I have this for about a week now. Very easy to use. It is very light
on my wrist and comfortable to wear for running and for outdoor sports.
I bought it for the stop watch/chrono function and the countdown timer.
Both work well and are easy to use. Also the display lights easily and
is clearly visible. I am very happy with this.

I got this as a gift for my Dad who has always enjoyed wearing running
watches on a daily basis. We have always went with the Ironman brand as
it is a durable and easy to use watch. The picture shows exactly what
you get--no surprises with the look of the watch which is nice. I was
able to setup the time and date within a matter of minutes which is
always a good thing. I will continue to buy the Ironman running watches
for years to come.

It's a good watch. I got it for CrossFit stuff and training. The
buttons function well. The strap takes some getting use to, but I like
it and I'm super happy with the purchase. I would recommend this
product. The band came off but I got it put back on for free at Fred
Meyers no problem. It was user error.

I used the Casio f-91w before I got this Ironman watch. I started using
the Ironman today. The display has lower readability than the display on
the f-91w, despite the numbers being bigger, due to the following:
lower contrast, there's an annoying shadow at the edges of the display
unless the lighting conditions are perfect, the green reflecting effect
is pointless, and lastly, you have to tilt the watch a little right and
left, backwards and forwards until you find a good angle. This was never
a problem with the f-91w.
It has some advantages compared to the
Casio f-91w though which are all the features it has. One example is
that the stopwatch goes up to 100 hours. On the f-91w it just goes up to
1 hour and then it starts over again. Another example is the backlight
which is much better on this Ironman than on the f-91w. Yet another
thing I like about the Ironman is that you can turn off the beep that is
sounded when buttons are pressed which you cannot do on the f-91w. It
also appears to be sturdier built than the f-91w.
update
I
just noticed that even though it says you can turn off the beep, you
can't turn it off entirely. When the setting is for the beep to be off
it still beeps for some functions. For example the stopwatch beeps no
matter if the beep is set to on or off.

I bought this watch for its ability to time my laps on a track as I
train for a marathon. I love the simple design and the easy to operate
programs. Great buy for 30 bucks.
I'm an athletic guy and the
watch went through a lot, but after 6 months the band broke. Instead of
making band replacement easy, it seems as though Timex intends to have
their customers buy a new watch. That sucks. Looking elsewhere, but
loved the watch so much, I might fall for Timex's scheme...

this product is supposed to be water resistant it says on the back of
the watch) , but guess what? the first use in a swiming pool it broke! i
cant give it back becuase im from south america and i buy things from
amazon in an international mailbox. This product is just not worth it.
