 loving this watchJan 09, 2007
By Greg Anyan
"MemphisTriathlete"
I wanted a watch to swim laps in the pool and be able to hit a button to count them because I cant keep up with 50 laps so I called Timex. They said just get an Ironman 200m version because it was made with extra seals around the buttons so you could use them underwater and not get water in the watch. The standard Ironman watch does not have the seals and is water resistant as long as you dont hit the buttons under water. So far, it works perfectly under water and on land. Ok, so it is big, get over it. It looks like and is a sports watch. It also looks like it cost ALOT more than it does. I am using some of the features that I didnt think that I would. I use the lap counter when I lift weights to make sure I wait exactly 1 minute between sets. I use the 3 alarms in the morning as a 1. time to get up, 2. need to get up, and 3. get up now or you are going to be late for your run or bike ride alarm system. It reminded me of my wifes birthday (I already knew but at least it reminded me to say happy birthday first thing in the morning).
It is the perfect watch for a busy triathlete. It is functional, durable, and looks like a watch an athlete would wear.

Sea, Air, Land and on the Golf Course.Dec 12, 2006
By Eagle Vision
Being a 200 meter watch, its utility is in the ability to use the stopwatch underwater. The styling of a sports watch is standard - Black and brushed stainless steel. The high visibility orange buttons allows one to see it better underwater.
The strap has many notches so that the size is universal.
Features include 3 alarm settings, a timer, Event reminder, stopwatch, 3 time zones, and a Golf score.
Easy enough to use, the LED is clear. The Indiglo is different in convention from the 1st generation. Only the numbers will illuminate which do take getting used to.
Buttons are large and easy to push. The anti-shock feature lets you know it can take punishment over conventional watches. Less bulky in styling than its Casio equivalent.
The golf score allows up to a maximum of 15 strokes per hole - which I hope will not be necessary for any golfer (but a friend got close at 14 strokes). Given most electronic scorers max out at 100 this maxes at 270 strokes (No one is this bad - not even when they are 3 years old). This is a nice extra feature that is easier than keeping track of the score card and pencil when walking the course and carrying the bag on your back, as I do.
All in all, this is a solid watch with a wide range of features. I highly recommend this watch for someone with an active lifestyle - for land and in the water.

 Timex watchJul 19, 2006
By J. Roberts
"11B30"
I have used Casio G-Shock watches for a few years but decided to go with this Timex. Good looking watch with large easy to read face. Indiglo 'Flix' is a nice feature and it is easier to read than a G-Shock. But, watch is showing wear after a short time. The resin band scuffs easily and tilts the watch away from easy view. Wish Timex had alternate time/world time but the 3 alarm times are nice. Some lettering on the band came off on the first day of wear, not a show stopper but irritating. Watch looks good but I think it will be back to the G-Shock in the future.

 Looks great, but...Jul 27, 2011
By P. Leitner
I bought this watch for my dad after wearing the same model myself for about a year. His watch lasted about a month before the screen fogged up and it stopped working. I was suprised when he told me that because mine did that a few days after I gave him his. I thought my experience was unique, but even a buddy of mine with the same watch claimed he had issues.
I've always worn Timex Ironman watches. I've probably owned at least 6 or 7. They typically work well and look great without being too bulky. Unfortunately, after this experience and realizing that the last two pairs I have used before this one didn't last more than 2 years either, I think I may look around for other options. Some may say I shouldn't expect a watch to last more than 2 years... but I do expect more from Timex, especially if they are going to use the Ironman label on it.

Great Runner's Companion and Utility WatchMar 05, 2011
By Marek Gorzelski
I bought this watch two months ago, and it's been great. All is working perfectly, no premature wear, and nothing has broken. I left it in a glass of water for a couple of hours, and it passed that test easily.
The two main reasons I got this Ironman was the shock resistance and lap counter with memory recall. I looked all over for another watch with a lap counter memory, and it seems that the Timex Ironman is the only watchmaker providing this feature.
I had the whole watch figured out in about 10 minutes without reading the instructions. The chronometer and lap counter are user-friendly, and are awesome for recording lap times at the track. The buttons are well placed for easy operation while running, and visibility is excellent for quick glances while running. The display is as clear and large in person as it is in Amazon's picture. This is a great high contrast face, and all of the features are well-organized. I was considering a G-Shock, but in addition to not having lap memory, none of the G-Shocks have a display this clean. All the better for a runner/cyclist/triathlete glancing at their watch while training or racing.
The watch is pretty tall and thick, which is to be expected with this type of watch. You can find a thinner, sleeker Ironman if you don't need shock resistance. But the wrist presence wins style points with me. I love the look and feel of it.
Some hints:
The blue version of this watch (T5F841) has a negative display, which looks cool as hell...except it's not high contrast like this one. The numbers don't pop out as much and you sometimes have to focus for a moment to see them. Amazon's and Timex's stock photos must have been retouched, because it looks high-contrast in the pics. If that doesn't bother you, it is otherwise the same great watch as this one, and the blue was actually my first choice.
Also, I had trouble figuring out how to activate the FLIX feature. This feature lets you turn on the Indiglo light by flicking your wrist. To activate this feature, you have to put it in Night Mode by holding down the Indiglo button for three seconds until you see the display blink and a crescent moon icon appears at the top of the display. Night Mode also lights up the watch if you push any of the other buttons (mode, set, whatever). If you're concerned that the light will constantly be turning on in Flix Mode, don't worry...I haven't once accidentally lit up the watch. It takes a pretty sharp, though not difficult, flick.
Finally, my hearing sucks, and this watch beeps about as loud as the typical alarm watch. Which means I can't hear it well. If you have trouble hearing most watch alarms, this one won't be any better. However, my coworker (who has normal hearing), was sitting 15 feet away and pointed out to me that my watch was beeping. (If your hearing sucks and you like having a timer while working out I recommend the Gymboss. It's not a lap counter, but is an awesome round timer for interval workouts and includes a stopwatch. I hear that thing just fine).
