User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Functional and comfortable
Bought for my husband for working around the house and he loves it. Band does not make him perspire and fits snugly.
5 Stars Some Features, Useless
This watch is great, nice big very clear display, stopwatch, 3 time zones, night mode feature, daily-weekday-weekend alarms, occasions…
How can I be reminded of an occasion is I have to actively check the occasion mode to see if theres an occasion.
Night mode makes it so no matter which button you press the light turns on, is this for when your reseting your watch during a blackout at night? is it really so hard to press the button that turns the light on?
5 Stars Great watch
Ive owned quite a few of the Ironmans from Timex and I have to say that this is one of the best.
The band is very comfortable and the base curve of the watch and band secures fits perfectly. Even easier to use than previous generations as well.
1 Star Defective Watch
After three weeks of normal use, I noticed moisture build up under the face. Being that I was leaving on a two week vacation, I hoped for the best. A runner can’t be without their watch.
While on vacation the moisture eventually shorted the watch. I invested in a new battery and had the watch cleaned.
Upon returning home, the problem has come back. Of course I am past the return window, and am getting no satisfaction from Amazon or Timex.
I am a life time runner and have owned 6 Timex running watches over the years (never a problem).
I will not be doing business with Timex anytime soon.
5 Stars just like they said it would…
i always read all the amazon.com reviews, good and bad, when i’m researching a purchase. the reviews on this watch made it clear the thing would do exactly what i needed it to do and no more, no less. i don’t NEED a GPS or a pedometer, i only need a chronometer and standard watch, to time splits and overall, up to 30 splits i think, so it’s great for marathon training. it’s [pretty] easy to navigate the screens while running, and certainly easy enough to read, even for an old metal head like me.
if you don’t need the fancy bells and whistles, go for this one. [i know you don't need them, or you wouldn't be looking in this price range, now would you?]
