4 Stars Classy Ironman
This Timex Ironman is a lot more professional looking than the “Dress Watch” seen below (I also owned and reviewed the “Dress Watch” watch below):
Timex Men’s Ironman 50-Lap Combo Analog Digital Dress Watch #T5E351
The “Dress Watch” had a resin wristband that was very comfortable, but was prone to developing tensile cracks (see review). This wristband appears to be made out of a similar resin, but the latch mechanism is completely different. The clasp type on the “Dress Watch” is like a belt buckle - the combination of this clasp type and wristband material was not the best (the tensile cracks developed in areas that bent the most during latching). However, the clasp type with this watch is a pushbutton deployment clasp (usually found on metal wristbands) - the combination of this clasp type with the resin wristband material should be a much better fit (the band does not bend to the extreme the “Dress Watch” had to bend). Also, this wristband is fully adjustable (whereas links must be removed from metal wristbands in order to adjust).
There are a couple of downsides to this watch:
1) the titanium pieces that connect the watch-face unit to the wristband make it uncomfortable to wear the watch even semi-loose - the titanium pieces dig into my wrist bone if it is too loose, and
2) the deployment clasp has a tendency to grab a few of my wrist hairs while closing (although this can be avoided with some practice).
