Ironman Classic 100

This is already my 2nd TIMEX which I use for my swimming practices.. This one beats the older model (Timex 51931 Ironman Triathlon) with some interesting changes: 1) The larger digits on this model makes it easier to read the numbers (as some mentioned to do so when running) even when I am swimming, with a quick flick of the wrist at the turn, it's possible to see the minutes and the seconds.... The older model had smaller number, thus not making it possible to do this. 2) The navigation on this model became quite easier. It was already easy on the older model but this one included instructions on screen, such as NEXT, DONE, + or - in order to advance with your practices and training... Plus a chance to change the way you want to see the information of the your laps (Laps in the big digits and splits at the smaller one, or the oposite) A Real nice add on by TIMEX. 3) A simple but effective wrist band "clip" (the tiny piece of strap that attachs the "extra" wrist band that is left after you put the clock on) It has a piece of rubber on the inside that locks on at the wrist band and does not make it loose or even letting it go as some other watches do sometimes. This is more effective underwater I think, as it remains the way you set your wrist, as the older model I had did not quite held in place all the time. 4) Plenty of memory (100 laps is really a nice number), maybe more then most will need but, as a swimmer I use to count splits over 100m (or yards) with many laps during one training... It is quite usefull. I go easily on 10 to 15 laps of the memory in one training. And with the date feature, that reminds when you did these times, it is quite usefull to keep track on the training with a spreadsheet, for instance... (as I do !) 5) A really big START/SPLIT buttom that is great to press when I am swimming laps and have to press myself at each turn at the pool. Just perfect. Never a miss ! And the feature which was already at most of the models, of the repeat countdown, and the start of a chrono, or a repeat (what I use the most) in order race agains your average rhitym inside a certain time frame that you can set it up ! And of course the flix technology, which is very good to have it... Just flick your wrist (when you set it to ON) and it will show you at night all info that you need. It is another great watch from TIMEX and it deserves a look, specially for the price. It is worth to pay a bit more if you are like me and uses a lot of the memory for the laps on swimming pool. Maybe for runners it can be quite a lot of memory, but the price difference is worth the change, for some of the options mentioned at this review. This is a really good watch to have.. Will you definatelly like as we all are at these reviews. :-) It deserves the 5 stars rating !

My husband loves these watches. They last forever. They are durable and waterproof. No need to take it off. Quality and timeless.

What I really like is the large numbers I can read without using my glasses

I ordered this watch (Timex Full-Size Ironman Classic 100 Watch #T5E231, Yellow, $48) from Amazon on 05Jan2019 and received it on 07Jan2019. It has proven to be an accurate durable water resistant watch - I have showered, and gone swimming with it on for hundreds of hours, but never deeper than about eight to ten feet of water when swimming, and I have worn it all day every day. This watch is the latest in a long line of Timex Ironman watches I have owned, dating back to around 1990. I really like this watch in particular due too its large digital time readout display - much easier on my aging eyes. I have found it keeps accurate time, off about +/- 1 minute per year. The original resin strap of this watch has help up very well over time. In the past, I had fairly quickly replaced the original plastic-like straps on most of my previous Ironman watches as they looked and felt very cheap and weren't durable. Reliable to a point: while all of my other Ironman watches lasted anywhere from 3 to 5 years on their original batteries, I was always reluctant to replace their batteries as whenever I did the watches were no longer water resistant. But at anywhere from $25 to $40 dollars per watch, I didn't mind simply buying a new replacement Ironman watch. This watch, at $48, is no exception to the loss of water resistancy upon battery replacement issue. However, its original battery life was significantly shorter. I noticed the Indiglo night-light function stopped working at 2 years (Jan2021 - 1st indication that the original battery days were numbered), and my original battery completely died on April 19, 2021. I ordered yet another new watch (Timex Full-Size Ironman Classic 100 Watch #TW5M03400, Green, $54) from Amazon on 20Apr2021, and just received delivery of it today (21Apr2021). We'll see how this one fares over time.

Exelente

Great value for money. Provides all the functions I need for my workouts and daily life. Extremely reliable.

Relógio muito bonito. Uso para corrida e já está me atendendo perfeitamente. Com certeza uma escolha acertada.

Die Uhr ist gut ablesbar, hat eine zweite Zeitzone, die mit einem Druck abrufbar ist. Außerdem gibt es einen Timer, einen Intervalltimer, der frei programmierbar ist und 5 Alarme. Auf Wunsch piept sie zur Vollen Stunde. Die Nacht-Beleuchtung ist gut! Das Zifferblatt zeigt Uhrzeit mit Sekunde, den Wochentag und das Datum an. Ich trage diese Uhr seit bestimmt 15 Jahren und bestelle sie mir immer wieder neu, wenn ich einmal das Zifferblatt zerkratzt habe. Es ist die perfekte Uhr für alle, die keine Smartwatch möchten aber ein gutes „Zeit-Werkzeug“ brauchen. Im Laufe der Jahre ist sie übrigens preiswerter geworden.😀 Im übrigen ist sie natürlich absolut wasserdicht. Ich kann den Kauf uneingeschränkt empfehlen!!!

Experienced just as advertised - fits snugly on wrist. Features easy to understand and apply. Light is good. Large digits great for eyes not as sharp as they used to be!!!!!! So far, so good - the real test is always time ! Godd value for my needs.
