Review of Timex Men's Expedition Analog Metal Tech Casual Watch #T49633

Maybe it's not fair to be writing a review of this watch after only owning it about two weeks... but since there aren't any reviews at all, I feel I should tell people what an awesome watch this is.

I had to return the Unisex watch that sorta looks like this, but has a black face and leather strap (T49669), because the face was too small. Also the band didn't transition smoothly from the casing, like it showed it did in the picture. This watch, however, purely exceeds my expectations of it. It is even more beautiful than in the picture. The band flows smoothly into the casing creating a really nice simple futuristic-space look while still being classy (unlike the hideous future-space look of the G-shocks or Ironman watches).

One slightly negative aspect: The band has this little notch thing on the end of it, which fits into the band loop to prevent it from sliding out. It makes it only a little less smooth to take it off. I don't really mind it though. In fact, I don't think I've taken it off more than twice since I got it (I really REALLY like this watch).

Another thing is that it was a little heavier than I though it would be, due to the brass casing. I suppose this is a good thing, as I am predicting this thing will last forever (and if it doesn't I promise I will update this review).

I have taken many showers wearing this thing and it's still ticking.

The Amazon picture really doesn't do it justice.

Oh yeah, the indiglo works great. Not bright enough to use it as a flashlight in the dark but bright enough to see what time it is. The little glowing strips on the arms and dots by the numbers are pretty bright too.
