Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon Endure 30 Shock 42mm Watch

I’ve been a Timex fan for years. They are obviously not a high end watch but they work well. I wear it swimming, playing tennis, bike riding, yard work, going to the movies… every where. The watch gets beat up a bit and it keeps on ticking, lol. I like the features- alarms, timers, light etc. You can’t go wrong - buy it. Highly recommend.

I'm not a Timex fanboy, and I've had my fair share of problems with the Expedition line, so this review is my honest opinion as a man who's worn Armitrons and Timexes since I was 10.I remember in 1992 when the Timex Ironman Triathlon with Indiglo was first launched - My older brother got one, then me and my neighbor friends. Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality. Even Bill Clinton was rock'n this watch, for those who don't remember.Quite simply, this is the perfect watch at a great price, in my opinion. Perfect as a gift for any man, and I think the original black/olive drab/yellow coloration is still the coolest. In this day and age of smartphones, it still pays to have this watch. The alarm is less annoying sounding than a cellphone, and doesn't wake up the entire house. To turn it off, just tap the watch, no more reaching for the phone or alarm clock. Timer comes in handy for anything; timing my kids' timeouts when they get in trouble, 15 minutes room clean-up times, etc. Chrono is fun for anything you wanna use a stop-watch for. I set the second time zone for Vietnam time. It really is a million times easier to use this watch for all of its functions than reaching for a smartphone or alarm clock, etc. If you;ve been relying on your phone for a few years as a watch/chronograph/timer/alarm - you'll be so glad you finally got a watch like this.I've never tried a smart-watch, however I feel those are not as necessary,durable or practical as a real watch. Other Timex watches I've used were freakin' trash - couldn't throw em away fast enough. Might as well open the box while holding it over a trash can, so the watch can fall right in when you open the box. That's my experience with the Expedition line-up.Back to this watch: The only thing I wish this watch could do is measure activity thermogenesis (calories expended throught the day) or work as a pedometer, which some smart-watches and other devices can do. I also cannott decide if I like this new, slightly larger, heavier/thicker design of the Ironman Triathlon over the 1990s design. The 90s models styling was "tight to death'. Star-split buttons were seperated. The mode button was yellow. Overall more compact and bi-cultural;by that I mean it looked great as an athletic watch or a politician, business man wathc. This new model is bigger, better ingress/shock resistance, and more of an athletic style over all, and is a little less colorful.I almost went with the G-shocks, but they still just look like crap and are waay to expensive. Sure, they have some better features, can survive WWIII, but I am a traveler. I need a watch that can work in the dark in any environment. The G-shocks are often using some kind of solar battery crap and rely on cathing a signal from an American automic clock in Colorado - good luck with that while your in Thailand on vacation.

Great quality watch for a great price. I have been going back and forth with smart watches and digital watches. While you can't track any data point here, the simplicity, ease of use, lightweight and overall reliability of this watch outweighs the shimmer of smart features. 10/10 would make this purchase again, but I plan on this watch standing the test of time!

I just received the watch. I need to say that it is good to use for workout. Firstly, I buyed a Suunto black/yellow one, very nice, but it was difficult to look at, with a lot of functions, but i was dissapointed because it didn't had a good view, regarding when you look about what time is it, because of the light. So I returned it and found out about this watch. Because I had 1 year ago a G-shock, I need to say that G-shock is better looking and maybe more resistent. I would definitely buy a G-shock instead of this one. I also like more the G-shock way of light than INDIGLO. But, now that I have it, It's impressive that it can resist on 200 m under water, but not very impressed on the other sides. The good thing is that you can see very clear what time is it. About fitting, I don't like it very much, it is nice that it has a big screen, but I taught it's a little much bigger. I need to say that I have a small wrist and it still looks a little small. Regarding his "height", being putted on my hand, estetically, I would liked it more if it would be a little larger on width. Clearly, it doesn't look so impressive, like how much is complimented on youtube. I need to say that the fact that it writes IRONMAN, makes me find it interesting. But between this watch and a CASIO G-Shock one, I would definitely choose a G-shock. I tried to give a more detailed personal review, I hope it will help you.

I have been wearing Timex Triathlon watches for decades. I’m in my 60,s and started wearing them in my 20,s. I use the stop watch timer all the time. The night illumination feature is great. I would not wear any other watch. No need to when this one has everything I need. Also I wear it when swimming. Have never had an issue. In my opinion, it’s the best watch on the market!!!!!!!

Great watch with perfect features, water resistant and toughness

Love these watches. They stand the test of time, look great, are comfortable to wear and I don't have to worry about being connected to my phone while wearing it!
