Continually Improving,

This review is from: Timex Men's T5H591 Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Watch (Watch)
Over the years I've owned several generations of Timex Ironman watches, along with other competitor's sports watches. This is the best so far and it is a pleasure to see that Timex is constantly refining and improving the Ironman brand in small and very useful ways. Small but extremely useful improvements over the last Ironman watch I owned include:
- The Flix feature. This is very useful at night when you only have one hand available. Just activate the night mode, flick your wrist and the watch face illuminates for a few seconds.
- When you press the Indiglo button, the face stays lit for a few seconds instead of only as long as you hold the button. Subtle change but big help.
- When you press the Set button in any mode, helpful flashing icons appear which let you know which of the five buttons does what function (e.g. "+" to advance a number.) This pretty much eliminates ever needing to refer to the instruction manual.
- The wristband...Read more

Description is false, no FLIX feature present,

This review is from: Timex Men's T5H591 Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Watch (Watch)
To all who are looking for the FLIX feature:
(Auto light by wrist movement)
this watch does not have the FLIX feature reguardless of what the desciption says. I am now returning and ordering a different model. I am more unhappy with Amazon than the watch because they have not returned an email or phone call about this matter, and currently the watch description remains false. After furthure research I have found out how to tell the difference.
#1 - All timex FLIX watches have "FLIX" on the wristban, notice amazon's picture does not.
#2 - search for the Product Code: T5H591 on the Timex Website and you will find this model is not a FLIX.

This review is from: Timex Men's T5H591 Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Watch (Watch)
I have purchased many Timex watches over the years and I am entirely satisfied with this watch. I always buy the sports watch, as I swim and do triathlons.
Things I like about the watch:
*Setting the watch is easy and the instructions are clear (although the printed instructions are very small!)
* The watch is not too big. So many watches have too many features and they are large, bulky, and heavy. This watch is sleek, has a low profile, and has a size that is ideal for average needs.
* The numbers are big enough to see easily at a glance.
* There are enough useful options, and this watch is not overloaded with too many options. Too many options are confusing to me. I like the simplicity of this watch and the ease of use of the options it has.
* I like the plastic watch band. I have tried the velcro strap bands and they wear out after a year or so of use. The plastic band will eventually break, but is fairly easy...Read more
