TimexMen's Ironman Triathlon Endure 30 Shock 42mm Watch

I’ve been a Timex fan for years. They are obviously not a high end watch but they work well. I wear it swimming, playing tennis, bike riding, yard work, going to the movies… every where. The watch gets beat up a bit and it keeps on ticking, lol. I like the features- alarms, timers, light etc. You can’t go wrong - buy it. Highly recommend.

This is the third running watch I've had and it's my first Timex. I've owned to Casio's before (one being a g-shock), but after finding my g-shock to bulky and cluttered, and loosing my other Casio I picked up from Walmart, I decided to look around to find a new durable running watch.I run cross country and track so going from a generic stopwatch to a 30-lap chrono watch has been sweet. The lap timer is easy to use and the display is big enough to take a glance and see my split and total time side by side. The recall feature works perfectly and you even have some room to adjust the settings to configure your lap display how you like it.My favorite thing about this Timex, is its ease of use. The only time I've had to look at a manual is when I first got the watch. The display updates as you go through the various modes to show you what the new buttons mean so there is never a question on how to set the time or recall your laps.This watch is extremely durable. It has already taken a few shots and I've swam with it on several times. The screen and body have held up nicely and I don't foresee any problems with them in the future. The strap is great also. I really like the notch that keeps the excess strap in place.The countdown timer and the alarm both work as expected. The timer has some different settings and is easy to set up. My only disappointment with the timer was that you can't set different intervals. Like if you want to run for five minutes and walk for two your going to have to invest a little more for a watch that allows different intervals. The alarm works well too, and the beeping successfully wakes me up in the morning, but I'm not a heavy sleeper so some may find it too quiet.Overall this watch is durable, easy to use, and can track splits really well. The watch is a little bulky if you are used to a more minimalist watch but for me the weight was perfect, and for the price you can't go wrong with this watch.

Great watch with perfect features, water resistant and toughness

I just received the watch. I need to say that it is good to use for workout. Firstly, I buyed a Suunto black/yellow one, very nice, but it was difficult to look at, with a lot of functions, but i was dissapointed because it didn't had a good view, regarding when you look about what time is it, because of the light. So I returned it and found out about this watch. Because I had 1 year ago a G-shock, I need to say that G-shock is better looking and maybe more resistent. I would definitely buy a G-shock instead of this one. I also like more the G-shock way of light than INDIGLO. But, now that I have it, It's impressive that it can resist on 200 m under water, but not very impressed on the other sides. The good thing is that you can see very clear what time is it. About fitting, I don't like it very much, it is nice that it has a big screen, but I taught it's a little much bigger. I need to say that I have a small wrist and it still looks a little small. Regarding his "height", being putted on my hand, estetically, I would liked it more if it would be a little larger on width. Clearly, it doesn't look so impressive, like how much is complimented on youtube. I need to say that the fact that it writes IRONMAN, makes me find it interesting. But between this watch and a CASIO G-Shock one, I would definitely choose a G-shock. I tried to give a more detailed personal review, I hope it will help you.

Love these watches. They stand the test of time, look great, are comfortable to wear and I don't have to worry about being connected to my phone while wearing it!

Amazon's listing is not very good with it's wording so this watch has gotten undue negative reviews.I've seen this model listed as both the Endure 30 and the Original 30 Shock, it has 1 alarm with 3 different modes (not 3 separate alarms), 200m WR, ISO shock resistance, (reverse) Indiglo with night mode, 2 time zones, 12/24hr time, 30 lap stopwatch, 24hr countdown timer (repeatable), and day/date (MM.DD or DD.MM). Its basically a slightly updated feature set compared to an Ironman 8-lap.This watch is great, it's got the look of the original Ironman 8-lap with modern guts. The only minus for me is it could be a little slimmer on the wrist, but I also didn't realize it was shock resistant when I bought it. For comparison, it is a few mm smaller in all dimensions than a G-Shock G2300/G2310/GW2310 series. The band is similar to G-Shocks in that it is formed/molded around the wrist but like the case it's still slimmer in the way it wears around the wrist. Not as slim as an F91W but not as massive as any G-Shock basically. The module has a better display with bigger numbers than the above mentioned Casios. With the exception of the lap memory, the G23## G-Shocks have more features, but the Endure 30 is much easier to use thanks to the display and larger buttons.If you want 3 alarms you need the very similar Classic 30. The main differences being the Classic has 3 separate alarms (not 1), occasion reminders and 3 time zones but losses the Ironman 8-lap look, the shock resistance and it's only 100m WR. The Classic seems to come in at least two case varieties (chunky or slim), two sizes and many color combinations.If you only need the Endure 30's features but want a different shape/size/style/slimmness, I believe the Essential 10/30 and BASIC Transit models are functionally the same with only different lap memories, WR, and no shock resistance.Unfortunately, Timex doesn't easily identify the actual module used in a watch like Casio, so the best way to figure out what features a watch has is to lookup the watch model on the Timex website. Of course the manuals do not always match the marketing names they have used over the years (Endure/Classic/Essential/etc), and each manual covers a few shapes/sizes of watch but just search for the model number in the manuals sections and you'll eventually find the right one. If no manual pops up right away delete digits from the right end of the model number until a manual is found, I believe those last digits only indicate slight variances in style/color that are not important to functionality.
