Amazon.com Product Description
Keep your sports training focused with the traditional, full-sized Timex T53151 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a 30-lap memory recall, all-day Indiglo display feature, top pusher for easy access to lap and split times, polyurethane strap, and black resin top ring within a dark gray case. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions, and 99-lap counter. It also features daily/weekday/weekend alarms with 5-minute back-up, two time zones, built-in setting reminders, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

Customer Reviews

Just Right.
This watch is the perfect size, is the optimal weight and has the best display. The watch is neither big and bulky, nor small and flimsy. The numbers are large and readable. There is green reflective coating on the inside that "illuminates" the watch without using the battery/indiglo feature. This only works in the day when there is light to hit it just right for the reflection, but never the less it is a great feature making the time come alive. The indiglo lighting is awesome and brighter and better than any of the G-shocks I own. This watch is better in every aspect than any of G-shocks I own.

What I like about this watch:

It is extremely light (compared to my G-shocks).

The numbers are all big an easily read.

It is easy to set the time, date and alarm.

The buttons are responsive and easy to push.

It is fairly stylish and has a nice design.

What I don't like about this watch:

Nothing. For the $32 I paid in store, I don't care what happens to it. Mowing the lawn...Working on the car....Running 5 miles...I use it and abuse it and am not afraid of ruining it, unlike my G-shocks. This watch is just made to be worn with its great functionality and its sleek design.

Buy it and try it. Chances are, if you are looking for an all around great watch, you won't be disappointed.

*Update 05/07/08*

After nearly 30 months of daily use, this watch has finally bit the dust. I used this watch every single day as an alarm clock. I used the indigo light every day, multiple times, more so than the average person would.

The first thing to break was the part you tuck the watch strap into. I broke after approx. 28 months of use. The little plastic band cracked. I used a heavy duty rubberband in its place.

At around the same time, the battery started to lose its power. The indigo feature lit up the display, but the time would not be shown.

Just as of yesterday the wrist band tore in half. Now the only chance for salvage is to buy a new band ($10-$15) and to have the battery replaced ($5-$10), which I will do.

The face of the watch has held up perfectly, even though I have abused it.

It is a pain to change the battery and to track down a watch strap, but the size, display, reflective lighting, etc. is too good to not keep this watch.

I'll let you know how long the next one keeps ticking...

A great running watch
I can't imagine needing more in a running watch, unless of course you need the built in heart monitor that the more expensive models offer. But as for me (an old school runner), this watch is all I need. Very happy to own it.

It's a TOOL!
I don't wear watches to look cool. I have a very real need for accurate time all day every day. I've tried the G-Shock watches and they work just fine but are so large hey hurt my wrist, especially when wearing a jacket, plus as I get older it's hard to read the little display on them.

I finally broke down and bought the Ironman and what a difference! The watch is just the right size and shape and it light and comfortable. The display is perfectly readable in just about any light and at any angle! Day, date, and time at a glance! I love it!

The buttons are large enough to be very easy to use but not so large that they push against your wrist when working. The interior of the band is very smooth and doesn't pinch at all. The buckle is nice and smooth and the strap has a very nice little locking nub on it that keeps the strap end in place.

The menus are very simple. I managed to set the watch in just a few minutes without ever looking at the instructions. I like to "hack" my watch so that the time is accurate to the second. This watch made it very easy, just set the watch one minute fast, and then set it to the seconds mode. Watch the time count down and "hack" it when the minute changes and you're all set.

It holds the time to within about 3 seconds per month, very accurate!

In short, if you need a good watch for TELLING TIME this is a great product. It may not be super cool looking but it's not bad, and for the money, you just can't go wrong.
