This Timex Watch (but not any battery, crystal, band, or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation. Timex will not repair defects relating to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation. This limited warranty applies to US Customers.Slip on this powerfully styled Timex stainless steel men’s chronograph watch (model 45951) when you’re feeling the need for speed. It features engraved tachymeter readings on the silver, coin-edged bezel, which can be used to measure time over distance, as well as a 4-hour chronograph that measures 1/20th seconds, seconds, and minutes. This stylish watch features a large, round silver watch case and cream dial, which is complemented by the three silver-outlined chronograph subdials and luminous hands (with seconds hand). It also has a date window at 4 o’clock that incorporates Timex’s Quick-Date feature with a three-position crown that makes setting the watch quick and easy. Other features include a water-resistant brown leather strap (with white contrast stitching), 4-year battery life, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Nice but unreliable alarm
I have just returned the second Timex Chrono Alarm Watch with an unreliable alarm after a few days/weeks of use. It just doesn’t sound every now and then, probably every once in 10 to 20 times, failure rate increases over time. A shame since the watch is very nice and keeps the time very accurately. We have had 5 Timex watches in the family over the past ~6 years. Out of those 5, 3 had to be returned due to failures. The other two have run for ~4 and ~6 years with no problem now. While these two certainly provide a good value for the money, a success rate of 40% is not very convincing and the idea to outsource quality control to the customer might be fashionable but will hopefully not turn out a successful business strategy after all.
5 Stars A tremendous watch for non snobs
I got a big kick out of reading all the reviews on this Timex Men’s Expedition Watch #T45951. People complained in reviews about finger prints on the dial, a poor leather strap or not snazzy enough or expensive enough. I think this watch is superb! It keeps great time (which is what a watch is all about), it looks as good as any in my opinion and better than most and it didn’t break my budget at around $60.
It is easy to set and work the various features, has a wonderfully constructed leather strap that shows quality construction and it can be worn proudly anywhere, even with your peer group. I even wore mine to church and nobody fainted.
The best thing is the way the Indiglo light works.I can tell the time anywhere, light or no light. The worst thing is the alarm is very soft and I can’t hear it—might be my age and that my hearing aids are out at night. Buy this watch and you will always love to wear it and will always know the time.
4 Stars Timex Still Ticks
Dependability and style at a great price, a real value. This Timex Chrono Alarm has more features than I expected. It’s packed with more features than watches I’ve paid much more for. I’m more satisfied with this watch than more expensive watches I own.
The dials make sense. You can actually read them. It has two alarms and I was surprised to find it has a great back light. It’s possible to catch up the date or to re-adjust for daylight savings without losing your time settings.
The only minor issue is that I can’t figure out what turns the beep off sometimes. (I probably need re-read the instructions.)
Overall I’m more than satisfied with this purchase. I’m a big Timex fan again.
5 Stars Timex Men’s Expedition # T45951
I purchased the Timex #T45951 in January 2009 and highly recommend it to anyone. It’s an exceptionly good buy and functins perfectly. It’s very accurate; in fact, it is more accurate than a $350 Seiko chronograph I own. It’s a good buy-go for it!
3 Stars Big Bertha
Attractive functions and appearance, but very thick and heavy. Hope I’m strong enough to wear it!
