TIMEX IRONMAN,
This is the third Timex Ironman I’ve purchased in about 10yrs. Both previous watches were replaced because the strap broke – I’m hoping for better with this one. In terms of the watch itself I find it comfortable to wear, generally robust (I use it for sport regularly) and easy to read. It is easy to set the time and other displays and has avoided trying to put too much functionality into any one button. The backlit function works well. In fact, it is difficult to fault this watch and I feel it offers excellent value for money.

|Clear Display, Easy to Use,
This is my first watch bought specifically for running, and it has perfectly met my needs.
I’ve had it about a month, and the ‘Flix’ system is very useful and easy to switch on and off. The display is clear, and lap features easy to use.
The only thing you may wish to consider is the 30 lap limit- I’m about to run the Paris Marathon, and as the markers will be 42km, it can’t accomodate them all- but this is a minor point.
Excellent purchase, good value, delivered 2 days earlier than estimate with super saver.

|Works well, but somewhat expensive,
I’ve used Ironman watches for years, but I needed a replacement when my last one expired (in a swimming pool, annoyingly). This new model is similar to its predecessor but fixes the annoying problem that my wrist or the back of my hand would sometimes push the buttons, for example while cycling. It’s also easier to read, though I keep thinking the annoying Ironman brand on the watch face is a squashed bug or something else stuck to it. (I wish the logo were on the same plane as the numbers so my eyes wouldn’t have to shift focus from the distracting logo, but there are other things in life I worry about more.)
The user interface is reasonable for what the watch does. Another improvement over earlier Ironmans is the display of + and – next to the appropriate buttons for increasing or decreasing the display numbers.
The watch band is secure and comfortable. My only objection is that the proprietary band attachment mechanism no doubt means when the band breaks, I suspect have to pay half the cost of the entire watch for some replacement. My biggest gripe is the price. The watch is fine but not bursting with innovation, so don’t be afraid to spring for last year’s model instead if you can find it for less.
