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

Tick Tock, the sound of my daughter's first watch.

Advantages: cheap, appeals to girls without being too pink
Disadvantages: not sure how durable it will be

...I have a five year old daughter who seems to be growing up at an alarming rate. She is learning all kinds of interesting things at school, but has yet to grasp the concept of "far too early to get up" it seems. However she is keen to learn the time, and I bought this watch which is called a "time teacher" hoping it would be good first watch. If it couldn't teach her that five o'clock is no time for the day to start I figured at least she would know I wasn't lying about the ungodly hour she starts the day at times. I plan to return the favour when she is 16 or so. What you get: This watch came in a rather unassuming red box for a quite inexpensive £10.38. It came with instructions which informed me that the watch had a backlight once the winder is pressed. The strap is made of a stretchy elastic and brightly patterned as you...

Review of Timex Carabena 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 Carabena Watch

A watch for the 21st century

Advantages: Technical features, no batteries, accurate, good looking, Japanese
Disadvantages: None at present

...I once took my battery operated watch to a well known high street jeweller to have the battery replaced, I was told it would only take 5 minutes & cost £4.99, it actually took 30 minutes & cost me £9.99 as they had problems with the battery. When I took it home the small stop watch function wouldn't work & the built in alarm didn't work either. I took it back & explained it was OK before they touched it, but they refused to accept liability so I was left with a watch that never worked properly again. On another occasion another jeweller presented with a different watch stated that the movement was faulty & would cost approx £75.00 to replace, I left the shop & purchased a battery for 99p from Maplin, fitted it myself (this one had a small slot on the back to access the battery) & has worked perfectly since. To say I have lost faith...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

The environment friendly watch

Advantages: Solar driven watch, no battery required.
Disadvantages: None that I know of.

...My last watch has been with me for more than 10 years. It has been reliable until the past couple of years. It started mis-behaving, require constant battery changes, (a sure sign that the watch is dying), and frequently stopping whenever I fly. So last Christmas, I decided to buy myself an eco-driven citizen watch. An eco-drive watch uses light energy to run itself. The light source can be sun (solar) or an incandescent lamp (such as in an office environment). The watch uses a solar panel, in this case, its the face dial, to convert light into electrical energy which is stored in a special energy cell. This allows the watch to last a long time without seeing any light, suitable for those of us who hibernate (Ha!); for those of us with very long winters and constantly wearing long sleeve clothes or just forgetting to charge it up...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Charming little watch

Advantages: charges constantly when its in the light
Disadvantages: i work at night and usually dont see the light

...My 'friend' decided i needed a special present this year for christmas and bought me the Citizen Ecodrive Charm bracelet watch. It's one which has been advertised quite alot in womens magazines, and it is very pretty and a bit different. The bracelet is a basic silver coloured bracelet, attatched are five small handbag charms, one is plain silver colour, the other four have stones in different design 'handbags', the colours are pink, blue, yellow and clear. The watch itself is a slightly larger handbag shapewith clear 'diamonds' around the face and a blue pearly looking face. Its pretty and sparkles nicely which keeps him as amused as it does me, but then again hes amused by some very simple things - british money for one. The second of these watches that I own is also the silver coloured version but this time has shell shaped charms...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Delighted With The Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre Watch

Advantages: fast delivery, first class customer service
Disadvantages: none to be honest

...i've recently ordered the Citizen Eco-Drive Watch for my father online and found both the product and the company i ordered from to be top class. The delivery was next day, and it was free too (which makes a nice change) and the old man really liked his present too, so all in all, a good experience. I have to recommend the company i purchased from, as i found them very helpful when i called them to find out more information about delivery, and returns policy, so thank you Mores Jewellers The watch it's self i've been told is very comfortable and feels natural when wearing, it's heavy enough due to the quality, but light enough to not get in the way. The gold remains to be as shiny today as it was when i brought the item (over 3 months ago) and the face isn't scratched, even though the watch is worn every day and not just...

Review of Citizen Eco-Drive Watch

Night Watch and Day Watch; two reviews in one!

Advantages: Two exceptional and highly original fantasy novels
Disadvantages: Not books for those looking for mindless entertainment; these are thinking fantasy novels

...NOTE: Due to Ciao not taking reviews for the Night Watch (which is the first book in the series of the same name, with Day Watch being the second) this is a review of the first two novels. If you just want to read a review The Day Watch, please skip to the second half. THE NIGHT WATCH The Night Watch is a science fiction novel written by Russian author Sergei Lukyanenko, and is the first book in the Night Watch trilogy. The book was originally written in Russian (obviously I am reviewing the translated English version), and the series as a whole has enjoyed fantastic success in Russia. It has also been critically acclaimed in other countries, including the UK, with The Daily Telegraph calling it "JK Rowling, Russian style". A bold claim indeed. THE WORLD The Night Watch is set in modern day Russia (Moscow...
