TimexIntelligent Quartz Men's Tide-Temp-Compass 45 mm Watch

Its been a long time since I owned a Timex watch, in fact the last Timex I owned was in secoundary school nearly 30 yearsago.So when my current watch packed up I looked around for a replacement there was plenty to choice, but it was an easyone to make as soon as I came across the Timex Expedition E-Tide Temp Compass Watch T2N721SU my mind was madeup, I had to have it.Packed full of features but with a less is more styling you got the normal hands hours, minutes and seconds, a forthhand is used for the rest of the features ie: compass, tempreture and tide time which all work well once set up and thewhole face lights up for about 5 seconds for night use.There is one minor issue and that is the date section is rather small and the same gose for the temp and tide scales area bit on the small side considering the size of the face, other than this it is a very easy to use watch and a very nice looking with a very soft but heavy duty leather strap and a all stainless steel case and back and a scratch proof crystalface that is as heavy duty as they come.But the best part is the price at £67.50 its just over £90 off the retail price you cant go wrong as its a lot of watch for asmall amount of money.I highly recomend this watch to anyone who likes outdoor adventure or anyone who just want a good looking watch.

Lovely watch with great gadgets

This is an unusual watch and looks good on. It has lots of interesting features that are listed in the description.the temp button is easy to press by accident if your wrist bends back a little.It is useful to note that when you select a function like tide, compass or temp the indicator hand will not always make it obvious which it is doing. Often it will go to the base of the scale for that function but between certain functions it will just go straight to the display.I have only had the watch for a month so I can't comment on the battery life.The indiglo works fine. If you have seen the Timex indiglo before it is what you are used to. It isn't BRIGHT but perfect for reading in the dark so you don't lose your night vision. Do you really need to read all the numbers on the face? There are no hour digits on the face anyway.the watch is on the heavy side but it is made of steel not plastic or titanium.I think it is a great watch. I may change the strap eventually as the silicon, whilst comfortable is a little sweaty but at least it won't smell like a cheap leather one.All in all a good watch.

Beautiful looking watch, I ordered it despite reading many reviews on bad quality.Turns out to be a mistake, it comes in a very humble package with no protection.Some of the areas on their photos that look black are actually silver, for my taste the watch looks too "busy" because the fourth hand really blends in with watch hands and it is not that easy to have a glance and see what time it is.The temperature meter is a joke, I am not sure what I expected but you have to take it off hand for a few minutes to show something close to ambient temperature, while wearing it it shows a blend of ambient and body temperature, around 35c.Compass seemed fine, although I haven't checked it against a real one.1 star for all that, and another 1 star for amazon return experience from Ireland. Zero help in getting this defective watch back to them while they keep my money.

At first, I thought that the watch was a bit gimmicky, however after setting it up correctly found it to be quite accurate and helpful.Strap a bit rigid but this softens with use.

I go diving and sometimes drive the RHIB, so I thought a watch that would help with the tides would be a useful thing to have.To be honest, this is a bit of a gimmick of a watch, but at under £100, it's not bad. The temperature reading seems to work as does the compass (possibly the most useful feature, aside from telling the time, of course), while the tide clock is a little simplistic, but that's unavoidable I guess, just a 6 hour offset between low and high tides.That said, it's a different looking watch at an affordable price.The biggest negative is that the strap is very hard and unyielding and the design (tiny lug width, wide strap) means you either need to buy expensive aftermarket straps for it, fit a weedy 16mm one or modify a 24mm (which is what I did and it feels much more comfortable for it).

After reading some of the less positive reviews i went ahead and purchased this watch for the low Amazon price. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the watch and bezel much better and smoother than Liv most expensive watch. Yes it took some time to set up and the strap could be longer but if you have the patience to set it up correctly this watch is a steal at the current 99.00 on Amazon.

The watch is lovely but I was very disappointed that it turned up in a damaged box and inside the presentation box was not shut the watch was already running with no plastic protective film over the face.Its amazing that the watch did not get damaged in transit and I obviously have no idea how long the watch has been running.
