Timex Ironman 30 Lap Watch - Mid Size Reviews

By Nala from Urbana, IL on 2/13/2013

There''s nothing really fancy about the watch, but I''d been looking for a sports watch with a medium sized display that was a little more than just "functional." This watch is comfortable and has an end piece that ensures that you don''t have that "watch tail" flailing about.
I love it.

I have worn this watch 24/7 for many years. A girl in a Timex store changed the battery & she failed to replace the gasket to keep water out which ruined the watch. I have had about 3-4 of the same watch; this is a replacement because mine was ruined. It was quicker ordering one than returning to the store.
Keeps great time, see in the dark, set mulitiple alarms. I can''t say enough good about this watch--I love it.
Recommend replacing the battery yourself when the time comes--if you can--see YouTube. (This is my first time to Swimoutlet.com; found them very worthy site to order items they sell.)

This model does not have the FLIX feature. It has to have the label right next to the 30 lap marking on the face. I had already purchased one exactly like this for a girl friend, but was looking for the one with the FLIX feature. Please remove on the description that this feature is available on this model. Besides not having the FLIX (handsfree indiglo) feature, the watch is great.

This is the third one I''ve bought. Eventually the band will break but only after 3 years of wearing it everyday and taking it off and putting it back on a few times a week.

The 3 alarms is my favorite feature. I also like the size since I have small wrists and the color is both athletic and feminine.

This is a nice watch but I was looking for something with a large dial so I could read the numbers while swimming.  I'm sending it back.

Bought mid-size.  Beware; this is for small wrists (short band), typically women.  Not a man's watch.  More features available for more money, but Ironman brand means you can remember how it works.  Very intuitive.

The display is easy to see and the functions are easy to use.  I purchased this for the countdown timer function, and it is very easy to use it.

In the past, I purchased some cheap Chinese watches from Ebay.  They are junk quality and come with truly inscrutible instructions.

This watch is worth the extra money.

This is my 3rd Ironman watch in 2 1/2 years. I love the features but it is not a quality watch. It is not water proof like it says. You can't even get a splash on it. (thats how my other 2 broke) Once it has a little splash on it the display is distorted. This new one that I got; I am sending back already because the mode button doesn't work. They are sending a replacement. If you purchase this make sure you don't get it wet.... and keep your warranty info. Like I said; I love the features which is why I keep buying the same low quality watch.

I swim laps 5 days a week.  Haven't tried all the bells and whistles yet but the watch is very comfortable, easy to fasten, stays put on my wrist and is easy to read without my reading glasses--even through sort of foggy swim goggles.  Just what I need.
