Review of Timex Men's Expedition Premium Collection Chronograph Watch #T42351

Pros:Works as advertised. Smooth operation: buttons and crowns are big and easy to push, pull, and turn.Easy to set alarm.Easy time zone changes. Chronograph functions.Split time feature.Quartz accuracy.Dial flashes when alarm sounds. Looks even better than the picture.

Cons:Dial contrast is not as pronounced as in picture, which makes it a little harder to see the hands without my glasses than I anticipated, but I can manage. Alarm is too quiet for me to hear in most circumstances, but I do have a profound high-frequency hearing loss.Young people won't be bothered by either of these issues.

I'm satisfied with the watch.It looks good and has good features.

Overall, a quality, high-tech look and function in a watch that is accurate, affordable and from a company that has a reputation for durable watches.Status hounds, look elsewhere.

Hadley Roma sells a black stainless bracelet that will fit this watch, but they also sell high-quality deployant clasps to fit the leather band, for those who don't particularly like buckled bands.

One more thing, if you don't read the instructions before you begin playing with the watch functions, you will think the watch is defective.The watch requires some simple to perform calibrations for the chronograph dials to function properly.
