Timex is one of the most well-known watch brands. These tough watches are famous for being able to "take a licking and keep on ticking." If you have a Timex watch, the first thing that you need to do is to set the time on it. Other instances when you might need to change the time on your Timex watch are when Daylight Savings time changes and when you travel across time zones. Does this Spark an idea?
