" ... The crown popped off this watch within four days. ... which then stays lit up until you pop it back out instead of turning off automatically like it should. ... "
" ... It's my own error, however, and I will make do. ... "
" ... Also, the date is now (after only two months) changing every 12 hours, rendering the date feature useless. ... "
" ... But this is the second Expedition Scout that has died -- the last one made it 3 years, this one made it just over 1 year. ... "
" ... It still works right now but I have no doubt it has already started corroding the mechanisms on the inside and will most likely quit soon. ... "

" ... After 7 days it's a full hour off. ... "
" ... A cool looking watch but the calendar quit working on the 22nd of this month and won't advance. ... That is just over a month and a half from date of purchase. ... "

" ... Button on the side broke off and went flying yesterday, can't figure out why. ... "

" ... The date won’t turn over automatically and the light quit working after the first press of the button. ... "
" ... Suddenly the backlight button began to fail, and would cease to turn off. ... This meant that any slight touch would turn it on and it wouldn't stop until you physically pulled the button back out. ... This also means that if you accidentally press the button while you're asleep you will wake up to a dead watch. ... "
" ... I was going to re-set my watch when I realized that there was no longer a crown knob. ... "
" ... The date wheel is not adjustable any more, the crown goes into position but doesn't engage the wheel. ... "
