TGIF: Timex Street Watches - Highland Street and Fieldstone Way

It's Friday and time again to examine the map of Waterbury, Connecticut, in search of any secrets that might lie behind the street names of some Timex watches.

• Highland Street
• Fieldstone Way

Last week, we took a look at the list of Timex watches with street names and covered the South Street and Charles Street watches.

Highland Street

Our first watch is the Timex Highland Street Watch. It's the kind of no nonsense retro watch on an expansion bracelet that your aging father or grandfather would use to disdainfully tell you the proper time to set on your fancy Tudor Ranger. It's a little larger than the South Street from last week's post and it doesn't have 24-hour numbering because your dad isn't in the service anymore.

It has a 39mm diameter case, a stainless caseback and brass case, and a stainless expansion bracelet. There is a small date window at 3 o'clock. It has 50 meters of water resistance according to the dial. You also get the Indiglo night lighting function to make this watch more readable in the evening. If you'd like to take a look at this inexpensive watch, you can find it here on Amazon.

I couldn't have a Highland Street in Waterbury, but I did find a Highland Avenue. 

Fieldstone Way

The Timex Fieldstone Way kicks it up a notch with diver-style markings on the bezel. It's a 42mm diameter quartz watch that is 10mm thick. It's very similar to my Timex Tribute Citation Florida Gators Team Watch. The watch has a textured dial and a small date window at 3 o'clock.

The Timex Fieldstone is on an attractive expansion bracelet that works well for most wearers. The watch is also available in black for cat burglars and commandoes. You can take a look at it here on Amazon.

I did find a Fieldstone Road in Waterbury, but there was no clear connection to Timex. Instead, it looked like a normal residential street.

It quiet, too quiet. Maybe that's what they want us to think? ;-)

TGIF: Is Timex Trying To Draw Us A Map?

Exploring Timex Watches with Street Names

Timex has a long and storied history stretching back to 1854 when they were founded as the Waterbury Clock Company. From their start as a clock company, they evolved into Ingersoll Watch Company, Waterbury Watch Company, United States Time Corporation, Timex Corporation, and now Timex Group USA.

Along the way, they've been an integral part of the history of many communities--particularly Waterbury, Connecticut, and Middlebury, Connecticut. It's probably not surprising that they've named many watch models after streets in those communities. Here are some of the current Timex Models with streets for names:

• South Street
• Charles Street
• Highland Street
• Fieldstone Way
• Essex Avenue
• Woodcrest Drive
• Briarwood Dive
• Main Street
• Easton Avenue 

It makes me wonder if they are trying to draw us a map. Naturally, I got into google maps to take a tour and see what I could find out. Maybe we'll reveal a grand design like something from the movie "National Treasure?" Let's take a look at South Street and Charles Street.

South Street

The Timex South Street is a straight forward economical watch with a quartz movement, a day date window, a smallish 36mm metal case, an expansion bracelet, and with current specials on Amazon a sub-$50 price tag. You can find the Timex South Street watch here on Amazon.

Only 6/10 of a mile from the former site of the Waterbury Clock Company factory complex, South Street in Waterbury, Connecticut, seems to be a working class street with a mixture of homes and apartment buildings. Checking via Grok AI and internet searches, there doesn't seem to be direct connection to Timex. But, it's an old neighborhood and it could well have been populated back when Timex was just getting started.

Charles Street

The Timex Charles Street is another straight forward watch from Timex. It strikes and classy note with gold and silver tones. It also sticks to a simple date window. It has a 35mm diameter case with a stainless streel expansion band and caseback and a brass bezel. As of mid-July 2025, this watch is 37% off on Amazon and also comes in under $50.

Our tour of Waterbury finds us driving about 1.4 miles to Charles Street. It's an urban residential street running along side Connecticut State Route 8. The road leads through another northern working class neighborhood. However, it is home to a rather impressive church: St. Patrick's Church.

I have to wonder if this exploration will lead to some important revelation about Timex or some hidden treasure.  Time will tell. I explore more of these Timex models in the coming weeks.
