Does anybody still use the old-school Timex Ironman Watch for their running or triathlon training? I know GPS watches have been the thing for the last 15 years or so, but I'm interested to see how many people train with the old classic.

In our second collaboration with our friends at Timex we are excited to introduce the TJB take on the classic Timex Ironman watch. From the city to the trails, this dynamic and vibrant timepiece will keep pace with whatever you throw at it.

Truly a Great watch. I was looking for a sports watch with a good band vs the regular sports watch bands with the plastic/vinyl bands that break easily. Really like the bright colors and the mode buttons that are easy to identify and use. The James Brand TIMEx Ironman is one of my favorite watches.

The two times I wore my Timex Ironman HR Monitor watch in the water tag_hash_107(once in a pool to do laps, once in a lake to do 750 meters in a sprinttag_hash_108), it toasted the battery. The second time, it destroyed the watch entirely. I brought it back to REI for a full refund and recently bought myself a Garmin 405. I have a cheap Timex that I got from Target that I wear in the pool and it's never leaked. I'll just wear that for races.

I've had bad experiences with Timex Ironman watches. Two have died on me recently, one just before the start of a race and another just after a swim. I would avoid pressing any buttons on the watch while it is submerged. I'm begining to wonder if that's what caused mine to die.

I've been wearing the same Timex Ironman 50 lap watch from Target for years now and almost exclusively in the pool. Now, granted, I am not swimming a zillion laps a week. But I get in a few times a week. The pretty light blue band is a disgusting green now, but it works fine.

My husband spent a large amount of time looking for a watch for me to NEVER have to take off tag_hash_109(since if I take it off, I lose ittag_hash_110). This is what we found out. Will likely explain the varied answers. Btw, I have been swimming in a Timex Ironman for a few months, but my "all the time, even scuba diving watch is a Tag Heuer with a screw down crown.

What does "Water Resistant" really mean? tag_hash_111(per Chronometric.comtag_hash_112)

Here's the real scoop: Water resistance of watches is rated based on a laboratory pressure tests comparable to a swimmer or diver sitting still at that pressure level. But many water-based activities involve a lot of movement and other environmental changes. These exceptions to how the watch was rated may challenge or defeat the water protection features of a water resistant watch.

Even taking a shower or bath with your watch on can be bad for it. Besides the hot water issues already mentioned, many people do not realize that bath soap is a fine level abrasive. Soap can build up in the small, precision joints of the watch bracelet links. Over time this can wear down the link joints, ruining the bracelet. This is a greater issue with softer metals, such as gold. But steel can also be worn down this way too.

In 1986, Timex acquired the rights to the Ironman name, and developed the Ironman Triathlon watch based on the 1984 Timex Triathlon watch. Famed industrial designer John T. Houlihan oversaw the design of the Timex Ironman.[2] The basic functions and design were the same as its Triathlon cousin, except that the Ironman was water resistant to 100 meters instead of 50, given an updated look with a black, orange and grey color scheme on the watch face, and the 19mm ribbed wrist strap was adorned with the Ironman name and 3 stylized "M" logos. The pewter or metallic gray like color of 1986's Ironman original case was coated with Dupont automotive paint which was inspired by a car parked at Timex's office in Cupertino (no longer extant, adjacent to the site of Apple's present HQ).[3]

The Ironman Watch included time, stopwatch (chrono), timer, hourly chime, and three alarms. The first generation Ironman watches were commonly used by military and law enforcement personnel. A mid-sized, ladies/youth version of the watch was released the same year as the original. The original 1984 Triathlon and 1986 Ironman (full-size/midsize) watches remained in production until 1991, when the first of many cosmetic and design refreshes came along. This era of Timex Ironman is now known amongst watch collectors as the "Pre Indiglo" Ironman. An all-metal version of the Ironman was produced for a while in the 1990s and early 2000s. It featured a chrome plated brass case with a stainless steel screw down caseback.[4]

In 1992, the Ironman got its first major technology update since its introduction six years earlier, with a new Indiglo electroluminescence technology to replace the mini white corner backlight. Initial models of the Indiglo Ironmans were based on the same 1986 design, except they were painted black and silver, given a different wrist strap and were available exclusively at K-Mart before expanding into the market in early 1993. The original 1986 color scheme Ironman would get the Indiglo backlight at this time, as did the Silver/Stainless steel full-size version. The ladies/midsize Ironman would not get the Indiglo technology until 1994. In 1996, Indiglo/TIMEX developed a reflective blue-green or "all-day Indiglo" for its Ironman and other digital watches.[5] This reflective technology has since been adopted by other watchmakers and has seemingly been abandoned by Timex as evident in newer (post 2005) releases of its Ironman and other digital watches as they no longer have the reflective screens.

U.S. President Bill Clinton owned and wore several early models (including the original) of the Timex Ironman watch during his time as governor of Arkansas and in the early years of his presidency. In one of his early presidential photographs and at his 1993 inaugural ball, he is seen wearing a blue and black Ironman Triathlon. Clinton's forgoing of a more presidential watch such as a Rolex earned him some criticism; Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post described Clinton's timepiece derisively as "a plastic digital watch, thick as a brick, and handsome as a hernia", while Omega SA ran ads in 1992 suggesting that Clinton should give up the Timex in favor of something more expensive. Clinton stopped wearing his Ironman publicly in 1994, starting with the 50th anniversary of D-Day.[6][7] Clinton has since donated one of his early Ironman models to the Smithsonian.[8]

While this watch does allow you to view speed, making it usable for biking it is mostly designed as a running watch, making the price and features on par with the Garmin 610. Overall I think it lives up to the Timex standard of being a watch that will last for ages and get the job done without a lot of fuss. I am excited to continue seeing how the brand progresses in this space.

about ten years ago, my older brother broke my ironman watch. a couple weeks later he bought me another one for christmas though. then he got the idea of taking my old watch and returning it as the new one. the store didn't notice any difference and actually gave him a full refund.

I would just stick with the 30 lap Timex Ironman. I see it go on sale for $20 at Wal-mart sometimes. That solar one would be a waste of money because I think my batteries usually last the life of the watch, something else usually breaks on it before the battery goes dead.

If the indiglo doesn't work, you probably didn't get the contact under the button. Take the back of the watch off again and press the indiglo button. It should press on the flat spring that makes contact with the switch.

If you can, think back to 1994. Given the path that my life has taken, it was an important year in the life of a young boy obsessed with a great many things, including the underwater world, cameras, Playmobile, LEGO, and just about anything that glowed in the dark. 1994 was also the year I asked for my first watch.

So, sometime in March of 1994, my parents and I stopped by The Bay (a Canadian department store) en route to the movie theater. Armed with a king's ransom of gift money from my Grandma (no more than $50, which made me a one-percenter in the world of Canadian 8-year-olds), I bought my first watch. It was, and remains, a black-on-grey example of a very early Indiglo-equipped Timex Ironman Triathlon, fitted to a black resin strap. While Timex undoubtedly designed it for athletes in training, I could not so much as hope to conceal how happy I was with this little watch, and its cutting-edge electroluminescent backlight. I recall watching a VHS copy of Beethoven's 2nd sometime later, and being surprised by just how much of the film I had missed as I endlessly engaged that smooth blue-green backlight in the dark theatre.

For those that came up after the birth of Indiglo, I'm not sure this hit of nostalgia will find much traction. Previous to Indiglo, digital watch backlights were primitive little lights at one edge of the dial that seldom offered enough illumination to make the entire display legible in low light conditions. For a quick comparison, I offer (below) this Timex ad from May of 1993, which aired during the final episode of Cheers to an audience of between 80 and 93 million people and, while I did not number among them, I do recall seeing the ad during hockey games and it had a considerable effect on me. 2351a5e196
