This watch is awesome. January 7, 2006

I was willing to spend up to $80 on a watch that/had did a few basic things:
1) large display with large easy-to-hit lap button
2) had at least two time-lines independently running, so that I could see a cumulative time and a last-lap time
This watch does it. I looked at other watches for more money and the money was not even a consideration, because this watch covers those perfectly.
I use it for speed work and road races. Its 50 lap is going to cover a person in any race (if you're doing an ultra marathon, they're not going to have mile markers that often anyway!). There are a couple of display formats, but I use the default, which has a cumulative time in the large numbers and, when one hits the lap button at a lap/mile, it freezes everything on the display, showing the cumulative at that last click as well as the last mile's time. It holds this for 10 seconds and then resumes, with the cumulative time on the bottom and the current lap on the top. One could probably switch those around, but I've not tried.
Its 50 lap memory works well.
Its 3 alarms are cool and it also has an interval timer, which I must admit I've not used.
Timex OBVIOUSLY put a lot of thought into the design and functionality of this watch. There are no silly things that were added that are of no use. Clearly they interviewed runners to determine exactly what this watch should have. The night mode is also cool--if one holds down the light button for 4 seconds, the watch enters night mode, and now any button click at all will turn the light on for a short bit. Very useful for night/early morning runs.

I am a College runner and have used a number of Timex Ironman watches. I do wish that I had found one with a 100 lap memory but 50 is still very good. I have found that the watch seems much smaller on my rist as compared to other sports watches but the number size (Which is important when you are running) is as big as any other watch out there. I have also found that this is the most intuitive watch in setting up the alarm,timer etc. The alarm is also much louder than others I have used (It is the only alarm I use to wake up for morning runs). I give the watch an A++
Yes, it has a countdown timer! July 30, 2007

I can't understand why other digital watches, like Casio, leave this feature out. This watch is lightweight, slim and elegant. Just what I was looking for. Most digitals are bulky and heavy. Clean face, easy buttons and great nightlight. It's a keeper. And the price is right.
GREAT watch May 17, 2006

This is the watch to get if you are a runner. All the features I need, very usable, has all the bells and whistles w/o being too much or overloaded. It even looks pretty good for a timex watch, I mean, its real basic, clean and functional, the oversize numbers are very handy, makes it easy to see your splits when running, the buttons are big and easy to find w/o being gaudy, and the wristband breathes well. Both the splits and the overall time run at the same time, which is also very nice, keeps me from having to look down multiple times to get the info I need during a run. Oh, and when you get the watch, look in the users guide paper and you can call in for a four year warranty on the watch for $5 - seems to be a good deal to protect against premature breakage. For $33, with the warranty thats less than $10 a year, less than $1 a month, this watch is well worth it.
Timex Sleek Watch is perfect for long-distance runners January 12, 2007

I bought the watch in Dec and have gone on many long runs where I needed to keep a constant pace. This watch is perfect for determining the pace at the mile markers. It's intuitive and very easy to use. Getting the data out is a little more difficult, but doable. I highly recommend it for runners.
