Timex has been the butt of plenty of watch jokes over the years, cheap quartz, Indiglo gimmicks, drugstore displays. But every now and then, they drop something that makes even seasoned collectors do a double-take. The Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar 41mm<\/a> is one of those moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not your usual throwaway Timex.<\/strong> We\u2019re talking a full stainless steel case, bead blasted gunmetal finish, sapphire crystal, screw down crown, screw down case back, and 100 meters of water resistance from a company more known for plastic cased beaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 170 to 180 dollars,<\/strong> it\u2019s not cheap by Timex standards, but it\u2019s still half the price of something like the Vaer C5, which is its closest real competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve worn this watch, lived with it, and tested it like I do with every piece of gear I cover. The bottom line? It\u2019s a wild and unexpected upgrade from Timex.<\/strong> But it isn\u2019t perfect, and I\u2019ll tell you exactly where it falls short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
