This Timex Watch (but not any battery, crystal, band, or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation. Timex will not repair defects relating to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation. This limited warranty applies to US Customers.Keep your sports training focused with this full-sized, shock-resistant Timex Ironman Triathlon multi-function sport digital watch (model T5H591), which features a 30-lap memory and the unique hands-free Flix Indiglo activation system. It features a durable blue and black resin case, large buttons for easy access to timing functions, and a comfortable polyurethane strap. It also offers water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), three alarms (with 5-minute backup), and three time zones. Other features include a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times, an occasion mode to set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and appointments, and all-day white reflector display. Sport timing functions include:
- 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option in large digits
- 30-lap memory recall
- 2-mode countdown timer
- Forward or backward setting
- Built-in setting reminders
This watch incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward “flick” of the wrist with a sharp “stop” will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars This is a great watch, but NOT a Flix watch.
The rating is reflective of labeling (either Timex fault for serial number or Amazon for the incorrect description/image of the product with “Flix” on dial.)
Any Timex Ironman is a great watch. But after getting one from Amazon, realizing it doesn’t have Flix, then returning it and getting another one (identical, no FLIX), I am pretty sure it has been mislabeled.
If you are buying for all the features except FLIX, it is a great price, and an excellent watch. If you are buying for Flix, better choose the more expensive models. The T5H591 is not a FLIX watch.
3 Stars Description is false, no FLIX feature present
To all who are looking for the FLIX feature:
(Auto light by wrist movement)
this watch does not have the FLIX feature reguardless of what the desciption says. I am now returning and ordering a different model. I am more unhappy with Amazon than the watch because they have not returned an email or phone call about this matter, and currently the watch description remains false. After furthure research I have found out how to tell the difference.
#1 - All timex FLIX watches have “FLIX” on the wristban, notice amazon’s picture does not.
#2 - search for the Product Code: T5H591 on the Timex Website and you will find this model is not a FLIX.
4 Stars Great watch, but…
Great watch, but good luck trying to find a replacement band. They tend to crack & break apart at the buckle. The fitting is unique, therefore no generic band will work. You need the exact replacement band. I have not, as yet, found one listed anywhere. Is this built in obsolescence requiring you to purchase a new watch?
1 Stars WHAT are you gonna do when the band fails?
I’ve owned 10 Timex IronMan watches since 1987, and recently experienced a failure with a gift I gave my wife - the “custom” timex watchband DROPPED THE watch and she looked down only 4 months after receiving her christmas present and it was GONE FOREVER !!
Since I’ve owned so many of these watches I’ve watched over the years as they made changes, but this generation of watches is a HORRIBLE MISTAKE. First of all, it’s been true that since the beginning of time, the cheap resin watchbands have been uncomfortable so everyone knows that when they break (and they DO break, after about 1 year, in general), you must purchase an aftermarket velcro watch band, or a leather band, or whatever blows your skirt up …
I went to WalMart last week looking to pick up 2 of these watches and demo’ed them extensively (one for my self and one for my poor watch-less wife), but then realized, WHAT WILL I DO WHEN THE WATCH BAND FAILS ?? And the answer is : I’ll be stuck paying $12 for another crappy resin proprietary band that TIMEX ships with this watch. Look at the photo. THIS WATCH DOESN’T USE STANDARD PINS TO MOUNT THE BAND. THE SPACE BETWEEN THE PINS IS TOO NARROW.
It’s apparent to me that Timex is trying to become the Microsoft of watches!
I bought my wife a TIMEX Atlantis, and I recommend it highly to everyone. It has all the features of the Ironman, and none of this B.S. about proprietary bands and watch faces that fall out …
5 Stars Great watch
This is my second Ironman watch of this type. My first one died after a battery replacement when water got inside due to the incompatance of the place that replaced the battery. I am a mechanic and often wear the watch to work and haven’t had any issues with dirt or oil getting on it or the band.
The best thing I like about the watch is the ease of changing the time come daylight savings time.
