Timex Men's T5K413 Ironman 30-Lap Mega Black Case Black Fastwrap Strap Sports Watch Review

I've been a fan of Timex watches for most of my life, paying about $30 for one in the 1960s, and that hasn't changed at all in 2010 because I'm still paying about $30 for my Timex watches. It is a rare case indeed when the quality of a product continually improves over several decades while the price remains the same. And as John Cameron Swayze would say in those live ads during the early years of TV, "Timex takes a lickin and keeps on tickin".
The MEGA deserves a good review after I have been using it for a while. You might also see it advertized as the "Oversize" because most distinctive about this design is its size, so tagging it with the name MEGA is entirely justified. It is massive in comparison to most of the other Ironman series of watches, and what seemed at first to be just another unnecessary Ironman 30 Lap design has turned out to be one of my favorites for all-around wearing. This new design keeps the clockworks of the standard size 30 Lap Ironman watches, it counts up and down, programs the same, has several alarms, and of course, it has the Indigo night light that works so well.
This is one of five different versions of the Mega available in the USA, and the only one with a Fastwrap Velcro wristband with blue striping and a matching blue bezel. Velcro wristbands are a favorite among many athletes and when it wears out, it can be replaced with either an identical factory band or one that is made of urethane rubber.
Overall, the Mega is a good choice for runners in need of a new 30 lap Ironman who can appreciate having a watch that is distinctively larger and what I would consider to be much better in appearances over the others of standard or mid size Ironman dimensions.

Timex Unisex T5G271 Ironman 30-Lap Watch Review

It is hard to find a watch that is sporty, can fit smaller wrists, and is functional but not too big. The face on this Timex is bigger and easier to read. The feature that is really neat is the Indiglo light that can be turned on with a flick of your wrist.

Timex Men's T5E261 Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch Review

I needed to replace another Timex Ironman 100 lap watch I had purchased a few years back (the rubber frame that holds the strap broke). Really liked this watch because of the large readout, ease of use, lap calculation. I'm a Marathoner and novice Triathlete, so a good, simple, versatile watch is an important piece of equipment for me. After looking for over a month, I decided to purchase the Timex Triathlon 100 Lap Flix System Watch, and I'm glad I did. Great readout, easy button control (start and split are much more pronounced - great improvement) and a very sturdy velcro strap makes this a winner for me. I've already used the timer function with alarm for my swim and bike intervals, and of course the chrono function with splits is easy to read and use. This is a great watch!

Timex Men's Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch #T5E241 Review

When you search for a very long time to find a watch that actually is setup perfectly and then luck would have it you are video-shopping (window shoping on amazon) and see the perfect watch...
...then you order it knowing it just can not live up to your expectations.
I was wrong!!!
I have found absolutely nothing I do not like about this watch. It is easy to setup/encode/set/reset/learn. The face of the watch is quite large making it easy to read under stressful situations and when you just "have to know the time or date NOW." The "FLIX" system I have not used much (because I can hit a button, ok) but it seems very easy to use (simply hold down the "indigo light" button: upper right hand button) until the watch beeps, FLIX is then "enabled." You cut it off the same way. When it is "on" you simply turn your wrist with a fast "stopping action" (as if you were checking your watch fast) and the light will auto-on for a brief time.
The crono setting and lap settings are the easiest to navigate and figure out ever. The buttons actually have "labels" which show up next to them. It has never been easier to learn a fairly complex watch. For the runners among us this watch has 100 lap memory, can remember your best times, do a countdown to crono function, and it even tracks your "best lap" if you do it in series (like you simply start the crono, and hit the big black button on the front for each lap). Then at the "end" of the race you hit stop and can "save" your results and then know your best time.
I love it. It is a large watch but who cares as it is light. The strap is not cloth, something I really like as I would never wear a cloth strap and it has a nice TAB IN HOLE locking feature on the belt that I like as well (all rubber). I can not say enough about how pleased I am with this purchase.
Last but most important: Almost all watches I have seen put the date in the upper right hand corner. This makes most dates unreadable ESPECIALLY at night. Is that a 7 or a 1? Is it the 1st of the month or 7th? I am terrible with remembering the date and to put the DAY and DATE in the lower display location was utter and total genius. If you were the designer of this watch face I owe you a beer and will gladdly buy you one. The setup is perfect for those that have a hard time reading "normal" digital watch displays.
FIVE OUT OF FIVE EASY. I would give it higher if I could. Timex has a winner here folks and if you look someplace else you will either not get the cool FLIX system, not get the 100 lap memory, not get the easy to read day/date display or get some crappy cloth band. Take my word for it, if functionality, easy-to-use, and value are the things that get you to purchase something, this is the watch for you. (Oh, and it just so happens that blue is my fav color so win win for me.)
Thanks Timex and Amazon for providing a quality product which was SO good I had to break my rule and actually do a review, my first one.
