Product Description

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 T53964 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 nylon Fast Wrap strap (with Velcro fastener), 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.

Timex Brand
The Timex Watch Company

Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.

The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.

During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.

The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.

One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo® lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.

Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timex DataLink PDA Sports Watch, January 9, 2007

By	S. Allen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The watch is FANTASTIC ... I only wish it came in a less 'bulky' style. The watch is a bit large for anyone with a small wrist, it is obviously ment for an adult male. Timex should be less 'sexist', women like and need technology as much as men. However, the bulk should not deter anyone from getting this or a similar model IF it offers the functions they need/want.

I opted for this watch after trying the WatchMinder. I have Adult ADD and the ability to have 'reminders' with me at all times (without having to always carry an extra 'appenedage' ... PDA, cell phone, notebook, etc.) is a major plus for me. The WatchMinder, which is no less 'bulky' has some features that are not available on the Data Link, but it is also appreciably more complex to program, each 'reminder' has to be manually entered. With the Timex, information (appointments, daily 'reminders', etc.) are easily transfered from Outlook via a USB cable ... and you can either transfer the complete database or selected information. The entire process is extremely simple and user-friendly.

I highly recommend this product, for anyone who needs/wants easy access to reminders for important events and activities ... or to their personal information database/calendar.

As for the vendor ... no complaints there either. The entire transaction was completely satisfactory, I would definately recommend the vendor and would do business with them again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great !, January 12, 2005

By	J. Caridi (Gainesville, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I needed a PDA to keep up with appointments and store my contact list, but didn't want to pay alot for it. This watch, for less than $60, reminds me of my appointments and stores all my contacts. What a Bargain! And to top it all off I don't have another box dangling from my belt. Thanks Timex. My only complaint is the cheap velcro wrist band that comes standard. Otherwise, this watch get 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Data Watch, July 27, 2006

By	C. Lake (Orange Park, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am pleased with the ease of use and programming of the watch. A minor annoyance is having to use the watch stem to scroll through some of the screens. The biggest drawback is the watch band. When I first opened the watch, I thought they shipped me a female watch by mistake by the width of the band. I later found that Timex considers this a "unisex" band. The lack of Velcro surface will be a problem in the long run and the rubber keeper added by Timex to resolve this falls on the floor 80% of the time when I take my watch off. If I were to purchase again, I would purchase one of the models with the non-Velcro band. Will probably purchase one of those bands now to make my review 4 3/4 stars.
