There really aren’t many cons to the Expedition Scout, but in a perfect world, the case would be a little slimmer. It doesn’t bother me when wearing it, but from a pure design perspective, it looks a little bulky. Similar to the Timex Expedition Scout, the Citizen Chandler Field Watch brings a rugged and comfortable design to the table. While the inspiration of the military watch is undeniable, Citizen managed to infuse the Chandler with a more chic and casual appeal. For me, this isn’t a deal breaker. It’s not loud enough to be heard over talking volume, and if you put it in a case or drawer, you’re golden.

The Timex wing of my watch collection is now home to eight watches, with several modern quartz Timex staples – the Weekender, Weekender Chrono, and Expedition Field Chronograph– sitting beside numerous vintage Timex automatics. The collection is a mixture of old and new, and I think showcases the best from one of one of America’s most enduring watch brands. Tudor is a brand that is synonymous with heritage and prestige. Tudor brings their experience and places it within a 41mm hard steel case fortress. Of course, you can expect Tudor to throw in some visual flourishes in there as well, this time in the form of a domed sapphire crystal window.

Pros & Cons

The time markings are applied, and there are actually Arabic numeral markings for hours 1-12, with the addition of an inner circle with military time hour markings.

This Timex WS4 is powered by quartz movement for reliable and accurate timekeeping. It also has a 50m water resistance rating.

What I tend to like most about Timex are how competitively priced its watches are and the level of functionality built into the price. Their Engineer II Chronometer is an outstanding example of what a complete field watch can deliver. It doesn’t have the best lume or the most luxurious straps, but it is a really good watch for the price. It’s a perfect gift for your annoying teenager and a great going-away present for a sibling who’s heading to college. Also, it’s a must-have for any collector because it really embodies the Timex design. But also because of how insanely popular it is. The high price tag, though, means that this field watch might be too steep for most. For enthusiasts, though, the IWC Spitfire offers something that can be well worth the price of admission.

Lastly, the Expedition Katmai Combo is a unique offering with an analog-digital display. This watch is ideal for adventurers who need comprehensive timekeeping capabilities, including a 24-hour countdown timer, alarm, and second time zone. Additionally, the stainless-steel material used on the construction of the case has hypoallergenic qualities for those who have sensitive skin.
