Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's a good watch. It has a bigger face than previous Ironman watches. But, it doesn't get in your way. It has a slimmer profile, which is very nice. I like the integrated watchband, which is the whole reason I had to get a new watch: the other one broke and there was no way to get it fixed (stupid Timex engineers). I like the tap mode. It is hard to work out what you have to do to make it work precisely. But, it has a backup start button, too. I have been a longtime user of Ironman. I hate the color that this came in. It either makes me look like I just got back from a rave or night club, or it makes me look like I should be a fan of Oregon State, Oklahoma State, or Ohio State (loosely). To the color I say "booo". For everything else, it's a pretty decent watch.
Also, don't be fooled: there is no wireless link to your PC or whatever. It just logs your workouts in the watch. Unless there is something I haven't found out about this watch.

Whether you're pushing yourself towards a qualifying time or a new personal best, the Timex Ironman Sleek 150-lap sports watch allows you to access information without breaking your stride. The cutting-edge performance watch includes everything a sports watch needs, including an oversized display, a huge lap memory feature, a training log, and a Target Time Pacer. As a result, you'll have an edge when training for your next sprint, distance run, or triathlon. The full-size watch's primary distinguishing feature is its TapScreen technology, which helps you keep your eyes on the trail while you run or cycle. When TapScreen is active, a simple tap anywhere on the watch face will activate the lap timers, so you don't have to fiddle with a bunch of buttons to get to the proper screen. In a sport in which every second counts, the TapScreen function is a vital tool. The watch also includes a convenient Indiglo night mode, which makes early-morning and late-night training even easier. By holding down the Indigo button for three seconds, the watch face will automatically illuminate each time you press any button.
Athletes who want to monitor their workout progress can turn to the watch's Lap Management System, which stores multiple workouts by date. The system keeps records of every lap/split and target time, along with records for your best lap and average lap speed. It also automatically stores workouts from the chronograph, letting you recall, for example, 150 one-lap workouts, one 150-lap workout, or anything in between. Perhaps the most important feature, however, is the Target Time Pacer. This feature helps you maintain your desired pace in a workout or race, so you can achieve your overall time goal. With every lap or distance segment, the watch provides audible and visual alerts to indicate whether your pace per lap is too slow, too fast, or on target. Without even a glance at your watch, you'll hear whether you're on track to meet your goal. As a bonus, the Lap Management System also recalls workout information from the Target Time Pacer, showing how much faster or slower you ran each lap and calculating your total workout time.
Other features include a 24-hour countdown timer; three interval programs, each with up to 16 interval timers with user-selectable interval labels; three alarms, with daily, weekday, weekend, and day-of-week setting options; an easy-to-read display with three lines of text; open vents in the strap to minimize skin contact and increase breathability; and hydration and nutrition alarms, which remind you to refuel at regular intervals to top up essential reserves.
