Amazon.com Product Description
The Timex Men's Ironman Solar Power 50-Lap Watch #T5J271 is a must-have for serious athletes who appreciate style as much as they value high performance. The sturdy resin and woven canvas strap complements a striking turquoise metal bezel. The light gray dial features bold, easy-to-read digital numbers, which show time, day, and calendar. The watch's most unique feature is its rechargeable energy source that uses natural and artificial light, so no battery change required. Among the laundry list of Ironman-worthy functions are: 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option in large digits, 50-lap memory recall, power conservation feature with Sleep Mode, 99-lap counter and a 24-hour countdown timer. The watch, which features Indiglo night light, is water resistant to 330 feet and comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty.
Timex Brand
The Timex Watch Company
Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.
The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.
During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.
The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.
One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.
Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

Customer Reviews
Watch stopped working after 2 months!
I bought this watch in mid April and by June 22, the watch stopped working altogether. It's suppose to be water resistant up to 100 meters, but mine got condensation underneath the display while I was out in the rain. Buyer Beware!
Great idea, but watch didnt hold up.
Alas,I must revise my initial review of this product.After 3months it won't recharge. Even after leaving it in my car window for a week. And the indiglo light has died. Still looks good though. Part2, After sending the watch back, the seller sent me another & it is working "swimmingly". It hasn't lost its charge after 4mths. I am now very happy with this item.
nice watch for a good price
I bought this as a replacement for my casio g-shock which would have cost more to replace battery than it was worth. I like the font size of the display time - very easy to read. I love the buttons, which are a lot easier to use than my old g-shock. When you set up items, the screen gives feedback directing your selections, again, nice interface. The indigo is great! I use it all the time to view at nite. The color is very nice looking too. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is the strap. The strap holder, has a notch on it that I guess is a design item to keep better hold of the strap. I find it makes it a lot harder to slide the strap in/out because the strap holder keeps grabbing the strap, when I just want to slide the strap thru. I wish they'd just put a normal strap holder. Other than that, it's a fine watch for the price.
