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 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.

I bought this watch for my husband and he love's it. It's a simple alternative to a Garmin GPS watch and a great piece of equipment in situations where it may not be practical to wear a GPS. He's found it easy to use and uses it even on a daily basis for casual wear.

I hit the gym as well as jog outside a few times a week only to stay in shape. Needed a digital watch with stopwatch and lap features. This watch is more than enough for me. The FLIX feature is nice to have. I like how the watch looks too. So overall I'm very satisfied with this product

I bought this wacth to motivate me to start a running/workout program and I have done so. I LOVE the interval timer. I can set multiple intervals for various times to customize my workout. I usually run 8-10 miuntes and walk for one and repeat. This watch beeps when each interval begins and ends so I can focus on what I am doing rather than constantly looking at my watch. I even use it at work now. Large display, gread indigo light for night time and a ton of other settings I haven't even got to. Some people complained about the band but it seems very durable to me and also very comfortable.

The Flix system is great for anyone who enjoys training outside at night. It is easy to use, read and is a lightweight watch. It also is much cheaper here than in the stores.
