So I started running again and wanted to get a good but inexpensive running watch. After doing some research, I chose the Timex Women's Ironman Triathlon Sleek 50/100 Watch. This was a great purchase. The watch is comfortable. The band helps prevent excessive sweating on the wrist. The numbers are large and easy to read when running a race or just during training.

I've had my watch for about a month and I love it so far. It did great in deep waters a few weeks ago while I was free diving in the Bahamas. The only downfall is you're not suppose to push any buttons under the water. The color of the watch is a pastel purple/blue. It has a lot of features in which I haven't tried yet but overall it's a great watch for a great price! :-) Good luck

Seems like a good watch. All the right features and easy to use. Two problems. First was moisture under the glass after a swim merely 4 months since purchasing. The other problem is minor, but the gloss on the purple finish is starting to chip away and make it look a little rough around the edges. It does have a warranty, but you have to pay for shipping there and include $7 for return shipping.

It's a great watch for running, better than the Nike running watch that I got as a gift. The Timex has more functions than the Nike, for example, its interval timer tells you which repeat you're on, cumulatively. You can't go wrong with this. I've had it for 3.5 years now, 2 marathons, 3 half marathons, countless 5 & 10Ks later...still "ticking"!

Very light and easy to use. I haven't open the instructions yet. The colors on the buttons fade quickly tough.

I have owned 2 of these watches... I bought the second one hoping that the first one I owned was just a dud. This watch is great at first. I love the colors and the sleek design of it. However, after a few months of wear, the band pulls away from the actual watch part. The second one I purchased did the same thing. I even tried super gluing it back together. I was so dissapointed because I really really wanted to love this watch :( Unfortunately, don't waste your money on this watch until they change the design.

I've had numerous Ironman watches and I think they are great. I use all the features, time, chrono, timer, alarms and they are easy to set and use.

I am training with my sister for a half marathon and needed a watch that would do internals, this watch works great for that! I have only used the clock, interval and timer and so far they are fabulous!

I have worn this watch for a number of 1/2 marathons, work outs, etc. But my first triathlon in it ruined it. I hit the lap button while coming out of the water and the watch no longer shows all numbers. The instruction manual says do not push buttons in water (I did not read that until it was too late). However, this watch is marketed to triathletes, so you think it could have laps kept while swimming. Apparently not. Aside from that I loved the watch. I still may order another. I just won't use it for swimming.

This is my third Ironman Sleek 50-Lap watch in about 5 years. I really love the watch itself, though the reason I have to keep ordering new ones is that the band tends to be flimsy and crack or break after a year or two. Also, the watch face easily pops out of the band.
