Timex Expedition For Outdoor Explorers

Advantages: Comfort, affordability, water resiliant and light weight.
Disadvantages: Compass can let you down

...Timex Group is the parent of Timex Group USA, Inc. It is situated in Middlebury, Connecticut where it began in 1854 and was known during the nineteenth century as the "Sister company Waterbury Watch". The company made their very first watch in 1880. In 1933 they made the very first Mickey Mouse clock where Mickey's hand pointed the time. They made history by being the first company to actually make a Mickey Mouse clock and I am so glad that they did. I love Mickey Mouse and nowadays there are Mickey Mouse watches and clocks galore. It was in 1879 that the company first created the wristwatch named Timex for the UK market place. Many stores stock Timex watches and you can also purchase them online. They are high quality watches that are available at affordable prices and the company has a wealth of experience. Timex is...

Review of Timex Expedition E-Tide-Temp-Compass

Time to Watch out for this!

Advantages: Great designs, child proof, night light function, good price
Disadvantages: None

...For quite a few months now, Harry has been showing a real interest in clocks and the watch that I wear all the time. He kept asking to wear mine, so I dug out an old one from when I was younger and he has been wearing it proudly ever since. When my mum asked me what she could get him for Christmas, I decided that his own watch would be the perfect present for our time-conscious child, and left the design and make of watch to her. So imagine his (and my!) delight when he opened up his present to discover this very cool Cars watch, and it was all his! He gasped and said "my special watch!", put it on with the help of Grandad and he's proudly been showing it off to anyone who will look ever since! Timex have been making quality watches since 1864, and are very well known around the world. Timex are a brand I see regularly when I look in...

Review of Timex Kids Time Teacher Cars and Trucks Watch

Stands the test of time

Advantages: Waterproof, shockproof trendy useful, shall I go on!!!!!
Disadvantages: None

...Manufactured by Timex, under the name of TMX this watch is encapsulated within a sturdy resin carabena. Allowing you to really take this timepiece absolutely anywhere. Shock and water resistant this watch has nifty little extra functions including an alarm, stopwatch, indiglo backlight, screensaver and mystery answer. Costs around £30 from good jewellers or £25 in Argos. I didn’t pay for mine; it was a prize from the cokeauction. As someone who isn’t particularly gentle with any piece of jewellery, this watch looked just the job. It cost me 8600 credits, which in real terms is 86 red coke ring pulls, and was well worth the effort. This design enables the carabena clasp to be fixed onto just about anything, from school bags to belt hooks and even onto wetsuits, if that is your thing. As someone who finds...

Review of Timex Kids Time Teacher Flower Strap Watch

Slimmer & Lighter - But No Better

Advantages: Weighs less than a cheese cracker
Disadvantages: Breaks easier than an Osteoporosis sufferer's elbow

...the disc for the next relevant part of the game. The older PSP can be heard whirring and chunking as it works its way across the Universal Media Disc in desperate search for the next scenario and Sony doubled the internal memory on the new model from 32mb to 64mb to help increase load times. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked. Like a supermodel looking for the next fix of her coke habit, it still takes just as long for the new version to work out where it needs to be as it did with the old one. Load a copy of Worms: Open Warfare 2 in to both versions and it will take just as long for the new one to reach the first menu options as the original model. The Infrared port was removed in order to lose weight but, like my old Timex Datawatch, that piece of technology has long been redundant and it was amazing it was ever included in the first...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) Slim & Lite

Growing older and still playing video games

Advantages: There's no age limit to having fun!!
Disadvantages: Some of your peers and/or your significant other may deride you, but so what.

.... Having a home computer was only a dream for most people back then, with high prices excluding most of us. But then Sinclair came out with their cheapo ZX80 and ZX81 range, which connected to your TV. I saved up my pennies and dashed out and bought a ZX81 (Timex Sinclair 1000 in the USA), with its whole 1K of RAM, and spent hours every evening playing with it and trying to write simple programs for it. Finally having saved up enough for the 16K RAM expansion pack, a whole new world opened up: the ZX81 could now play games! I eagerly bought '3D Monster Maze', the first 3D game I'd ever experienced, along with a Star Trek game, a Pong game and several others, and was over the Moon! I could actually play games AT HOME! I was the envy of my friends, who all came over wanting to have a go. Next, the first just about affordable home computers...

Review of Everything that starts with G ...

A useful watch

Advantages: Handsome design, rugged, compact, many useful features
Disadvantages: A little difficult to set the alarm, for other features you sometimes have to use the manual

...I purchased a TAG Heuer Kirium Forumula 1 watch about six months ago, and it has been a rugged, good-looking companion. After wearing a digital quartz $39 Timex Ironman for five years, I got used to having an alarm, which I consider indispensible. So after researching sport/dress watches that I could wear in meetings, etc., I decided to go for the F1 with a steel band. Being in my early fifties, I felt (and my wife concurred) that I deserved a good watch. Yes, it is expensive; I paid about $2,000 for it in San Francisco at a watch store that handled several of the watches I was interested in, so I could compare them on my wrist. I realize I could have saved $500 or more by purchasing online, but I appreciate that retailers have to pay rent and staff time, and have inventory to show customers who really need to see and try...

Review of TAG Heuer Gents Formula 1 Watch

Does more than tells the time!

Advantages: Packed with Features
Disadvantages: Big Bulky and Expensive

...it when out running or walking as you can with the timexes. On the watch function the date is shown on the secondary display. The time is shown on the secondary display in all other functions The altimeter is accurate if you have set it to a known good altitude first. It can be set to meters or feet. If the air pressure changes the height changes this can be confusing especially when camping. Waking up 220 ft higher than when you went to sleep - there are some mental gymnastics to do to track the change and retain its accuracy - try doing that on a pennine moor in February and you are lost. Coupled with the Altimeter is a device that is really useful and that is the rate of ascent/descent indicator. I know I can only climb/run at certain rate upwards. If I exceed this, I go into oxygen debt and collapse. It also gives me...

Review of Suunto Vector Watch

"Nostalgia, sex & music". And it really is!

Advantages: A rich tapestry of eccentricity and good, but obscure music
Disadvantages: A couple of weak tracks

...Cameron with a track from the "Kes" soundtrack. Early 60's jazz from Michael Garrick, more chunks from various soundtracks (eg "Blood On Satan's Claw"). I don't think there is a music track on here that is duff. The overall mood seems to be a combination of pastoral jazz and folk and experimental boundary pushing. And considering that some of this is basically just library music, that says a lot for the good quality of those old music libraries. It genuinely is rather good. Best track for me? "Negatives" by Basil Kirchin. Nostalgia: we've got excerpts from The Clangers soundtrack and also Bod. Yes, Bod. I can hear the brain cells firing up already in anticipation of that famous piccolo(?) sound we heard way back then. The Mike Sammes Singers also do their bit in this area, by giving us the Timex ad from the 60's (see my review of "Music...
