Timex Womens Ironman Triathlon Fast Wrap Watch T5H471




The Timex Women’s Ironman Triathlon Fast Wrap Watch features a speedy, comfortable Velcro strap designed for a race where every second counts. The timepiece is constructed with a metal case, a lightweight pink plastic bezel, and a secure pink-and-gray Velcro wristband. A durable mineral window shields the digital-gray dial face, which displays the time as well as the day, date, and month. Four black buttons decorate the bezel and include mode, set/recall, Indiglo, and stop/reset functions. A prominent black start/split button rests below the six o’clock position. This athletic timepiece is powered by digital-quartz movement and is water resistant to 330 feet.

5 Stars Love this watch!
It’s everything I need/want in a watch….easy to read, easy to see and better yet, love the color combo!!

3 Stars meh
This is a great watch with lots of necessary and useful functions that works perfectly well. I have two complaints about it. One is that the velcro band, which is very comfortable and easy to put on and adjust, starts stinking after you get the band wet (swimming, washing your hands, showering) especially if you are using this as a running watch (it is called the Ironman, it shouldn’t stink when you run!) My second complaint is personal and may not apply to anyone else, but for me the back of the watch (the metal cover that sits against my skin) irritates my skin and i get a little red circle where it sits. When I take the watch off, that circle gets scaly and then dries out and eventually goes away. I have never had this problem with other Timex watches.

As a result of these two flaws, I don’t wear this watch all the time, only when I’m running. I was hoping I could just wear it all the time, but now I’m in the market for a second watch that I can just wear to work.

I actually bought this watch for my wife. She loves it. The display is very easy to read. It’s pretty much dummy proof as far as setting it goes. She also says the band is very comfortable. She also uses it for Scuba Diving. We haven’t taken it down past 70 ft. but it’s performed well to that depth.

5 Stars Great watch for all purposes!
I bought this watch for my wife who is a runner and works as a veterinarian. She needs a digital watch with a timer for work purposes and also loves using it for her runs. This a really lightweight, durable and stylish purchase. I will definitely buy another one of these if we ever need to replace this one.

5 Stars Great Watch
I’ve had this watch for about a month now. It’s great! It’s comfortable, the color is really nice, love the features of lap times & indiglo. Would definitely recommend this watch! It’s my 2nd ironman (my son lost my first, which after about 7 years was still in good shape). Timex is awesome.
