Timex Womens Ironman Triathlon Sleek 50 Lap Resin Strap Watch T59211

Timex gives its signature Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport watch a sleek new look that’s a great fit for both men and women. Featuring a full complement of athletic timing features and a striking profile, the Timex Triathlon Sleek T59211 has a metallic gray and blue resin case that’s complemented by a uniquely styled, slim profile gray and light blue resin strap. It features three alarms that can be set for daily/weekday/weekend/weekly alarms, two time zones, an all-day white reflector display for easy reading even in direct sunlight, and water resistance to 100 meters. Sport timing functions include:

• 100-hour chronograph with lap/split
• On-the-fly recall of lap or split
• Training log stores workouts by date, with best lap, average lap, and total segment time
• Total run format/synchro timer maintains total activity time (less time paused during workout) and overall running time
• Automatic interval repetition counter
• Forward or backward setting
• Built-in setting reminders
• Top pusher for easy access to lap and split

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. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

User Ratings and Reviews

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,

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.
