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.Rock your body during extreme workouts with the extra-large Timex T5F841 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a black resin body and stainless steel top ring and a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times. It’s also shock resistant to ISO standards–enabling it to withstand breakage under adverse conditions. It has a number of customizable sport timing features that can be turned on and off, including 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 30-lap memory recall, and 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions, three alarms with 5-minute backup, and golf score keeper. Other features include a 5-year battery life, water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet), and a black polyurethane strap.
It 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. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

5 Stars Great value!
Great watch for the price! Has all the features I need, and then some. Easy to operate so that it doesn’t take a PhD to figure out how to operate the different functions. Indiglo light is perfect! if you are tough on watches like I am, I strongly suggest this watch!!!
1 Stars Skip this watch.
This watch isn’t it. I can’t see the display. Also, I can only set alarms for daily, weekdays, and weekdays. There’s no setting an alarm for a specific day of the week. I guess Timex is getting too big for its britches.
3 Stars A good watch for the money
The Good: This watch is very fuctional with a big readout. I found it easy to use.
The Bad: It’s hard to read in direct light and light itself is pretty dim. My biggest gripe with this watch is the band. The little “loop” that the excess band goes into has a big notch in it that secures it to the band. That’s good for keeping it in place while exercising, but in the beginning I had issues removing it. Felt like I was always going to break it. Found out if you squeeze the sides of the loop it releases the pressure and makes it easier to remove.
What I would have done differently: The blue is a lighter metallic blue than I anticipated - I would buy this watch in silver if I had a “do over.”
4 Stars Swiss army knife of watches
Basically, whatever you need a watch for, this does it and does it easily. I’ve noted that the fifth button really makes it easier to use all the functions on a watch, and the functions on this watch seem intuitively arranged. I’m going to read the manual someday but I haven’t yet.
The overall color scheme is actually very sharp looking, better in person than the picture. But, yes, its a big boy - more like a fat boy. It took me a couple of days to get used to it. But hey I’m a big boy too so it looks fine on me. In addition to the shock absorption, the bigger size also buys you total waterproofing even when the buttons are pushed under water.
I will say though that while the black face and white numerals look cool, they are a bit harder to read. Readability is fine in fairly bright light and when you need the backlight, but in other light you may need to take a closer look.
4 Stars Great Watch,but…
Yes it is a great watch with all its features,but it is slightly thick too.
