Timex Ironman Shock-Resistant 30-Lap

Review:

I have had this watch for about a year but seldom wear it. I have only worn it about 30 times and it still looks like new and works great except the indiglo light has stopped working. This is an apparent problem with this watch according to other reviews..comfortable, easy to read, stylishQualityWatch works great except backlight. Can't use it at night.

Review:

I love this watch. This is my second purchase of this watch and I recommend it to everyone. I never take it off. I shower with it, swim with it. I absolutely love it..Battery life, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Worn all the time

Review:

I like the style of this watch and I like the fact that it is a big watch, some of the other men's Ironman watches look too small on a man's wrist.

I don't like the fact that the "start/split" button no longer works and that the resin strap split in two and I can't, for the life of me, find a replacement strap online.

If I had the option to purchase this watch with a nylon/velcro band, I would.

I would recommend this watch to a friend based on it's looks but would caution them on the strap and the functionality of the buttons..easy to read, Rugged, stylish, Worn all the timeQuality, watch strap

Review:

I to have used Ironman for many years, as a professional lifeguard and EMS it is important the watch is both water proof & durable. My wife purchased this watch for me for fathers day this year because of the reputation of the Timex name - things have changed! the function buttons fell off almost immediately, making it impossible to use the multiple functions the glass fogs up even in humid areas (guess how often that happens) I think the only problem I havent had yet is the band breakage, but, I haven't been able to wear it long enough for that to happen..comfortable, easy to readdesign for water resistanceStill believe in the Timex name, but quality need to get back to where it once was.

Review:

My indiglo quit working after a year and a half and now my watch band is broken. The watch is useless now because I often work nights and the band is not easily replaceable if it is replaceable at all..comfortable, easy to read, stylish, Worn all the timePerformance, Quality, ValueI would not recommend Timex to a friend because I don't feel it is reasonable for my indiglo and band to quit working after a year and a half. I don't feel this is reasonable for a watch of this price.

Review:

I like my watch because it stands true to Timex's Age Old Slogan: "Takes a lickin' & keeps on tickin'". It's meant for wearing during a whole host of activities whether you work in the office, shop floor, construction site, out in the woods or in the water. I don't have to worry about my Ironman letting me down. It looks great in my work clothes or in a nice suit. If it needs a battery, let the pro's at Timex change it. Otherwise it will leak after the local jeweler changes the battery.

Review:

Great watch but the strap quality is poor. I've had to replace parts of the strap twice already..comfortable, Worn all the timeQuality, strapstrap quality poor

Review:

Pros: Accurate to within 5 seconds a month, as measured by an atomic clock. Simple to operate. Two time zones easily available. Being able to turn off unused features._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Cons: Alarms are too soft and not adjustable for volume. Customer service has never responded to a single email or phone call.

Review:

This is one of the best Timex watches that I have ever owned, and; I have owned a number of them since the early '70s. The problem with this one is getting a replacement band for it is too difficult to do. Trying to find a replacement band on line is also hard. Yet, it has been a great time piece and tool for many adventures for me..Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Value, Worn all the timewatchband replacementI have been a great fan and user for years. I still pay watches from two of the leading competitors, but; in an overall comparison by myself, I find that in considering price, function, features, durability, and styling- you can't beat the product.

Review:

My ironman has been through miles and miles of water, and a year in Iraq. Overall the watch as been has done well for the 2 1/2 years that I have had it. But it has not met the reputation that comes with the watch. I was working on my scuba certification in the pool (less than 10ft deep) and after 30 minutes the watches face fogged up internally but still kept working. The orange start/lap button has completely faded with all letters completely gone and the button starting to become transparent. The reset button cover fell off exposing the plastic button under it and just the other day the band snapped in half and not at the pin. I am an avid supporter of Ironman watches but after having the problems with this watch I am starting to look at other brands..Worn all the timeQualityMy Timex Ironman Shock 30-Lap Fullhas been through miles and miles of water, and a year in Iraq.

Review:

I have been using Timex Ironman watches for years. The first few survived the Marine Corps, then the past 15yrs in Law Enforcement. This is a good looking watch but poor quality. I have had it less than a year and the Indiglo stopped working months ago, the buttons no longer respond. I wish I could find a new old original timex..Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, stylish, appearancePerformance, QualityThis watch is a disgrase to the Timex reputation

Review:

I've been using Timex Ironman Line of watches for the last 15 years. All of my Ironmans have pretty much been through it all, running, snowboarding, rock climbing, Mt. Biking, paddling and even sky diving. My only problem was the plastic straps always break after 1 year or less. I've lost 2 Ironmans in the bay. My other Ironmans strap replacement was easier to find and replace. I'm currently using this Ironman model and the loop for the strap has already cracked and broken off. The little accent cover on the strap was already fallen off. Since this model has a unique strap it makes it impossible to replace and nobody seems to carry the replacement straps at all..durable, affordable, reliable, watertight, long battery life, featurescheap strap, no strap replacementThey are very reliable and durable watch for the price. It is the only watch that I have found that has the features that I want: lap memory, chrono, time lapse and time zones for traveling. I have owned 6 Timex Ironmans in the last 15 years and they all have work beautifully except for the nylon straps. My first Ironman finally got retired because I could no longer see the time on it from usage. My second one and third Ironman got lost in a bay due to strap failure. My 4th Ironman (Flix) was too annoying with the big button sticking out for running. My 5th one is a Stainless Ironman, but too heavy for activities. And my 6th Ironman with a broken loop.

Review:

I owned this watch for about 6 months without any issues. I took it with me on a snorkeling trip to cozumel and after the first day it started leaking. The watch has no physical damage and looks like New(read not abused). So much for 200m rating. Try under 15 feet. Stay away from the water..easy to read, ValueQualityHave been satisfied with previous purchases. This watch was the most expensive of the Timex watches I've purchased, and the poorest quality. My retailer would not warranty the watch.

Review:

Same as everyone else, I had this watch for about 9 months and the indiglo feature stopped working. Otherwise a great watch, but being able to see my watch at night was an important feature and I had to buy something else..comfortable, easy to readQualityI love timex watches and have never had any complaints until I bought this one. I am not particularly rough on my watches and the indiglo feature on this one died after about 9 months. Disappointing. I think timex should replace all of these watches for free, since so many people seem to have the same problem.

Review:

Got this watch as a birthday present from my father in February. We've been wearing Ironman for years without too many issues. Both of us coach college football and constantly are banging these bad boys around and they keep on going. That was until THIS watch. I loved the way it looked as well as the FLIX feature, and seeing as how I so rarely swim, I figured this would last me quite a while. I was wrong. This watch bit the dust while I was working the University of Florida's football camp, I think the humidity got to it. Around practice two I looked down and the screen was completely fogged over, condensation at it's finest. Once I got back to New York, I had hoped the climate change would at least make this watch still functional... Ha. The screen under the glass had bubbled and half of the LCD pixals had died. It's now like watching binary code through a beer bottle. Horrible. If you live in a dry area, go for it, but be forewarned. Must be some seal issues with this watch..easy to read, stylishPerformance, Quality, Value, takes on waterI would still recommend some, seeing as how I have had good watches in the past, but in this "what have you done for me lately" world, my most recent experience would cause me to recommend with major hesitation. Just very disappointed in this watch.

Review:

I have had this watch for 2 years now. I Am hard on my watches I break them in 6 months to a year. so I by the cheap ones that are under $25. this was given to as a gift and never had a issue until 3 months ago the small piece that holds the left over strap on the band broke. then last night the strap broke where the clasp is so i put a new band that i had laying around. going to find one that is a match for this watch and keep wearing it. i work retail so i load shelf and unload trucks move pallets I always hit the the shelf above the area i am filling with the watch and it still keeps on ticking. I would buy this watch again and will buy a timex from now on..Battery life, comfortable, easy to read, Performance, reliable, Rugged, stylish, Worn all the timeorange button lose colorthis watch has lasted me a long time. I kill a watch in less than a year this one has lasted over 2.

Review:

A feature loaded sports watch that is durable. Add to it Shock proof and Waterproof for active lifestyle. It has a Golf mode, 3 Alarms and Dual time mode too that is add-ons in this watch. The Flick Indiglo is another cool feature. Best value for money sports watch.
