Keep your sports training focused with the stylish Timex T5E261 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a silver resin top ring 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 fast-wrap strap.
It incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your 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 the wrist with a sharp "stop" will activate the Indiglo night-light for 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.
Customer Reviews
Cheap Quality (2010-06-16)
I bought this watch less than a year ago and initially I was very happy with it. I loved its look and its reliability. I liked this watch so much that I took it with me to a trip. It so happened that after some time, this watch will start to fail you. First of all for some reason the buttons got stuck on me so I couldn't access the other functions anymore. Also I had a big problem with the band, intitally it didn't matter to me. But when you get the band wet, it takes too long to dry and could irritate the skin. Also after some time the end of the band bursted open, there I saw how cheaply put together this watch is. The end of the band was only glued in and was sewed in very cheaply. On top of that the paint on the dial started to chip. So to sum up, I would've bought a different watch.
Timex Watch Vecro Band (2010-05-20)
I have owned many watches in the 35 to 65 Dollar Range with all types of bands. Im very hard on watches do to Im an Auto Mechanic. I also swim allot and fish allot wich exposes watches to uv rays. Rubber watch bands end up cracking ,uv rays. Metal Bands get caught on about anything they end up breaking or the snap wears out. If you are hard on a Velcro band watch you will wear the paint off the watch face first.The reason they are hard to start is its a safety catch as a last resort in case you undo the velcro . The worst thing for a velcro band is taking it on and off.
Needs longer Strap! (2010-03-24)
Have had a couple of Timex watches before and since I work in a grocery store, I usually buy fairly inexpensive watches every couple of years that look nice, sporty and have a easy to read face, w/ day/date and alarm clock. Saw the Timex T5E261 and knew that would be my next watch. Arrived from shipper, NY to Sea. in about 7 days after ordering(pretty darn good). Took the watch out of package and looked it over. Loved the watch, but the velcro-strap itself has a bit to be desired. Most annoying thing is, that it takes quite a bit of effort to squeeze/pull the strap over my hand. If I take the strap(loop it through and velcro) all the way apart, it's a hassle to get it back through the loop. Band feels good though after wearing it for a couple of days though. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase till I have to take it off or put it on. Strap aggravation costs this 2 stars. BTW, I wear mens med. cadet golf gloves if that helps.
Great Watch, Especially for Triathlon (2009-12-19)
This watch has some neat features. They're useful in general and they're very nice for triathlons and triathlon training. Here's what I like best about it.
The velcro strap makes it much easier than a conventional strap to put on and take off quickly.
The very large numbers are easy to see at a glance without glasses and underwater.
The "Lap" feature makes it easy to check whether you're on pace during a run: just push the lap button when you pass a mile marker and read out the time since the last push, a mile back.
The watch adds a "Run" feature to the conventional pair of "Lap" and "Split" features. This lets you see what portion of a workout has been spent on recovery, for example, or how what part of the duration of a car trip was actual driving time.
The multiple interval timers are useful for interval training if you want to have different durations for effort and recovery intervals.
The watch is a little larger than the other Ironman watches, including another one that I have that's a little dressier. Some reviews I've seen say it's too large. I think it's a matter of what you get used to. I like it, and I have a smaller than average wrist.
Lest we forget, the watch has the conventional functions of keeping time and sounding alarms.
