Men's Ironman Essential 10 Full-Size Watch

I bought this for my husband who thinks this watch is great - not to complicated for a 68 year old to work out too!

Excellent watch with a feature on the strap to make it less prone to split

I have had two of these watches. Both developed condensation inside within about three months. They refunded the first one (though it was not simple to navigate the system, I had to phone Amazon in the end) so I bought another hoping it was a one off fault, but unfortunately it was not. The instructions say : WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER. But what use is that? It's supposed to be a water proof watch!!! I always had Timex Marathon watches before (I bought a load of them when they were being manufactured in the 1990s and they kept me going for years and years ! ) only one of them developed condensation inside (despite buttons being used under water) and that was only after a year or two of use. And they were just as slim as this watch (not like bricks on your wrist like the Classic Ironman). In addition they had both the start / stop and the split buttons on the front where they are easily accessible : MUCH BETTER. This watch only has one button on the front and the other on the side which is difficult to use when doing swim reps. Basically, had the watch not leaked I'd have given it one or two stars, but since two of them have leaked one star is the most its worth, if that.

I purchased this as my first watch for running and triathlon - it's super easy to use, has all the features, very durable and is great value for money. I often get asked 'Where is your watch from?/Which do you use?' and I instantly recommend this one! I've since purchased for my boyfriend and he's super pleased!

I think this watch has been very well designed by someone who has thought about the functions and used the watch. It has so many good features. The date is customisable you can have it as mmdd or ddmm for people outside the USA - Casio you miss this so badly. If you press the light it then stays on all the time you press other buttons - such a nice touch, well done. The digits are big so I can read without my glasses - Casio take note. The alarm is loud enough to wake me up and it repeats 5 mins later. I didn't give it 5 stars because I wish it was a 10 out of 10 in design looks instead of a 9 out of 10. Having said that the design is good and not the stupid fake plastic screws and design taken from Transformers that Casio go for. Well done Timex you might have won me over from Casio.

Really good watch for timing your runs. I only really use the chronometer (Apart from normal watch function). Very easy to use and it also allows for split times in the chronometer. Simple - press button to start press button to stop, press twice to reset, what could be simpler. There are a couple of comments about it being difficult to unhook the watch strap when removing as it has a dimple on the holding loop which fits in a hole on the actual strap.. This is to stop strap coming loose and can be resolved in 5 seconds. Spin the loop around so that the dimple is on the other side of the strap. I havent used the other functions yet.

After using this watch for 6 months for swimming, moisture entered the display and a few days later failed completely. Have contacted manufacturer via e-mail as the UK contact number does not work. Although only made contact yesterday, still waiting on response as the watch is still under two year warranty.

Very clear display. So far it’s been very accurate.

😱 sooo cool

Es el segundo reloj Timex que me compro. Despues de años y tras averiarse el que tenia, he comprado otra vez el mismo modelo. Sencillo en manejo y tiene lo que necesito principalmente: crono

mui bueno

C'est ma deuxième montre Ironman,j'avais le même modèle avant, la bracelet est très résistante, seul souci quand la batterie est finie je voulais la faire rechange,mais 20€juste pour sa je trouve un peu cher, donc je décide de comande la même modèle, donc le prix 42 €,ancienne montre ma tenue 3au 4 ans, je recommande cette montre

Just what I was looking for. I've purchased some digital watches over the past year from Nike, Suunto and a few others and paid three or four times as much. I coach soccer and need a reliable, durable, unobtrusive and easy to use digital watch with a chronograph. This Timex fits all of those requirements and cost me less than $30. YES!!! I like that it fits well and isn't overly large. I REALLY like that the stopwatch is super easy to find, easy to start, easy to reset but not likely to be reset accidentally. And I REALLY like that I was able to set the time, date, etc; intuitively on my own without even looking at the user manual. If you just need something that works, this watch is an excellent choice.
