Replacement Watch - A difficult Decision....,
January 15, 2007 Gerard M. Ford (North Massapequa, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timex Men's T5E261 Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch (Watch)
I needed to replace another Timex Ironman 100 lap watch I had purchased a few years back (the rubber frame that holds the strap broke). Really liked this watch because of the large readout, ease of use, lap calculation. I'm a Marathoner and novice Triathlete, so a good, simple, versatile watch is an important piece of equipment for me. After looking for over a month, I decided to purchase the Timex Triathlon 100 Lap Flix System Watch, and I'm glad I did. Great readout, easy button control (start and split are much more pronounced - great improvement) and a very sturdy velcro strap makes this a winner for me. I've already used the timer function with alarm for my swim and bike intervals, and of course the chrono function with splits is easy to read and use. This is a great watch!

Gimme a break!,
July 17, 2008 N. Austin (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timex Men's T5E261 Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch (Watch)
Okay.... heres my take. Whah whah whah...the band is no good...the band is hard to put on...GIMME A BREAK! Hitting a hundred mile an hour fast ball is HARD...fastening this band, as long as you have 5 working fingers, is not as difficult as some reviewers would have you believe.
The watch is fine....it works well, has an easy to read display, has easy to use functions. I dont run triathalons...Im a fat guy...so the timer functions are less important to me...but the big numbers make it easy to see as Im reaching for another doughnut and its great for timing how many chocolate chip cookies I can eat in 30 seconds.In all seriousness...this watch is cheap, functional and decent looking. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because I find it to be just a touch cheap looking but for the money you cant beat it.

Nice watch, but the strap???,

This review is from: Timex Men's T5E261 Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch (Watch)
Like another reviewer said, the strap on this watch leads much to be desired. It is sewn to the watch, so presumably if the strap goes, the watch goes. And since I purchased it to use when I work out/excercise, I wonder how the cloth/velcro will react to sweat over time.
Regarding the watch itself, I'm very pleased. The time is displayed VERY LARGE which is kind of comical...but it does the job.
EDIT: After about a month of use, the paint is starting to chip/scrape off around the face. And the watch has seen no abuse at all.
