 WatchNov 20, 2009
The watch is a little more basic than my last one. The numbers are the largest ever on a watch. I can see it without my glasses. Overall it is fine. The service was good.
Band design is awful. Watch functionality is greatNov 20, 2009
Poor band design:
The battery lasted six months. When changing the battery the band had to be removed. My local jewellery store nor I could get the pins to seat to put back the band after spending 45 minutes on this. Turns out the pin seats (holes) are in a plastic retainer which looked worn after six months and the pins wont seat easily (not at all in my case). I called the company and they said they would put the band on for free. Very prompt and polite customer service.
Great display and functions:
The display is great. The six alarms are handy as is the countdown timer. Sleek
without the bulk (and smaller numbers) of some Casios. It is a little slow changing between modes. I dont anticipate it lasting indefinitely like my Casio g-shocks which are indestructible. Still a lot of functions in an elegant (albeit not robust) package for about 50 bucks. The large display easily beats the Casios I was looking at before buying this watch. Havent used the 100 lap function though
its great if you need it.
 Very well thought out watch for interval trainingNov 16, 2009
I bought this watch to help me with the "Couch to 5K" (c25k) running program. This entails nine weeks of running three times per week. It progresses from a very easy start (first week starts with brisk five minute walk, then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes). Then the second week it's 90 seconds of jogging, 2 minutes of walking, and so on, until by the end of it you're running 3 miles or 20 minutes non-stop. It's a nice program for people who are out of shape. So I wanted a watch that could help me time all this, and this model does the trick perfectly. It's been a while since I owned a digital watch, and I'm impressed with how much thought has gone into the design. The little things jumped out at me when I started playing with it - for example, pressing the 'Reset' button will show in big letters 'HOLD to reset' while you have it pressed in, which makes it obvious how it works. If you know the general idea of how these things usually work, then you really don't need a manual. Here's a quick rundown:
The mode button cycles through the screens - Time, Chrono (stopwatch), Timer (countdown), Inttmp (Interval timer) and Alarm. If you stop at any of those, then after a few seconds, pressing Mode again will take you back to the main Time screen. I really like the feel of the buttons - they have a very satisfying clicky kind of action, without being too stiff.
Other nice touches: The countdown timer has the option of either stopping, repeating, or going automatically to Chrono (stopwatch) at the end. That last one is ingenious - it means I can set the countdown for 5 minutes to do my warmup walk, and then it'll go straight into stopwatch so I can tell how far I am into my total workout time. When the countdown finishes and the chrono begins, I can then switch over to the interval timer mode and start that program. For the first week, I am setting two intervals - 60 seconds and 90 seconds, and repeating at the end. While the intervals are running, the watch displays which interval you're on (1 or 2 in this case) and which rep too. Also, the different timers can be running simultaneously - so the chrono is keeping track of my total time, while the interval timers give me cues for when to run and when to walk. The beeps are very audible and hard to miss in a normal street environment.
Even for later weeks, when it gets more complicated, this watch will still be able to do what I need - for example, week 4 has the five minute warmup walk followed by jog 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, jog 5 minutes, walk 2.5 minutes, jog 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, jog 5 minutes. That is 7 different times, which can be expressed using the interval timers - there are nine, so just use 7 and do one single interval (rather than the usual reps).
I don't use alarms much, but there are five of them and they are very easy to set and turn on and off. Also, you can set each alarm to be active on weekdays, or weekends, or specific days of the week. I guess if you had a different schedule for each working day, then you could set an alarm for each one in theory.
The watch feels good on your wrist - it's not the smallest, but it's not as clunky as I was fearing either. I have pretty small wrists, but it doesn't feel too big at all.
I like the light feature, and the Flix function seems to work well too - you don't have to flick your wrist very hard to make it happen. That might be useful in situations where you only have one hand free.
I really like how the watch display is very simple, and the numbers are large and easy to read. Very nice for when you just want to take a quick glance while on the move without having to squint or decipher what the heck it is supposed to be showing. A lot of watches have little gimmicky graphics that look good in the store but actually just waste valuable space. This watch just shows you what you want to see, in a very easy to read manner.
The Chrono has 100 lap memories, but I have not used this yet. I guess it would be useful if you are doing a lot of running around a track.
All in all I am loving this watch - it's really hard to think of anything they got wrong here. It seems like someone put a lot of thought into it. If you need something for doing interval training, particularly running outside, then this is just the thing. I don't know how noticeable the beeps would be in a loud gym environment, but it seems pretty loud to me. Since it's so close to you, I think it would have to be pretty loud music for you not to be able to hear it.
And, of course, it's a fine wristwatch too. I'm tickled pink at finding this thing, it's a real gem.
Best Rubber Watch, Ever...Nov 06, 2009
Alright, quickly now...
I have worn rubber watches since the ground-breaking debut of the Casio J-50 Jogger/Pacer watch. Anyone who wears rubber watches knows this drill: wear them until the battery goes; attempt battery replacement; throw watch away and purchase new one (and take advantage of innovations transpiring in the meantime).
This is, far and away, the best rubber utility watch I have purchased. The display is LARGE and has no equal that I could find. The numerous functions and mode features are easily accessible and thoughtfully placed. The construction is rugged and designed for rigorous wear. This watch also ticked (seemingly timelessly for a single battery) w/o interruption for three years before... THE DREADED DEATH OF BATTERY LEADING TO OPEN SURGERY.
Well, I did it! IT LIVES!!! I must say that it was a pain in the a** and requires several deep breaths to contain one's frustration. The band does, indeed, have to be removed and is secured by spring-loaded pins that can release the spring-loaded pin portion (to be lost forever in the carpet) quite easily. The battery replacement involves the usual, delicate procedure to emplace the new battery (CR25) typical of such watches, and the screw heads on the back enclosure are especially small. But, nevertheless, it can be done. Hopefully, I won't have to face this coming-of-age challenge again.
I highly recommend this watch for any outdoor (or indoor, for that matter) enthusiast.
A very nice watchOct 18, 2009
This is a very handsome and nice fitting watch. I was looking for something to replace my Timex Ironman 'Sleek' watch that served me well for years but the stainless face fell off one day. This Ironman model has the same nice display (big numbers) and functions as my previous watch but fits my wrist much better with a nicely designed curve in the band mounts. It does not slide around my wrist like my sleek watch did. The lens is recessed to help protect it from scratches. I highly recommend it.
