Timex
Timex makes affordable quartz and mechanical watches, spanning the Weekender and Expedition field models, the retro hand-wound Marlin, and Q Timex reissues, with the Indiglo backlight as a signature feature. Founded in Waterbury, Connecticut as the Waterbury Clock Company and renamed Timex in the 1940s, it operates under Timex Group, which Boston investment firm Baupost Group bought in 2020, and now runs from Shelton, Connecticut. Timex took full ownership of Swedish brand Daniel Wellington in 2026 and is expanding into jewelry via stakes in Jane Win, Pictures on Gold and JAXXON.

Does Timex run big or small?
Timex varies by piece. Choose by case diameter and strap length rather than garment sizing — the Weekender and Expedition sit around mid-size on most wrists, while Marlin and Q reissues wear notably smaller and vintage-proportioned. Timex produces watches, not apparel, so garment fit consensus does not apply; wearers instead discuss case size, with the retro Marlin and Q models widely described as small and vintage-proportioned and the Expedition/Weekender line reading as more standard on an average wrist.

Overall shape: not applicable — Timex is a watch brand rather than a clothing label.
