5.0 out of 5 stars Ironman 30 lap, February 17, 2010

This is the best watch for the money. This is my 3rd Ironman 30 Lap. They are virtually indestructible. I only upgrade when the battery gets low after about 4 years. I've tried other watches for a few months between 30 laps, but can't find anything I like as much and keep going back. Thinner than most. Forward and backward setting of times and alarms- you don't have to go 'around the horn' to set your alarm for 10 minutes earlier. Great features, accurate, and tough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch with replaceable strap!, May 25, 2008

This watch is very good at doing what it says it does. The multiple alarms (3) are really useful. The watch is slightly improved for the triathlon I had in the early 90s. Although it is a digital watch, it doesn't look too ostentatious. My favorite thing about this watch is that you can replace the strap if it breaks, which is not the case on the newer sleek-style timex watches (also I don't really like the way they look).

4.0 out of 5 stars A good value, November 3, 2010

This review is from: Timex Men's T5H581 Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Watch (Watch)

I've used a lot of running watches, and just retired my all-time favorite (an unnamed, competitive brand) which is too pricey to replace. This is my first Ironman in quite a few years. Purchased it online without viewing in a store first.

Pros:
* Intuitive, easy-to-learn functional interface.
* Ability to hide unused features so you don't needlessly scroll through them when pressing the Mode button (e.g. I've hidden the Occasion feature).
* Start/split button is centrally located and easy to press on the run.
* A small band clips into the end of the loose strap, neatly securing it so the strap end doesn't flop around.
* Comfortable on wrist.
* Not slim, but not overbearing either. Suitable for wearing all-day, while working or working out.

Cons:
* The "Ironman Triathalon" logo at the top of the watch face is distracting (Timex should remove it).
* Black digits against gray background are a bit difficult to read at a glance or in low light (e.g. I'd prefer white digits on a black background, or black digits on a light/white blackground).

Bottom line: A solid watch and a good value that, with a few tweaks, would be a great watch.
