The Yamaha Red Label FG5 is a worldly classic of acoustic guitars. Made in Japan and employing over fifty years of innovation at Yamaha, this Red Label series acoustic is fitted for modern-minded players seeking a reliable and thoroughly musical instrument.

Yamaha's decades in design bring them to this stellar Red Label model. Constructed with a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this acoustic plays with a rich, impressive voice. Yamaha's Acoustic Resonance Enhancement (A.R.E.) Treatment appears in this guitar. By heat-treating the tonewoods, this FG5 plays with the sustain and character of more aged woods, giving the overall sound of this Yamaha an experienced and lived-in one. This classic combination of woods is met with a scalloped FG bracing pattern to enhance projection, balance, and overall tonal color. Across this FG5, its tonewoods exhibit a vivid tonal palette readymade for flatpicking, songwriting, and much more.

An African mahogany neck joins in on the equation matched with an ebony fingerboard. Measuring to a radius of 15.75", this fingerboard plays comfortably and quickly to get inspired for long playing sessions. Onboard this Yamaha Red Label, players will notice a combination of a bone nut and bone saddle. Effectively grounding strings with steady intonation while facilitating easy string changes, these two small elements play a big part in making this guitar shine.

To top this total package off, this Yamaha FG5 is fitted with a Vintage Natural gloss finish. Open-Gear Chrome tuning machines adorn the headstock while ebony bridge pins solidify stringing. Totally, this acoustic is an outstanding example of sound and design. It travels in style with an included hardshell case for moving from gig to gig.

This Yamaha Red Label FG5 embodies exceptional, classic aesthetics and sounds for modern players. Ready for fans of vintage, well-loved acoustic sounds and fans of innovative acoustic construction, this Red Label FG5 clocks in for new, inspiring sounds.

Inexpensive doesn’t mean cheap.
Color: Black/Orange
After 10 months, zero complaints. Well, I got rid of the horrible NATO strap 🙄. That’s a personal preference. Easy to swap out to whatever you like. Keeps accurate time meaning it’s the same time. I’m not micro analyzing it and the seconds gained/lost. It has a confident look and feel and makes you feel good when wearing it. Sure it’s not high priced but it’s not cheap. Very comfortable, light and not unincumbered. If this is what you’re looking at, you’d be satisfied. Great looking, durable and simple watch. Full confidence.

Budget Seiko Prospex this is not
Color: Black/Orange
Bought this as a cheap work watch, but I guess all the budget went into the solar technology. No date adjust feature, gotta crank the crown over and over to adjust the date. (Also no screw-down crown, but that's expected at this price) Fake diver bezel. Lol why? Cringe as heck. Should of just put a compass bezel on there instead tbh. Cheap plastic crystal, scratches and mars just by looking at it. Okay NATO strap. Falls apart quickly, but it's easily replaceable with a better quality one. Decent lume on the hands, but none on the hour markers even though it looks like there is. Looks cool.

Simplicity
Color: Black/Orange
This watch was received exactly as advertised. First off the watch is economical compared to other watches that advertise the same details. I will say that I have gone through numerous Luminox watches only to be disappointed. This watch fits the bill. It does have solar cells which mean it needs to be exposed to light to keep running, not a problem. Three minutes under my surefire light I am golden. The bezel doesn't rotate actually no big deal for me. I have always required that the bezel moves not anymore after having a bezel that rotates I use it next to never. Here's why, the more I rotate the bezel the more the numbers wear off. The strap on the watch with the catches for the strap are perfect. They actually hold the watch strap in place in lieu of like other big name brands that just flop and slide. As far as everyday use goes this watch is my go to. To be honest I have purchased three. This is the only watch I will wear moving forward, yeah the glass my scratch but even the big names like the Luminox I spoke of earlier scratches too.

So far so good
Color: Brown
I have had issues with other models/variations of the timex expedition in the past, so I was hesitant to get an even more expensive version of it, but I just really liked this watch so I gave it a shot. I was looking for a new “daily driver” watch as I have a bunch of nicer, more expensive watches that I didn’t want to wear to work at a hospital. I like the solar charging feature for sure as I change my own watch batteries and it can be a pain sometimes. It’s a nice weighty watch, which I like because it feels solid, not cheap. So far it seems to be keeping time well, which is an issue I’ve had with other expeditions in the past. I really like the look of this watch a lot. It’s a sharp looking watch without being too flashy or fancy so it can be worn with just about any attire. I will note that because of the solar feature, it needs to be charged well before setting the time. I placed it under a led light for about 24 hours before setting the time and using it and when I don’t wear it I place it near a window. So far I’m really liking it, but I haven’t had it long enough to really know about long-term reliability. I will update if any issues arise.

Timex Expedition Solar a no frills fine watch
Color: Brown/Blue
The watch came uncharged. I guess you're supposed to charge the watch by exposing it to sunlight. There was no sunlight and I wasn't about to wait for any. I placed it in front of one of my ultra-bright led flashlights for about 5 hours that night. It's been working fine ever since. I'll expose it to sunlight when I see some. It's a nice looking watch, no bells and whistles but it's been keeping excellent time. I swapped out the band for a NATO which I find more dependable. The price shouldn't put you in the poor house and if it's like all the other Timex watches I've owned, I'll be happy with it.
