I have two of these watches, one the band is broken so I purchased another one. I got into the lake today and now I can't read it and it is totally fogged up, suppose to be water resistant. My other I have had no problem with other than it needs a new band. Still love this product but would like help with the band and water resistant problem for the second one. Now I'm watchless :-(.Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, stylish, Worn all the timeband problem and water resistance

I purchased a Timex IronMan watch less than a year ago. Here I am again buying another one, but in a different color. The problem I had with the first watch was the strap started to pop off the buttons, not to mention the fading in the band. I was constantly pushed the strap back on. It just got frustrating so, I though I would invest in another IronMan watch. Hopefully this one will do me right and I will have it for longer that a year..comfortable, easy to readPerformance, Quality

I am a cyclist and runner and just purchased this watch a few weeks ago. I loved this watch for its intuitive use, lightweight and perfect functionality until it rained. Despite claiming to be 100m water resistant it is NOT water resistant at all. During a 2 hr cycling ride where it showered (not even rained) the inside of my watch face fogged all up which unfortunately made all the wonderful functionality of the watch moot as I could not read the watch due to all the condensation inside the watch face. Definitely not recommend to someone who is a triathlete or swims..comfortable, easy to read, PerformanceQualityNOT water resistant at all.

The watch itself is great. I've gotten a lot of use out of the lap feature and internal timers. I am extremely disappointed with the band that can not be replaced. I would like to continue to use this watch, but the face "pops" out of the band every time I do. I will not buy a model like this again because of the band..Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Worn all the time, 50 lap memoryPerformance, Quality, band designI like my watch, but it is not fair to charge so much for a watch that only has a lifespan of its band. I was very disappointed.

I LOVE this watch, matter of fact the one I have now is my second one. The watch doesn't fail, but the band does and it can't be replaced. The bands have only lasted me about a year or less which would be fine if I could replace them, but you can't find one for this watch. I'm considering a different style because of the BAD band on this one..Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Value, Worn all the timeband failsTimex in general yes, this particular watch, no.

This is my third watch of this particular style. I returned my first one after the face fogged up during every day wear, I returned my second after the straps broke, and finally I will be returning my third for the same reason as the first. The face is foggy and I am unable to clearly read the screen. I am very disappointed! I love the style, but the quality is very, very poor..comfortable, stylishQualityVery poor quality for a $60 watch!

I actually love this watch and am very disappointed that I have to buy a new one because the watchband stretched and no longer holds the actual watch. I have had the watch less than a year. I will not purchase this band style again..comfortable, easy to read, stylish, ValuePerformance, band has short lifeI like the watch itself, but would tell a friend to avoid this band style. I am sorry it cannot be replaced and even sorrier that it stretched in the first place.

I've had this watch for two years and I almost never take it off. I got it because of the lap counter for use when I go running, but I wear it all the time! It's cute and stylish while very functional. I wear it to the beach, snorkeling, diving (40 feet deep), running, swimming in the pool, working in the garden, in the shower, to sleep, to work, and even to fancy parties (by accident because I forget to take it off). Other than a few minor scratches, it is in perfect working condition. It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!.Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, stylish, Value, Worn all the time, great for small wristsI love my ironman triathlon sleek watch!

I agree, this watch is NOT WATERPROOF. I wore it snorkeling and it fogged up immediately. I took it off and by the time I came back from snorkeling the watch was dead. Until then I liked this watch, now I seriously doubt I'll buy a timex again. And that's after owning a leather band indigo for years. So disappointing..simple to usenot waterproofI kinda think that if a watch is sold as waterproof, it really should be.

I have had this watch for many years and it's performance has been excellent! Until recently when the band broke which I was very disappointed with and I don't wear it all day, only when going for a run! Because of the design of the strap it is weak around the face and is easily broken and there is no replacement strap..Battery life, comfortable, ValuePerformance, Quality, strapThe strap needs to be redesigned, choose another one with a solid strap

Review:
I started using Ironman watches eight years ago, when I started long distance running. These have all the functions I need for training. I wouldn't be without one. I've had this particular model for the past two years, and my only complaint it that the "beep" for the interval timer is way too quiet. I called customer service about this and they said that that's the way it is. It's fine if you are in a controlled environment, but outdoors, where I do my training, there is lots of other noise, especially from traffic. The interval signals can't be easily heard. Likewise in colder weather, if I'm wearing a hat, the signals can't be heard. I compensate by glancing at my watch frequently but really, that shouldn't be necessary. _x000D__x000D_My first running watch was a man's Ironman 100 lap (8 years ago)and it was loud enough. The woman's models are not. Would love if you could improve this feature!
