Amazon.com Product Description

Keep yourself sharp when training for that 10K race (or just trying to lose a couple pounds) and keep yourself on time for important appointments with the Timex T53722 Data Link USB Ironman digital watch. It combines the convenience of a personal organizer with the performance of a full-function, digital timepiece, and it easily connects to your PC for synchronization of schedules as well as timing data. It features a matte resin body with metallic top ring, durable polyurethane strap, crown for easy setting, 2-year battery life, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

Sport training features include a 200-lap chronograph with multiple session memory, multiple countdown timers with labels, multi-event interval timers, and dual setting options. The included software works with Microsoft Outlook for Windows PCs (Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP), and it enables you to set hundreds of alarms, timers, and interval timers as well as choose custom sounds.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best watch I have EVER owned., December 26, 2005

Lets start with the only two negatives: Rather large size and you need a PC with a USB port. Now that is over with, this is a terrific watch! The program installs easily on the PC and ALL data is put on the watch with a very slick program. I put in all my addresses, birth days, appointments, and a ton of utilities (and games- let's not forget games!). The screen is very large and easily read. The band is solid and (once you learn how) easily adjusted for size. There are dozens of app that can be downloaded that other folks have written for the watch. I can set the watch time by updating the PC with NIST and then attaching my watch (poof within a second of dead accurate). Keeps time well, the buttons are easily pushed but not obtrusive. The birthdays and appointments slide down a week scale on the watch so I do not get surprised.
So lets see what I have right now: countown timer for walking and swimming, stopwatch, couple dozen contacts (including chinese place), black jack, scientific calulator, magic 8 ball, yathzee, occasion, and options.
Seconds to connect, change things and redownload. all data can be stored on a backup so never have to do it twice.
What a great watch!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great UNTIL you have to replace the battery, January 9, 2006

This review is from: Timex Men's T53722 Ironman Data Link USB Watch (Watch)

I have owned this watch for over a year.

When I first got it, I absolutely loved it. It was so great having all your phone numbers, appointments, etc... in the watch and having it remind you your anniversary was coming up so you wouldn't forget it... and it worked great with both my PC at work and my PC at home. The only drawback was - there was no way to synch up data between the two. I wish Timex had a way to upload data to the watch from one PC, then download it to another PC so you could change it, but they don't. But that was only a minor nit-pick.

After what didn't seem like all that long, the watch stopped communicating with my USB port. It said I should replace the battery. I replaced the battery and it didn't help! It still wouldn't communicate with my PC.

Not only that, I lost all my entries! So... the memory in the watch is volatile (i.e. it doesn't save your data when the battery is replaced).

There's absolutely no way to put data into the watch manually (i.e. without a computer) so it can't be used "stand-alone".

So on battery #2, I just used the watch as a normal stopwatch.

Now it needs another battery! Gesh! Do I buy battery #3? Or just buy another watch? Seems all that databank memory wears down the battery quicker than a normal watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great functions but short band and battery life, July 9, 2007

POSITIVES:
This watch truly is a PDA on your wrist. The number of alams/appointments/notes that you can set is limited only by the generous 32k of memory. 32k doesn't seem like much, but for a watch it ALOT.

My favorite feature are the appointments that you can set. It allows you to set an alarm (one-time, weekly, monthly, yearly, weekends, week-days), along with a note-reminder so that you can remember what it is for, and with a customizable reminder (1-hour before appointment, 2-hours etc). Awesome feature and this is the ONLY watch that I've seen with this feature.
You can also set notes with a 2-alphanumeric password. Good for storing license plate numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers etc.
Customizable menus. Only keep the menus you want and put them in the order you want.
Multiple countdown timers. I have ones set for 2,5,10,15,20,30 minutes as well as multiple hour countdown timers.
USB connectivity works well, I've never had any problems.
Indiglo night light.
Waterproof to 100m. I wear my watch everywhere. In the shower, pool, etc.

NEGATIVES:
Battery only last about 1 to 1 1/2 years. I've had to replace mine 3 or 4 times now. Also, your local Wal-Mart will not do it (too complicated) so you have to take it to a jeweler.
Watch band is proprietary. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid Timex! It is a 19mm band, but it has silly projections that require a one-of-a-kind band. (Look at the picture, the black part is the band - see how it projects into the silver watch face area?). Only www.voguestrap.com carries these custom bands and they seem to always be "out of stock". I have gone through 3 bands now (mine just broke again!)
Cheap metallic finish flakes off after about 1 year and look cheap.
I have had several of the screws on the front face come off (notice the 4 screws on the corners of the face?). However, it hasn't negatively affected the watch.
The face scratches a little easier than other watches. No biggie. Just use some superfine sandpaper or a fingernail buffer.

WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN?
Probably. I've been spoiled by the appointment and multiple countdowns and all the other watches with multiple alarms seem to start off at around $45. However, I will order multiple replacement bands as soon as they are in stock again!
