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

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 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.

3 Stars wrong color
I ordered an orange watch and received a black one, but it still functions nicely.

2 Stars Bought for IPOD function
I purchase the product. It was shipped timely, but the IPOD receiver does not work in any of my IPOD’s. I have two Nano’s -one 8GB and the other 4GB (older one) and the IPOD does not recognize the receiver. Will see what seller proposes to do…Otherwise, the watch works fine. It’s the usual Timex functions. I’ve had it only a couple days.

5 Stars Can’t go wrong (updated)!
(((Update: Everything below is true, but the watch stopped controling my ipod after a month. This may not happen to you, but felt I needed to update my review. The watch still works fine.)))

I paid $40 for this cool looking watch, and it does all it supposed to, and it looks great. The ipod function is fantastic and works better than I had hoped. Changing songs and volume while at the gym was always a pain; it’s so easy from the watch!

I was also happy that there’s nothing to do to set it up. Just plug the wireless gizmo into your ipod and it’s set, nothing else to do.

I like the light too. It lights the numbers instead of the background.

The band has a cool locking thing too. I can’t explain it (or don’t feel like it), but I like it.

4 Stars So Far So Good
Bought this item for my girlfriend who runs 15+ miles a week. She has a full sized ipod and always runs with it. She loves the watch and says it works great and that she uses it throughout her run to adjust volume levels or skip forward if a song comes on she doesn’t like. Plus, it’s a great stop watch so she can keep good times for her runs. Product came via standard shipping very quickly. So far, so good!

4 Stars Timex Orange Watch
Watch was exactly what I was looking for in terms of color, a little big for my wrist is the only problem. I don’t really have a use for the iPod thing, so I haven’t tried it out yet. If I was going to fiddle with my watch to change songs, I may as well press the button on my iPod.

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.
