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.

Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law:
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES. 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.

Care of Your Watch:

Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture, if it is non-water-resistant.

If the lens becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the module.

Service of Your Watch:
If your TIMEX watch should ever need servicing, either send it to Timex addressed as follows:

Customer Reviews

A solid value...
The specs are incorrect, as the watch case is about 40mm diameter (not 48mm) and the strap is 20mm wide (not 29mm wide). The watch is also fairly thick/deep. These specs mean that it is larger than watches of a few years ago, though smaller than some of the monstrosities that are common today. I find that this size makes the time easily readable with my middle-aged eyes, but is a bit bulky under dress shirt cuffs. Beyond that, here are the pros and cons:

PROS:
1) Inexpensive.
2) Clear, easily-read dial and hands.
3) Indiglo feature - stays lit for three seconds.
4) Good luminescence on watch hands; Indiglo not necessary if the lights have only been off for a few hours.
5) Perpetual calendar feature is nice, and so far works properly.
6) A terrific leather band which has red accents to match the watch dial and seconds hand.
7) Timex claims 7-year battery life and free battery replacement (with shipping charge, though).
8) Overall nice workmanship for a watch that cost thirty-eight bucks; still a bargain at the current price of sixty-three dollars. Looks like a more expensive watch, even upon close inspection.

CONS:
1) Case is just a little too large (diameter and thickness) for my taste.
2) Minutes hand has a cutout (not sure why) which makes it just a little trickier to read, especially with the Indiglo feature.
3) Indiglo is not quite as bright as my older Timex watches, which may help explain the long battery life.

Time will tell on durability and accuracy. I have some nice old Swiss watches, so a Timex is a 'beater' to wear in the shower, the pool, while jogging, etc. After a couple years of abuse the strap falls apart, there is moisture under the dial, and I just buy a new one. I might take better care of this watch, as it seems pretty nice.

Nice Watch NOT 48mm case
Very nice watch, however it is advertised as a 48mm case which would have been great for me as I like large case watches. Unfortunately it is actually a 40mm case. I ended up giving it to my 12 year old son.

Timex men's perpetual calendar watch
very happy with the service and the product. only problem was that it was set for wrong time zone and it said not to reset watch until you have read the instructions. instructions were not included with the watch. had to go online to get them.
