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.

Can't beat it for the price
Works very well! Great value for the price. It was slow at times but that's to be expected. It seemed to track accurately and efficiently

Buyers Remorse
Watch is still laying in my bedroom since December.It was a Christmas gift.I only charged it twice but I just couldn't get it to work.A manual came with it but had to go to You Tube to watch how it works and still couldn't make it work.I am not tech-savy so maybe it's just me.I like the watch,it's not heavy or bulky,like the color also unfortunately it's not worth buying.

Complicated to work with
I had a Garmin GPS watch previously which was much easier to operate, this one lacks the intuitive features and I returned this watch. One positive note is that it is smaller then my previous watch.

Great for the price. Not entirely great for my purposes.
Pros: round shape makes it move through water really smoothly...hardly know it's there. works good for counting laps in the pool. so far, seems totally waterproof. really nice for keeping track of mileage while hiking.Cons: can't maintain GPS connection indoors (can't use GPS to keep track of swimming distance in indoor pool). some reviewers say it's not ok to swim in it. some say it is. I'm taking the risk (and so far, so good). it's REALLY big. feels clunky when not swimming.Overall: I bought this thing to track indoor swimming distances, and you can't use it for that. That being said, i CAN use it to count laps, so it's not a total loss. plus, I'm a hiker and I know the outdoor GPS capabilities will come in handy when I hike. If I were to do this over, I'd probably look into fitbits a little more closely and see if there's a waterproof one that can track swimming distances.

Timex GPS Pink Watch.
I don't mind this watch.I am just now getting into running, and I was looking for a GPS watch to track my activity. My MIL has a $400 garmin, that I knew I would NOT be able to afford...Especially if this running thing didn't turn out okay for me. Plus, I wanted a bad a$$ pink one.Seeing decent reviews, I thought this was a decent alternative.Plus, if you apply for the Amazon Visa, you get a $50 gift card. So, this watch cost me $20.I have to admit that it is a little difficult to navigate around. The manual didn't help me much. So, I looked up a video on You tube, and it was much simpler seeing someone actually DO IT.Depending on where you are, the GPS can be a little slow to load. But I've never had this issue for more than a few minutes.If you want something that is super high tech, and records every little thing, this isn't for you.If you want something that will track your time, have great battery life, and a decent amount of memory, this will do just fine.

Perfect for training!
I have been looking for a long time for a reasonable GPS watch to use when I am training for marathons. I have used several Garmin's in the past and when comparing this watch to the Garmin's I was pretty satisfied. Just like any GPS watch you will not get accurate data if you run under tree cover on a path or in the woods. However, the watch is accurate for distance, approximate pace and is easy to navigate and setup. Plus for the price it is exactly what I was looking for! I am so glad I have had it now that I am getting up in higher mileage.

The watch didn't hold a charge or work at all for me upon arrival. I guess I was shipped a lemon. It was also way bigger and taller on my wrist than I expected.

I have always run with my Garmin forerunner 205 but it recently died on me. I wanted something basic to tell me my pace, distance and have some lap abilities. I never downloaded my data from the Garmin so that inability with the Timex was of no concern. The only negative I have found so far has been that the auto laps set @ mile are not loud so I have to make an effort to look down when I think it is close. The GPS picks up quicker than my Garmin did. I find that I can run about 5-6 days without having to charge it. It has met all my expectations.

Very Current Product
Very competitive price, efficient and reasonably priced delivery, with no complications. Hopefully warranty will be hassle-free if return or repair is required.
