Timex Women’s Ironman Sleek 50-Lap Resin Strap Watch #T5K007
The Timex Women’s Ironman Sleek 50-Lap Watch is a lightweight timepiece designed to withstand a tough triathlon and all the training that goes with it. Constructed with a lightweight resin case, the watch includes a stationary silver-and-purple resin bezel and a purple resin wristband with an adjustable buckle clasp. A durable mineral window shields the digital-gray dial face, which displays time as well as the day, date, and month. Four silver buttons decorate the bezel and include mode, set/recall, Indiglo, and stop/reset functions. A prominent silver start/split button rests below the six o’clock position and tracks up to 50 laps. This athletic timepiece is powered by digital-quartz movement and is water resistant to 330 feet.
User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Not as water resistant as they claim
We purchased this watch knowing it may get wet occasionally and it claimed to be water resistant. It wasn’t. It failed due to moisture issues after running through some water sprinklers (not even fully submerged or under pressure) only a couple of months after purchase. Very disappointing. Timex did offer to replace the watch for the cost of shipping and handling. The new watch has now made it 6 months (including submerged in swimming pools). I would increase the stars if it holds up for at least a year.
5 Stars wonderful, classy women’s sport watch
I love this watch. It is my second one, “replacing” the blue one I bought two years ago and have worn night and day. It is fashionalbe enough for all but formal occasions. Replacing the battery is difficult enough that I simply opted for a new watch. Would that all products were this reliable, easy to use, and easy to read.
5 Stars Best Watch Ever
I have had this watch for 4 years now and its honestly the best purchase I ever made. Its extremely water proof and has endured almost all of college for me. Its very slim around the wrist so its airy and it doesn’t make me sweat alot. I also love the three alarms and I used the timers all the time! Best decision ever!!
5 Stars Love this watch!
I was looking for a sporty, young-looking, low-profile, waterproof, unique digital watch. I only need it for day-to-day timekeeping and recreational swimming, so lap functions are not important to me. This watch was perfect for my needs–it’s beautiful, fits my college style, keeps great time, and is waterproof (the instruction sheet is very specific about not pushing any buttons while the watch is in water). I’ve never had problems with condensation, water seepage, or anything malfunctioning, despite having worn it for recreational swimming in a chlorinated pool.
The watch, true to its name, is sleek. It’s not bulky like other sports watches, and doesn’t scream “Hardcore Runner!” which is great because I’m not one. On the other hand, it’s also not tiny-dainty, which is good news for my bigger stature. The Indiglo-lit numbers are very bright and perfectly readable in low light. The default watch display shows time (with seconds), date (month and day), and day of the week. These are all easy to read at a glance.
The watch is truly dark purple and white, like in the picture, and feminine without being girly. I actually wear my watch with the face on the inside of my wrist because that’s how my best friend in high school wore it–the band and clasp look good, and so far I haven’t scratched the face.
Overall, I am very pleased with this watch!
4 Stars Good looking watch
Too soon to tell how long the watch band will last. The last 2 watches she purchased (not this model) broke after a few months. It arrived on time and looked clean out of the box.
