Amazon.com Product Description

Keep your sports training focused with the stylish Timex T5E261 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a silver resin top ring and top pusher for easy access to split and lap times. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 100-lap memory recall, 199 lap counter, on-the-fly recall of lap or split, and interval timers settable up to 24 hours (9 timers with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat). The training log stores workouts by date, with best lap, average lap, and total segment time, and the total run format/synchro timer maintains total activity time (less time paused during workout and overall running time. Other features include two time zones, built-in setting reminders, water resistance to 100 meters, and a black fast-wrap strap.

It incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward "flick" of the wrist with a sharp "stop" will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice watch, but the strap???, January 3, 2007

By	N. Berry "north" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like another reviewer said, the strap on this watch leads much to be desired. It is sewn to the watch, so presumably if the strap goes, the watch goes. And since I purchased it to use when I work out/excercise, I wonder how the cloth/velcro will react to sweat over time.

Regarding the watch itself, I'm very pleased. The time is displayed VERY LARGE which is kind of comical...but it does the job.

EDIT: After about a month of use, the paint is starting to chip/scrape off around the face. And the watch has seen no abuse at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement Watch - A difficult Decision...., January 15, 2007

By	Gerard M. Ford (North Massapequa, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed to replace another Timex Ironman 100 lap watch I had purchased a few years back (the rubber frame that holds the strap broke). Really liked this watch because of the large readout, ease of use, lap calculation. I'm a Marathoner and novice Triathlete, so a good, simple, versatile watch is an important piece of equipment for me. After looking for over a month, I decided to purchase the Timex Triathlon 100 Lap Flix System Watch, and I'm glad I did. Great readout, easy button control (start and split are much more pronounced - great improvement) and a very sturdy velcro strap makes this a winner for me. I've already used the timer function with alarm for my swim and bike intervals, and of course the chrono function with splits is easy to read and use. This is a great watch!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cons - Pros, August 18, 2006

By	J. Smith (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Things I DO NOT like about this watch.

The strap is velcro, which is a plus, but its not a simple strap you have to pull it thru a plastic connector to loop it around to strap it on. This connector is slightly smaller than the velcro and its a pain to get the watch on using one hand, also its a little on the small side but not too small.

The timepiece itself is little on the large side than other timex pieces I've owned.

The velcro strap is physically sewn into the timepiece, I hope it never breaks you cannot change this strap.

The flix system requires you to shake it extensively, I found myself unable to do it comfortable so I wont do it at all.

What i DO like about it. The display is extremely easy to read, even at night when you press the indigo. I was able to set this watch up completely the moment I opened it, no manual needed, even tho its included very simple to operate.
