Amazon.com Product Description
Large and in charge, the Timex T5B941 Informer 1440 Sports digital watch features a full-sized, durable resin watch case with black top ring and easy-to-access side buttons. It features a 24-hour chronograph with lap and split timer, a daily alarm, and an all-day white reflector display for easy reading. It also offers water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet) and a black polyurethane strap.
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.
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
Good watch, no lap timer
Overall, this watch is good:
large numbers
fairly standard set of basic features (date, alarm, stop watch)
crown seems fairly resistant to scratching
Indiglo lighting is great
Contrary to the description, however, the chronograph does NOT have a lap capability; it only has a split function (2 way).
As a reminder, it does not have a countdown timer, which seems to be a common theme for many Timex watches.
Nice under $20 watch
I ordered one of these for the time I spend in the gym and on the track running, also it is a good choice if you go swimming every once in a while.
Of course, for that price you are not getting a professional sports watch like the Omega's Seasmaster, but for occasional use it's just great. It has all you need - stop watch, alarm, the nice light that Timex calls Indiglo, etc. It also comes with a black plastic strap that feels good and unlike leather is really "water-friendly". Anyway, who needs a 50m water-resistant watch if the strap can "survive" nothing more than a splash of water.
As far as accuracy - so far it's OK. I had it for 4 months now and I had to adjust it only once -- it was 2 seconds behind.
It doesn't have the fancy functions that you would find in the Casio's G-Shock series, like address book that stores 50 names and numbers or a sophisticated stop-wtach that can split times or measure per lap time, nor it has an altimeter, but then again you can get it for less then $20.
Overall, I give this nice Timex 5 stars - it's a great value watch for occasional use.
works good
For the price, it can not be beat. Easy to program. Easy to read (day or night)
