Here is what people are saying about the Timex Sleek 50/100 Ironman Watch (# T54281 )
"A good watch until it breaks" | 2009-11-05 |
| - Reviewed By User: AFRS7RQS5QPQE |
I am currently on my third watch of this exact brand. My use has mostly been for swimming but also some daily use. The first watch lasted 4 years until the strap started breaking up. During this time I only had to replace the battery once and it ran perfectly. Thus when I needed a replacement I ordered a new one. This one started leaking after one week and then broke down. I have just started using my third watch and so far it runs ok (one week).
I keep on buying this watch because it is the best one I have been able to find for my purpose. It is light and sleek and does not give too much water resistance when swimming. Also, it is inexpensive so I am willing to take the chance of getting a non-working one. Thus if you get this watch you must realize that it is a gamble if it will work at all when used for swimming. If it works, then the strap will eventually disintegrate (and cannot be replaced). How long time this takes depends on how much you use it. |

"Great when it works" | 2009-10-29 |

Mine worked great for about a year. I liked the layout and the 50 lap memory.
A few months ago, the main start button started to get harder and harder to activate. Then I took it to Hawaii and water managed to get inside the watch. It went down hill from there pretty quickly.
So much for "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" |

"watch out!" | 2009-10-20 |

My first one broke the first time I used in a race (got water inside) and it was useless.
My second one is still working but I haven't used it in the pool...
I'd strongly recommend other product. |

"Don't buy" | 2009-10-12 |

The watch interface and functionality is fantastic. The large button is easy to hit for stopwatch laps while running/biking/swimming. The interface is intuitive, and the multiple alarms and timers are very functional. I find this watch comfortable to wear, too. I haven't found another that I like better.
However, the resin band/band holder, though it looks and feels good, is deeply flawed. It is because of this deep flaw that I do not recommend this watch. I am on my third watch in as many years (and have been forced to wear a backup Nike watch for much of that period, when this watch was broken or being replaced). Each watch lasts about 8-10 months, and then, inevitably, the resin either breaks or separates from the watch casing. The breakage or separation is unrepairable (as well as very inconvenient and frustrating, especially when traveling). Timex will replace the watch--for a fee (last time it was about thirty bucks, for an 8 month old watch) because the "band" is not covered by the warranty (even if/when the flaw is the interface of the "band" and the watch "body"). Timex customer service used to be fantastic. It is now pretty bad. Timex has been aware of the breakage problems with the resin part of these watches for many years and still produces the same product. (With my first watch, CS sort of admitted to a number of such returns.)
The bottom line is that this is a cheaply made, disposable watch. Avoid it like the plague. Do not give it as a gift (unless you secretly want to disappoint and frustrate your recipient in a year's time). A terrible choice for the environment (disposable design = more waste) and a terrible choice for a reliable watch (probably applies to all resin / "sleek" Timex watches). The integrated resin is truly unfortunate, because otherwise it would be an awesome watch. |

"Band separates from watch..." | 2009-10-02 |
| - Reviewed By User: A2NRXNN5W51QNY |
I have been a loyal buyer of the Timex Ironman watches for years. This version is probably the 6th I have owned, and I would have to say the worst. The main problem I have had with the plastic band version of these watches is the band starts separating from the watch body near the buttons.
For my previous Ironman, the separation started after 2 or 3 years. This current Ironman started separating in less than a year. I'm not sure what the problem is, but maybe the way I hold the watch when pushing the buttons puts stress on the connections. Who knows. I do know that I am looking for a new watch and would not buy this style of Ironman again. |

"$10 to replace the band." | 2009-08-07 |

| Like so many others, I wish I would have read these reviews prior to purchasing this watch. For the first 12 months I loved it, but shortly thereafter the band fell apart and now it looks like the customer image provided at the top of the page. I would not recommend this watch unless you are looking for a short term relationship with it or comfortable operating in from your pocket. Timex will replace the band for $10 if you ship it to them (including shipping). Hotline 1-800-448-4639. I got a postage paid box from my local running store. |
