Expedition Field Mini Women's 26 mm Watch

I was looking for a watch to take on a riding safari. This watch seems to be exactly what I was hoping for: -Small enough for a slim female wrist -Green /khaki colouring -Waterproof -Analogue -Luminous hands (plus backlit screen at the touch of a button) -Not so insanely expensive that I’m going to worry about it all holiday I’m going to an area with patchy electricity so realised I would need to leave my usual Apple Watch behind, and go back to a low-fi model for this trip. It needs to be rugged too - and work with a “1923” style vintage safari look! First impressions: Light, easy and comfortable on the wrist. The colours are great. It feels really well made. There are plenty of holes in the wristband. I also appreciate having the two leather keepers - if you have a slim wrist, you don’t need to have the loose end flapping around, which can be so annoying otherwise. The backlight is very easy to use - just push on the side button and the screen lights up for as long as you keep pressing. Impressively thoughtful design for something so small. It’s like they read my mind! It was slightly more expensive than I had hoped for, but I’ve ended up with something much nicer than planned. Mainly, I’m just relieved to have found a decent, practical watch which is up to the job I need it for, and noter stylish too. Too many ladies’ watches are just - way too girly. And the military-style men’s ones are all too big for me. Whereas this little watch is: pretty much perfect! Thank you, Timex!

I am so pleased with my new watch. I have had a timex indiglow for 20+ years. This ladies watch is neat, looks good and the dial is clear and so readable. Size is perfect not too heavy. Impressed with the strap which is very comfortable and adapts well to a slim wrist

Love this watch. I’m onto my third. Tbh, I think the last one only needed a new battery but I can’t get one during lockdown. Comfy, tough, clear, excellent value for money. The last two survived years and years of gardening, long dog walks and other mucky outdoor pursuits before the straps went. They’re great if you value function and simplicity and don’t want a “girly” watch but have a smaller wrist and no wish for a chunky bloke watch either. Perfect.

This is a very attractive and practical watch. I liked the strap material and design and it was perfectly wearable on my very small wrist. It arrived very securely packaged and obviously had never been taken out of it's box before which is exactly as you should expect. My issue with it was with the size of the face which was quite small and therefore not easy to just glance quickly at and register the time with a quick look. I have the Timex Easy Reader in the same size - 26mm - which is actually far clearer to read. Despite being the same size case, the face size and numerals on the Expedition watch are actually smaller. I therefore returned the Expedition Field Mini and ordered the Ladies Easy Reader 30mm watch instead and feel happier with that version.

This makes a superb children’s watch. It’s easy to read, a really nice size for small wrists, waterproof, well made and robust. My daughter is nine and has had hers for a year with no issues. She likes it so much (particularly the night time illumination feature) that it barely leaves her wrist! Recommended.

Love this watch Keeps really good time . Glows at night with a push of a button . With I use all the time

Bought this watch because 1. it is a Timex 2. Because of other complimentary recommendations 3. It passes the farm test. My wife has inherited some land and has been diligently working out on the land making improvements for several hours a day. When I saw that she was constantly looking at her phone for the time I decided to get her a watch that she could wear comfortably, read the dial with straining her vision, and had a way of lighting up the dial in the dark. This watch is small but very comfortable on her wrist so much that she does not realize that she is wearing it. The leather band does not bother her at all over leather gloves she wears while working on the land. This was a birthday gift and she is very happy now that she doesn't have to bring out her phone to find out what time it is...+++it's a Timex!

This is about my fourth timex waterproof watch over the past 20 years or so. This is my second expedition mini field, the previous one wore out. I wear it all the time, office, socialising, kayaking, shower, walking, surfing etc. Very robust. Like the little light - useful to see the watch when camping. They take a fair battering and keep going. Its small enough and ordinary enough to wear at all times so I dont have to change it for different situations.
