Perfect little watch.
Perfect little watch.I was looking for an inexpensive digital watch that was both waterproof and backlit. This does both. It's comfortable, not excessive in design, light, functional, and looks like it will withstand general use.

Solid watch
This review is for the Timex Ironman Black/Red accent.The watch is typical band, that rubbery feel band. Comfort is fine to me. Style wise, I picked this over several less appealing styles. its not totally circular, or squarish. It should be fairly easy to clean, and I usually wipe it down once a week or so. Will fit as long as your arm isnt as beefy as Popeye.Setting time in theory is simple, no instructions needed. Was a little tricky though, as I was using my phone as reference to try and set exactly. Problem is getting used to the button and which to press when. I spent a good 5min alone navigating the time setings, until I could get within 15 seconds of the phones time and finally set it.Setting the Month/Day was similar to time, but obviously easier because you arent trying to set to match down to seconds as close as possible.I do wish the indiglo backlight was a bit stronger at least. Its worthless during day time obviously. In dark, is useable, but feels too dim in my opinion. I suppose its to ensure it doesnt waste battery power, but I am not so worried about wasting power for a watch.I have not setup the alarms so have no comment on them.Price wise, style, useablity, and compared to similar priced equivalents, its a buy

Great watch with multiple functions.
As reliable watch with multiple features. I use it as my alarm clock. With multiple time zones, it comes in handy when traveling abroad. The indiglo light is bright which makes it easy to read in the dark. I also use it to track my time when running.

Great Watch -Some Concerns
I have purchased Timex Iron Man series, and similar, watches for many years. They are an excellent value, with good functionality overall.However, there has been one overriding negative design feature that should have been dealt with a long time ago. That is the strap quality. The strap appears to be silicone, and over time removing the strap causes it to crack prematurely, and break. The watch still functions wonderfully, but the straps are NOT replaceable. Therefore, you either need to cut of most of the strap and use it as a pocket watch (which I will NOT do), or THROW THE WATCH AWAY.Secondly, the Indiglo light design has been changed from older iterations of the watch. Older Indiglo lighting was much brighter and easier to read than in this model. Also, the text font size is now smaller and harder to read. Lastly, the button to activate the Indiglo traditionally was on the lower right button. Now, it has been moved to the upper right button. After many years of knowing where it was, it has been irritating to now still push the wrong button initially.

Low profile, hard use.
Watch is awesome. I was a G-Shock dude for over twenty years. I got so tired of how THICK g-shocks are so I stepped out on my relationship and tried this little baddie. I must say that it has been great. Very LOW profile, doesn’t catch on my sleeve a million times a day, and the face is very easy to read, high visibility. Price is right too. I have worn it hard and put it away wet. Highly recommend.

Tough little watch
This is a great little watch. Affordable, but can definitely take a beating. I’m currently serving active duty in the US Army, and I bought this model before I shipped to basic training. It made it through without a problem and is still going strong!

Great watch with well thought out features
I was looking for a sports watch that can also work great as a daily driver. Wouldn't even consider a G-Shocks, as I'm ex-military, and G-Shocks just remind me of the service. So... Ended up buying this little watch, and it really is much better than a G-Shock. Pros:1. The watch is 38 mm and fits perfectly on my 6.1" wrist.2. Strap is comfortable.3. Legibility is great, large readable digits.4. Has 3 alarm clocks, each with a different tone.5. Lights keep working as long as you're pressing buttons. That means you can finish setting whatever you need, without needing to press for lights again. Lights turn off several seconds after last press.6. Buttons are large and comfortable.7. Helps me use my smartphone less, as I'm not reaching for it anymore to tell the time and set timers.8. Unused features can be completely turned off, so they don't clutter the interface.Cons-1. Alarm clock is pretty loud. But I'm a deep sleeper, and I don't completely trust it to wake me up. Maybe if I set all 3 alarms consecutively, it might wake me up.2. Rarely, the strap pinches my arm hair.3. The occasion mode is pretty useless now that we have smartphones (But can be completely turned off).Overall really impressed with this watch, all the features feel really well thought out. I would highly recommend buying.

Great watch!
My husband loves this watch because he can tell the time without having to put on reading glasses! He likes the digital time and having the date feature. This is the second one he’s bought. The other one lasted about 20 years and then the strap finally broke. Not bad for the price!!
