    I don't have anything to dent ISMY's dominance in the Timex world. I have owned a total of two. My very first watch, around age 6, was a handwind Timex with a stretchy Spidel metal strap. It was a kid's watch, probably pin-lever movement. I bought it for $10 at a Woolworth store in the late '60s. I took good care of it but it stopped working in the mid-70s. The dial looked a bit like this I think (I remember it numbers, not just markers.)

    The only other Timex - apart from the many that showed up with the "Project" (those don't count) was this Weekender from 2011, which I sold soon after buying.

    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    Timex model that we have owned

    I’ve owned two Timex in my life. The first was my first watch back in first grade. It was a steel case, white dial with black Arabic numbers. I believe it was a three hand (believe stick hands) though I don’t recall the color or finish. Movement was hand wind. Some of these features still are prefered by me.

    The second was a plastic indiglow digital some time in the 90’s. I remember it was tan and green with a Velcro fastened tan canvas strap. I smashed it on a tree while running trails in the woods. It was dead when I got home. I had this long before I ever heard of a G-Shock.
