Timex Men's T5K220 Ironman Triathlon Resin Strap Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a several Timex watches- they're not expensive and very reliable. This one was a gift and probably thats the reason why I had to keep it.
It looks really cool on photograph, but first touch will give you unexpected feelings. That "cool looking" strap is made from hardest material you would expect. There is no problem to add little bit of softeners to that composite and make it more friendly for our wrists - what do you think, Timex's engineers?!
Other than that this is very regular watch with easy interface and nice design.
After 2 months of everyday usage strap got "dirty" look. It absorbs colors or basically dirt from your clothes, gloves, anything.
Find something different... It's not worth even this small money.

The tough Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon Watch, with its lap and split-time capabilities, was designed to keep up with the most dedicated athletes as they run, bike, and swim their way to success. Constructed with a lightweight resin case, the watch includes a stationary black resin bezel and an attractive orange resin wristband with an adjustable buckle clasp. A strong mineral window shields the digital-gray dial, which displays the time along with the day, date, and month. Four function buttons frame the bezel and allow you to customize your workouts, along with the black-and-orange Start/Split button located below the dial. In addition, this digital-quartz-powered timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet (100M).

Timex Men's T5F841 Ironman 30-Lap Shock Resistant Watch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned a number of incarnations of the Timex Ironman over the years, and I was a bit disappointed in this one.
Useful new features:
* Golf scorekeeper (I don't play golf, so I can't say how well this works, but I assume some will find it handy).
* Occasion timer (I can't figure a use for this myself, but, as with the golf above, it's probably useful for some).
* Three alarms - each with a different tone.
* The ability to turn off certain modes so that you only have to cycle through the ones you actually use. E.g., if you don't use the golf function, you can turn it off and never have to see it.
* Flix function. When you set the Indiglo to "night" mode (same as previous models - hold the Indiglo button until it beeps), you can turn it on by flicking your wrist. You have to snap your wrist pretty quickly, so you look like you're shaking down a thermometer, but it's handy when it's dark and you only have one hand free (such as when driving).
What I don't like about this model compared to many previous ones are the following:
* Too thick - this watch is 5/8" thick. That may not sound like a lot until you see it. It's sometimes hard to get shirt cuffs over it.
* Indiglo is a bit weak. The watch is hard to see in twilight - the black background with light numbers only shows up well in bright light, and the weak Indiglo only helps in darkness.
* The alarm tones are way too quiet. I've slept through them twice in the three weeks I've owned it, and this never happened with any of my previous models.
Other things that I wish Timex would have changed on all models long ago:
* The Indiglo doesn't stay on long enough in "night" mode. Five seconds would be much more useful than three.
* Why can't the "night" mode be turned on or off permanently? "Night" mode turns itself off after a few hours, which is frustrating.
* The alarm tones turn themselves off too quickly. They should beep for a least a minute if they are going to be an effective alarm clock. Best of all would be for the user to be able to set how long the tones beep for.
Overall, it's not a bad watch. It's got some neat new features, but has also taken some steps back in some other areas. That, combined with the ungainly thickness, make it less than ideal. It's not so bad that I wanted to bother returning it, but if I had it to do over, I probably wouldn't purchase it again.

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
