Timex Men's T5E231 Ironman 100-Lap FLIX System Watch Review

I've had various incarnations of the Timex Ironman watches over the years. They take a beating and have great functionality. To me, this model has about the best practical value overall, being rather feature-laden without being overcomplicated. One distinct value of this watch over the "sleek" and similar models, is that it does NOT have an integrated band. Sure, integrated bands look cool, but if you wear the watch daily the band will start to break down after about a year and then you have to send it back to Timex for a new band. Not so with this watch. New users will have to take a little time to figure out the various functions of the watch, but once you get the idea, operation is very logical. The stopwatch is great for training, having more laps at your disposal than you're ever likely to need, multiple timers and alarms, and two time zones. These are also useful for training, but also just useful in general life (moreso than you'd think). In all, a solid choice for a digital sports watch, and an excellent value considering Amazon's prices. Highly recommended.

Product Description:
Keep your sports training focused with the stylish Timex T5E231 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a dark gray resin top ring sitting upon a metallic silver case and top pusher for easy access to split and lap times. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 100-lap memory recall, 199 lap counter, on-the-fly recall of lap or split, and interval timers settable up to 24 hours (9 timers with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat). The training log stores workouts by date, with best lap, average lap, and total segment time, and the total run format/synchro timer maintains total activity time (less time paused during workout and overall running time. Other features include two time zones, built-in setting reminders, water resistance to 100 meters, and a black resin strap.
It incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick ofyour 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 thewrist with a sharp "stop" will activate the Indiglo night-lightfor 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. 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.

Over a year of wearing my watch pretty much 24/7 and this band remains intact.The plastic has hardened over time and become rather brittle. From experience with similar bands, I can say that it would probably break if I tried to bend it any significant amount.However, this doesn't really impact my ability to use the band.I wouldn't recommend this band for someone who tends to frequently take off their watch, as I suspect it would eventually break (and it will no longer lie flat).

Casio Men's Wave Ceptor watch #WVQ550SGA-1AV Review

I bought this watch because it looks great and gets the time updates from Fort Collins, Colorado. The watch is heavier and bigger then some watches I own so if this bothers you beware.

I initially had trouble getting the time update from Fort Collins using the manual update feature. Finally I was able to get the signal at night using this feature. I have another atomic watch which had no trouble getting the update during the day. It does get the signal updates each night and the watch keeps perfect time.

The gold bezel is easily scratched so you need to be careful. In the picture you may think there is some gold in the band. This is an optical illusion. The band is all silver. The minute markers between the large five minute markers are hard to see on the dial. I usually can tell the time from the position of the hands. I don't use the stop watch feature or the alarm but I have tried each to make sure they were working. If you plan on using the stop watch beware that the hand to show the minutes passed is hard to read.

The watch feels solid and of good quality.
