The direct descendant of our 1960s televised torture test survivors, today's Easy Reader is as durable as it is classically cool. 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. The direct descendant of our 1960s televised torture test survivors, today's Easy Reader is as durable as it is classically cool. See more

Timex Men's 'Easy Reader' Quartz Brass and Stainless Steel Casual Watch (Gold-Tone) (T2N0929J)

When my Seiko watch I had worn as an everyday watch gave up the ghost after 20 years, it was time to replace that faithful timepiece. I didn't want to spend a lot on a replacement and when I discovered that similar Seiko watches had gone up over five times the price my wife had paid for my now deceased watch, it was time to move my search for a new casual watch elsewhere. My wife suggested a casual Timex watch since I was going to wear it every day. Good suggestion. I chose this gold-tone Timex Men's 'Easy Reader' Quartz watch because I like the simple, uncluttered way it looks and also because its analogue quartz movement is easy to read. I'm getting up there in years and so simple and easy to read is important to me. I particularly like the larger black Arabic numerals, and because I am a veteran, the smaller red Arabic numeral 24-hour clock was a nice addition, too. Most of my previous watches have had a day-date calendar built into the face, so I appreciated Timex putting this feature in this new Timex watch. Another feature I didn't have on my Seiko was the nifty greenish Indiglo light that Timex included for checking the time in the dark. Just press the watch stem in and voila!, there is light. On some watches, the light will stay on until you press the stem again (or the battery dies). This Timex indiglo stays on only as long as the watch stem is pressed. I didn't see this as a problem since, in most cases, I would only be pressing the stem to find out what time it was or to read the calendar. The case on this Timex is slightly larger than the one on my Seiko. The diameter of the Timex case is about 1 3/8” (35mm). My Seiko has a gold face, gold hands, gold numerals and a gold second-hand. You can probably imagine how difficult and accurately reading the clock must have been unless there was enough light. This Timex has a gold-tone case, wristband, stem and second-hand. Like the numerals, the clock hands are also black and the watch face is a contrasting white. Even with the gold second-hand, the white face makes it so much easier for my aged eyes to quickly read the time. The watch comes with an extra long and adjustable expansion band. Unless the wrist area of your arm is quite fleshy, links will need to be removed for proper fitting. I had that done for me at a local department store that sold Timex watches; didn't take more than 10 minutes. Of course, they knew what they were doing. The watch comes with what I thought was a small, rolled up user guide in the box. To my surprise, all it included was brief information (in eleven different languages) about the watch being water resistance, the battery and the international warranty; nothing regarding actually setting and using the watch. Okay. To get the manual, I had to download it from the Timex website using the model number to ensure I downloaded the correct manual PDF. The English version of the manual is 26 pages long; it covered everything I needed to know about this Timex watch. According to the manual, this Timex watch is both water and shock resistance (not water and shock proof!). The manual says it is “water resistant up to 30m (100 feet): in plain English, it withstands splashes or brief immersion in water, but not suitable for swimming or bathing.” Setting the time and calendar was easy to do, though there was one surprise. To set the calendar day of the week (Sunday - Saturday), the clock hands had to be manually turned around and around (backwards!) until the desired day appeared in the calendar box on the watch face. That may seem easy enough unless the watch is showing Wednesday and you need it to read Saturday. That means you have to turn the hour-hand completely around the 12 on the face three or four times. That is really old school. Another task that needs to be tended to at the end of certain months of the year is correcting the numeric date on the watch calendar. Except for Feb, Apr, Jun, Sep and Nov, all of the other months have 31 days. So, when you get to the end of one of the months with less than 31 days, a manual adjustment must be made. For example, on 1 March my watch calendar read [WED 29] because February only has 28 days in 2017. For this reason I had to advance the numeric date ahead from 29 to 1 so the watch would read [MAR 1]. Just so you also know, the stem edge is very shiny and smooth, which makes turning the stem more difficult than if the stem head was notched around the edge for grip. Once I got the calendar set, I set the watch hands according to the U.S. Naval Observatory Master Clock (I did mention I was a veteran, right?). So far my new Timex watch has kept perfect time! Remember: Turn the hands "forward" (clockwise) to change the numerical date and turn the hands "backwards" to change the day of the week. If you try to do it any other way you will only frustrate yourself. UPDATE (24 March 2021): I've had this watch for four years now and it continues to keep time accurately to the minute. The Indeglo light still works fine and the watch still looks as good as new, even though I wear it often. And best of all, I have mastered adjusting the calendar!

Great design, but comes fit for a giant

As described, but so many links. Needs to be adjusted by a professional. Not like adjusting the size normal watches

Fits my needs

Three things I need from a watch... 1) Time of Day 2) Day of Week (Mon, Tues, etc) 3) Day of Month This does all of them. I got the brass one with the extra long expansion band and it fits about perfect. Any looser and it would be sliding around. It's just snug enough to stay on top of my wrist without feeling "pinchy". I like the slight curvature of the band links. Overall pretty happy with it. I like good quality affordable watches. I also have a brass Casio digital that I'm happy with.

Pratique et confortable

Le seul hic les jours sont en anglais, mais on s'habitue vite. Précise! ne prend ni d'avance, ni de retour. Facile à lire même sans mes lunettes les chiffres sont assez gros. Bracelet très confortable, ne tire pas le poils. Toute doré elle est superbe en plus d'être pratique. Je la porte jour et nuit.

Day-Date malfunction

I really like the looks of the watch but looks isn't everything. I really had to work to get the winder at at the first setting. Time is very accurate but date and day are very hard to regulate. I have another Timex day date watch that operates so much easier. I filled out application to return the watch a couple of weeks ago but have not heard anything from amazon.ca

It's for a women that likes a big watch

It's a great watch, light, bright display, easy to see the time and date. I've tried and have several designer watches and there stuck in a drawer - this one is my go to watch. Who says women can't wear big watches, and really it's not that big!
