Great Athletic Watch for your Money!, March 20, 2008

J. Featherston (Fort Worth, TX) -

This review is from: Timex Women's T5H471 Ironman Triathlon 30-Lap Fast Wrap Watch (Watch)

This watch is great! It does everything it's supposed to do. It looks great and functions great. The only thing that I thought it would do better is the night glow function doesn't turn on with the flick of your wrist. You literally have to shake your wrist in an up and down motion to get it to come on. One good jerk of your wrist and the light will come on. Which really wouldn't work well if you were running in the evening or needed to view the light quicker. I find it easier to just push the button to light up the watch face when I need it. But, I love the look of the watch. It's a comfortable band. I prefer velcro watch bands because I have a small wrist and with other bands there is always excess or the watch moves around too much. What I love is the Occasion feature- that is great! Plus, the lap timer and just how the numbers are larger makes it easy and a great functioning watch. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good athletic watch.

This review is from: Timex Women's T5H471 Ironman Triathlon 30-Lap Fast Wrap Watch (Watch)

This is a great watch with lots of necessary and useful functions that works perfectly well. I have two complaints about it. One is that the velcro band, which is very comfortable and easy to put on and adjust, starts stinking after you get the band wet (swimming, washing your hands, showering) especially if you are using this as a running watch (it is called the Ironman, it shouldn't stink when you run!) My second complaint is personal and may not apply to anyone else, but for me the back of the watch (the metal cover that sits against my skin) irritates my skin and i get a little red circle where it sits. When I take the watch off, that circle gets scaly and then dries out and eventually goes away. I have never had this problem with other Timex watches.

As a result of these two flaws, I don't wear this watch all the time, only when I'm running. I was hoping I could just wear it all the time, but now I'm in the market for a second watch that I can just wear to work.

Favorite of all Ironman Watches!, December 22, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This is a great watch! It is, by far, my favorite of all Ironman watches I've owned. Besides the standard timer and chrono features, I love the three different alarms. They have three distinctive sounds and you can set each alarm for different things (e.g. weekends, weekdays). I also love the occasion feature. You can set an alarm to notifiy you of a special occasion for any day(s) of the year (e.g. birthday on 2/7). The purple indiglo is pretty good. I don't really get purple from this. The standard indiglo is an indigo background that allows you to see the numbers/letters on the face. This purple indiglo is the opposite in that the numbers glow a pale lavender color. I love the large, easy-to-read face. It's a great improvement over older models. I absolutely LOVE the pink fabric band. I hope Timex will keep making more of these feminine watches in fun colors with the woven velcro bands. I would buy another!
