Amazon.com Product Description
Add a bold touch to business and casual ensembles with the versatile, masculine Timex T19281, which features an easy-to-set alarm function to keep you on time for appointments and dinner dates. It has a large, round silver watch case with a raised bezel featuring engraved 5-minute marks in black and scalloped highlights. The dark blue dial background is surrounded by a black interior dial with tachymeter markings in white, and it's accented by a mix of triangular and Arabic numeral markings, large luminous hands (with red seconds hand), and a date display at 3 o'clock. The wide silver stainless steel bracelet band angles down from the case and features polished highlights and adjustable links. Other features include a 7.5-year battery life and water resistance to 50 meters (165 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

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:

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

Customer Reviews

Great Features, lousy quality
I bought this watch about a year & a half ago. It had all the features I wanted: Stainless band, Indiglo lighting, water-resistant & I liked its looks. But the feature I really like is the i-control Turn n’ Pull system. It’s a really nifty feature that only Timex has, making it incredibly easy to set the time, date and alarm. In particular, it’s really easy to set it for less than an hour, for parking maters, catnaps, etc. Well, the features are as good as I thought they’d be, BUT the quality is abysmal! After about 2 weeks the alarm stopped sounding. I called Timex & they quickly replaced it. Fine & good. EXCEPT, a month later the Indiglo lighting on the replacement watch stopped working. Well, I can live without the Indiglo and really I didn’t feel like going through the hassle of returning it again. As for water resistance: Its supposed to be water resistant to 50 meters, but I never even shower with it on. However, just the other day I was setting up a new garden fountain & forgot to take it off. After being dunked in 2 feet of water for 20 seconds the face is all fogged up. It still works, mind you, but a week later its still all fogged up. 50 meters, how about 2 feet? My recommendation: If you can live without I-Control Turn n’ Pull, find another cheap watch. It’s a shame the quality’s so awful, ‘cause I really LOVE this watch otherwise!

Nice Features/Pitiful Quality
I have to agree with the person who previously reviewed this watch; I, too, purchased this model because of its range of features and cheap price. The Turn-n-pull alarm is a wonderful feature; but if you're setting the alarm for an event that is 3+ hours away, the manual turning begins to get really tedious. The Indiglo light is bright enough, but this will probably be the last watch I buy with the analog date window; I'm tired of manually compensating for changes in the month. The Turn-n-pull aspect of the alarm made me more aware of the turning I have to do to change the date. Here's the pitiful stuff: 3 months after I bought the watch, I inadvertently hit my wrist, and the watch, up against a door frame, about as hard as if you were knocking on a door. The rotating ring of the watch separated from the face of the watch. The hit was hardly enough to do that type of damage to a medium-quality watch, but I was able to snap the ring back on and start living again. 6 months after that, I attempted to set the Turn-n-pull alarm on my watch only to find that the Turn-n-pull knob was gone. I found it on the floor. I have no idea how it became separated from the body of the watch, and I stopped caring five minutes after it happened. I went to my $20 backup watched and moved on. The bottom line; the looks and features are great, I really did like that about the watch, but the quality is suspect. If you buy this watch, make sure you have a backup watch.

Great watch, horrible quality
I purchased this for my husband about two years ago. After about two months, the alarm stopped working and the Indiglo stopped working. I figured it was because I purchased it at Wal-Mart on clearance. When I found the same watch on Amazon for roughly the same amount, I bought it for my husband for Christmas. Go figure, about two months later it stopped working again. Again the same issues as before. My husband loves the watch - it has all the features he wanted and looked really nice. I'm really disappointed at this product.
