FAQs

What is the water resistance rating of this watch?

The Timex Expedition watch has a water resistance rating of 5 bars (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, but it is not recommended for swimming or diving.

How do I set the time and date on this watch?

Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date, and to the second position to set the time. Always push the crown back in firmly after setting.

What material is the watch strap made of?

The watch strap is made of a durable blue textile material, measuring 21 cm in length and 20 mm in width.

Does the watch have a backlight?

This watch features luminous hands which glow in the dark after being exposed to light, but it does not have an electronic backlight.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

The Timex Expedition watch comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.

What are the dimensions of the watch case?

The watch case has a diameter of 39 mm and a height of 10 mm.

Is this watch suitable for professional settings?

With its classic design and blue dial, it can be suitable for many professional environments, especially those with a more relaxed dress code. However, its sporty Expedition series branding might lean more towards casual or business-casual wear.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not keeping accurate time.

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.

Date is not changing correctly.

Verify that the time is set correctly past midnight. If the date changes during the day, you may need to re-set the time past noon (12 PM).

Luminous hands are not glowing.

Luminous hands need to be 'charged' by exposure to light. Ensure the watch has been exposed to sufficient light during the day for the lume to be visible in darkness.

Strap feels uncomfortable or too loose/tight.

Adjust the pin buckle to a different hole on the textile strap for a better fit. If needed, consider purchasing an alternative 20mm watch strap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is an analogue watch, so the primary setup involves setting the correct time and date.

  1. Pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the date. Rotate it until the correct date is displayed.
  2. Pull the crown out to the second position to adjust the time. Rotate it to set the correct hour and minute.
  3. Push the crown back in to its original position to secure the settings.

Compatibility:

As a standalone timepiece, this watch does not have electronic compatibility requirements. The textile strap is secured with a standard pin buckle, allowing for potential replacement with other 20mm wide watch straps if desired.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean the textile strap periodically with mild soap and water, ensuring it is thoroughly dry before reattaching.
  • Water Resistance: While rated at 5 bars, avoid prolonged immersion in water. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Ensure the crown is pushed fully in before exposure to moisture.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its original gift box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches when not in use.
