| I bought this watch for athletic events and training. Thus far the watch has proved to be durable, reliable, and sufficient for my needs. |
Very nice durable watch

| I have owned two of the Ironman watches and i must say that both are very good. The rubber strap is very comfortable and is rather light weight. The watch has all the needed modes (ie: stopwatch, timer, alarm) and each works easily with little complication. The watch is very easy to read with the time, date and day along with any modes running in the back round. I have also taken this watch scuba diving at 80 feet with no problem, and is fully waterproof. The night light works nicely, but late at night due to the green glow your eyes may take a second to adjust enough to read it. The only real problem i have found owning this watch is the "mode" button on the bottom left is in a spot that if the watch is at your wrist and you move your wrist up it may push this button. So when you look at the time you are in the timer or stopwatch mode instead. Neither of these two downsides are nearly large enough to not own this watch though. |
Good basic training watch

I bought this watch because I run at night and neeeded something that would light up with no fumbling around. I had never used a FLIX featured watch before however after a few weeks I have found it indispensible. Begin able to turn on the watch with the flick of your wrist without needing both hands helps me keep stride.
The numbers are large and the controls are intuitive. The indiglo shows through the numbers instead of on top of face so the contrast between the numbers and the surrounding area is high. I have not used the occasion or alarm features so I don't have comments on those. I wish it would store a time and allow recall on multiple times instead of splits but that is a minor inconvienence. |
good watch, holds up well

My husband has worn this exact kind of Ironman watch for about 10 years. He got his first one a decade ago as a gift from my mother, and since then has had 2 replacements, the most recent being one I got him for Christmas this year. He wears the watch primarily to work in a factory, so it gets banged up quite a bit. If he didn't wear it to work, the watch would last much longer.
This version of the Ironman watch is an improvement over the last one he got a few years ago. There's now a way to toggle the options on the watch on or off, so you don't have to scroll through all options every time you want to set just one. There are 3 alarms while the previous version had 2, and my husband prefers this kind of Indiglo rather than the older kind. The only problem with the watch is the band. It was the weak spot in the 2 previous watches my husband wore, breaking long before the watch itself broke. |
Great watch!

| I like this watch. Its not too bulky for my skinny wrist. The face shows the time in large enough numbers so its easy to see. I've only had it for about a month, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. |
