Why Choose Timex Sports Watches

The world of sports watches is a competitive one, with many different companies vying for the approval of sports men and women. With so many companies filling many different niches, it becomes difficult to justify sticking with one. But if there was one sports watch company you should go with, then it would have to be one that had a long track record of high performance. While sports watch companies come and go, there has been one that has stood the test of time for over 20 years and still holds its head up high, Timex.

Timex sport watches became widely recognised in the early 1980′s after the release of the Timex Ironman watch in conjunction with the Hawaiian Ironman event. Prior to its release, Timex spent millions of research dollars and surveyed the worlds’ best performing athletes, to come up with a watch that perfectly catered to the needs of runners and triathletes. The Ironman watch became an instant hit and to this day is the world’s best-selling sports watch. Since the early Ironman was released, Timex has hardly rested on their laurels, the company has continued to innovated and add new technologies to their flagship product. The Timex Ironman’s of today offer every conceivable feature a runner could want and yet somehow the traditional feel of the original Ironman still remains.

There are a large variety of collections under the original Timex Ironman watch. One of the more recent designs is the new Ironman Sleek collection which features an aerodynamic “sleek” style that looks amazing, but carries the tradition and reliability that the Ironman has carried from the start. Within the many Ironman collections you will find a wide range of different innovations of various characters that have been added, but perhaps the most famous was the addition of the Indiglo Night Light system, a backlighting system that provides full illumination for a fraction of the battery cost of a regular sports watch.

The Indiglo system was an instant hit and has found its way into many of Timex’s watches that fall outside of the Ironman line. One of the great things about sticking with a company like Timex is that you are investing in the millions of reasearch and development dollars the company has invested in their sports watch innovations and countless years of experience. It is also a lot easier to track down related accessories like a Timex watch band when your old one has worn out.
