3 Stars Bargain Watch – Not Unisex
This Timex watch is a real bargain, but it does have a very large works, which is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Clearly, this is too large for a smaller wrist, and accordingly not truly unisex.

The watch itself was easy to set up and has a large readable display. However, the function buttons are labeled in red against a gray background and are difficult to read. The start/stop, indiglo, mode, and set buttons are in the same locations on the dial as my previous Timex Ironman watch, so the functions were familiar to me.

Bottom line – If you have a large wrist, prefer a large display, and are short on cash, I recommend this watch. Otherwise, get the Timex Ironman.

1 Star Poor Choice
This watch is too bulky and big to wear. The price makes it look tempting but it swallowed my wrist. The size is more like a guy’s wrist watch. Would never buy again. It’s huge!!

3 Stars Not as good as my old Casio
I’m not positive mine is the exact same model as this because mine is all black, but it is a Timex unisex 30-lap Flix Ironman and my comments should apply to all in this series. Although I’m a six-foot-tall man, I have thin wrists and can’t wear a man’s watch. Even this one is larger than I’d like. One of our wedding presents was his/hers gardening gloves. I wear the hers, my wife wears the his, but I digress. Sorry to say, Amazon, but you really shouldn’t buy a watch online; you need to try them on to see if they will fit your wrist.

I wanted it as my everyday watch to show time and date and as a stopwatch for running. It serves the first purpose well, with nice big numerals, which my middle aged eyes need. I’m happy with that part. I am disappointed in it as a stopwatch, though, and as an alarm clock/timer. The biggest difference between the Casios and the Timexes to me as a runner is that the Timex watches have the start/split button in front and stop on the side, while the Casio has the front button be stop/start. On both the front button is large and easy to push (or used to be on my old Casio, although I’ve heard that’s not so true for the newer ones). But I find it almost impossible to push the stop button on this Timex. At first when I began using this for timing my runs I would fail to stop the watch at the end more often than I succeeded, thus losing the timing data. You can’t use the split button for that because 10 seconds after you press it it reverts to the continuously running mode, so you have to memorize the split time or write it down. I want to stop the time and write down the time after I get home (driving from where I run at the park).

It is so hard to stop it that I found I was twisting the bejeebers out of the band when I pressed hard enough, so I started pressing equally hard from the opposite direction (the upper left) in a pinching motion to counteract the thumb at the stop button (lower right), but that didn’t work because the Set/Recall button (upper left) would always register the push first, changing it out of stopwatch mode to time set mode and thus the stop button didn’t work as a stop but instead changed the time. Eventually I learned to prepare to stop it about 10 seconds before the end of the run by finding the tiny sweet spot between the mode button and the 12:00 position with one finger and placing my thumb on the stop button, then squeezing really hard when I reach the end. Even doing this sometimes it doesn’t stop. This is not just my particular watch with this problem, either, because I tested several in the store when I bought an identical (except purple) one for my daughter (who specifically asked for an Ironman). They all had the really hard-to-press stop buttons. For what it’s worth, she loves hers, but she’s a triathlete and uses the lap features a lot, which I don’t.

For the alarm functions, I found them really hard to use mainly due to the Occasion mode always jumping in. If you don’t use it regularly, you can think you’re setting the alarm to wake you the next morning and instead it turns out you set it to ring when it’s somebody’s birthday or some other occasion. I find it much easier (and much louder) to use my cell phone as an alarm clock when traveling.

5 Stars Great watch for the price
This watch looks great and feels really comfortable on my wrist. I bought it for a simple watch to wear when I working around the house and exercising. For the price, it is great.

I love that the simplicity of its use as well as the stopwatch and 3 alarms.

The only downside, in my opinion, is that the strap is thinner than I thought. I took some getting used to but I think it actually makes it more comfortable.

5 Stars Great value for a great product
The watch is everything I want and more. It’s simple and durable while not looking too bad either. I’d definitely buy it again in a second!

5 Stars Great little watch
I’ve used a Timex Ironman watch for the last 15+ years. When I couldn’t find the model that I had been using, I ordered this one because it had the features I wanted–big numbers, chronograph and timer, different time zones, multiple alarms and convenient buttons. BUT when it came, it was smaller than what I expected a “midsize” watch would be, and my first thought was ‘Well, let’s send it back”. Then I started playing with it and discovered now easy it is to set, to use and how comfortable it is to wear! It’s perfect for this little old gray-haired lady!!

5 Stars Great Ironman Watch
Watch came in the original packaging, it works perfectly, and got to me quickly. I use it for running outside and it’s not heavy, fits perfectly on a woman, and doesn’t feel bulky. Good buy

4 Stars Simple, good looking, inexpensive, casual watch
The title kinda says it. The watch looks like its picture, fits well on my wife’s slender wrist, and tells the time clearly.

2 Stars Look for a better cheap watch
I liked the watch as a cheap, practical sports watch with a decent alarm function. Setting the alarm wasn’t intuitive, and it was easy to accidentally activate the stopwatch, etc. But I would have lived with that for the price, because all I *really* wanted was a watch and a daily alarm reminder.

But the strap broke suddenly (with no trauma–just fell off one day) after only a couple of months of light wear. Or more accurately, the plastic notch that holds the strap on broke, which means you can’t fix it. And of course I didn’t bother to keep the packaging for a $15 watch.

I’m not being a price snob–I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $30 on a watch, but I do expect them to hang in there for at least a year. So I’m back to my old (alarmless, alas) metal watch from Target that I’ve had for 5 years. No more plastic for me.

5 Stars Comfy watch
I bought this watch a few years after giving away my Timex Ironman (to someone who needed it more than I did), trying to find one I liked as well, and I have to say this one fits the bill. It’s very comfortably sized, the band doesn’t pinch, and best of all, it’s proven itself to be very watertight, and has suffered no damage from being worn while bathing two small children.

5 Stars don’t spend a nickle
I purchased this inexpensive watch for a trip to Hawaii and a lot of snorkeling. A total waste of money. Went on the fritz the first day of being in and out of the water. Ended up in the garbage can at our rental.

3 Stars ok, but should’ve gotten an Ironman
For some reason, I assumed the sports watch would have a countdown timer, but it doesn’t. I’m not a huge fan of the timer/alarm controls, so only use this watch to keep basic time. My ironman was great – I’ll probably get one of those soon.

4 Stars Almost Perfect, Excellent watch for price
Great Watch:

1.Easy to read (Date and time)

2.Durable

3.Nice multiple functions

Cons:

1.Annoying Beep to switch functions (Timex, why cant we have option to turn off?)

2.Day is too small (Timex should have made only current day show, not all seven and highlight current day, small to read)

Great watch for the Price

Update:

I have moved this watch to be a shower watch. Is stationed on the rack. Unconfortable, on the wrist.

I purchased a more expensive Timex Flix Ironman, mainly because I could not read the day. The comfort of the new watch is wonderful, spend the extra money if you can.

5 Stars Good cheap watch
Bought this watch for running. I don’t need a fancy GPS or Heart Monitor watch, but something with an alarm and stopwatch. So far this has worked great. Durable (got it wet a few times) and comfortable for running. Exactly what I needed and the price was really good. I recommend it.

4 Stars perfect for price
Its a great watch for the price, it fits well and is pretty small on your wrist, the buttons dont always go the first time you press them but its not really a big deal. overall i would recomend the watch for a simple work out watch and it can be used as a casual watch as well. cant lose for the price!

4 Stars Good watch for the price
I bought this watch strictly for the countdown timer, which I believe are increasingly hard to find. The watch is very inexpensive, but it is well worth the money. It is easy to operate and the dial light is just right. It is tough and also very suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
