It’s the perfect everyday watch, if you’re always running.
Designed to shave seconds off the clock with TapScreen Technology
and sonic alerts to help you keep pace, without breaking your
stride.
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.
