5.0 out of 5 stars The most "ADD-Friendly" watch around!, March 18, 2005

By 

Annie (Virginia, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timex Mens Watch #T53722 (Watch)

This watch is the best watch I have seen for people who need reminders for ... well ... ANYTHING! That's the beauty of this watch - you type in whatever you want the watch to remind you.

It comes with a program on a CD that you install onto your computer, and a cable that you plug into a USB port (I leave mine plugged in). After that, you hook-up your watch and start entering data. Hit "send" when you're done, and your watch is now a PDA on your wrist.

The types of information you can store run the gamut from different time zones, alarms, appointments, contacts (it works with Microsoft Outlook), occasions, schedules (follow your favorite team), and notes (misc stuff that you always seem to forget). And you can password protect it!

Since it's a sports watch, you have various timer functions as well: 200-lap chronograph, countdown timer, interval timer, synchro timer. Did I say it was water resistant to 100 meters? But don't press any buttons while under water.

Now, there are some negatives, however small:
1. If you change your own battery, make sure you put the back on the same way it came off. If you put it on upside down, you may find you have no sound.

2. Depending on your usage, the battery should last quite a long time. If you do get a LO Battery warning, first check to see if the indiglo night still works. If it does, then your battery is fine; you just got a false warning. If it doesn't, then it's time to change the battery.
(Note: To help get rid of the false 'lo battery' message, go to the timex website and download their upgrade/patch to fix that little bug.)

3. This one is just a nuisance - I'd like it to have a vibrate option for when you're in a place where 'beeps' aren't exactly appreciated, but you'd still like a reminder about something.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Tech & some Sports Functionality - Look no further!, July 28, 2004

By 

Turbo - See all my reviews

I have used serveral databank type watches since they first came out. This is by far the best technology watch on the market today if you are looking for something that can hold all kinds of info such as phone numbers, IDs, email addresses, alarms, appointments, as well as some sports info such as lap or workout times. The watch buttons are easy to use and Timex did a great job of using the crown to provide speedy access to features and info on this watch!

For sports functionality it's pretty good as far as workout timers, countdown & stopwatch functionality. But this doesn't do heart rate, BP or other advanced medical stuff, nor does it have a outdoorsman type things like a compass or GPS (but those types of watches cost way more than this watch & won't store data like this one).

I need to keep around all kinds of info with me (much more than I can usually remember - especially since people seem to switch email and cell phones right about the time I finally memorize them). I've searched & waited for a watch which you could program (easly) through your computer and this is it! In the past I've used watches where you have to enter all the info using the buttons on the watch (extremely tedius). Since this connects to your computer via a USB cable, you can suck all kinds of contact, and calendar/appt info from Outlook or other apps right into your watch. A HUGE time saver and you can keep them in sync (e.g. if a phone number changes - change it in Outlook then resync automatically with the watch the next time you hook it up - very similar to using a PDA). If the battery ever runs out you don't have re-enter everything - just replace the battery and re-sync! If you don't use Outlook or other PC software like it, you can also just use the Timex software to enter and preserve the info you want to keep on your watch.

You can control everything through the software such as display options, beep/alarm options, and you can even password protect your contact info in case you are prone to losing things!
This watch is also expandable and programmable so geeks (such as myself) can write new little apps that run on the watch. There are apps you can download to store golf scores, calorie counters, training software, etc.

This watch also works with something called iCal where you can download all kinds of calendar events to your watch (US holidays, football team schedules, movie release dates, etc. - you name it, there's an iCal calendar for it - all easy to get to on the internet). Timex has links to all this software and iCal stuff on their site: www.timex.com/datalink/software/

And all this in an average (but good) looking sports watch, not some giant geekville watch. I used to carry aound my Palm PDA to have access to all this info, but that was too bulky & I'd forget it at home some days - now it all fits on my wrist - it's 100m water resistent too so I even keep it on while swimming so I don't forget it somewhere. All I can say is thank you Timex (and the geeks who thought this product up and pushed it through to fruition - I'm sure it wasn't easy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Scheduler with no battery worries!, May 16, 2004

By 

"mpc657" (Milford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timex Mens Watch #T53722 (Watch)

An organizer on your wrist. This product has been on my arm for the last four months. It has lots of memory for phone numbers and addresses. Schedule multiple events per day with a very clear and user friendly scheduler on your pc. A cable links the watch to your usb easily and the recognition is instantaneous. Check the alarm box and sset the alarm time on the pc. Sure enough, the watch will sound with your choice of many alarm sounds. The phone list is easy to access. Bump through modes with one button then use the watch dial to scroll through names or events. This machine plays games, lets you input notes, delete appointment entries, and tons more. No it does not get email or interact with pcs wirelessly, but appointments, phone numbers and data on your wrist is an excellent start. Super backlighting helps at night. The time modes give the day, month and date as well as am/pm and hour, minute, second. The watch is contoured. it is light and comfortable. There is no electronic organizer that comes close to this machine ( and I've had many!)

I am a teacher with too little time on my hands and too much need for my scheduler. This watch is a terrific help.
