So far I’m loving this
"So far I’m loving this watch! Probably also considering another Timex product. The I doo feature is dimly lit and the watch face is hard to read with my old eyes. But I genuinely love the watch and its features."

Wrist Size (in)
Wrap a garment measuring tape snuggly around your wrist just below the wrist bone. Alternatively use a piece of string and then measure the string length with a ruler. The average wrist size for men is 6.5-7.5", and for women is 5.5-6.5".
How to choose the right case size

Mineral Crystal
A toughened glass made from silica that's heat- and scratch-resistant, offering clear visibility and solid everyday durability.
Mineral Glass
Enhanced durability
Mineral crystals use a similar material to windowpane glass and were developed for watches as a harder alternative to acrylic. Mineral crystals are still susceptible to scratches but less so than acrylic, however it is not possible to buff out these scratches as it is with acrylic. Mineral glass is not as shatter resistant as acrylic but does offer greater transparency and clarity. Due to their improved scratch resistance versus acrylic, and improved shatter resistance versus sapphire, mineral is often considered to be the best of both worlds as a crystal material.

The watch is great! It
"The watch is great! It took longer than expected to get, that's the reason for the 4 stars."
my boyfriend loves his watch,
"my boyfriend loves his watch, but it took TWO MONTHS to ship."
Amazing watch
"Amazing watch"
Only issue I have with
"Only issue I have with this watch is the bezel doesn’t have a mechanism to secure it in place. It has a slight tendency to move when bumped. Other than that, it’s a solid watch, well constructed and designed, and easy to adjust, calibrate, and use."
It's a wondwerful piece.
"It's a wondwerful piece."
I love the looks of
"I love the looks of the watch it goes with any out fits the time is accurate. the temperature is pretty accurate have to take it off of your wrist and wait about 20mins for an accurate reading. tide time is accurate conveniently turns to the right time. I am disappointed about the compass this is my second one I got, the first one I got the compass was not accurate at all this other one I currently have is the same sadly so I will not use the compass feature when I’m hunting or hiking in the outdoors, it’s wasted space in my opinion other than that great watch."
Nice, solid, comfortable watch. Pleased
"Nice, solid, comfortable watch. Pleased with my purchase and have no regrets. The only issue I have, and maybe it’s just that I’m older and don’t have the eyesight I used to, is the tiny size of the lettering on the dial face. Sure - it displays the temperature - but in a typeset that almost requires a magnifying glass to see. And the business of the hands is something that I’m sure I’ll get used to, but I’m accustomed to the simplest of functions. This is a step toward “the busy” for me. Nothing wrong with it that time won’t fix (pun intended) but it’s a little harder for me to just glance at the watch to know what the time is. I have to ignore this, don’t look at that, focus here - not there- and then I know the time. But maybe constant use for a month or two and it will become second nature (hah! unintended pun). Still very happy with the purchase though."
I ordered the watch from
"I ordered the watch from the United States, and it arrived in New Zealand in under 7. The watch itself exceeded my expectations: elegant yet solidly built. I was pleasantly surprised by its weight—it feels substantial and high-quality. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase."
1. Just one grouse: the
"1. Just one grouse: the third hand (orange and white) make reading the time very confusing, especially since its white part makes it difficult to distinguish it from the hour and minute hands, especially in dim settings. 2. I would need a PhD in the reading of horological instructions to set the compass or tide features. 3. That apart, I love the watch!"
Q&A
- Is there a black face available?
- Hello Guy! Thanks for reaching out. The Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass 45mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch is not available with a black dial option. The model is only offered in its existing dial configuration.
- Is there a sapphire glass version of this? I’m worried about the scratches.
- Hi Tony! We’re delighted you’re considering the Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass. At this time, there is no sapphire glass version available for this model. It comes with mineral glass, which is durable and designed to withstand everyday use. We understand your concern about scratches, and we recommend taking care to avoid abrasive surfaces to keep your watch looking its best.
- Does the steel band version have any half links or micro adjust?
- Hello Eric! Great question about the Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass watch. The stainless steel bracelet version does not include half links or micro-adjustment features. It uses standard removable links for sizing, which means adjustments can be made by adding or removing full links. For a more precise fit, you might consider visiting a jeweler or watch technician who can help fine-tune the bracelet for comfort.
- The images of the front of the watch indicate the WR is 100m, but the image of the back says 50m. Is there an error in the image, or the watch?
- Hello Jay! Great catch on the water resistance markings—thank you for pointing that out. The Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass 45mm Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch is rated for 100 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and poolside diving. Just a friendly reminder: to maintain its water resistance, please avoid pressing any buttons while underwater.
