Timex OVA - great running watch,
December 2, 2005 Brian Young - See all my reviews
I recently bought a Timex OVA (optimal viewing angle) watch. I bought it as a replacement for my old Nike Triax watch, which inexplicably stop functioning correctly. After comparing several different watches, including the new Nike Triax watch, I was impressed at the lightweight of the OVA; I can't even tell when it's on my wrist. Also the OVA comes in large- and mid-size versions, which is very important for many runners like myself that have thin wrists.

Good ergonomics, short-lived strap,

The ergonomics are very good, the material selection/design of the strap is poor. I had the watch for just about 8 months and the strap has broken just before the clasp. Apparently just taking the watch off and on once a day puts too much stress on it. Because the strap is molded into the watch case it can't be replaced - you have to get a new watch.
