From a watch that measures tides, temperature and direction to an icon for adventurers – even those in the office. Meet the Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass, the watchmaking MacGyver that can do just about anything… except make coffee.
When you first see Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass, you don't know whether to wear it on your wrist or put it in a museum of contemporary adventure art. Inside the 43mm case made of recycled stainless steel (316L, to be precise – and Timex is) beats a heart that understands your addiction to functionality, aesthetics and – let's face it – at least minimal concern for the environment.
And then there's the belt - no, it's not crocodile or anything exotic. Double-layered recycled textile, with an embedded compass symbol. Wearable, durable and ready for anything: from office meetings to stormy shell hunting in Piran.
A watch that tells you more than your weather app
Forget your phone. This watch knows: Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass
- Measure temperature – in the air or water. Just don't forget to take it off your hand if you don't want it to measure your wrist temperature.
- Follow the tide – a manually adjustable index hand tells you when it's time to jump into the waves or when your anchor will suddenly run aground.
- Point north – analog, because not everything is digital and because sometimes you are without signal. The compass does require periodic calibration – just like your moral compass.
INDIGLO lighting? Yes. Luminous hands? Of course. Water resistance up to 100 meters below the surface? Recorded. Date? Classic at 6 o'clock - because even an adventurer needs to know what day it is when looking for a Wi-Fi signal on the summit of Triglav.
Who is the Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass for?
For the adventurer. For the urban explorer. For someone who knows the difference between the north and just another meditation app. If you're a person who wears hiking boots in Ljubljana and actually uses them in nature - then this is your watch.
Final Thought: Adventure on Your Wrist
Timex Expedition Tide-Temp-Compass is not a watch for everyone. It is for those for whom seconds mean more than just time – they are a signal that it is time for the next adventure. It is a watch that does not look like a computer on the wrist, but like a machine with a soul. And although it knows more than most smartwatches, it does not weigh down with messages, notifications and other digital noise.
Price? 279 euros. Value? More than the last three smartwatches combined that you forgot to charge.
