    A hands on review of the Timex Expedition Grid Shock digital watch, a massive and awesome thing that I absolutely love!
    UPDATE: I forgot to mention in the video one other cool feature - you can set the alarm to beep or vibrate or beep and vibrate. This works really well and is really cool!

    Worth mentioning the Hydra mode can be set to buzz for upto an hour I think, not just 15 min. Also might be worth showing the set menu a d how to hide or show settings.

    Don't quite understand, the Timex Command Shock Digital CAT 54mm Watch is half the cost of the expedition yet other than a tiny change up on the front screen both watches are 100% identical in features and build. So why are you paying more for a watch instead of saving money? I know the display is inverted but still shows up nicely and looks great. Not to mention if you scratch yours depending on the angle of light or sun it will reflect the scratch to your lcd display.

    • @WatchesKnivesEDC
      @WatchesKnivesEDC  2 месяца назад +1

      To be honest at the time I bought this it was on special so it wasn't expensive. There are so many variations of these watches - I agree, buy the one that's the cheapest at the time 😊

      You may have the negative display model? I've never had any luck with those, they're virtually impossible to read.
      If that's not the version you have and it is like mine, a battery change is always a good place to start.

      Sorry to hear you've had trouble. They're cheap watches and Indiglo is kinda fragile - I've had 2 fail. But that's the price you pay for technology I suppose.

    Thanks very much for the review. I need a watch with big numbers so I can see them when in bed without glasses on, to this end I've been using cheap CIVO ones which work great. The size of this watch (and the look), made me want one but thanks to your review in which you measured the screen I now need not spend the money as my Civo screen is the same width which would make the digits pretty much the same size (but not as thick as the Civo. I think nearly £80 for aesthetic reasons with no difference in my ability to see it at night without glasses is a bit too much for me. But it was a very informative review. Thanks again.

    Do you reckon it will be a good fit on below 7inch wrists?

    • @WatchesKnivesEDC
      @WatchesKnivesEDC  4 года назад

      To be honest it's massive so looks huge on any wrist. Below 7" might be pushing it in terms of comfort though.

    • @PAIN-JUNKIE
      @PAIN-JUNKIE 10 месяцев назад

      I agree it is big but that’s why I bought it, I have a medical condition that affected my ability to easily read a watch face and I frequently have to go to the chemist and I have to fill in a small form.
      Because I have a brain injury my short term memory is absolutely useless and I always felt stupid because I couldn’t remember the day,date and year but this watch has changed all that to such a degree I bought a second watch as a back up when my original watch fails,plus I was surprised how quickly I got used to having a brick on my wrist.
      So sometimes big is beautiful.
