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
Great Time-Piece - Terrible Resin Band
The time piece on this watch is great - Lots of functions, durable, easy to read, plenty of lap memory and easy to navigate. HOWEVER, the resin band will tear or fall apart after a couple of years of use, and because the strap is built into the structure of the time piece, it is NOT replaceable. Once the strap tears, the watch is useless to you. I know this because I have already gone through 3 torn watch bands and am now on my 4th version of this watch.
This silver lining I can offer you: Timex will completely replace the watch for only a $10 fee. You mail it in to them asking for a watch band repair (which they charge $10 for) and, because the band is not replaceable, they will simply send you back a brand new watch with equal or similar capabilities. So be forewarned. I have never purchased a Resin Band watch that didn't tear and I have several other running friends who have experienced the same results.
Solid and dependable
The battery on my big 100-lap watch wore down, I put on my little dinky Timex 30-lap model, then in an idle moment I plunked for this 150-lap number, nearly identical to my 100-lap version. It arrived recently. Oboy it's heavy after wearing the little dinky one. It's also got stiffer buttons than my other Timexes. That's good. Less likely that I'll hit the lap button accidentally.
This is my fifth Ironman Triathlon in two years. Why would you want this many watches of the same general type? Well for one thing, they're pretty cheap. I lose at least one watch a year. For another, you always have a backup. They all have two time-zone settings and various alarms--great for travel. But mostly I like the familiar function menu of the Ironman Triathlon buttons. Southwest button changes display, southeast stops/resets, northeast is the light, northwest recalls your laps. This system has remained the same for many years. Even if my brain forgets the sequence, my hand remembers.
General recommendation for athletic watches: always go for the big display and the maximum number of laps.
Great Watch
I really like this watch, I use it on a daily base whether to go running, biking or swimming! I like the straps because they are sturdy and durable, i also like how easy it is to navigate through the menu. The only thing I dont like about it is the target time feature, i set my target time and i begin my workout, but i get weird times...other than that I love this watch, if you are looking for a great decently priced watch then this is the one for you!
