Overall Rating:

Retail Price: $64.95

The Timex Women’s Ironman Sleek Digital Watch is a great timepiece for women that are in the market for a sports watch that combines functionality with a feminine stylish design.

The Timex Women’s Ironman Sleek Digital Resin Strap Watch powers its time keeping features using digital-quartz movement. This makes it capable to provide users with functionality that they commonly search for in a watch such as 24 hour chronograph, and daily alarm. It even has multiple workout storage, 50-lap memory recall, on-the-fly recall of lap and splits, two interval timers, and three alarms. There’s also a two time-zone read-out, a day, date, and month calendar,

The Ironman Sleek Digital Watch’s features can be clearly viewed in the easy to read digital gray dial face. It even packs an indigo nightlight feature to ensure that you can view the display in any lighting condition.

Not content with just providing people with excellent time functions, the Timex Women’s Ironman Sleek Digital Watch also has great design, both in looks and in durability. The Ironman comes in a mineral dial window, a stationary resin bezel, an adjustable buckle clasp and 35-millimeter resin case to ensure style and protection for the elegant timepiece.

1 Star Why would anyone buy based on those pictures?
If you click to look at the pictures, they’re all complaining about it, and the cracked band, etc… ? why would anyone buy this with all of those horrible pictures there that show how awful it is?

3 Stars stylish with great functionality but not durable.
I’ve gone through two of these watches in 3 years (the fact that I bought the same one shows how much I do like them). But I think it is time to move on. I wore this watch 24/7. With the first watch, the silver paint wore off almost as soon as I took it swimming in saltwater. But I didn’t give up on it until the strap broke about a year later. I went back to Target and this was still the watch I liked most. I use it as an alarm clock when I travel, and even as a timer on occasion. So I bought another one, thinking that maybe Timex had fixed the issue with the peeling paint. But a year and a half later I’m in the same situation: the paint has partly worn off in saltwater and the strap broke.

5 Stars Good women’s running watch
This watch is small enough to be comfortable on my wrist. It has the functions I need and more.

5 Stars Ironman win’s the race!
I am very pleased with this watch. It is easy to use and the digits are easy to read, even whe running. Great features like the chrono and timer. I haven’t used the alarm yet, and may never use it but it is nice to have. I love the color too!

4 Stars Timex Watch
This is a great running watch. It takes a little while to set everything but once you get the hang of it, it is fantastic. It is really light weight. I actually forget I am wearing it.

4 Stars Cool pedometer/watch
Got this watch not long ago. The pedometer works good and the watch is stylish. It has all the functionality that you need in a digital watch. My only complaint is that the crystal is very soft. I have scratched it a number of times already, which has been a disappointment. I am hoping I can find a replacement crystal of better material, but I’ve not had time. The watch is also a little difficult to operate, but it does have an owners manual that comes with it that I haven’t taken time to read in detail. Other than that I am very happy with the purchase.

1 Star Terrrrrible Customer service at SPORTLINE
The watch seemed to function for about thirty days. After that I contacted customer service via email and telephone with no response what so ever so they are either out of business or just plain don’t care!

1 Star Returning it today
I have the same problem as another reviewer, you can’t set up the pedometer using the instruction manual given with the watch. Pressing and holding the mode button while the watch is in pedometer mode does nothing. Definitely not worth the fifty dollars. Complicated set up so far with tiny cheap plastic buttons. Also a very cheap wristband. Terrible choice.

2 Stars At least the watch works
The Sportline 955 – after setting the watch function, I tried to set the pedometer function. To do this, the instructions say “In pedometer mode, press and hold the mode key to enter the setting sequence.” This didn’t work for me. After repeating this operation several times, I found that holding the mode key in pedometer mode does nothing. Therefore, I have a watch, but not a pedometer.

1 Star Three strikes it’s out
The instruction manual for this item is unbelievable. I have a Ph.D. from MIT (no joke) and it took me 90 minutes to get through it. Even then, the sequence to change parameters takes lots of getting used to. (there are two interlocking loops of parameters.)

The bezel *is* soft and scratches easily.

The unforgivable? Today I did my first half marathon, and the chronograph function ran slow, then fast, then slow, then slow. It was totally useless. Pretty irritating performance for a big event.
