Timex Dive Watches - Affordable Diving tool
Timex are more noted for their outstanding variety of fitness watches and aerobic timers, but if you seek a cheap dive or backup scuba watch, Timex dive watches make for some surprisingly reliable and affordable offerings.
Timex dive style watches are found within Timex's Expedition watch line, a variety of watches created for the rugged, outdoor lifestyle. The Expedition dive variety was developed for water pursuits where "Expedition"-like execution is demanded. These Timex analog watches are built from whether stainless steel or titanium and are ready in a wide range of designs and dial colors, production them an enticing as well as practical accessory.
Like many diver watches, the hands, digits and markings of a Timex diver watch are coated with luminous paint, affording the watch a unique glow in pitch black conditions. The watch also features the patented Timex "Indiglo" night light. Indiglo enables one to illuminate the whole watch face at a mere fraction of the battery drain of other watch lighting systems. Indiglo is a key technology that helped make the Timex "Ironman" watch line as favorite as it is today, but don't think Timex have failed to take advantage this innovative technology in their other watch lines too.
As for visual appeal and style, you can make your own conclusions. You'll whether love the institute of a Timex divers watch or you won't. Personally I think the Timex dive style dive watches, look every bit as fashionable as the more pricier watches and without the "excessive glitz" and "fussiness". Many consumers have reported receiving compliments from other divers who mistakenly assumed they had a more costly timepiece.
Timex wrist straps are excellent to Casio's. They have a unique way to "lock" the excess strap at the end, which stops it from flapping around. The band comprises a stainless steel buckle seal that secures the sturdy resin strap in position.
Timex Expedition dive style watches are cast in a resin or stainless steel case. They are shock tested and water tolerant to 200 meters (660 feet). The watches subjected to particular water pressure testing. Each Timex sport watch is bundled with a printed study by hand and is guaranteed by a One Year Warranty. Reported accuracy of these watches are to 1 second each week.
A Timex Expedition dive watch is a great, cheap, timepiece. If you interrogate a watch for hard core scuba diving adventures, you'll probably require a more costly diving watch (this is no Rolex or Omega). But if your needs are basic, then Timex dive watches offer you heaps and will save a integrate of hundred dollars at the same time.

The History And Advantages Of Velcro Watch Straps
If you remember when Velcro first came available to the public, it came in the form of Velcro watch straps. These straps often came attached to those awful digital watches that were all the rage for a few minutes. Digital watches still exist, but you don't see them so often these days. People for some reason prefer analog timepieces and I have noticed that many vehicle manufacturers who once had digital instruments in their vehicles have gone back to using analog again.
But the Velcro watch straps remain - and rightly so. I don't know how many watches I have lost over the years because of a malfunctioning watch strap. Either the buckle comes unstitched, or those little spring bars that attached to the sides of the watch gave in, and the whole watch disappeared forever.
The first Velcro was invented in Switzerland and was made of cotton velour and a loopy cotton crocheted material - hence the name vel from velour and cro from crochet. It wasn't terribly efficient when it was first invented, being made from cotton meant it wasn't terrible tactile or durable. I can remember even back in the 70s Velcro watch straps used to act like lint rollers, after a few weeks of wear they would pick up bits of fluff from whatever you were wearing and looked pretty awful after a while.
With the huge strides made in the plastics and materials industry, Velcro watch straps today are amazing things. They last forever, are washable, waterproof, come in every different size and color imaginable, and for all those years of technology, they are incredibly cheap. So cheap in fact you can buy a Velcro watch strap to match whatever outfit you want to wear, for just a couple of dollars, and you will never have to worry about losing your watch.
Velcro is used by NASA in space suits, is used inside space capsules to secure any number of things to the walls, but still makes it easy to remove whatever it is the Velcro is holding up. Velcro is used in suits made for firefighters and those involved with dealing with hazardous chemicals, if the suit needs to come off quickly it strips off easily in cases of emergency but stays put when required - no more fiddling with buttons and buckles.
As a child we struggled with learning to tie shoe laces - it was a major achievement when you could tie your own. Now children's shoes often incorporate Velcro closures, so easy to put on and take off, without bothering mom, or falling flat on your face when you trip over your own laces!
Velcro watch straps are just a small example of what this amazing fabric can do and has come a long way since it was invented by George de Mestral in 1941. The move from a cotton-based product to incorporating the very latest polyester and synthetic fibers has improved its efficiency and durability enormously. It holds things onto walls, and keeps things in place on vehicles. I wonder if Monsieur de Mestral had any idea all those years ago that a simple Velcro watch strap may one day end up travelling to distant planets by way of a spaceship.
