchases and I was trying to decide between the Timex Expedition or one of the Hamilton Khaki Field watches. The Timex has good specs and a lower price, so I was leaning toward the Expedition, but I had a lot of questions about it. Where is it made, exactly what caliber is used, etc. I think I'm going to go for the Hamilton as my daily watch. Thanks!

[@MrOllium]

I really like the “asphalt “like dial 👍🏼

[@hammondwatch2808]

Nice touch for sure.

[@nenadcubric2663]

Awesome Size, ❤Awesome Watch❤

[@darrylwoodbury]

I just purchased this watch and I have to say I'm really liking it so far. The small negative I see so far is the strap. It feels weird. I had to get used to the feel of it, if that makes any sense at all. Other than that, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

[@joshmiller2725]

Timex needs to write “miyota movement” in their spec description on their website. They just write “automatic movement” so I assumed it was some Chinese movement (which Timex loves to do). Knowing its miyota makes it much more appealing. Still wish it was a lot smaller though

[@MosesMDS]

It’s small perfect size, show be a little big!

[@911_dan2]

Thx for the honest review

[@sujoydasgupta9711]

The exhibition back case is Sapphire or Mineral ?

[@kurthill7030]

Great watch 👍

[@TimothyLipinski]

Great Video ! My Titanium Field Watch is sub $100.00 USD/U$D (made in China... NO, NO). Maybe another version of the Timex Watch with Tritium and/or Solar ! Also I like the NATO/EDC watchband with the Suunto button clip on compass for my watch EDC ! My Timex digital watch is set in 24-Hour mode, but the Indeglo button quit working... tjl

[@InGratitudeIam]

While a few things could have been improved, it definitely "scratches that itch." I got a Ti mesh bracelet. Definitely an improvement. Also, it plays well with NATO.

[@spg5658]

For the money a much better choice than Hamilton. Not even close.

[@sujoydasgupta9711]

Which lume has been used here ?

[@el_puma_real]

Watch Chris said this watch does not hack. I’m a bit confused. Great review.

[@erickruse4679]

It says 200m water resistance, and probably achieves that. This is the big thing that could beat the Hamilton in a "field watch". I think they needed to put a 9-series Miyota in it though in order to try to exist in that price category.

[@hammondwatch2808]

I agree. I think it would have made it much more competitive. That said the lume, AR coating and dial do provide better legibility than hamilton does in most their field watches. I think Timex was close here. I hope they keep improving it.

[@mariog7213]

They also need to offer a bracelet version and make it less than 12mm thick imo.

[@hammondwatch2808]

@@mariog7213 Both would be nice. I hope there's a second version. I'd be ok with a manual wind movement if it was sub 12mm.

[@MrSeedi76]

@@hammondwatch2808 not sure about that. I have a number of Timex watches, the "Scout" solar and the "Expedition North" solar and the lume sucks. It's no way near the lume of the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical.

[@hammondwatch2808]

@@MrSeedi76 Im not saying all timex watches, I'm saying this particular timex has better lume than my Khaki field.

[@Tbone51]

I love the look of the Hamilton Khaki Field watch. BUT, without AR or good lume, I'll not buy one.

[@itspat7285]

Sold out, you wanna sell yours?

[@nenadcubric2663]

Awesome Watch for the Price

[@Howknows78199]

Id love one of these, but the hands just ruin the watch for me

[@johnrideout7124]

It should sell well as it has Arabic numbers, now rare, a plain dial with luminous hands, along with a screw-on back and guarded winder, its auto, and has probably the oldest name, but no country of manufacture, would have liked it made in Switzerlan!d

[@SkiRaceGeek]

The automatic titanium Hamilton is $1000. So about three times the price. Not a fair comparison at all.

[@jddd665]

The guy from Watch Lab channel slapped this one heavily. Basically compared it with a toy gun...

[@hammondwatch2808]

I would compare the moonswatch with a toy but not this. Its not oversized and its a bit light due to the material but that's to be expected.

[@georgecupac1202]

i like it. id replace the strap.

[@zillsburyy1]

saw them on ebay for under 200

[@marcdave9521]

really nice but its already sold out and its just very similar to some boldr watches and boldr is cheaper so its good but that not super impressive

[@hammondwatch2808]

100% agree.

[@LoranHarding]

If it is sold out, why would they not make more of them and make more money?

[@mrb6597]

The constant start-stop and hiss in the audio make the video unwarchable :(

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

The watch looks more like a chunk of scrap metal that separated from a Russian satellite flying over orbit as it got intensely hot by a 3 square mile meteor.

[@TelephoneNinja]

Holy cow did you record this with some kind of sausage?? The audio quality is just absolutely horrible, I can't remember watching a video sounding this bad in a very long time

[@docfluty]

It’s kind of tacky imo. I like the titanium, crown guard and water rating. But the dial, date and thickness makes it seem like something you’d buy from a dept store shelf, not even in the glass case

[@ocb05]

49mm lug to lug, ugly date hole, 13.5mm thick? NOPE. Oh yeah, you should take a look at the latest Hamilton Murph 38mm.

[@hammondwatch2808]

Actively working to get my hands on one. That thing is glorious.

[@ocb05]

@@thegeneral1955 look, you want to submerge your whole body most of the time? Maybe there is one thing called DIVER that you should buy instead of field watch. Field watch is like a versatile tool that can handle everything but definitely not specialized. In your case, you are better off getting a 99$ G-Shock

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

I cant stand crown guards on a field watch. That completely ruins this watch for me.

The weight. I have a helm vanuatu titanium and love it. Its chunky but wears great because its ti.

[@XRPtheStandard58900]

Why buy a watch to just return it. Doesn’t make sense. Thumbs down 👎🏾

Because I didnt like it as much as I thought I would. You just throw your bad purchases away?
