Timex Ironman Sleek 50 LAP Watch - Mid Size Reviews

By SwimMom from PDX on 3/13/2013

I bought this for my husband as a gift. He is training for a tri and is now swimming enough laps in a row that he forgets where he is in his count. He said it has worked great and while he was concerned that it was small at first he really likes that aspect of it. It is not bulky, so it does not get in his way or restrict his wrist movement at all. He is only wearing it for laps and not as an everyday watch. The band just fits - if the intended wearer has a very large wrist you may want to get an extra large band.

Has a timer, stopwatch, big numbers, date and day; all the things that are important to me in an "every day watch."  Plus it has a sleek look and was a great value!

I had a Timex Ironman watch that has lasted over 15 years, requiring only periodic strap replacements.  Because it was showing the wear, I bought this new version.  Love the interval timer, and it''s a very attractive watch.  However, this watch started taking on water and fogging the screen after only ~1.5 years.  I am only a lap swimmer, no deep water diving or scuba.  And the first time it started fogging, I believe it was actually after a shower!  Around the same time, the strap also started to split (and they are not replaceable.)  I will be looking to a different brand.

My Granddaughter loved it!  She likes that it will be able to count her laps, and swim in it.

This product has the interval timer which a previous purchase did not. However with this watch and the other Timex I purchased at Runoutlet.com, the price is spot on. The first I don''t mind at all wearing every day. Is very stylish. Can''t want to get this one as an active part of my running!

Bought to replace a similar one that I wear 95% of the time.  Not too bulky.

The watch does perform all the functions indicated.  The watch band runs very small, fortunately I have a very small wrist or it would not fit.

It''s my favorite watch, because of the count and repeat timer. Also, the lighted dial. I wear it ALL of the time--even with dressy clothes.
