TimexMen's Ironman Triathlon Rugged 30 44mm Resin Strap Watch

The one complaint I hear most often about this watch is it is harder to see in lower lighted conditions. Yes that is true BUT IT HAS INDIGLO so It is not a problem. Most of the time you don't need to turn the light on though. You usually can make out what it says even without the light. Usually if you can't see it then a slight angle change and you can see the time. If you still can't see it....it does have indiglo. It really takes no time at all to hit the button and you can see in any light condition. I have been looking at watches to buy for some time now and have looked at a lot of them. When I first got this in the mail I thought it to be small. I was comparing it to the G-shock series. The ones I was looking at the most was the XL ones. So yes it is small compared to the XL G-shocks. I have an XL watch and found that it gets in the way. When ever my wrist gets bent backwards my hand presses against the watch and restricts my movement that way. This is really the perfect size. One common complaint with Ironman's is they have started integrating the band with the watch. So when the band breaks, which they often did, the watch was useless cause you couldn't replace the band. This one has the replaceable band but still manages to have that integrated look, very nice. I really don't expect the band to break any time soon though. It feels very durable and thick. One thing about the band that I really like is at the end of the band. It has two little "nubbins" that lock in the that loop that holds the excess band in. They really work well. Every watch I have ever owned that little loop moves and releases the excess and then you have to fix it. It has yet to slip off once. All in all in is very nice watch. It works well, the price is very reasonable, The band is replaceable and durable, and the blacked out look is very nice. I love this watch.

Let me previce this review by stating that I have had multiple fitness watches including Garmin suunto Timex and Casio. This watch has some limitations and I will get to them. The first thing is the design and functionality. The picture doesn't do this watch justice. It is sleek. Small enough to not be gaudy. But large enough to look appropriate regardless of your body size. I am 6' 180 lbs and its perfect. The functionality is great. Some watches require a college degree but this watch is simple to program and switch through modes. It has a lap counter countdown timer stop watch as well as time day date etc. It also has more features that don't interest me for fitness so I won't go into them. One complaint other reviewers have stated is with the black background it can be difficult to see display. To them I would reply the top right button is a light. Push it once to illuminate the display. Problem solved. Having a black background does make the display less visible. That's obvious to me but perhaps not everyone. With that being said I only have to use the light if I'm in a dark area. In normal room lighting it is easy to see. This watch does not have GPS capabilities which other watches I've had has. Add another zero to the price of this watch and you can have GPS too. I use this watch mainly for indoor fitness inc swimming and running on an indoor track and use my garmin outdoors. This is a great everyday watch and a great price. No issues no complaints.

An updated look to the watch every kid wanted when I was growing up (next to a calculator watch of course).Wrist band is super comfy. The watch itself is light and easy to forget it is there.Indiglo backlight makes the blackout background quite easy to read.No Bluetooth, syncing, etc. to kill the battery and your privacy.Just buy it already.

I have been wearing this version of Timex watches for a decade, and they usually last me 3-4 years, but the Start/Split button on this one is very stiff which means I have to set alarms by subtracting minutes because the button is too stiff to add minutes.

I originally bought this watch a week before leaving for basic training. Given the price at the time (I think it was on sale) I wasn't expecting much and thought I just need something to get me through the next few months and then I'll upgrade if needed. Boy was I wrong. I put this thing through every field training exercise I was a part of for 5 years and it still wouldn't quit. No amount of mud, water, ice, or sweat could stop it. Absolutely no water leaked into it. No matter what I did to this thing it was durable enough to handle it. It only stopped working when I tried to change the battery and accidentally broke it myself. I immediately bought another and fully believe it'll last me another 5 years before the battery dies. Hopefully next time I don't mess up changing the battery out. All in all, the value of the product for the price is incredible. It keeps time well and is very accurate and if you do need to adjust any settings or time it is very easy to accomplish. Lastly, multiple holes to accommodate multiple sizes comfortably.

I’ve been a huge fan of Timex’s Ironman watches for the past thirty years, and I’m surprised how much I love this iteration.It’s a “black-out” watch so, of course, it’s not as easy to read as your standard Ironman, but I’ve never had any issues where I can’t read it. The numbers show up just fine in any light, but there’s no doubt they show up better in a “standard” face.The case is noticeably larger and feels bulkier than a regular Ironman, but it’s still light-weight, and it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it. The feel is comparable to an Ironman Shock watch.It’s a black-on-black larger Ironman, that looks great, and I’ve had no problems reading it in any sort of light -are the standard models easier to read? Yes, but not by a lot, and Indiglo looks great.If you want a black-on-black watch, this Iis the one to get.
