Amazon.com Product Description
It may be inconceivable that any watch would be expected to function while its owner swims 2.4 miles, bikes 112, and runs 26.2 miles. But this watch was made to excel in such conditions. This watch is packed with features for the most extreme of athletes, including a 30-lap recall monitor, timer, three alarms, day-date-month calendar, and, most importantly, a large digital display and quick drying resin band. The bezel of this rugged watch is resin, and the case is stainless steel. The watch is water resistant to 330 feet (100 meters), has digital quartz movement, and is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

 A Decent Runner's Watch September 5, 2010
R. Fortier (Ontario, Canada)
First, this is not a professional watch. If you are serious about training, a GPS watch/HRM (e.g. Garmin 305) is probably better for you. Not being a competitive runner, a cheap stopwatch was fine for me. Frankly, there aren't many alternatives out there. There are loads of variations of this watch. One feature I like is the velcro strap. It doesn't look that great, but it is very easy to get on and off, and it is comfortable even on a long run (with no chafing).
I have used this watch several times for measuring lap times when I do speedwork. The buttons are easy to press. The data it records is fairly limited, but it records your longest, shortest, average lap time, as well as total/split time. One feature I'd like to see, since I have a bad memory, would be a lap counter but this watch does not feature it.
Being able to time my laps has been handy, since I could see how much slower I was on later laps. Since then, I've been able to get to the point where I drop only about 2 seconds on laps (about 2:00 per 400m lap) between 0km and 10km. This is only possible by actually seeing the time. As you are approaching your distance marker, you may also see how your lap time is coming, and pick up the pace if you are falling behind. This is similar to how you achieve extra speed in a race, by using your competitors as a speed gauge and motivator. I have also used this watch for improving my bike speed. The lap distance doesn't matter, just find a distance marker (e.g. a tree) and ride/run a predetermined path. Measure the distance on [...](or another similar site) and you can find out your pace and compare it to your previous race results or that of others.
Once you figure out how to use the functions (which will take a few minutes of reading and experimenting), it is very easy to switch between the various modes of operation and get exercising. Some of the functions are not really useful, such as dual time zone. How many people need a runner's watch for Toronto and Paris? It is not like this is going to be your daily watch.
All in all, this watch is good value. I would recommend this to anyone who is training for a run or bike ride, and wants to get some immediate feedback on their lap speed.

The watch does all the functions well without hassle or error. Time keeping is accurate. The band design with Velcro seems fine so far. It operates easily.
 Great Watch! August 3, 2010

This watch is nice looking and has great Timex quality and terrific Amazon price. I couldn't find it less expensive anywhere. The velcro band is the way to go if you are active, as it is infinitely adjustable, not to mention having a much reduced chance of breaking or needing replacement. I don't use the stop watch but it is there if you need it. I use one alarm and it has a bunch of them. The day, date, and digital time are there full time and the indiglo light is great if you are in the dark.

Just bought this to replace my fathers old one (5+ years). The only reason we replaced it was the velcro was gone on the strap so it would not hold any longer. I assume this one will last just as long - he never even had to replace the battery on the old one.

I've had several timex ironman watches. They last almost forever. I take mine into MRI's which deplete many other watches batteries. The thing that sets this watch apart is the velcro band. It's much better than other bands found on most of the timex watch line.
