Timex Unisex Ironman Triathlon Sleek 5/1 Resin Strap Watch #T54281

Timex Unisex Ironman Triathlon Sleek 5/1 Resin Strap Watch #T54281 Review



This is the second time I've bought this model watch and I still love it. The last watch I had like this wore out over time from how much I use it, but it lasted quite a bit longer than most watches do for me. The only physical aspect I don't like about this watch is that it's a little larger than I would like, but it still isn't too large. Also, I with the screen were a bit more resilient to scratches, but the scratches that do appear are small enough that you can only see them if you look closer. Overall this watch may have minor issues, but it is still one of the best watches I have ever owned, and it is well worth the price.

Timex gives its signature Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport watch a sleek new look that's a great fit for both men and women. Featuring a full complement of athletic timing features and a striking profile, the Timex Triathlon Sleek T54281 has a black matte resin case and silver metallic top ring that's complemented by a uniquely styled black resin strap. It features three alarms that can be set for daily/weekday/weekend/weekly alarms, two time zones, an all-day white reflector display for easy reading even in direct sunlight, and water resistance to 100 meters. Sport timing functions include:
  • 100-hour chronograph with lap/split

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.

A good watch until it breaks - Yada -
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 - T. Radcliffe - LA, CA USA
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! - Antonio P. Faciola - Madison, Wisconsin - USA
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.
