The heads of the United States Time Corporation fully devoted themselves to lowering costs as much as possible. The Timex watch would be the cheapest watch on the market, thanks to clever manufacturing practices and those wartime innovations we previously mentioned.

Both Timex and Casio have excellent quartz modules that offer very high reliability, accuracy to within a few seconds per month and decent to good pricing. Casio has a larger catalogue, if you include its various sub-brands (e.g. Gshock, Edifice etc). So, which is better? The one that you like more.

Production. Timex Group B.V.'s products are manufactured in the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, France, India and Switzerland, often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. The group has operations in a number of countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania.

Timex is known for affordability. They make some genuinely good watches given the price. The Weekender line is considered one of the best affordable watches. They are in one of the lowest price categories with many models costing well under $100.
