Product Description

The Timex Story

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:
If this watch develops such a defect within the one year period, it will be repaired (i.e. a new or thoroughly reconditioned and inspected module will be installed or replaced and a watch of equal value and similar appearance will be supplied) at our option, provided it is returned with a $7.00 check or money order to cover costs of postage, handling, and service, and you provide proof of purchase and date of purchase.

This Limited Warranty Does Not Cover:

  • Timex will not repair defects relating to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation.
  • Timex will not provide any warranty service if your watch shows evidence that it has been tampered with, misused, abused, or altered; for example: moisture damage sufficient to affect the proper function of the watch; damage to the case; or visible cracking of the crystal.
  • Timex reserves the right to charge you for a replacement battery, if the battery in your watch is depleted. No additional charge will be made unless the one year warranty has expired or servicing is necessary for reasons beyond our control, in which case a moderate charge will be made.
  • TIMEX IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, special, or consequential, damages, so the above exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.

    Your Rights Under Implied Warranties and State Law:
    THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES. TIMEX LIMITS THE DURATION OF ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY STATE LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.


    Care of Your Watch:
  • Avoid exposing your watch to water, steam, or other forms of moisture, if it is non-water-resistant.
  • If the lens becomes damaged, have it replaced at once to avoid damage to the module.
  • When your battery is depleted, have it replaced promptly. The particular type of battery is indicated on your caseback.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good set of features, reasonably accurate, could be brighter, April 19, 2008
    By DrZ (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Timex Unisex T5J641 Ironman Triathlon 50-Lap HI-TI Watch (Watch)
    The Timex Ironman Thriathlon Solar Dual-Tech watch is a good ana-digi solar watch.

    I bought it from Pro Sport Watches through Amazon.com and the first watch I received went bad after about a month when the mode button stopped working. Upon receiving my email inquiry they immediately shipped the replacement unit and a return envelope with no questions asked even though it was either on the verge or maybe even over the 30 day return period. If this review was only about my experience shopping with Pro Sport Watches and dealing with their service and support, I'd give them the highest rating.

    I also own the ultimate Casio Protrek triple sensor analog-digital watch which is a class (and unfortunately two sizes of thickness and diameter) above this one and many other far more expensive watches, so I'm a bit biased as I was comparing this model to the features of the one about triple the price.

    Pros:
    - Nice combination of analog and digital features (besides solar technology, this is a must have for my watches)
    - Really sophisticated attractive combination of black screen and "bright" numbers, but more about brightness under cons
    - Solar charging
    - Accurate
    - Good combination (better than Protrack) of stop watch and count-down timers and alarms.
    - Three different times to set on the digital clock, easily changed by the single or two sequential pressings of the lower start/split button.
    - Digital screen can be toggled on and off by holding the stop/reset button for 3 seconds so you have a choice of a simple and sophisticated vs technical gadget look.
    - Reasonably priced considering the features (although I would have thought twice had it not been on sale).
    - Great intuitive Timex menus (in comparison I find Casios a bit cryptic)

    Cons:
    - The digital dial is rather dim and far from being bright as on the picture
    - Either the seconds markings or the seconds hand movement is inaccurate, so you have a feeling that the dial and the seconds hand are a bit misaligned, just enough to make you wonder if everything is OK. This was the case on both the defective watch and the replacement unit, so I suppose this is a design flaw.
    - The watch itself has so many colors and letters it almost looks like a Timex billboard. The least appreciated is the word SOLAR placed above the 9 o'clock position of the dial. Besides this one there are big capital letters SOLAR at the bottom of the bezel, so I really don't understand why they had to put the same thing over the dial and lower the efficiency of the solar cell and visibility of the dial.
    - Another negative for color on my scorecard is the bracelet, which is grey plastic and even if it's quality design and seems sturdy, I'd prefer it were black just like the watch. This way it makes the watch lack sophistication and it looks a bit like a toy.

    Summary: Although a bit sophomoric design, the good combination of analog-digital features, solar technology and reasonable pricing when on sale got this watch onto my wishlist.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Nice watch, but WATERPROOFING AND ANALOG FAILED!!!, July 31, 2009
    This watch is good. The battery never runs out, the digital part is accurate, and it looks nice. HOWEVER, within 2 weeks of getting this watch the analog hands failed, and then just today the waterproofing failed in the pool, I was able to un-fog the screen by opening the watch, but the buttons are all unresponsive and the screen is dead. Contacting timex now to see if they will repair it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Cool watch. Display photo is deceptive, you'll never get that kind of visibility in real life., December 23, 2008
    By OneTrueKevin (Delawhere) - See all my reviews
    I own/have owned several Timex watches, usually love the functionality/price ratio of most of them.

    This one's a cool idea, like the dual analog/digital display, charged by light should last forever, choice of digital displays including none. Sadly, the visibility of the digital part only looks like that photo when you're in pitch darkness using the IndiGLO to light it up. In daylight (when most people run) you have to hold it at precisely 26.116798 degrees incident to the sun to even see the digits at all. Forget about it looking like that photo in the daytime. On a cloudy day, good luck seeing it at all, because it's not dark enough for the indiglo and not light enough to get your precise incident angle to the sky. In pitch dark, you'll have to reach over with your other hand to kick in the Indiglo, because this one mysteriously doesn't have the FLIX functionality.

    Also, the analog hands obstruct the digital part. Eg, if you run around noon you won't be able to see the top digital display, or around 5:30/6:30 good luck seeing the bottom one. Annoying if you rely on splits in either one.

    Also agree with other reviewers [elsewhere] that the placement of the SOLAR logo on the face at 9:00 is unnecessarily large and downright annoying because at first glance you'll think one of the analog hands is at the 9:00 position. Monster logo should be around the edge of the dial somewhere.

    Close, but not quite.
