When it comes to men's wrist watches no one can beat Timex on scale as they are one of the largest manufacturers of time pieces. They expanded their lines from being simple low-cost watches to include high-tech time pieces that contain the capabilities of paging or even downloading computer data. Timex are highly renowned when it comes to the timepieces it produces and it is these timepieces that are distributed to roughly 100,000 outlets in the US and globally. The company of Timex was founded in 1854 and the brand is owned by the family of Chairman Annette Olsen, whose grandfather brought the company in 1942. Throughout these years and through to present day the Timex brand has produced some amazing yet low cost watches for various occasions, however there has often been a focus on sports watches as the brand continues to produce time pieces that push technology through the addition of various gadgets. This can especially be seen through the companies Expedition and Ironman lines.
Timex Ironman is actually considered to be one of the most popular men's watches of all time. This line follows the same styling as previous models where the familiar black and orange case and large screen has been around for years and has graced the wrist of millions. However with the Ironman this has been taken one step further. It's now got a more legible screen, solar power, and a robust and tough shock resistant exterior, which makes the watch live up to its name. One of the newest lines to come from Timex however comes in the form of Timex WS4. So what sets this time piece apart from others? Well for starters its widescreen shape enables you to see more information and you have an option of straps that you can place on the watch. It is also available in a range of color combinations. But getting to the more technical aspects of it, this time piece is waterproof to 50m and is temperature rated from -10 to 50C. It is fitted with a compass that contains a virtual needle that is always pointing north and a graphical display of altitude and barometric pressure as well as providing you with a weather forecast based on recent barometric trend. It has a 100-hour countdown timer and 100 hour stopwatch as well as indigo night light.
As you can see from the above two examples the Timex line has a range of time pieces available. There lines are perfect for sportsmen and men who generally spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it be camping or hiking etc. This is because the watches contain a vast amount of information that is needed by sportsmen and best of all they are all low priced. However on top of being a massive hit to people who partake in sport or outdoor activities Timex also produce watches for brands such as Guess and Versace, which demonstrates Timex aren't just for grueling activities; they are also available to suit a more formal occasion and look. Timex is a highly recognized name when it comes to time pieces and is one that will remain around for a long while; in fact I feel it will always be a top choice for a lot of men when they are on the look out for a new watch.
