Perfect for a Growing Boy- Smaller face, tough, and a few other points.
My son loves this watch. We looked and looked and finally settled on this Timex Expedition Mid-Size- it was perfect for our 10 year old son. We went through a couple iterations of "kids" watches and they just didn't last. This watch has held up through swimming, basketball, baseball, and general rough housing

without a scratch.
- This is a good looking watch that is not too big on my son, or my wife who borrows it on occasion.
- Built like an "adult" watch vice the child watches we had tried in the past.
- Easy to read with a backlit face to make it easy at night.
- Intuitive settings- my son can set and change the alarms and the time zone on his own.
- The band is tough and soft- very comfortable with a Velcro strap that is easy to get on and off and to adjust.
Very happy with the purchase and my son really appreciates adult features and design in a "kid" sized watch.
Not surprised, Timex wins again!!
Summary: takes a little figuring out, simple YouTube video works ;). Does take some breaking in, but over time nylon straps become more and more comfy. But holy freaking CRUD CAKES I love the features and configuration.
I work with animals.... a smart watch is NOT going to cut it. However I need a watch with a stop watch (chronometer also works), several alarms, and timer for work (and myself too lol). This one has all of it!!! On top of that, no alarm EVER wakes me up... BUT THESE ONES DOOO!!! That won me over not gonna lie. If you're looking for a quiet watch... this is not it. The alarms beep and flash the indiglo... and the beeps are quite loud... (that's why it actually wakes me up) but all alarms and beeps can all be turned off entirely (no more beeping at every button!). Each alarm has a separate on-off feature (as well as weekday, weekend, or daily settings), and the 2 time clocks have separate systems as well. Meaning: you can have one time in a 12 hour configuration... and the second in a 24 configuration if you want to! Also if you hold the indiglo button until it beeps you can turn on a "night mode" feature where if any button is pressed the indiglo lights up (so you don't have to keep pressing the indiglo button every three seconds). The only thing I haven't personally tested is the waterproofing, but it's a Timex sport watch watch so I'm not afraid to say it will probably be good for light snorkeling. Also, personally I don't understand how to use the laps feature in the chronometer (I also don't know what it's for...) but I'm sure that's just a simple google search away. I'm not going to lie, this was my upgrade from the Timex marathon... and I normally wait a lot longer before reviewing... but I trust Timex sport watches so much that I'm 100% comfortable saying this is the best watch I've ever had!!!
