![This $47 Watch Changed My Opinion Of Timex! [GIVEAWAY!]](/img/n.gif)
Also, I forgot to mention that Timex has produced for a while a midsized version of the scout (36mm). To my knowledge, it has now been discontinued, but if you dig a bit deeper you can find some of them. If you like smaller watches it's something to keep in mind!
Just bought mine. $42 and 37mm. I got mine from Walmart. This is important because Walmart is working to have 50% of all instore item be made in the U.S.A. Timex announced they will be leaving China in favor of U.S. made items which is why we see more Japanese and Swiss movement in their line up.
why I like this watch: it tells the time. (bonues: it's water proof, it tells the day, it glows)
Man... It sucks to be a watch enthusiast in Brazil.... This watch retails for US$120,00 here :/
Great video man, honestly great B-Rolls. Keep it up!
Hey everyone! Thank you for checking out today's video! Do you own a Timex expedition scout? Would you consider buying one? Let me know!
I recently bought the expedition scout solar version with a brown leather strap with black hardware and dial. Unfortunately there’s no indiglo because of the solar power. There’s also no ticking sound from this version. I’m very happy with the comfort of the strap too.
Just got one . Love it so far. Second hand lines up with minute marks dead on . I must be deaf , I don’t hear the ticking
I have certain amount of affection for Timex. My first 2 watches (back in the 70s) were mechanical Timex watches. This model seems to fit a particular niche fitting the bill nicely. However, at the moment I don't have a requirement for a value for money beater. I hope that the elephant didn't leave much mess for you to clean up 😉
Nice one about the elephant😂
I have seen that a lot of collectors have a connection with Timex... I think this is one of the coolest things about them
Thank you for your clear presentation.
I'm very bias, but I love Timex, mainly due to both of my Scout 40s, and my Camper 38. Badass watches, especially for what I do. Also, yes, I do have them equipped with HD NATOs.
Watch looks great on the grey nato!
The Timex Scout is my favorite watch and I own several.
I've picked this exact watch up twice in the last two days but haven't purchased it yet. It's a fine watch for the price. I can't quite afford a Bambino watch right now so this may have to hold me over 'till I can.
Ciao, very nice review! Grazie!
Thanks I was wondering if I was wearing that watch in a classroom or other silent place will it disturb everyone or even me?
i appreciate the commentary but id like to see the watch rather than your face
At my local Walmart in the US, I saw this next to several outdoor Casio models. I’m glad I didn’t buy it, not only because I have found that I like other field watches but because people who want to buy us an outdoor watch probably don’t know that it’s made of brass, I think hurts it significantly. It’s ticking sound isn’t that bad in my opinion tho. I have come across some old mechanical watches that I can hear across the room while I can turn out my Timex more easily.
I've got a Timex and oddly sometimes it becomes quiet for awhile and then you can hear it again 😂
I owne this model from timex,am satisfied with it also I am fan from the great Gianna Nannini! Greetings from Paesi Bassi
The lugs are long so you can fit thick straps through.
Timex is charging $75.31 USD in Australia for this. Not including shipping. I bought one anyway lol.
Is it too loud for classes?
Timex has a new Expedition called the Sierra that has 100m WR and a stainless steel case. Retails for about $100 US.
Yeah I know that model. Not bad at all, a tad too expensive though
@@watcharc9569 Really? Is it more expensive in Europe? $100 USD strikes me as reasonable for what you get with that watch.
Well yes it's not bad, it's just striking the price difference with the regular scout
@@watcharc9569 I suppose my point of comparison are watches like the Q Timex or the new MoonSwatch, which cost significantly more than the Expedition Sierra but offer far inferior specs. I can't think of a watch that offers 100m WR and a stainless steel case for the price of the Scout (if such a watch exists, please point me to it!).
@@keving4408 I have a Citizen Solar, 100M WR, Stainless steel (I think) and got it for £80, it went down to £70 at one point. It's called the Citizen Garrison
I have 3 and no issue with the ticking noise.
I live in the desert. If I am under more than 50m of water, something has gone horribly wrong...
I got one....so tough and long battery life 5 years and still counting
$30 where exactly? Not available for anywhere near that on the net
Can u believe this watch costs 96 dollars in 2024 here in Brazil 😂
Ask them to fix your indiglo
I am broke too, but I can't afford that.
Honestly this watch is no better than the Expedition Metals i have, in fact i'd say it's worse. The Metal has a wrap around crown protector, decent lume on the hands and indices, shorter lug to lug measurement and more premium looking dials. I really like Timex but this piece simply doesn't live up to it's name, it's just a styling exercise. Give it a stainless case, screw down back, a recessed crystal for more impact protection, crown guards, screw down crown, a separate Indiglo button, AR coating, a better spec movement and higher WR. Yes, i know it will cost a lot more, but that doesn't stop Bertucci from making and selling well speced quartz field watches.
just buy a hamilton then. This watch is like a gold plated watch, or black pvd plated.
@@DRFunny-nh4mg Quartz Hamilton watches lack most of what i listed yet cost 5 times as much as my Expedition"s MSRP.
A Casio JDM wave ceptor is a much better choice for my needs.
It’s $38 American dollars. You can’t go wrong at that price.
I paid $30 on prime day and I still consider it a total waste.
@@Bonpu ... Not me. It works great for my needs.
@@insightvideo6136 Glad to hear - really.
@@Bonpu what didn’t you like about it ?

- size: ANY 40 mm mil style watch wears like a 44 mm regular watch. (I know there exist 36 mm Timexes somewhere.)
- the useless grainy indiglo providing poor contrast in anything but complete darkness
- that cheesy yellow indian arrow style seconds hand
- 24h dials in general (they are an exclusive US thing)
- that cheap looking coated brass case
- the rather busy, cramped and loud dial
- it’s notorious ticking
- the uncomfortable, rough, cheap looking strap
- not safe for swimming
I own a $100 Chinese Baltany D12 field watch (only because mil style watches are virtually inexistent today). It is not great but at least it looks and functions like an actual watch.
My recently acquired Lorus Sports Lumibrite field watch is much better than this Timex, particularly for sports or 'field' use (hiking, cycling, camping, etc).
Yeah, been looking at them myself, although i like Timex. Maybe grab myself a Lorus .
@@gazzertrn you should ... I own one, they are amazing. I also have its brother, the Lorus Titanium which is strangely hard to get hold of now, but I love the Lorus Lumibrite very much. If you haven't bought one by now, and can afford to, I recommend you do :-)
@@mrnexus8seven949 Yeah bought the titanium one the other day .had a few people intrested in it when i wore it , your right its a good watch.
No such thing as a 30$ timex watch these days that watch is 50 $ today.
Way too big for a field watch.
Cheap throw away junk. $30 watch, $7 battery. Destroyed the damn watch attempting to get the case back on after having to change the battery after only a month. Watch worked great until then, but watch hands fell off trying to get the case back on. The battery and the tool to get the case on cost almost as much as the watch.
I once bought a Timex Expedition just for giggles on amazon Prime Day and I hate it passionately because it looks cheap, it is cheap, the strap is horrible, the lume nonexistent, and its cartoonish 40 mm size is way too large for a - typically large wearing - field watch even on an average wrist. If you'd wear it in combat you'd be killed instantly because the watches ticking gives away your position. I would sell it if only I could find someone stupid enough to buy it. I think Timex is generally way overrated. If you want a nice cheap watch please get a Casio.
Timex way better than casio
I got one....so tough and long battery life 5 years and still counting
