This watch is perfect for my needs- observing animal behavior.

I wear this watch every day for working out, going to work (even when I'm wearing a suit!), and doing sports such as sailing and skiing. I like it because it's not too bulky and has all the features I needed, such as alarm, water resistance, timer, and dual time zones. It's easy to set up and switch modes.

It has remained accurate to the second over the first week I've used it. I've had to refer to the instructions frequently for button usage, partly perhaps due to senility on my part.
I had hoped it would record runs with dates as the other brand watch it's replacing did. This will keep me on my toes, not putting of recording things.

I drive tractor trailers, do cordwood and landscaping work, bike in all weathers & free dive in fresh and salt water. I want my watch to survive, perform, and above all stay on my wrist thru all that, 24/7. This one did except for the band which created profile problems (see below). I lost it and have not replaced it for the past year or so, using my cell phone instead which obviously is limited in most of my environments & inconvenient to use.

Backlighting, unit durability, features were all ok and useful. I look for a basic watch that will survive impact/exposure as my hands move through work and sport, accidents and falls. Major convenience having a good light usable at night and underwater. Had no trouble w/salt water corrosion, just rinsed immediately after w/fresh, unless the band failed from salt corrosion at the pins (see below). This watch survived lots of tough use and still looked good enough to wear to restaurants and church.

However -- I will think seriously before buying the watch again because the band repeatedly let me down. As someone else said, the pins were very difficult to handle/replace, a generic replacement band would not fit the attachment points, the plastic was inflexible and uncomfortable and the holes were either too tight or loose -- I was afraid to punch another for fear of further weakening the band. The band near the watch was thickened by design and almost rigid, so the watch stuck out and caught on things. Ultimately the watch left my wrist during a shallow salt water dive and i could not find it after several hrs of searching which ticks me off b/c the battery will now corrode & poison critters w/heavy metal pollution. Strong pins w/plenty of space on a straightforward flange I could thread a $3 velcro band thru every few weeks will win my future business & loyalty, if only i could find those cheap cloth bands nowadays, and a watch that would take them! Everyone seems to be into unique-fitting proprietary bands & these repel rather than entrap me as a customer.

The photo of the watch on the Campmor site showed it being a Flix watch, but the description did not include Flix, so I did not count on that. It is not Flix, but I probably would not use that. It is new, but so far it is a great watch and does all that I want. Nice to have 3 alarms and numerous repeating occasions. Easy to program and understand and is visible in bright sun, and at night with Indiglo

Everything you need and no add-ons you don't need to overly complicate things. Size is just right.... not too bulky.

Timex always makes great watches and I've used the Ironman for years.

I have bought one of these watches every couple of years for many years. i am a building contractor and avid hiker. The watch is subjected to intense conditions on a daily basis. The many features this watch has ,multiple time zones, chronometer, countdown, occasion, alarm are easily accessible.
Straps are a major weak point and are difficult if not near impossible to change. The function buttons after a few years fill with dust and dirt and become impossible to push/engage. There does not seem to be an easy way to clean them and consequently makes the watch useless.
