Amazon.com Product Description
Keep your sports training focused with the stylish Timex T5E241 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a blue resin top ring sitting upon a metallic silver case and top pusher for easy access to split and lap times. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 100-lap memory recall, 199 lap counter, on-the-fly recall of lap or split, and interval timers settable up to 24 hours (9 timers with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat). The training log stores workouts by date, with best lap, average lap, and total segment time, and the total run format/synchro timer maintains total activity time (less time paused during workout and overall running time. Other features include two time zones, built-in setting reminders, water resistance to 100 meters, and a black polyurethane strap. It incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward "flick" of the wrist with a sharp "stop" will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds. 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.

 Timex Men's Watch T5E241 Blue Face Ironman Triathlon 100 Lap December 5, 2006

When you search for a very long time to find a watch that actually is setup perfectly and then luck would have it you are video-shopping (window shoping on amazon) and see the perfect watch...
...then you order it knowing it just can not live up to your expectations.
I was wrong!!!
I have found absolutely nothing I do not like about this watch. It is easy to setup/encode/set/reset/learn. The face of the watch is quite large making it easy to read under stressful situations and when you just "have to know the time or date NOW." The "FLIX" system I have not used much (because I can hit a button, ok) but it seems very easy to use (simply hold down the "indigo light" button: upper right hand button) until the watch beeps, FLIX is then "enabled." You cut it off the same way. When it is "on" you simply turn your wrist with a fast "stopping action" (as if you were checking your watch fast) and the light will auto-on for a brief time.
The crono setting and lap settings are the easiest to navigate and figure out ever. The buttons actually have "labels" which show up next to them. It has never been easier to learn a fairly complex watch. For the runners among us this watch has 100 lap memory, can remember your best times, do a countdown to crono function, and it even tracks your "best lap" if you do it in series (like you simply start the crono, and hit the big black button on the front for each lap). Then at the "end" of the race you hit stop and can "save" your results and then know your best time.
I love it. It is a large watch but who cares as it is light. The strap is not cloth, something I really like as I would never wear a cloth strap and it has a nice TAB IN HOLE locking feature on the belt that I like as well (all rubber). I can not say enough about how pleased I am with this purchase.
Last but most important: Almost all watches I have seen put the date in the upper right hand corner. This makes most dates unreadable ESPECIALLY at night. Is that a 7 or a 1? Is it the 1st of the month or 7th? I am terrible with remembering the date and to put the DAY and DATE in the lower display location was utter and total genius. If you were the designer of this watch face I owe you a beer and will gladdly buy you one. The setup is perfect for those that have a hard time reading "normal" digital watch displays.
FIVE OUT OF FIVE EASY. I would give it higher if I could. Timex has a winner here folks and if you look someplace else you will either not get the cool FLIX system, not get the 100 lap memory, not get the easy to read day/date display or get some crappy cloth band. Take my word for it, if functionality, easy-to-use, and value are the things that get you to purchase something, this is the watch for you. (Oh, and it just so happens that blue is my fav color so win win for me.)
Thanks Timex and Amazon for providing a quality product which was SO good I had to break my rule and actually do a review, my first one.

I really like the earth tone satin blue bezel color over the other model with the yellow highlights. The rubber (non velcro) band is the way to go. The wrist band hoop has a very nice "locking" feature - a small protrusion that holds it at the end of the strap. The watch has more features than I can list. Two easy to access time zones, multiple alarms, and a countdown timer are some of the noteworthy ones. It arrived in great shape. I'm extremely satisfied.

Bought watch to use in workouts at club and it is better than I had hoped for -- large numbers make it easy to read and functions are easy to use as well. Concerned about strap at first but it fits nicely and is comfortable if not fastened too tightly. All in all, a great bargain at the price and I'm delighted with the product -- looks great too.
Very nice, easy to use, comfortable, looks nice August 30, 2007

Just bought this watch a few weeks back. Very nice and simple -- I selected it because my near eyesight is poor, and it has big numbers. But it's very easy to use (big improvements in user interface over earlier LCD watches I have owned). The FLIX feature is nice, although it takes a lot of motion to turn it on -- still good when you have only one hand free.
Exceeded all of my expectations March 4, 2008

I've used Ironman watches for years and they've been reliable and a good value. But this watch is by far the best Ironman I've ever had. I'm 62 years old and I need a watch I can see without reading glasses but with goggles on when I'm swimming laps. The readout on this watch is really big and easy to read. (The watch itself is also really big, so if you have dainty wrists it may not be for you.)
The user interface has been completely redesigned and is much improved. A quick scan of the instructions and you'll be able to use all of the functions intuitively.
The only downside to this watch is that the alarm is not as loud at the Timex Expedition analog I also own.
Bravo to Timex for significantly improving on an already great product.
