Timex T5E901 IRONMAN Classic Watch

Relógio com cronômetro muito bom, simples e funcional … perfeito

Muito bonito e super fácil de usar, estou com ele a uma semana e não tiro mais do braço, vale super a pena, pretendo usar futuramente para fazer corridas

This watch is practically indestructible. Mine have lasted for years, as opposed to fitness tracking watches that I have had to replace every few years. I like the “no charging,” and once you figure how to cycle through. the controls, it’s really useful for setting up a timer, countdown, etc. I quit wearing the last one I had after buying a fitness tracker. I threw it in a drawer, found it four or five years later, and the time was still correct. Its a pretty simple watch but it is a great deal for the money.

I bought this watch out of frustration due to the complexity of all other activity trackers. I have heart rate sensors, cadence sensors, a smart watch, and to get everything to always work together symlessly can be a headache, especially when things aren’t tracking as they should.

Alas, if you find yourself in the same predicament, look no further! Enough time wasting with all your “smart” tech and go to the most basic of functions. Get yourself this Timex Ironman to track the thing your probably want to track the most, time and laps, and done!

This works perfectly for my swimming, and if you know your preset distances for outdoor activities then this is perfect as well.

Also to my pleasant surprise I assumed based on an older article that the T-30 was limited by its count function of 30 laps, unless I’m missing something, I’ve used it to count well past 30 laps without issue.

I cannot recommend this durable and fantasticly simplistic training product enough!

Before I start my review of this Timex….
A few words about Casio, because there are millions of Casio fans, many of whom won’t ever admit that any non-Casio product could ever be superior in any way to a Casio.
Yes, Casio makes amazing watches (& other gadgets). I have owned several. Great company. Over the decades, the company has produced thousands of watches with remarkable features like address & appointment management, altimeter, barometer, games, moon & tide phases, GPS, compasses, atomic clock auto-setting, solar power, etc. Great products.
But …. if you want one amazing sport watch, nothing beats this Timex model. It has features one simply does not find on any Casio or any other digital watch brand or model. It is the perfect balance of features and simplicity with durability and comfort.

1) Major Comfort.
This watch is amazingly comfortable for 5 reasons. It’s lightweight. The band is soft silicon, not hard plastic. The band has a contour, which matches your wrist curve. The band has a lot of holes, so you can get a perfect fit. The little “band keeper” loop actually locks into the excess band, so the keeper won’t slide around. Other sports watches have some combo of rigid plastic band, not enough holes, no locking band keeper.

2) Customizable Features.
What I mean by this is that you can “hide” features from the Mode scroll-through if you aren’t interested in one or more. Easy example: the watch has three alarms. I use just one. I don’t plan to use the other two. I don’t want to see the other two alarms as I go through the watch functions. So I set it so that I don’t even see alarms 2 & 3 when I scroll through. This is a unique feature. Almost no digital watches have it. It’s a great way to simplify your watch’s configurations, if you like.

3) Ease of Setting.
This watch is really intuitive to set (& to set up as I described immediately above). This is because it has 5 buttons and the screen itself shows you with labels how to “+” or “-“ the time when setting the time itself or an alarm. Amazingly straightforward. Absent on almost all other watches.

4) The Features Themselves.
Without discussing all aspects is this watch (stopwatch, countdown timer, water resistance, etc.), I’ll focus on two unique features.
(A) The alarm is loud. Unless you are medicinally sedated or are sleeping really heavily after a 48-hour nonstop work session, it *will* wake you up.
(B) The Indiglo light (a technology Timex introduced almost 30 years ago) is amazing for reading the display at night or in a dark room (Related: The size of the display is great too. Bold, crisp, large (even though the watch face itself is not enormous)).

If you are undecided, I’d suggest reading this review and then watching a couple YouTube reviews. If you’re still on the fence, just buy the watch. You’ll love it. Can you get a durable & functional non-Timex for $20 or under? Yes. But go with this for the slightly higher price.

Used this watch for Air Force BMT. It is sturdy and worked well. Love the multiple alarms and ease of use for stopwatch and timer. Great buy!
