Great watch - Nice large display!!
After my old Timex Ironman finally died after 21 years of reliable service (may it rest in peace after 4 replacement bands and 5 replacement batteries!!), I decided Timex deserved another sale from me!
So I went surfing on the Timex website. So many Timex Ironman watches to choose from! But this one stood out for two reasons. 1) It has a nice simple design without a lot of "noise". 2) A nice large readable display. So I took the plunge!
Indeed, Timex has definitely improved on their Ironman watches in the last 21 years. Most notably, the Indiglo light has greatly improved. It used to just light up the background. Now, it brightly lights up the actual digits which makes it undeniably readable without any eye strain. Another great improvement are in the set features. While the older models could only be set forward (in other words, if you went past your set point, you would need to go all the way around), this model lets you set forward and backward (so if you go too far, you can step back without going around).
I don't understand one of the reviewers saying that the watch is too small. The face is quite large. The band may seem narrow in proportion to the watch face, but not excessively so. The band is 19mm wide and fits me just fine.
Highly recommended!!
