The main features of the Timex 80 series
Water resistanceIndiglo back lighting display
80’s style rubber band
The big thing to take in to account about this particular watch is that it is one of the most simple on the entire market, and that is almost always a good thing. The simpler the watch, the less likely anything is to break, which is clearly Timex’s goal here. With that being said, the Timex 80 watch is still outfitted to be water resistant, for those who seem to be a bit rougher on their watches.
The rubber band that comes with this watch is as durable as can be. Rubber is by far the material out there than can take the most abuse of any, and that is the exact reason that Timex has chosen this particular material for its watch band. The band never needs to maintained in any way, will quickly dry out on its own, and even if it does break, there are a variety of Timex watch bands available that you can easily buy and have installed in minutes. Timex offers these bands in a variety of funky colors for those who want to take a walk on the wild side, as are offered in the Timex 80 Jumbo series.
Probably the most important (and popular) feature of this watch is the patented “Indiglo” back lighting system. The brand name is exclusively owned by Timex, and is the most groundbreaking back lighting system in the entire industry. While the initial technology is derived from electroluminescence, what makes the Timex Indiglo backlighting system stand out from other manufacturers is the fact that while most manufacturers only light up the numbers on the display, Timex Indiglo watches illuminate the entire LCD display. This makes the entire process of reading ones watch while in a dark area a much more pleasant experience, to say the least. The way this is achieved is via a specialized film that effectively inverts the LCD rate of transmission of the watch’s display.
Overall, this is a fantastic watch. I have owned one for many years now and can honestly say that it is one of the best watches in terms of durability and simplicity that I have ever owned. Hopefully this review helped you decided on whether or not the Timex 80 watch is right for you or not!
