Affordable, durable, light and full of features,
It took a while for Timex to come out with a new Ironman watch that would turn me back from my Casio G-Shock. This one caught my eye.
It has a bright white LCD display which far out-shines the Casio, 3 alarm types (daily, weekdays and weekends – an intelligent arrangement), 3 time zones, stopwatch, a backward timer and an appointment reminder (with preset appointment names to choose from such as, “birthday”).
This watch offers plenty of surprises – aside from offering you the features listed above, it actually offers you the ability to turn them off. What this means is you can remove the appointment reminder or the 3rd alarm type (for example) from the mode cycle.
The Indiglo lighting was another surprise. At first, in regular indoor lighting, I thought Indiglo wasn’t working. It wasn’t until I brought the watch into a darker room that I could see why. All the digital watches I’ve seen light the face with a blueish hue – but this new breed of Ironman lights up just the digits themselves in a negative orange-on-black appearance. The effect isn’t nearly as bright as the “flashlight” typical LCD’s project but it does allow you to read the time… and is probably one of the ways Timex managed to get a 6 year battery life out of these models.
All in all, a nice find – and finding it at Amazon for 27% off was even nicer!

|Great Watch, Nice Price,
I bought the Timex 5E931 Ironman from Amazon about a month ago, after researching several Timex and Casio watches. So far, I’ve been very pleased with it.
I’ve previously had two Casio G-Shock watches which were indeed indestructible (except for the black plastic bits around the face, and the little loop for the band). My main problem with the G-Shocks was their thickness which would cause them to catch when putting on a shirt or jacket.
This Timex is much more attractive and comfortable to wear. The contrasting dark blue and silver colors and reasonable size give it a classy look. And it feels much lighter on my wrist. The large display is very easy to read. My only minor cosmetic complaint is the tiny orange “M” on the face which seems a little goofy (but I think all Ironman watches have something like that).
I’ve been impressed with the accuracy of the watch which only gains about a second per week (about four times better than my Casios). I use the stopwatch feature for timing a variety of things at work and at home.
For $[...] at Amazon (with free shipping) it’s a great bargain.

|Watch is OK If You Can Wear It,
The watch is fine, but the watchband is resin (plastic) and like others I have owned, break within a year or so from normal flexing. Mine did and I cannot find a replacement band in stores or online. Thus 2 stars because the watch works, the band doesn’t.
