The Timex Expedition Camper 38mm Fabric FAST WRAP Watch is praised for its durability, with one owner stating it "takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'" and another reporting continuous operation since 2018. Owners also highlight its value, with one noting a $25 price point and another finding the 38mm titanium version appealing for its looks, reliable quartz movement, sapphire crystal, and excellent value, especially with discounts. The acrylic crystal is noted as impact resistant and holding up better than comparable alternatives, though it scratches more easily. Some owners appreciate its glow, water resistance, and alarm features. The 38mm case size is confirmed, and one owner notes the 40mm variant wears smaller, feeling like a 38mm. Overall, owners rate the Timex Expedition Camper 38mm Fabric FAST WRAP Watch highly for its robust build and exceptional value.
The Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz is widely praised for its superb case finishing, legibility, and premium look, with its 40mm size found comfortable by many owners. Reviewers highlight its incredible value at $198, featuring a Miyota solar quartz movement and polished chamfers that add unexpected style. Some owners note the lume is not exceptional, and one commenter found the unpainted logo appeared unfinished, though Vario described it as a stealth design choice. The 50-meter water resistance is considered limited but acceptable for the price, and the quartz movement is audible to some. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vario 1945 A-11S Solar Quartz highly for its excellent case finishing and value proposition.
