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.

User Ratings and Reviews

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

5 Stars Does what it’s supposed to
It does exactly what it’s supposed to. Tell time, chronograph, multiple time zones, split chrono, etc.

The only thing that brought the appeal of it down a bit was its size. It is particularly small. even for people use to small watches.

However its main attribute comes of its size, its weight. It is so light that I couldn’t feel when I went running, which was the reason for which I bought it for.

5 Stars Great watch for runners!
I have bought several cheap watches in the past, so I decided rather than continue to buy ones that broke I would spend a little extra and get one of higher quality. I am very pleased with my purchase, the watch looks great, it’s very light (I barely realize it’s on my wrist), and it definitely works in the water! Great buy overall.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Best watch I have ever owned
This is the best watch I have ever owned. I am in the Army, and it has all the functions that I need. It’s very comfortable and easy to use.

5 Stars Timex Expedition
This is the best Timex watch that I have owned, and I’ve had several. The watch and band are comfortable, and I really like the fast-wrap velcro band. The watch display is crystal clear, large and readable.

5 Stars timex watch
Solid as usual from Timex. Since I work as a contractor, I like the recessed bezel which delays the inevitable scratches that happen. I also like the location and size of the night light button. Good job Timex. I did cut off the tiny compass; it was not accurate and stuck out too far.

5 Stars Timex Men’s Expedition Digital Chrono Alarm Timer Watch #T45961
This watch was everything that I expected, Timex quality and performance.

The nylon arm strap in my point of view is much better than the plastic ones. The compass was a nice feature but fell off after a couple of days.

Would buy another if and when this one wears out.

5 Stars great watch
I bought this a gift for my son. He does not like to wear watches but he has loved this one.

5 Stars Great watch!
I’ve owned this watch for about a year now. I’ve got no complaints about it at all. This Timex has held up remarkably well and works fine as a casual or business watch (or timepiece, if you prefer). As others have mentioned, the watch is somewhat heavy if you compare it to other non-metal type bands. However, this is not something that has ever bothered me and I only recently noticed it as I was shopping around for a watch to wear that has a black band instead of the silver. Overall, the features are great. I don’t typically use the chrono very much because this isn’t a watch I’d purchase for actually working out in, although you could if you chose to. This may be where the weight of the watch comes into play. So for working out/running/etc, I wouldn’t recommend it. But I don’t know why anyone would chose a watch with a metal bracelet to workout in anyway…The digital and analog times can be set differently, which is useful when traveling or keeping track of the time in an area where a loved one lives or is visiting. Digital display is easy to read in all lights and indiglo works great. Overall, I’d highly recommend this watch for someone wanting to have a multifunction watch that is suitable for both casual and business attire. Although it is an ironman, I wouldn’t recommend it for anything requiring vigorous movement of the arms, due to the heaviness and potential for watch movement to chafe the wrist.

4 Stars pros and cons
Pros-

My daughters all say it is much better looking than my older analog/digital Ironman w plastic strap.

Nice big #’s on display-easy to read.

Easy to operate countdown alarm-handy when cooking steaks, starting sailing regattas,etc

Cons-

Kind of heavy. Can’t wear while playing golf

Not a big fan of metal bands-fit is tricky-have to remove some links.

Alarms don’t continue long enough…easy to sleep through.

I would buy again.J

5 Stars Really beautiful watch
I love the aesthetics of this. I love the aesthetics of classic analog watches, but I just love digital watches because I can tell the time much faster. Being an Ironman, this thing is very durable and very unlikely to break from just normal wear. Its got your pretty standard feature set, but I’m basically buying it because its cheap and I love the color and aesthetics of it. I’d highly recommend it.

4 Stars good watch
good metal one. if you need a cheap and reliable metal watch, you should get it.

4 Stars Pretty Good Watch for the price
A nice stylish Analog-Digital Watch. Comfortable to wear, fit perfectly out of the box. Only downside to it is that the analog and digital times where not in sync. would be nice if they stayed together.

4 Stars Great watch, but…
Great watch, but good luck trying to find a replacement band. They tend to crack & break apart at the buckle. The fitting is unique, therefore no generic band will work. You need the exact replacement band. I have not, as yet, found one listed anywhere. Is this built in obsolescence requiring you to purchase a new watch?

5 Stars Classic Triathalon
Always the best of the pack for its value. I get five years out of each one and I’ve been buying for 23 years.

5 Stars Watches always outlast the bands
Has more features than previous models, such as 3 time zones. I love the watch for working outdoors and for travel. Also keeps me up to date on day of week and date. Great for timing my food on the grill.

This is my 4th in a series of these and the battery always outlasts the resin band - its only weekpoint- (lasts about 2 years if worn daily). I also bought one of these Timex ironman watches with a fabric band at Walmart ($30), and they suggested that they could replace my watchband with one designed for this watch, from Timex. I did, for $11.00. The band replacement took them 30 minutes though - even with all the right tools. Not a job to do yourself.

I now have the repaired watch, the new one with more features from Amazon and a new one with not all the new features but with a fabric band. I change them daily - and I have several other “good” watches which do not see much use, except for weddings ! Stay in the $30 -34 range at Amazon and you have a real bargan.

5 Stars Good watch, good price
I have worn Ironman watches for many many years and the hold up very well and I have always been happy with their operation.

5 Stars Great watch
This is my second Ironman watch of this type. My first one died after a battery replacement when water got inside due to the incompatance of the place that replaced the battery. I am a mechanic and often wear the watch to work and haven’t had any issues with dirt or oil getting on it or the band.

The best thing I like about the watch is the ease of changing the time come daylight savings time.
