The weird but true story of how Timex watches became fashionable again
These are the Timex watches that made the brand stylish again
A Timex chronograph watch in black with a steel band.

When I was about 8 years old, my father decided that it was time for me to start wearing a watch. He bought me a digital Timex with a rubber strap, an ideal timepiece for an irresponsible young boy. It was waterproof and durable, and most importantly, it was cheap.

These were the defining characteristics of Timex watches for men in the 1990s. The once-prestigious American watchmaker had transitioned into a purveyor of dependable but disposable watches sold everywhere from department stores to drug stores. Their function was purely utilitarian, built to keep track of time in the most straightforward way possible.
