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.

Timex Warranty Information

The Basic Coverage:
This TIMEX Watch (but not any battery, crystal, band, or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation - not by the dealer from whom the watch was purchased.

What Timex Will Do:
If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period, it will be repaired (i.e. a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected module will be installed or replaced and a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $7.00 check or money order to cover costs of postage, handling, and service, and you provide proof of purchase and date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

Timex will not repair defects relating to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation.

Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example: moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch; damage to the case; or visible cracking of the crystal.

Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year warranty has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.

TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, special, or consequential, damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.

TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Customer Reviews

A reasonable alternative for a Rolex Submariner
I would like to say first that Jomashop exceeded my expectations with the processing and shipping of this order. I will most definitely order from them again.
About the watch. I love the sleek classic look. If you hold it up next to a Rolex Submariner, it is nearly identical. I have a friend who has this exact watch (only in Rolex) and he's a little miffed that I paid less than $40 for a very very simlar looking watch.
I don't mind not having a $5000 watch on my arm if my substitute feels and looks just as substantial. I would have given this watch 5 stars, but the band occasionally pulls my arm hair. I may look into replacing the band, but it's a minor inconvenience.
I highly recommend this if you don't want to pay thousands for a submariner or hundreds for other look alikes. I have always liked and gotten great things from Timex!

Perfect Watch
I like this watch. It looks like a Rolex Submariner. I think it is made in the USA because it has no label indicating it is made elsewhere. It is quartz so it is extremely accurate. It is easy to set. It is substantial, heavy stainless. It has Indiglo so you can read it when you wake up in the middle of the night. You press the crown and it lights up! I have loved indiglos for years. I used them for a flashlight sometimes. You can use the bezel which ratchets in one direction to time things. The finish on this watch is very nice. It has a glass crystal. Its true that there is no magnifier over the date. I adjusted the band using a thumbtack and a pair of needlenose. I watched a video on youtube to remove four links and it fits perfectly on my thin wrist. I bought it for 36 dollars and that is nearly thirty dollars off. I got it from Jomashop. I love this watch!

Worked fine for 5 months
I'm extremely tough on watches. The 2 watches I owned immediately prior to purchasing this one were an automatic Seiko that I wore every day for 2 years before a pin in the watch band broke and it fell onto a concrete drive way and shattered and then a Casio ecodrive watch which I also wore for about 2 years and I finally retired when the watchband on it broke. I loved the Seiko automatic, but the Casio ecodrive scratched far too easily (both the band and the crystal) and by the time the band on it broke it looked like someone had drug it behind a car.

I bought this Timex because I liked the way it looked, the price was right (I paid $50), and Timex has a reputation for being dependable.

The good: The look is clearly based on a Rolex Submariner which is one of my favorite looking watches and I'll never be able to afford a real Rolex. This Timex still looks almost as good as it did when it was new after 5 months of constant wear- it's a lot more scratch resistant than my old Casio- it shows a few minor scratches on the band, but the crystal could pass for new. It was cheap. It kept good time when it was working.

The bad: The watch band wouldn't stay clasped very well- popping open at least a couple of times every day. It stopped working after only 5 months- not sure what's wrong with it, but it's not the battery.

If it hadn't broken after only 5 months, I'd probably give it 3 1/2 stars. After reading a lot of watch reviews, I just ordered a Invicta 8926 automatic as a replacement. The Invicta cost over twice the price of this Timex, but if I can get a couple of years use out of it, it will be well worth the extra money.
