 Excellent sports watch August 25, 2008
Since I used a Timex Triathon I love Timex sports watched. I wanted to give this a try. I like it too. It is lightweight and is good looking. The big numbers are easy to read. It is not as flat as I would like it. The screen indicators are awesome. This means that when I set the hour, on the corners small labels appear to remind me how to set up the time. Otherwise, I would have to try different buttons until I am able to adjust the hour/minute. This product is definitively 5 stars.
No problem's with the band, light died but timex replaced at no cost August 25, 2008
Bought the watch 2 years ago for running/swimming. The backlight died and Timex sent me a prepaid postage box to return the watch. They sent me a new watch in the mail 2 weeks later and It's worked perfectly since. I love the backlight display.

This is a great watch. I've been wearing an Ironman for years, mainly because of the simple operation. My only reservation is the band. It looks really great, and it's cool to wear (not a lot of sweat) but the band is prone to break right above the buckle where you bend it back to fasten it. I've replaced the watch 3 times since they changed to this style band. The watch itself is durable and long lasting, the non-user replaceable band is the only problem, although I've heard that you can send it back to timex and they will replace it for a fee. I've never done this, I have always just bought a new watch. Band lasts about 2-3 years in my experience. The fact that I've replaced it so many times tells you that I still think this is a great watch, even with the band issue.
Great Sports watch August 19, 2008
This watch is great. I especially like the interval training feature with
it's simple interface to control 2 different intervals that can repeat or end.
It's the whole reason I got this watch again after losing it.
Functional, inexpensive, and just what I needed. August 19, 2008
I've tried more expensive Timex sports watches, including Triathlon watches that link to a heart-rate monitor, but what I really want is easy splits recall and durability. I've tried replacing batteries in other watches (because many stores will not replace batteries in water-proof watches, claiming they don't want to be responsibile for the loss of water-proof status) and found that my watch fails shortly thereafter. So I wanted a cheap watch that I wouldn't feel bad junking after the battery fails in a couple of years. Thus far, this watch fits the bill, and is so light that I barely notice it's there.
