Timex Mens Ironman Traditional 30 Lap Flix Watch T5H581

Keep your sports training focused with this full-sized, shock-resistant Timex Ironman Triathlon multi-function sport digital watch (model T5H581), which features a 30-lap memory and the unique hands-free Flix Indiglo activation system. It features a durable black resin case, large buttons for easy access to timing functions, and a comfortable polyurethane strap. It also offers water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), three alarms (with 5-minute backup), and three time zones. Other features include a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times, an occasion mode to set reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and appointments, and all-day white reflector display. Sport timing functions include:

• 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option in large digits
• 30-lap memory recall
• 2-mode countdown timer
• Forward or backward setting
• Built-in setting reminders

This watch 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.

5 Stars Solid digital low profile watch
This watch is the perfect “nobody notices it” watch. It is low profile, black, doesnt stand out, and I feel comfortable wearing it at work, event, tradeshow, working out, or out and about. Has perfect size digital numbers for time, date, and day.

It has all the functions I needed, stopwatch, timer/countdown, and 3 alarms(which are loud enough to wake you up!) I dont care much for the “occasions reminders” for birthdays or whatever, with pda and outlook, I dont need it, but it has it.

I like the locking loop for the wrist band that clicks in so it doesnt slip out.

Great watch, not bold and in your face, sleek an clean looking, and the biggest thing of all for me, was not a huge plastic watch-thing on my wrist. not bulky. I am average size, I love the G-shock watches, but they are to bulky on me.

Flix setting is cool on this watch, ez to use.

5 Stars Great watch with replaceable strap!
This watch is very good at doing what it says it does. The multiple alarms (3) are really useful. The watch is slightly improved for the triathlon I had in the early 90s. Although it is a digital watch, it doesn’t look too ostentatious. My favorite thing about this watch is that you can replace the strap if it breaks, which is not the case on the newer sleek-style timex watches (also I don’t really like the way they look).

4 Stars Great Product
My husband absolutely loved this watch that I gave him for Christmas. It is perfect for his runs!

5 Stars Simple, well thought out.
This watch is very well made and the functions are all easy to use and intuitive. I have had Ironman watches before but this one seems better thought out.

3 Stars Not user Friendly
My previous Timex watch allowed me to turn the stopwatch on in one step. This one u must press the mode switch to bring the stop watch function up then press the start button. Alot of hassle. The band also has a notch on the band that makes it a hassle getting off and on. I really loved my old Ironman. This new one is just OK

4 Stars An excellent Techno-Geek item
This is an excellent item for the ipod. I’m using this with the 80GB classic and it works like a charm. The range is great and I haven’t had any glitches, lack of reception or radio interference.

Keep in mind that the receiver is powered by the ipod, so when not in use, you’ll want to remover the receiver so you don’t drain your battery. It doesn’t make a significant impact on play time when in use, but you will see your power drop if you just let it site for hours at a time.

All in all, a great product.

Plus the watch works well in that respect as well. It’s easy to read, super bright when you need the light, and the alarm will actually wake me up. It’s also sealed to 328 feet, so you don’t have to worry about the weather or diving. Just don’t use the buttons underwater.

I love that I don’t have to worry about my ipod getting wet when roaming the streets of Seattle anymore. Keeping it in a jacket pocket or slot in my bag while controlling it via the watch works perfectly. I’d definitely recommend this.

5 Stars Great addition to the iPod for hiking!!
I got this watch because I like to trail run with my dogs. I couldn’t safely manipulate my iPod with dogs and trails. This watch has made a huge difference. The iPod remote is very responsive, and my iPod stays tucked away safely in my padded fanny pack. Of course, the watch is nice for telling time and running a stopwatch!!! I thought it might be too big, but it turns out that on trails, it’s much easier to push the right buttons and see the display. It’s also a nice remote for use in the car!!!

5 Stars exactly what i wanted!
i got this watch for my daughter for her birthday and ordered it at the last minute. she has had 2 others just like it and so i wanted to get the same one but money is tight and i couldnt pay the $80 or more dollars other places wanted. i was so happy to find it here at short notice for a fraction of what i would hhave paid elsewhere. excellent quality and functions perfectly she loves it!

1 Star Watch popped out of band
I purchased this watch at Wal-Mart, and after a month or two the strap separated from the watch on the side of the buckle. It pulled away from the watch where the two upper buttons are located. The watch could be hooked back into the strap; but the strap remained loose and the upper part of the watch separated from it frequently. This continued for another month or so until today, when the watch popped completely out of the strap and was lost somewhere. This is a terrible design and I would never purchase another one.

4 Stars Great features but NOT durable
I got one of these as a Christmas gift about four years ago. Within a year the painted silver-blue bezel was chipping off (another user has posted pictures of the same thing). I kept wearing it even though it looked more and more shabby. In about two and a half years the watch alarm stopped going off. It thought it was working, but it didn’t make any noise. I don’t know why; other functions sometimes made noise. Three years in, it started not running all the time, and rather than try replacing the battery I just decided to switch back to my 30-lap Ironman which was still running on my dresser all that time. Oh, also somewhere in there I did start having occasional trouble with the watch band slipping off one of the retainer pegs on the watch, but it was easy to fix (and the watch never fell off my wrist).

That being said, I’m actually ordering another one now. Why? The features are great. It has multiple alarms (you can even set them based on day vs weekend) and two time zones (which is great for me because I travel a lot and have a hard time subtracting hours on the fly). I haven’t quite figured out the log feature, but I used the interval feature a couple times and it was keen. For $35, maybe it’s worth it. Though I will order a color that looks better when the paint chips off.

So – good features, but don’t expect it to look pretty for very long.

2 Stars Watch Band Cleaning…?
Has anyone found a way to clean the watch band of this or any other Timex watches (those with similar, plastic bands)? I’ve tried a variety of cleaning agents: soap/water, rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, distilled bleach, Fantastic, Windex…the list goes on. Nothing has seemed to work.

I e-mailed the Timex company asking about cleaning instructions and received this e-mail:

“There is not way to clean those type of watches, the watch color fades,

we have to replace the complete unit when a consumer wants a new band.

That charge is $10.00.

Sincerely,

Judy Hill

Timex Group USA Inc Customer Service. jh”

Discouraging, however I find it hard to believe that Timex has created something totally “uncleanable.” Has anyone found a way to clean these watch bands?

4 Stars Can withstand a washing in a washing machine!
By mistake my new watch was part of a load of wash. I found it at the end of the cycle. It was “foggy” and even stopped for two hours later in the day, but then started again and lost the fog. It is good as new, though did get a bit scratched up….. and VERY clean.
