Amazon.com Product Description
The Kids' Geckos Stretch Band Watch by Timex is a delightful timepiece with great design, function and playful geckos everywhere! The plastic white dial has stationary bezel around the sturdy, plastic case and features two geckos who chase each other as minutes and hours pass. The children's-length band sports green and blue geckos and is made of high-quality, Scotchguard-protected elastic, which is easy for kids to take on and off. While this watch is all about fun, with qualities like a glow-in-the-dark feature and water resistance to 99 feet, it's both practical and durable for the most active of kids. This watch is backed by 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
kids watch with lizards
very cute but useless as a teaching watch due to the fact that the size of minute (not hour) numbers are too small to see.
Not Water Resistant as Advertised
My daughter loves lizards so she loves this watch. However, we are on our second one because the first one got water bubbles in it after about a year and slowly corroded. I checked the water resistance claim by Timex and they say it is waterproof down to 10 meters. Well, it is not! The second watch got bubbles in it after the first dip in the pool. It took almost a month for the water to finally evaporate. Suffice it to say, my daughter takes her watch off before swimming now. Next watch will be one that is really waterproof since my daughter is a swimmer.
Fun and Functional Watch!
We ordered this watch and it's so cool! Great design and function. Safe for kids ( the strap is flexible & elastic) The vendor was prompt to ship and the service overall was excellent.
