Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Help teach your child to tell time with the Timex T71122 Time Teacher watch, which features labeled and color-differentiated hour and minute hands and a color differentiated dial with "to" and "past" markings. This quartz analog watch features a small car that rotates around the dial with the hands and a comfortable elastic fabric strap (for better dirt and stain resistance) with red and green cars against a black base. This watch also offers water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet) and durable red resin case. It's recommended for children ages 6 and older.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching Time, September 28, 2008

By	Jennifer A. Ebeck - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this watch for my young grandson on his 4th Birthday. With the help of his mother and the marked hands on the watch he is already telling time. The hands are marked to show him which is the minute hand and which is the hour hand, how to tell it is 15 minutes past or 15 minutes to etc. He loves his watch and is very proud that he is telling time in only a short time that his mother has been teaching him.

A great buy for a child who wants to tell the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timex watch is great!, July 17, 2008

By	Danelle Jones (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The band is stretchy and fits any wrist. My grandson, 2 1/2 years old, is enjoying learning about time. It has a hour, minute and second hand, all in different colors so it is easy to distinguish each. The little car attached to the second hand does not block the view of the numbers. Other watches have something attached to the second hand that blocks the view of the numbers. I wanted my grandson to be able to see all the numbers all the time.

A great purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars great first watch, March 3, 2009

By	Joe'sMom (Ayer, MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

My son is 4, and may be a little young to start learning to tell time. But he really wanted a watch, so grandma bought him this one last Christmas.

This watch has all the elements of a great beginner time piece. First, I LOVE that it is not digital. It was hard to find a kids watch with an actual clock face. The Hour and Minute hands are labeled and colored differently. The second hand and little red car travel around the watch to count down the seconds. The watch face itself is divided in half to separate "Past" and "To", to help kids more easily distinguish between (for example) "quarter past" the hour vs "quarter til" the hour. The band is stretchy stain and water resistant fabric which helps with sizing and protects against the rough and tumble life of an active kids. And, my son's most favorite feature, the indiglo light up face!

This watch is well made, and the band is designed with colorful cars and trucks. And you can't go wrong with Timex.

I would probably recommend this for kids a little older than my son. While he loves it and wears it often, I think it something he will definitely grow into in a couple of years.
