The Timex Expedition WS4 in time display mode. The temperature displays 31.8 degrees Celsius while the clouds and rain icon indicates the barometric pressure trend is negative, forecasting deteriorating weather conditions ahead with possible rain. The Timex Expedition WS4 is a multifunction digital watch produced by Timex.
Timex Group USA, Inc. (formerly known as Timex Corporation) is an American global watch manufacturing company founded in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company in Waterbury, Connecticut. In 1944, the company became insolvent but was reformed into Timex Corporation. In 2008, the company was acquired by Timex Group B.V. and was renamed Timex Group USA.
The device supports all the Timex Sinclair machines, [10] coming with a cassette containing modem control software for T/S 1000 and T/S 1500 on side A and for T/S 2068 on side B. [11] It was based on the Intel 8251 USART chip and very slow (300 bit/s).
Following Timex's ZX81-based T/S 1000 and T/S 1500, a new series of ZX Spectrum-based machines was created.Initially named T/S 2000 (as reflected on the user manual [1]), the machine evolved into the T/S 2048 prototype, and was eventually released as T/S 2068, with the name chosen mainly for marketing reasons.
Timex Datalink or Timex Data Link is a line of early smartwatches manufactured by Timex and is considered a wristwatch computer. [1] It is the first watch capable of downloading information wirelessly from a computer. [2] [3] As the name implies, datalink watches are capable of data transfer through linking with a computer.

Tide range is the vertical distance between the highest high tide and lowest low tide. The size of the lunar tide compared to the solar tide (which comes once every 12 hours) is generally about 2 to 1, but the actual proportion along any particular shore depends on the location, orientation, and shape of the local bay or estuary.
Flight Simulation is a flight simulation program written by Psion and marketed by Sinclair Research for the ZX Spectrum and ZX81 home computers.. In the United States, Timex Sinclair marketed the ZX81 version as The Flight Simulator for the American version of the ZX81, the Timex Sinclair 1000. [3]
The first tide predicting machine (TPM) was built in 1872 by the Légé Engineering Company. [11] A model of it was exhibited at the British Association meeting in 1873 [12] (for computing 8 tidal components), followed in 1875-76 by a machine on a slightly larger scale (for computing 10 tidal components), was designed by Sir William Thomson (who later became Lord Kelvin).
