My association with TIMEX dates back to my school days. My first TIMEX was a gift from my father when I was at school and it was mariner series with excellent water proffing abilities. At that time it was perfect for my age and it looked really sporty. The watch was really realiable and its radium dials were a convience at night. I used the same watch till my UG.
My second TIMEX was of indiglo series and it was ideal for rough use with great looks again. The indiglo facility was a great experience. The strap was made of cotton and it was stitched to the watch, I had a problem getting the strap replaced cos they stopped producing that model.
Finally I bought my latest TIMEX a month back. This was the outcome of a training feed back. The trainer told me its not professional to use a sporty watch at work. This made me to visit a watch shop simply for window shopping. Once again I got sticked to a TIMEX, this time its a formal watch, square with black dial. I had no plans to buy one at that point of time but a handy 25% discount made me to swipe my card. I got the same for Rs.1500/- whose actual price was Rs.1995/-.
The only thing I miss on my new TIMEX is indiglo facility which I had on my previous one. I miss it badly while driving at night. I would conclude by saying that TIMEX is fairly priced for the kind of quality provided.
