Twelve red LEDs represent hours, eleven green LEDs represent groups of five minutes and four yellow LEDs represent single minutes. The time can be shown immediately with a second touch of the button.

Timex Expedition WS4 hands-on

Posted by admin | Posted in News, Stuff | Posted on 05-02-2009

“The folks at Timex were kind enough to send us a pre-production version of their Expedition WS4 watch, and we can tell you right now — some serious adventuring is about to begin. We haven’t had a chance to do all the rock climbing, mountain biking, and sumo wrestling we plan on using this watch for, but we already feel stronger, smarter, more aware of the outside temperature, and way better looking. After we take on a crew of zombie Nazis, ride in a barrel over Niagara Falls, and spend 24 hours encased in ice, we’ll let you know how it holds up. Until then, enjoy the pics.”
