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
LOVE IT!
I love love love love love it! I got it this morning just before my workout. It's so much more convenient that trying to see/reach iPod in my armband. It is going to make life so much easier while working out. Thank you Timex!
EDITED: I still love how this watch works when I'm working out...however the band gets dirty very easily and I can't get it clean!! I'll get a black one next time.
excellent but not in pink
The watch is fantastic, the iPod control feature works perfectly but DON'T GET THE PINK. It gets filthy looking.
Overall great watch with a few issues...
I connected this watch to my iPod Nano while sitting in my living room and it worked flawlessly. I was able to adjust volume and move forward or backward one song. It fit well and was not too big or bulky. The watch functions worked great, although I would have loved to have a pedometer built in also.
The issues:
* Once I put the iPod in my arm band the iPod functions were not as dependable. It would work one minute and not the next.
* I had a hard time finding an arm band that would fit with the receiver on the iPod. It measures about 1" long and sticks out of the bottom of the iPod. I ended up putting the iPod upside down in my arm band so the receiver is actually sticking out of the top.
* The buttons are a little small so pressing them can sometimes prove difficult.
* You cannot access menus--only flip consecutively through songs forward or backward. If you choose an artist or an album, you're stuck with that album your entire run, as you can't change to a different album or artist.
Overall it seems to function well with the above issues in mind. With the cold weather I have not been able to really take it through its paces, but I will report back once I am able to get out there for a run!
