The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet)--suitable for swimming but not for diving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Marathon Tough, August 25, 2005

By	Doc Migs (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

Initial Review August 25, 2005

I am a distance runner.This watch has been very dependable and reliable in the 4 months of marathon training I have put it through. The watch itself is very readable and user friendly, training in the heart rate zones with the audible beep warnings lets you know exactly how you are performing. The chrono feature is what I am usually using and the review feature gives you the data that is most useful, how long you were in your target heart rate zone and how many calories you have expended during your run. The only criticism I have for the watch and heart rate monitor is that there is no interval time on the 30 lap watch. The chest strap is light weight and once it is adjusted properly feels barely there. I have cross trained with the product cycling and circuit training in the gym. It is a tough watch. It was a good buy.

Review Update, August 8, 2007

The chest monitor seperated after my last run this week. There is a center, left and right piece that come as one unit and the elastic band. Since I first purchased this product it has served me without problem. Four times a week, running, biking, the gym, and even brought it skiing with me in Taos, NM, it has held up. But this past week, it's age and durability have become evident. The watch has had its battery changed 3 times since I've had it and it has outlasted the chest monitor. I sold my Polar HRM when I bought this Ironman. That product was the basic Polar HRM with HR only. After 3 yrs with the polar, the unit held up without the deterioration my Timex displayed. I have recently placed an order for a Polar RS100.

2.0 out of 5 stars good watch, bad transmitter band, November 27, 2005

By	Dennis Paul (Liberty Lake WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I liked everything about this watch- easy to read, great price. Then the transmitter strap seperated at the joint between the main transmitter and the electrodes, making the unit worthless. Replacement band costs nearly as much as the entire unit. What good is a replaceable trasmitter battery if the strap breaks after 6 months. I replaced it with a Polar F6. It cost more, but if it lasts one year I'll be money ahead (plus it has a two year warranty). If it doesn't, replacement bands for the Polar are much easier to find, and cheaper.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised, April 3, 2006

By	Mark "Mark" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

the watch features are great, but I could not get it to read my heart rate. I have contacted Timex and they have sent me another watch, still no heart rate. Now they are sendind me another chest strap, this is two weeks after I purchased it. I don't think tha I shoudl be having this many problems with a new product. havein said that the customer service is great and they offer a cheap 5 year warranty for an additional $5. If the new strap does not work I am going to buy a Polar RS 100
