- I found its leather band quality better than other cheap plastic body solar watches.

TOP -3 Timex Expedition Gallatin Solar Watch Review:
I always find Timex watches with an easy-to-read design, this is a new retro look solar watch by Timex but I dint find its readability up to the mark.
Lets check out the features.
Features:
- The watch has an acrylic dial lens.
- It has a 45mm resin case.
- It can be charged with any light and has two months power reserve.
- 22mm leather strap fits up to 8-inch wrist size.
- 5ATM water-resistant.
- Luminous hands.
What I Liked:
- The watch is very accurate and keeps perfect time.
- It’s a 45mm case big watch but very lightweight (1.44 ounces) and comfortable.
- It’s a solar watch so no need of taking the headache of replacing the battery every year.
- Its nato strap is very easy to clean.
- Again it has the same two months of power reserve capacity and can be quickly charged with any kind of light.
- The watch is very comfortable on the wrist.
- It’s a perfect everyday watch at an affordable price.
- It is 5ATM water-resistant. (I would suggest you just shower with it and do not swim)
What I Disliked:
- It has an Acrylic lens which is strong but not good scratch resistant.
- The lume is OK for the price.
- The watch case is made of resin (kind of plastic) Not much durable.
- The readability is not good due to the dark dial color contrast.
Although it is a very inexpensive watch under $50 still I won’t recommend you because of less readability, less scratch resistance, and resin body that doesn’t make it a good survivor in the long run.

TOP-4 Timex Expedition Acadia Solar Watch Review:
This Timex solar watch has better readability than Timex Gallatin (number 3rd on this list). But again a resin case material is used and also an Acrylic lens on the dial which is not good scratch resistant.
Although it has 4 months battery power reserve and can be charged with any kind of light, the solar function works really well. It is not a bad deal under $50.
Let’s check out the features.
Features:
- It has a 20mm fabric strap that fits up to 8-inch wrist circumference.
- This watch can be charged with any kind of light with 4 months power reserve.
- 40mm resin case with the acrylic lens on the dial.
- It serves a 5ATM water resistance capacity.
What I Liked:
- The watch looks like a field watch and has a very clean and clear easy to read dial.
- The fabric strap is made of good quality and feels comfortable on the wrist.
- Great battery life because of solar function, no need to replace the battery every year.
- The accuracy is at its best as expected from a Timex watch.
- It gives you 4 months of power reserve once it is charged.
- The hands are luminous and help you to read time in dark or low light condition.
- The watch is 5ATM water resistance, good according to the price.
- It is a very light weight watch because of the resin body material.
What I Disliked:
- It is prone to scratches & scuff because of Acrylic lens.
- Resin or plastic material body.
The watch is not very bad but not very good for a daily wear because it is prone to scratches as it has acrylic lens covering the dial. Also, the plastic body does not seem to last long. Overall the readability, looks, solar function is good at this price. Not a bad deal under $50.
Color Variants:
The watch comes in 2 different color variants. One is blue and another one is green. Both the color options look good but I would personally prefer green because it makes it look more like a field watch.

Conclusion/Which Timex Solar Watch is Best?
Although Teamax has tried its best to provide you a good solar watch at a low cost. But this attempt did not appear to be a complete success.
Out of these four, if I had to choose one of the best Timex Solar Watches, I would have gone either with the first one or the second one.
The reason behind that is the durability of the first and second watch is much better than the third and fourth.
Brass material and good quality leather have been used in the first and second watch, on the other hand, the third and fourth watch is made of plastic and the acrylic lens is not scratch resistant at all.
If you are looking for a daily wear watch that is Rough and Tough, then go with the first two options they are the best in terms of price, durability, readability, accuracy, and looks. Also, cut your cost of replacing the battery every year.
