This Timex Watch (but not any battery, crystal, band, or strap) is warranted to the owner for a period of ONE YEAR from the date of purchase against defects in manufacture by Timex Corporation. Timex will not repair defects relating to servicing not performed by Timex Corporation. This limited warranty applies to US Customers. Rock your body during extreme workouts with the extra-large Timex T5F821 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a black resin body and stainless steel top ring and a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times. It's also shock resistant to ISO standards--enabling it to withstand breakage under adverse conditions. It has a number of customizable sport timing features that can be turned on and off, including 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 30-lap memory recall, and 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions, three alarms with 5-minute backup, and golf score keeper. Other features include a 5-year battery life, water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet), and a dark gray polyurethane 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.

As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.Today, Casio is focusing its efforts on solar-powered radio-controlled watches: the built-in solar battery eliminates the nuisance of replacing batteries, atomic timekeeping means the users never have to reset the time. Recently, Casio launched a series of Bluetooth watches that sync to the users cell phone to automatically update the time. Casio is always moving time forward. See more

Great Runner's Companion and Utility Watch
I bought this watch two months ago, and it's been great. All is working perfectly, no premature wear, and nothing has broken. I left it in a glass of water for a couple of hours, and it passed that test easily.The two main reasons I got this Ironman was the shock resistance and lap counter with memory recall. I looked all over for another watch with a lap counter memory, and it seems that the Timex Ironman is the only watchmaker providing this feature.I had the whole watch figured out in about 10 minutes without reading the instructions. The chronometer and lap counter are user-friendly, and are awesome for recording lap times at the track. The buttons are well placed for easy operation while running, and visibility is excellent for quick glances while running. The display is as clear and large in person as it is in Amazon's picture. This is a great high contrast face, and all of the features are well-organized. I was considering a G-Shock, but in addition to not having lap memory, none of the G-Shocks have a display this clean. All the better for a runner/cyclist/triathlete glancing at their watch while training or racing.The watch is pretty tall and thick, which is to be expected with this type of watch. You can find a thinner, sleeker Ironman if you don't need shock resistance. But the wrist presence wins style points with me. I love the look and feel of it.Some hints:The blue version of this watch (T5F841) has a negative display, which looks cool as hell...except it's not high contrast like this one. The numbers don't pop out as much and you sometimes have to focus for a moment to see them. Amazon's and Timex's stock photos must have been retouched, because it looks high-contrast in the pics. If that doesn't bother you, it is otherwise the same great watch as this one, and the blue was actually my first choice.Also, I had trouble figuring out how to activate the FLIX feature. This feature lets you turn on the Indiglo light by flicking your wrist. To activate this feature, you have to put it in Night Mode by holding down the Indiglo button for three seconds until you see the display blink and a crescent moon icon appears at the top of the display. Night Mode also lights up the watch if you push any of the other buttons (mode, set, whatever). If you're concerned that the light will constantly be turning on in Flix Mode, don't worry...I haven't once accidentally lit up the watch. It takes a pretty sharp, though not difficult, flick.Finally, my hearing sucks, and this watch beeps about as loud as the typical alarm watch. Which means I can't hear it well. If you have trouble hearing most watch alarms, this one won't be any better. However, my coworker (who has normal hearing), was sitting 15 feet away and pointed out to me that my watch was beeping. (If your hearing sucks and you like having a timer while working out I recommend the Gymboss. It's not a lap counter, but is an awesome round timer for interval workouts and includes a stopwatch. I hear that thing just fine).

Good while it worked
I have had a couple of Timex Ironman watches and have always liked them for the durability and longevity of use. Still using one and can't even remember how long I have had it. Got this newer one and it lasted less than half the time with far less abuse. The light went out so I hade the battery changed. Didn't help and a short time later the watch quit working. I will probably buy again and hope it works like the older watch.

Great Watch
I absolutely love this watch. So much so, that my most recent purchase was actually a replacement. It's great to be able to customize the features displayed while toggling through the modes so you only have the features you use most. The watch face is recessed well below the housing, so it's tough to scratch. In fact, my previous watch was on it's second band and the face had yet to get a scratch on it. I was also successful wearing this watch while scuba diving to ~ 45-47' deep on 4 or 5 dives. The buttons all functioned, and the watch never fogged over. However, this brings me to my short list of cons...The biggest of which, is the reason I needed to replace my original watch after roughly 5 years of use. I replaced my battery after about 3-4 years of use, and all seemed well. However, I recently went diving with my watch for the 6th time, and after checking to see how long my descent took (to 25' deep) I was crushed to see that my watch face had fogged over and the numbers were garbled. Needless to say, by the end of the dive the watch was toast. About a day later the LCD ink started spreading across the screen. I'm not sure if Timex greases the o-rings or glues something in place when they install the back or what, but for whatever reason the watch did not live up to the 200 m water resistance after changing the battery.Some minor gripes are the thickness of the watch face (~ 11/16") and the difficulty in finding replacement bands. I wound up buying a nice dress watch for wearing under sleeves, as this watch only fits under long sleeve shirts with larger cuff openings. As far as watch bands go, I managed to track down the authorized parts retailer for Timex and got a new replacement band for my original watch within a week or so for around $10 (if memory serves me right).All in all, this is a fantastic watch. It really does take a beating and lives through it - most of the time. Ultimately, I'd be happier if replacing the battery did not compromise the waterproofing of the watch. The 4-star review was because of this large flaw after battery changes, but as I said, it still lasted me about 5-6 years.

So nice I bought it twice
I just purchased this watch for a 2nd time, after completely wearing out the original I bought about 3 years ago. I like a very durable watch that I can jog with, swim with, garden with, and basically never take off. This model is tough. I really like how it looks, and love the front START/SPLIT button. My old model was showing age with cracks in the band and other battle scars, plus a couple of the crystals were fading out. I went shopping on Amazon, excited to find a new even cooler watch, but wound up ordering this one again because it's the best for the price.This watch looks awesome. It is big, which I like. I have skinny wrists but there is no problem with band adjustment. It never bothers my wrist while wearing it, and I love the big display for action sports. I thought about going for a heart-rate or GPS watch but the added expense and trade off in looks and other functions made it not worth it. And yes, I have used the golf scorekeeper and the occasion reminder functions. Timex must have a patent or something on the front button for start/split times because that is so convenient that I'd not want to go back now, for timing my half mile laps around my neighborhood. I bought this watch from Amazon for only $34.50 but I think it's worth $60.
