1 glitch but otherwise, so-far-so-good,

This review is from: Timex Unisex T5K047 Black Ironman Sleek iControl Resin Strap Watch (Watch)
It has performed exactly as described. I chose this one for its plain, no frills styling (all black...I like it that way)and size. I made sure I purchased the largest, plainest model available so it couldn't be confused with the female versions. It is quite large; I like that, too.
I'm not so fond of the wrist band styling, but it's not a major issue although I wish it was fastened onto the watch body in a more traditional manner. I wish it had the push-pins that other watches have so you could purchase a replacement band off the shelf and replace it yourself. This band appears to be integrated as part of the entire watch body. It seems sturdy, but if the band were to break it looks like you might need to have a jeweler replace it for you. I mention this because I've been pretty rough with all my previous Ironman products.
The glich:
I was on an elliptical machine at the healthclub that was wireless enabled for heart monitors and I think the...Read more

Using with the iPod Touch,
January 5, 2008 F. Brown "i am *THE* phranque" (United States) - See all my reviews
Since I am a techno-geek, the more gadgets the better. When I upgraded from the "nano" to the "Touch," it meant that I would have to unlock the Touch screen in order to change volume, skip to the next song or pause playing. With this I can merely go to my watch and do those things without having to move the Touch from where it is. Since I exercise regularly, this is great since it means I don't have to take the iPod from my pocket or its holster to do those things.
In addition, the watch has those functions that people who exercise like. Namely, a chronometer, timers with lap functionality. And the plus is that the alarm is loud enough to awaken me in the morning.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Timex Unisex T5K058 Green Ironman Sleek iControl Resin Strap Watch (Watch)
This is an excellent item for the ipod. I'm using this with the 80GB classic and it works like a charm. The range is great and I haven't had any glitches, lack of reception or radio interference.
Keep in mind that the receiver is powered by the ipod, so when not in use, you'll want to remover the receiver so you don't drain your battery. It doesn't make a significant impact on play time when in use, but you will see your power drop if you just let it site for hours at a time.
All in all, a great product.
Plus the watch works well in that respect as well. It's easy to read, super bright when you need the light, and the alarm will actually wake me up. It's also sealed to 328 feet, so you don't have to worry about the weather or diving. Just don't use the buttons underwater.
I love that I don't have to worry about my ipod getting wet when roaming the streets of Seattle anymore. Keeping it in a jacket pocket or slot in my bag while controlling it via the watch...Read more
