Timex is known to be a high-quality yet affordable watch brand

Their American Documents collection is made in their Connecticut headquarters.

We got a peek behind the scenes to learn how Timex makes them.

Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories.

The following is a transcript of the video:

Fabiana: Think of a watch, and you think of something that tells you the time. Or maybe you appreciate it as a fashion accessory. But crack that watch open, and beneath, you unearth another world, one of hundreds of tiny moving parts that work in sync. The art of watchmaking is often machine-based these days, but at Timex, all the watches in its new collection are handmade by watchmakers who ensure each little piece clicks into place.

Fabiana: Timex manufactures watches across the globe. But for its recent collection, American Documents, it brought the craft back to the US, to the Timex headquarters in Connecticut. And the process all starts with the watch head. The watch's motor gets placed into a nest, which is like a little bed for the motor. In any analog watch, the motor helps the watch run efficiently. From there, the face of the watch must line up with the two holes in the motor. Then, with small tweezers, the hands of the watch are carefully placed and pushed down. The hands must be leveled precisely, because if they clash, the watch will stop working.

Fabiana: Next is adding the glass that goes over the face of the watch. Before the glass is added, compressed air and a cloth help get rid of any dust particles. The watch head is then flipped over, and the watchmaker uses a special fixture to insert the crown. The crown is the little knob on the side of the watch that you use to change the time.

Dave Quinlan: Next, what we'll do is put the battery in. We normally remove the batteries while we're storing the movements and while we're working on them, because we don't want them to be running for no reason.

Fabiana: After the battery is inserted, the ring support is next to be put on. It prevents anything from wobbling around inside the case and keeps the many tiny pieces where they're supposed to be. The ring has a little USA tag, which is shown in this Timex watch series. Timex began manufacturing in Connecticut back in 1854, but it didn't start with watches. The company first made clocks. Over time, production moved to different factories across the world. But Timex wanted to get back to producing an American-made watch with its new American Documents series.

Fabiana: Setting the time exactly right is a crucial step of the process. Once the watchmaker sets the time on the watch, it's left to sit for 24 hours to make sure it's running properly. From there, a laser marks the inside of the case with the date that the watch assembly started, the Timex Group logo, and the words, "Made in USA." The back of the case is then closed with a device called a case press. Timex has a reputation for being reliable because of all the tests the brand runs throughout the process.

Commercial: Yes, I'm told you can hear it, so you know it's still ticking. The lovely Timex ladies' waterproof watches can certainly take a licking and keep on ticking.

Fabiana: Before the strap is put on, the watch goes through a water-resistance test. Each watch gets marked with a document and a style number on its back, so Timex can keep track of what collection the watch is from if it needs repairs. The watches must be inspected after being assembled. I helped Dave during this part, to make sure that there weren't any scratches or markings, that everything that needed to be on the watch was, and that it was running properly.

Dave: So, we leave these on so that we don't get fingerprints on the watches.

Fabiana: Oh. All righty, I'm failing inspection. OK. Let's see how our team did.

Dave: Mine says document No. 4. Yours should also.

Fabiana: I don't see where it says that. Oh, mine doesn't say it.

Dave: Oh. So we'll have to send that one back in for marking.

Fabiana: Ooh.

Dave: Look at you go.

Fabiana: I've got a good eye. The watchmaking process is almost done. From there, the strap is attached to the watch face in the finishing room.

Dave: So, now you'll line up that small pin into that small hole.

Fabiana: This reminds me of changing toilet paper.

Dave: Yes. It's the same kind of a design.

Fabiana: The Timex watch is now ready to be shipped. When it's all complete, the watch itself is no bigger than a few inches, but what goes into it are layers of intricately placed and connected parts that perform a function we've always needed: to tell us what time it is.

32 Budget Summer Pieces Worth Buying

http://fashion-trendin.com/32-budget-summer-pieces-worth-buying/

32 Budget Summer Pieces Worth Buying

Without a little careful planning and consideration, attempting to stock a new-season wardrobe entirely from scratch is about as much fun as going to the doctor for a prostate exam. Especially when parting with significant amounts of cash.

Fortunately, we’ve done it for you (the careful planning bit, not the prostate exam) by compiling 32 of the best budget buys no man should be without this summer. Limber up those fingers and get ready to click ‘add to basket’.

Printed Swim Shorts

It goes without saying that swim shorts are essential holiday gear, but just because they’re only cracked out a few times a year doesn’t mean they deserve any less attention. This season, the best examples go after just that.

Of course, there will always be a place in the male wardrobe for tailored swimmers, but if ever there’s a time for a playful print, it’s on the beach.

Topman: £18.00

Retro Running Sneakers

If your style is more Rick Ross than Mr Ripley, we’ve got good news for your feet this season.

While we can’t imagine minimalist sneakers falling fully out of favour any time soon, running-style sneakers are picking up pace, offering a low-commitment way to tap into the retro trend.

Zara: £39.99

Lightweight, Unstructured Blazer

Blazers aren’t solely reserved for special occasions. Mixing them up with chinos and T-shirts will renew even the most tired of wardrobes.

Take your cues from the Italians and opt for an unstructured design in a lightweight, breathable fabric, which will ensure your armpits stay as fresh as your suit.

Mango: £59.99

Breton Top

Originally designed as a tribute to Napoleon (with 21 stripes to mark each of his victories), today the Breton stripe top is a triumph all of its own in the style world.

Perfect for channelling the alluring swag of the French Riviera, whether worn with long sleeves or short, as a T-shirt or as a sweatshirt, it’s a piece that never fails to look good with dark denim.

John Lewis: £19.00

Sunglasses

Nothing else offers an instant upgrade quite like a pair of sunglasses. Better yet, high UV protection (and high style) doesn’t have to come with a high price tag.

Providing they carry the CE mark (a European standard of UV protection), the examples found on the high street will do the same job as luxury names, and all for less than a round of drinks.

Weekday: £12.00

Cotton Pique Polo Shirt

For Wimbledon-worthy gear without going full-on Federer, opt for a cotton pique polo shirt this summer.

The button-down style sits happily on menswear’s centre court, capable of serving smarter looks just as well as off-duty wins. Game, set and match.

Uniqlo: £14.90

Duffle Bag

Monogrammed leather holdalls are great and everything, but they’re also expensive. Opt for a sporty duffle bag instead and save yourself some cash for the beach club.

Simple block colours can flit from nine-to-five to weekend away, all without looking like a Kardashian abroad.

Mi-Pac: £27.99

Beige Chinos

A solid pair of chinos makes for a lighter option than jeans in summer, but one that will be no less of a workhorse when it comes to getting dressed.

Opt for a pair in a neutral colourway for a classic way to ground almost any smart-casual outfit.

Marks & Spencer: £19.50

Linen Shirt

Forget everything you thought you knew, because if recent seasons have proved anything, it’s that linen isn’t solely worn by OAPs on a cruise.

By utilising the breathable fabric within a classic piece – such as an Oxford shirt – you’ll score a summer-friendly option far from the Costa del Geriatric.

Next: £30.00

Tasselled Loafers

Smart-casual can be a headache to decode, and that’s before you’ve factored in the soaring mercury.

A pair of tasselled loafers, paired with lightweight chinos, is the ultimate in-between, letting ankles breathe but still sitting pretty on the smarter end of the spectrum.

River Island: £55.00

Chambray Shirt

Blue collar threads, from trucker jackets to work boots, have long been a wardrobe influence.

But while they seem better suited to winter looks, iterations in lighter fabrics like chambray add a versatile, rugged appeal that’ll work year-round.

Charles Tyrwhitt: £19.95

Simple Jewellery

With necks unencumbered by multiple thick layers and arms free from the shackles of long sleeves, summer is a perfect time for stocking up on a few choice pieces of jewellery.

That’s not to say it’s time to put pedal to the metal, as it were. Instead, stick with restrained pieces in silver or gold in the case of necklaces, and leather or rope when it comes to bracelets for a subtle accent.

ASOS: £12.00

Espadrilles

Espadrilles, while the perfect shoe for relaxed strolls in the sun, lack practicality without a few modern updates. Fortunately, with their rise in popularity predicted, that’s exactly what has happened this season.

Look for lightweight offerings fitted with elastic gores for comfortable slip-on-and-go style and traditional jute rope soles finished with a non-slip rubber base.

BoohooMan: £12.00

Woven Belt

Of all the summer style mistakes you could make, inflicting a sub-par belt on your hard-won waistline is up there with the worst.

A woven option is not only better suited to warmer weather, but also serves as a subtle way to introduce texture to any summer look.

H&M: £12.99

Logo T-Shirt

Printed T-shirts are a summer tradition older than warm cans of beer and a poorly-advised hot dog. Yet many guys still get it wrong.

This season, ditch the floral get-up for a statement of a different kind. A logo tee is a failsafe way to level-up your basics and tap into the ubiqutous streetwear trend.

End Clothing: £19.00

Chore Jacket

Summer doesn’t guarantee sunshine – just ask any Brit. But while it’s nice to be prepared for the inevitable cold snap, no man wants to carry around a five-pound clunker of a coat.

A chore jacket is the answer: thick enough to prevent a shiver, but classic and muted enough to complement any seasonal staple.

The Idle Man: £40.00

Fine-Gauge Knit

Summer and winter wardrobes aren’t mutually exclusive. Fortunately, for cooler evenings, it’s possible to repurpose your December-friendly threads.

Owing to its natural temperature-regulating properties, a Merino wool knit is ideal for pairing with the chinos or shorts in your warm weather arsenal.

Uniqlo: £29.90

Summer Fragrance

Just as a wardrobe should be switched up with the seasons, so too should a grooming cabinet: lighter moisturisers, UV protection and anti-frizz hair products.

When it comes to your daily scent, the sweet (smelling) spot is something that swaps woods and spices for citrus and florals.

4711: £11.49

Navy Chino Shorts

Temperatures north of 28 degrees celsius render trousers impractical, but looking smart with your legs bared is not easy.

Opt for chino shorts. Cool, versatile and lightweight, the Oxbridge cut-offs retain a tailored sizzle without the scorch.

Gap: £29.95

Sandals

While flip-flops and pool sliders should be reserved solely for your holiday; a pair of sleek leather sandals is a solid choice for the city or the beach.

Seek out pared-back options in dark leather (preferably black, navy or brown), which will help effortlessly add some luxury to any summer ensemble, no matter the price tag.

Kiomi: £32.99

Cuban Collar Shirt

Bring a touch of Cuba to Cardiff, Cambridge or even Cockermouth with the shirt of the season. An ode to 1950s Americana, the open-necked Cuban collar is an effortlessly cool option for balmy summer nights.

Channel Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo + Juliet with a floral version or follow the lead of Ryan Gosling in La La Land with a subtle design in a neutral colourway.

River Island: £25.00

Invisible Socks

The only thing that should be rising when going sockless is your style stock, not a stench from a pair of sweat-sodden shoes.

Of course, going ‘sockless’ doesn’t really mean that – it means investing in a pair of invisible socks to give the illusion. As an added tip, always look out for a rubber grip on the heel to stop them slipping off.

Topman: £3.50

Washed Cotton Cap

An almost weightless way to top off weekend looks; in recent seasons the baseball cap has successfully made the transition from the bleachers to the barnets of stylish men everywhere.

Seek out soft, malleable materials like washed cotton for a fuss-free, contemporary accessory that will wear and lighten in the sun over time.

H&M: £6.99

Tote Bag

A far less sweaty alternative to lugging a backpack around on your back, a sleek tote is ideal for weekend breaks or days in the city.

A durable body offers rugged workwear vibes while additional zipped compartments and optional shoulder straps ensure it provides all the practicality of a messenger bag.

Zara: £29.99

Lightweight Bomber Jacket

A stylish way to transition from the office to the after hours, a lightweight bomber jacket sets a high watermark when it comes to off-duty staples.

A khaki green colourway retains the original Air Force appeal of the military piece, while a wind-resistant shell and ribbed trims make it an investment that can still be worn layered up well into the winter months.

New Look: £24.99

Nato Watch

NATO Stocking Number straps – more commonly shortened to NATO straps – are the perfect summer choice for your watch: lighter than steel, more breathable than rubber and quick-drying in the sun.

Which means you can still clock a stylish timepiece without the irritation of a sweaty wrist.

Timex: £59.99

Lightweight Scarf

Before you reach for the hat and mittens, remember that a summer scarf is a different beast to its winter counterpart.

Visibility, not insulation, is the point here, adding a spot of wearable colour to even the simplest of outfits.

Mango: £19.99

Pleated Trousers

Last seen on your grandfather circa 1957, pleated trousers are finally back. And in a big way.

Despite designer’s best efforts, you’ll still need to work to keep the look modern. Opt for a pair with a single pleat and tapered ankle, and style with a Cuban collar shirt or mid-weight knitwear.

Burton: £30.00

Lightweight Suit

There’s never a bad time to think about adding an impeccably-cut suit to your rotation. However, double-digit temperatures and summer wedding season make the purchase all the more pertinent.

The key to staying sharp and cool is choosing the right fabric. Look for words like cotton, linen, seersucker or a combination of these. It also pays to side with lighter colours such as stone or even on-trend pastels, as these won’t absorb the heat as much.

Marks & Spencer: £148.50

Lighter Weight Denim Jeans

When it comes to denim for summer, we have one thing to say: lighten up. And that doesn’t just refer to the wash. Consider the weight and thickness of this workwear staple, too, as anything too heavy will result in a look that’s producing more sweat than style.

More high street retailers keep their cuts below 12oz, which is perfect. But if all else fails, rip yourself some on-trend ventilation holes.

ASOS: £25.00

Vertical Stripe Shirt

Make no mistake about it, vertical stripes are currently outstripping all other prints and patterns in the menswear game.

Slick on suits, a ten on trousers, they still do their best work up top on a shirt that will get up-down looks for all the right reasons.

Burton: £22.00

Sliders

Once the pariah of the poolside, now a bona fide trend both at home and abroad — there’s no getting away from sliders.

Of course, fashion is a fickle mistress, so rather than shelling out for a designer name, look for a simple pair that comes in at less than the cost of a pina colada.

New Look: £9.99

Ranking the 10 Best Tactical Watches

Watches are a critical piece of survival gear. In first aid situations, noting the time of an injury or being able to track the duration of an illness is vital. Today, people use tactical watches for everything from basic timekeeping to assessing environmental conditions to monitoring physical stats and tracking their workouts.

There are several theories on the origin of the tactical watch. One suggests that members of the German Imperial Navy were the first to employ tactical watches back in 1880 (1). Another suggests that tactical wristwatches grew immensely in popularity during World War I (2).

Buyer’s Guide

While the need for tactical watches arose from soldiers who simply wanted to track time while both hands were busy operating machinery, we’ve come a long way in adapting these watches for many uses. Today, tactical watches are more complex and useful than ever.

Major technological advancements have allowed watchmakers to pack more advanced features into smaller packages. Rest assured in the fact that whichever watch you choose will offer more than the traditional pocket watches soldiers were strapping to their wrists during World War I!

Your selection will ultimately depend on a number of factors but in the interest of making a timely (cough!) decision, we’ve done our best to narrow things down to three distinct features: timekeeping, resistance to the elements, and environmental awareness.

Timekeeping

The primary function of a watch is to keep time. That’s no surprise. So it shouldn’t be surprising that this should be the first factor you consider when purchasing a new watch. You want the most accurate timekeeping possible and you want to ensure that your watch is going to stay accurate for years to come.

For reference, the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, or COSC (5), considers a mechanical watch to be accurate as long as it doesn’t drift more than 6 seconds per day. In contrast, the COSC considers digital watches, most of which rely on quartz movement, to be accurate as long as they don’t drift more than 0.07 seconds per day.

This is quite a large difference and if you purchase a mechanical watch those 6 seconds a day will add up over the years of your watch’s life. Some of the watches mentioned above regularly receive digital signals to update time and date accuracy. Some also include a World Clock feature that will be essential to the frequent international traveler. First things first, make sure you find a watch that is going to accurately keep time!

Resistance to the Elements

As you put your watch through the paces you want it to stand up to anything you can throw at it. If you’re a professional diver, water resistance and case security are premium features. If you’re about to embark on an Arctic expedition, low-temperature resistance is critical. Knowing what you’ll primarily be using the watch for is essential when deciding just how resistant you need your watch to be to the elements.

In low light conditions, most experienced reviewers prefer a watch that includes luminescent hands or digits as opposed to a button that momentarily turns on a display light. Being able to read time in the dark without using a hand to hit the backlight button is a useful feature. Furthermore, that backlight often flips off after a very short duration, which makes it a nuisance to continuously turn it back on when you really need it.

While resistance to certain environmental elements can be vital to your watches usability, we’re also developing watches that work with the environment. A watch like the Casio PRG-270, for example, with its ability to recharge using solar energy and save power helps to ensure that your watch has sufficient battery life when you need it most.

Environmental and Human Awareness

Here we are referring to the watch features that will help you gain more information about your surroundings, and yourself. Knowing your elevation can be essential if dealing with altitude sickness. Checking the air pressure with your watch’s barometer can be great for anticipating inclement weather. A thermometer can be handy for a number of reasons and a moon graph (like the one featured on the Casio Mudman) may come in handy for predicting tides on an extended sailing trip.

When it comes to tactical awareness and outdoor survival, the general rule is that the more information you have at your disposal, the easier your decision-making process will be. More informed decisions are typically better decisions. This isn’t rocket science, and this includes information about you!

A watch like the Polar FT60, while it may not be able to tell temperature or altitude, can be useful in monitoring your own condition in a survival situation. Knowing your heart rate and measuring fat burn percentage, while useful to your daily exercise regimen, can be vital information in an unexpected survival situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

While we hope we’ve covered a great deal of information regarding the best tactical watches and how to choose between them, we recognize that you still may have questions, so here are a few of the most frequently asked questions concerning tactical watches and our quick answers to them!

Can you explain the term “movement”? Yes! Movement is also sometimes known as caliber. They both refer to the internal mechanism of a clock or watch. This is the mechanism by which the clock keeps time, and typically includes the watch’s power source. A watch with quartz movement measures the vibrations in a piece of quartz and is often battery-powered. Watches with quartz movement are generally considered more accurate than watches with mechanical movement.

What’s the best material for the display window? In this article, we’ve mostly mentioned watches with either mineral or acrylic display windows. Sapphire is a very common mineral used in watch displays and is the second hardest and most scratch-resistant mineral in the world. It is second only to diamonds. It is also relatively affordable which explains its widespread use in watch displays.

How ‘water-resistant’ are these watches? Most of the watches we mentioned here are on the more reliable end when it comes to water resistance. According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it is not recommended to even go snorkeling with a watch that boasts water resistance up to 50 meters or less. If you’re going to be frequently submerging your watch, it is recommended to find one that is at least water-resistant up to 100 meters.

Summary

There are tactical watches out there for almost every function. Whether you’re in the military, an expert diver, or a die-hard mountaineer, a quality watch is an essential item for your survival toolkit. Aside from keeping time, you’ll find exceptional uses for all the features of a tactical watch, no matter how large or small your next adventure may be. As our technology only improves, so too do the features and usability of the world’s best tactical watches!
