Product Description
Accept no imitations or limitations. There is only one Timex IRONMAN* Triathlon®. Stylish enough for the weekend warrior, technical enough for the extreme athlete. Don't swim, bike, run, jump, climb, throw, or kick without one.

Amazon.com Product Description
Rock your body during extreme workouts with the Timex T53781 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features shock resistance to ISO standards--enabling it to withstand breakage under adverse conditions. It features a gray body with bluish-gray resin top ring insert and a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 30-lap memory recall, 99-lap counter, and 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions. Other features include a daily/weekday/weekend alarm with 5-minute backup, built-in setting reminder, a durable nylon Fast Wrap strap (with Velcro fastener) with Scotchlite reflective material, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

5 out of 5 stars A basic timepiece   January 3, 2009
The watch seems ok so far. It's construction appears to be solid and durable. I did replace the velcro wrist strap with a buckle wrist strap; the strap was $6.00 at Target, took about two minutes to install (the two retaining pins are spring-loaded), and feels secure.


2 out of 5 stars The watch is durable, but the nice looks fade fast   November 28, 2008
I bought this as a low-cost diver's watch. The 200 m rating, easy-to-read display, and Velcro strap give it the versatility to wear on the boat, in the pool or scuba diving. I'm happy to report that the watch still works fine after six months of wear and a week of diving. But it looks as if it's ten years old. The decorative trim on the wrist strap started to crack and decompose after two or three hours in salt water. The finish on the grey plastic case has also started to chip. I haven't babied the watch, but I haven't abused it either (running across bricks or concrete, for example). I'm disappointed that a watch marketed for being rugged has proven to be such a wimp.


3 out of 5 stars Fast Strap Disaster   July 9, 2007

The variety of Timex Ironman I got was actually discontinued probably for the same reason that this one will soon be as well -- The "fast strap" wrist band is a velcro coated strip of nothing held in place by a velcro fastener that will come un-secured when you do something basic like remove your jacket. Mine came off twice while engaged in such activities, then just the other night the thing simply fell off my arm while out hiking ... and I failed to notice it until having returned to my assigned domicile. The thing is GONE and I am here to warn potential buyers about the "fast strap" fad, which is probably great for Timex' business because now I have to buy another stinkin' watch.

The moral of my story: CHECK TO SEE THE BAND TYPE AND FASTENER, with the emphasis being on looking for the word BUCKLE. It's up to you when you remove your watch, not the watch itself, and I hope whoever found mine will enjoy loosing it themselves. Other than that this Ironman series is great, I loved the split lap function and the back illumination was bright enough to signal overflying aircraft with. But if given the chance to meet the Timex executive who decided the "fast strap" feature was a really good idea I would punch him/her right in the nose.

I ordered the Ironman first, then returned it because it looked like I got it from a quarter vending machine. Ended up getting a Nike Oregon Superwatch and am extremely happy with it.
