The Timex Expedition WS4 is a multifunction digital watch produced by Timex. In addition to regular timekeeping, it features barometer, altimeter, thermometer, compass, and weather forecast functions. "WS4" stands for "Wide Screen 4 Functions". [1] [2] It was introduced in May 2009. [3]
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.

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 Portugal sold/developed the following software, under the Timex Computer brand: [75] TOS (Timex Operating System) - Operating system for the FDD/FDD3000 [76] CP/M for FDD3000 - Advanced operating system for the FDD3000; Basic 64 - Sinclair BASIC extensions for the TC 2048 and TC 2068, supporting the extra video modes
The ZX Spectrum SE is a proposal for an advanced Spectrum machine, based on the Timex TC 2048 and the ZX Spectrum 128, with Timex graphic modes, and 280K RAM., [144] made by Andrew Owen and Jarek Adamski in 2000. [144] A prototype was created, and this configuration is supported by different emulators. [145] [146] [147]
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).
