TimexMen's Ironman Triathlon Classic 100 44mm Watch

Es más pequeño de lo pensado, pero es muy ligero lo que es bueno. Se ven bien los números y la luminosidad es aceptable, estoy contento con la compra al final lo que necesito es ver la hora. Ya que como reloj principal por mi trabajo es un Smart Watch pero olvidó siempre recargar. Lo pobre usarlo debajo el agua y me bañé con él y todo bien. Otro punto sería que mi mano es gruesa y tal vez por eso se ve pequeño. Excelente materiales debo de mencionar se adapta bien a mi mano.

I will start my review with an admission:I hate digital watches.I think 7-segment numbers look ugly, and I prefer the ability to see the 'distance' between times visually that you get with an analog face.But I needed the timer and lap counter for my job, and I have always wanted to do interval training to improve my speed and endurance while cycling. This watch had everything I needed and more. I was aware that Timex was a respected brand, and the T5E231 was the only watch in my price range with the ability to count 199 laps.I have to say, though, that after a week of use, I actually love this watch. Not only does it meet my needs functionally, but it actually brings me pleasure to wear it and operate it. The yellow trim around the inside of the bezel clearly identifies it as a sport watch, yet it seems to fit in well in formal settings. The interface is incredibly user-friendly and satisfying to operate. I never thought I would refer to a watch's "interface", but this watch actually has one. Pressing most of the buttons results in actual text being displayed on the screen telling you what the button did, or what will happen if you hold that button down just a little longer. In most modes there are even little labels that appear on the screen by the buttons telling you what they do in that mode. Figuring out how to use almost all of the functions only required five minutes of random experimentation. The only thing I had to consult the manual about was how to switch the chronograph into lap counter mode. I just wish there instructions explaining how to fold the manual back into a size that fits inside the watch stand.There are so many little touches that make it clear the designers at Timex really take pride in their work. Here are my favorites:-When turning night mode on, the Indiglo lingers for another few seconds after releasing the button. But when turning it off, the light extinguishes immediately! It should, since if you are turning night mode off, it's probably daytime and you don't need the Indiglo anymore.-Being able to scroll numbers backwards and forwards while setting times. On other watches it is so frustrating to 'miss' the number you want and have to press the button 60 more times.-Little icons appear on the home screen letting you know if the timer, chronograph, or alarm is running in the background. Most watches only have an icon for the alarm.-The speaker plays a different sound for the alarm and the timer, so you know which one is going off without looking at the screen. Also the Indiglo light flashes.-The Indiglo system is clearly a masterwork of engineering. It looks evenly lit and is very easy to read, yet it doesn't illuminate anything other than the display (unlike the backlight on a phone, for example). This must save a lot of battery power, since lighting up other objects around the watch is a waste of electricity. Besides, you have your phone for that!-In timer mode, you can see what time the timer was originally set for on another line below the countdown.-The AM and PM appear in the same place on the display; there is just one little segment that lights up to turn the P into an A.-Many of the buttons that perform an irreversible or potentially unwanted function (such as resetting the chrono or clearing workout data) require being held down for several seconds so you don't trigger them accidentally.-The watch tells you how much memory is free for storing workouts.There is only one problematic thing about this watch (and it may actually be a problematic thing about myself). In order to activate the FLIX system I am required to wrench my arm so hard I nearly dislocate it. It is painful, and takes way more effort than just pressing the Indiglo button. This doesn't bother me, because I didn't buy this watch with the intention to ever use FLIX, but it is somewhat frustrating that it is so hard to use. However, it is possible that my technique is flawed, and there is an easier movement that will activate it. But I don't really want to experiment; I like my arm in its current uninjured state.In all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I love everything it does, and the only 'negative' probably says more about me than it does about the watch. Considering my abhorrence of digital watches, I am surprised that I like this one so much. I don't plan to wear it any other time than while at work or working out, but for those times it is not only tolerable, but actually enjoyable.I highly recommend this watch!

Big digit display, sporty, and it’s a Timex!!

I recently decided to challenge myself and start running, possibly training for a marathon and eventually sprint triathlons. I needed a watch that would help keep track of my mile pace and split times and would have never thought I would go back to an LCD screen watch! Based upon all the Amazon reviews, they are all on spot so I will try not to repeat what everyone else has already covered, but what was important to me.It's funny to say, but I actually had to read the instructions to acclimate myself, going back to the dinosaur ages of using buttons that have multiple functions! We are so spoiled with color touch screens that are intuitive and easy to use. Re-learning how to use this watch brought me back to my childhood days when I used to wear a Casio G-shock chronograph watch! Needless to say, the learning curve is short.I guess I will touch up upon the 100 memory function. Every time you use the chronograph and track your split times, you have the option to save that particular workout for future reference. For example. On 9-10-11, I ran 3 miles, each mile I pushed the split/start button, the watch counts that as lap 1 and records your time. When you are done, PUSH THE BUTTON THAT SAYS STOP. Not the split/start button! You save the workout and can go back to it based upon the date. 3 laps = 3 units of memory and the watch will indicate 97 memory (remaining). When you review your 10-10-11 workout, you can view your lap 1-3 split times, it will give you your best time, and will automatically average your 3 laps. I never thought I would use this feature, however if you run often and want to track your progress, I think it's a great feature. My one gripe about using the split/start button is, it's not a distinct click, it's soft and mushy even though I have my watch beep when pressing buttons, I can't always hear it. It could be my particular watch, but every time I use the split button I look at my watch to make sure it worked.The big display size is important to me because I want to focus on running instead of trying to squint and figure out what my pace time is. You do have the option of switching your split and total time on your display....meaning your pace time can be where the time reads (larger numbers), and your total time is where the date reads (smaller numbers). It just depends on what is more important to you. The indiglo flix system lets you flick your wrist and the indiglo light turns on for a brief 3 seconds. I found this very convenient not to use your other hand to turn on the light while running. I wish Timex could figure out a similar way to do a one handed split. I have read that the indiglo doesn't last too long -- about 1 year, but I guess it depends on how often it is used. Hopefully that isn't the case.Overall, this watch is simplistic in form but functions very well as a training tool and as an everyday watch! I enjoy using it and I hope it lasts a very long time.

I am a Timex loyalist. I don't need a smart watch, just one with a few functions, such as stopwatch, alarm, and count-up/countdown. And, most importantly, what I do need is this: Given that I exercise without eyeglasses, I searched for some time for an Ironman with the largest display. This is it. As I discovered in my search, the largest case diameter does not necessarily mean the largest numbers. For your benefit, I enclose a photo showing my old Ironman (on the left with red start/split button) aside this new Ironman. My search is over. Hope it helps yours.
