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 T5B111 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 metal expansion band, 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 Very useful features, December 14, 2005

This review is from: Timex T5B111 Data Link USB Watch (Watch)

I've had this watch several months now, and like it very much. I used to wear the Data Link model that read data off the computer screen, but they don't work with LCD monitors, and the accessory that allows use with LCDs is no longer available. The buttons on that watch had developed contact bounce so bad that it was nearly impossible to use anyway, so it was time for a change.

My only complaints so far with this watch are that the tiny shaft encoder that's operated by the stem, to scroll through menus and enter data, is rather touchy. It skips frequently, forcing you to rotate the stem back to the choice you wanted. Also, the stem clicks as you turn it, but the detents don't necessarily occur coincident to the selections. In other words, it takes some fiddling to enter data. But it's not that bad, and pretty amazing that they could fit an encoder in there at all. It's fine as long as it doesn't get worse with use, because entering data can take a lot of stem rotation.

And I wish Timex would use a crystal face instead of plastic, because it doesn't take long for it to get scuffed and scratched, no matter how careful you are.

But other than those small complaints, the watch is a joy to use, the software and cable work perfectly, and the features and flexibility are bound to make your life easier.

Edit: After a year or so, the shaft encoder has become somewhat worse, sometimes skipping a dozen or more letters in a single click of the stem. Rather frustrating to use, but eventually I can get to the data I'm after. Also, while simply standing still the other day, I heard a ping as the metal front of the watch simply popped off and landed at my feet, leaving two little grounding springs poking out. I scraped the old glue off with an x-acto knife, carefully applied some epoxy, and glued it back on. Seems to me they could do better in that regard too.

This is my third Data Link watch. The first one was one of the original metal models that read downloaded data through the CRT. Overall, I liked that one especially the glass crystal and what was then a new concept. However, it was much heavier and the metal around the edges of the case eventually wore to a rough finish and buttons broke. The second one was similar to this one except with the resin band. The second model was purchased at Wal-Mart. It did not last nearly as long as the first one. The resin band cracked, a screw fell out of the face and it quit lighting up for dark viewing. So far, I like this third one. It was a bit difficult to take links out to adjust the expansion band. However, after a couple of links were removed, I like it much better than the resin band model and I paid less than what I had paid at Wal-Mart. While I like the watches features, it does not completely replace a PDA. It does however hold contact information that I can have with me in circumstances when I would not carry a PDA (swimming, etc.) I like this watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars DATALINK USB WATCH fits my style, January 10, 2007

In the past I have purchased DATALINK watches that required the Watch to be held in front of the Monitor and the Data was downloaded from the PC to the watch using an electronic eye in the watch to scan the video patterns. I find this newer version to be much more convenient as I usually upload things such as occasion or contacts on a more or less weekly basis. I use medications and I find the alarm settings for that is easy. Instructions for each type of setting are clear on the monitor and to use the watch for other titles is relatively easy for example I am not very athletic so I converted one title so I have Business Contacts and the normal Contacts are personal friends and relatives. If you need an Ipod or more extensive features by all means spend more money if you are a person with a normal amount of friends,aquaintances and family business contacts the Datalink is not expensive and suits my purpose.
