Review of Timex Men's Expedition Easy Set Alarm Classic Analog Watch #T45101

Sometimes you find a watch that you really like, more than others. Such is the case of this Timex Men's Easy Set Alarm Classic Analog Fullsize Watch and my son, who found this one on his own. He had asked that I get him a watch as a Christmas gift, so I told him to find one that he really liked wondering what he would come up with.

For some reason Timex watches have always had a place in the lives of my family members, as previously noted in a review that I posted on my Timex Men's Outdoor Performance Digital Compass Expedition Watch. The late John Cameron Swayze coined the now-famous phrase "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking" when he did his old black & white TV ads, and all of the Timex watches that I've owned lived up to that saying.

So when my son told me that he had found a few different watches, including this, I asked him to explain what he liked about each one. He liked the charcoal face with full numeral display around the inside of the watch face, along with the luminous hands, the date in its little window and the Indigo illumination. He really liked the moveable exterior bezel, and that it had an alarm feature that was said to be easy to set.

Being the practical parent, I liked the stainless steel case, the weather-resistant leather strap and the fact that the watch was water-resistant to 50m. Also liked that it was said to use less battery power than other watch illumination systems, which enabled the watch battery to last longer.

Could see that he liked this particular watch better than other models, and even though some were more expensive and "had more dials" than this, he liked the looks of this one better. And on December 25th, you should have seen his happy face when he unwrapped it and put it on.

But that's not the end of this little tale about this watch.

I do like timepieces of many kinds, and had been looking at a particular Swiss Army watch that seemed to be a nice choice. My son happened to see me looking at the selections here on Amazon.com, then asked why I didn't get one like his, reminding me that I had said that I always liked Timex.

And he was right, so that's how I ordered one of these for myself, and now we have a matched pair that we're both quite happy with.
