1 Stars Nonstandard Band; Watch Fell off; Wasted $35!
This is the 10th Timex Ironman watch I’ve purchased since 1987, and it will be my very last. Timex has begun using “chi chi” watch bands. Well, my wife looked down at her christmas present after only 4 months, and the watch WAS GONE FROM THE BAND! What a piece of garbage, I’m out $35 !!
If you use Timex Ironman watches, you know that the plastic bands eventually fail. What are you going to do when this band fails? NOTHING AT ALL, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO THROW IT AWAY !!!
I’d rather own a happy meal than this watch. From now on, I’m going to buy the Ladies Expedition model, which uses standard watch bands. TIMEX THIS IS MY LAST IRON MAN PURCHASE !!!
2 Stars The disposable watch- love it when it works but not durable
I’ve had two ironman watches - I loved the design and ease of use, but both lasted less than a year. My advice - get it if you really like the look & the features, but don’t expect it to last. Like many others’ stories, the band on the first ironman broke around 10 months. My second one just got water condensation inside after 5 months. It was fine with swimming 2 or 3 times a month, then suddenly let in water and broke. Since I really like this watch, I may put up with it a 3rd time at $30-$35 on amazon. But if anyone finds a more durable, lightweight, multi-function, good looking watch - I’ll be first in line to try it.
5 Stars Great Tri Watch!
I’ve had this watch for about a month and so far, so good. I train in the ocean twice a week and this watch fits comfortably under my wetsuit without damaging it. I’ve also used this watch on my bike-run workouts and the watch itself is lightweight and doesn’t chafe. The numbers are easy to read and the I love the feature that saves the workouts for that day. Perfect watch for me.
1 Stars Watch popped out of band
I purchased this watch at Wal-Mart, and after a month or two the strap separated from the watch on the side of the buckle. It pulled away from the watch where the two upper buttons are located. The watch could be hooked back into the strap; but the strap remained loose and the upper part of the watch separated from it frequently. This continued for another month or so until today, when the watch popped completely out of the strap and was lost somewhere. This is a terrible design and I would never purchase another one.
1 Stars Add me to the list
I too have purchased many a Timex. This one - I accidentally wore in our pool but when I realized I had it on - I thought “no big deal, it’s WR to 100M” and all I was doing was walking around in our pool - I hadn’t gone under at all - just WALKING around with head and shoulders above water. I looked over at my watch to see what time it was and the watch was full of water on the inside. I was told by a WalMart jewerly counter person that as long as I’d never had the battery changed, it should not have taken on water - and I NEVER had. Apparently however if you do change the battery, then the water resist is shot because opening the battery case ruins that and it’s a well known thing apparently - but like I say, I had never done that so I was baffled at this happening. I don’t have my purchase info of course, I’ve had it a little less than a year I’m sure but after several months with no issues, I’m sure I threw it out while doing a cleaning out of paperwork just a couple weeks ago. I did send Timex an email just a few moments ago - but I’m sure they won’t help. I don’t know what to do - I need another of these - does anyone have a recommendation of a better model? I really like the timer in addition to chrono plus I like the interval timer - that’s handy! I almost bought an expedition that they had because it’s a bit cheaper but not sure I like the velcro strap and don’t really like where the buttons are - I really liked the layout of this watch!
