Repeat Purchaser
by Midwest Mom from Cincinnati, OH, 2010-09-01

I initially purchased a watch for myself. I like to wear my watch 24-hours a day, and am an active person, so needed something which could withstand some punishment. About the only time I take my watch off during the day is if I'm typing on a laptop on a desk. I also like to lift my hand in the middle of the night to see what time it is without having to roll over, so for the value, this has been a great watch for me.

My daughter started first grade and was always asking me what time it was. I began looking for a watch for her, but after a while, decided to give her my old watch and buy myself a new one. This watch fits her wrist as well, and has worked great for her. This summer, however, her watch did take on some moisture after some pool time. Her watch is about 3-years old.

It's ok

This is my second Timex Women's Ironman watch. This one feels a little cheaper than the previous model I had; the silver plastic part surrounding the face just looks and feels cheap. I'm not really sure how else to describe it. Other than that, the watch is just fine. It does what it's supposed to do, and I haven't had any problems so far. No complaints here.

POORLY MADE with Great Features!

I have been a devoted Timex fan for 15 + years. I am on my SECOND watch of this model. The first lasted for about 6 months before the watch part broke away from the band, my current one lasted for 1 MONTH before this same thing happend! I can still use it just snap it back into place but I have almost lost the watch part NUMEROUS times! One time in particular I was on a run and keeping track of my miles via the lap button on the Chrono, on my first mile I pressed the button to log the mile and the watch part popped out and I lost it in my layers of jacket and gloves. I found it of course but added time to my run and had to just carry the watch by itself.
Let me say that I LOVE the interval timers and having the capability of 3 alarms and 2 time zones those alone made me buy my second one, I couldn't find another watch on the market that had those features. I have now found SOLEUS watches (they have the same features and more)Womens Soleus 10K Chronograph 30 lap Mid Watchesyou may pay $10 more, but get the same features and hopefully a longer life out of your watch!

Good for the money

I bought one of these over 3 years ago and am buying a replacement. The keeper for the watch band recently broke and the silver paint on the face has mostly worn off. No problems with leakage and I am impressed that the battery has lasted over 3 years. I like the overall look of the watch because it is functional yet, feminine. I think it would be hard to find a better watch for the price if you are looking for a sports watch. I'm hopeful that Timex has fixed the leaking watch problem that other reviewers have experienced.

can't get wet
by James Engelhardt from Washington DC, 2010-07-06

I bought this watch and loved it because I could set multiple time intervals; it was perfect for my runs. Within a week of owning it I jumped in the pool with it, it fogged up immediately. I waited for days for the condensation to disappear, not being able to see the intervals while running. About 5 days after I wore it in the pool it just completely died. I would not buy this watch again, love the features but not worth the risk of it failing when wet.
