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
bud
This watch comes as shown (and arrived very quickly from Amazon). It works well and is easy to set. The only problem is the velcro band. It is not long enough to slip over my hand - I have to thread it though the slot to fasten (not easy to do one-handed). This is advertised as an adult man's watch but the band is more for a smaller person (by the way I don't have large hands - I only wish that I could palm a basketball).
Nicely sized interface, but hope your wrist is small
Pros: The user interface is strong, it's straightforward, the watch is easy to program. It has a large LED display and all features work as advertised. If I was willing to buy a larger band for this, I'd actually use it. If you're buying it for a younger teenager, they'll likely be happy.
Cons: I have a relatively average 8 1/2" wrist. If your hand and wrist are considerably smaller, this will fit you. I have to completely separate the band from the loop, which barring a better word, 'sucks' when putting the watch on. It's a flat out pain to put on my wrist. I don't bother to try to wear this watch and will give it away when I find the right person that can wear it.
But if I was 13 or so, running cross country, I'd love it.
got less than I paid for...
I wasn't expecting much for a $15 watch, but I got even less with what arrived. This is a very cheap watch in terms of quality. The band is extremely short (can't just slip this thing on and off your wrist) and stiff (making it uncomfortable for running/jogging). Its made of the type of plastic you would find on promotional watches you get for free from Burger King or Wendy's promtional tie-ins. Although extremely light, its actually bigger and thicker than one would imagine (makes it harder to run with). Because of the position of the seconds on this watch (above the minutes, not to the right...look at the pic on the site), its makes it difficult to read while running or doing short sprint intervals when seconds matter.
The pros (why it got 2 instead of 1). The indiglo fades away, so you can press the button once, keep running and it stays lit for a few seconds. For $15, I'm not feeling that bad about the purchase.
But save the $15, put in a few more bucks and get a decent watch.
