Customer Reviews Timex Expedition® Vibration Alarm Full-Size

Great watch, simple to use. The vibration alarm is perfect for waking yourself up but those around you.

I have been looking for a watch that would be useful flying around the world in a B777 with FedEx and this fits the bill. Three time zones easy to access. Keep one on Memphis, one on Zulu, and one wherever I am on a layover. The vibrating alarm is a great feature. Most comfortable watch that I have worn. The service with Zappos is fantastic!

It's a good, basic, inexpensive watch. I bought it for the vibrating alarm, because I sometimes sleep with earplugs. It doesn't vibrate that much, but enough to wake me. The compass points around the bezel are superfluous because there is no compass feature on this model. The only real negative is that you have to go through a bunch of main set functions to change the alarm from tone to vibe - you can't do it from the set-alarm function. The numbers are larger than on some other Expedition watches by Timex, which I think is a plus.

Arrived in a timely fashion, and it is a lovely and comfortable watch. It does everything as advertised. It replaces a beloved watch that had come to it's end of service time and could not be fixed. It meets all the check points in what I require in a watch. Thanks Zappos'.

Not enough vibration to wake someone and could be missed if the person is absorbed in conversation or a movie, but if you want a gentle quiet alarm, this could be great. The buttons are exceptionally easy to use and might be good for arthritic fingers or someone with limited dexterity. All the expected Expedition features. I'd recommend it.

This is a wonderful watch. I am all the more amazed considering the maker! I bought this watch because I was curious about the vibration alarm. I have a hearing disability, and it is impractical for me to sleep with the type of hearing aids I wear. There is no alarm I have tried that is portable and will awaken me. Little did I know that this inexpensive yet mighty watch would solve this problem! The vibration may not seem very strong, but it is perfect for me! I sleep soundly, but as soon as this little puppy starts its waves of vibration, I am up! There is an added bonus in that I am awakened much more gently. No more being startled awake. The only downside is that I had to get used to wearing a watch when I sleep. That took all of two nights. It is surprisingly comfortable.

I am small boned and this watch was too big for me. It rubbed against my wrist bode. I did try out the vibration alarm and it was very faint. I was awake before the alarm went off but I don't think it would have woken me up.

The product description is misleading. The vibration not only fails to keep going for 20 seconds, it just buzzes for literally 3 seconds and is barely noticeable. The "Vibration" selling point doesn't live up to its "alarm" requirement. There is no way that is an alarm. The traditional beep, sure that works fine but might as well write off the vibration feature of this product.
