Timex T5J571 Sports Digital Resin
I bought this watch recently after years of not wearing a watch. I have a bunch of dressier watches but kind of like a cheap timex for daily wear so i don't have worry about it at all. over the past 20 years i've had two other timex ironman type watches. I've got smaller wrists so the face size is important in terms of looks. My first ironman was a bit of a smaller face - gave it away after a few years. I next purchased a bigger one but that was a bit too big and the time display was kind of small - too much real estate of everything else. This one is not an iron man but for everything i do, it's fine. the face size is in the middle and the real estate for the time is wonderful taking up a bit over half of the face. the strap is great and seems to be good at discouraging odor though it's not breathable. I'd buy it again for sure. it's water proof in the pool and giving kids baths - perfect for my needs.
the only caveat that reared it's head this morning was that it doesn't take into account leap year. ha. so once every four years, i imagine i'll have adjust the date.
it's cheap, its perfect for smaller wrists and it has all of timex's functions from the past 20 years at least.
I bought this for my athletic, too-cool-for-school 12 year old brother... one of the gifts that he actually liked! He uses the "timer" function to time everything, from TV commercials to his running times, and enjoys the various functions, and is always telling us what time it is. Great for the price, and fits anyone from my scrawny brother to my dad. Awesome buy!

This is a great watch. It does everything the description says it does. It looks and feels well made. It's a decent size, fairly large, but not huge. I've had it in the pool several times and have had zero problems.
BalasHapusI really like this watch, I got it for working out and jogging. I think it has a nice pleasant look to it, unlike many digital watches, and it is very comfortable to wear. Watch is very lightweight and the band looks very handsome. Has everything you really need, two time zones, timer, stopwatch, daily alarm, indiglo. I use the stopwatch to time how long my tea brews, and the timer to keep myself from burning things in the oven. The alarm has no snooze, so I wouldn't rely on that to wake you up, but perhaps you could use the alarm as a reminder to do something. For 15 bucks, this watch is a great buy.
BalasHapusI needed an inexpensive watch that displayed large numbers as well as the date. This was IT!! I am at the age where I need reading glasses. I can read the time and date on this watch without reading glasses. Also, very comfortable band. I was using a metal band watch which sometimes pinched my skin and was a bit heavy. The size is right as well. I don't like really large watch dials. The best part - the price. A disposable watch which I can replace every 2 years for $15. I could never understand people shelling out money for a Rolex just to tell time. I suppose it's all about priorities.
BalasHapusI bought this watch to take the beatings so my dress watch wouldn't have to. This is a great watch. After almost two years, and many lickings, it keeps on ticking. All functions work. Lightweight, easy to read dials. And love the night time illumniation especially on camping trips. Highly recommend.
BalasHapusWhen I was a child, I remember John Cameron Swayze advertising Timex watches, ending with the line, "Takes a licking, keeps on ticking." I needed a watch that was digital. sitable for use outdoors, and able to be read at night. I chose the Timex because it had all of these features, plus showed day, date, could time events, had an alarm, and showed either 24 hour day or a.m./p.m. readings. I am totally pleasaed with the Timex. It is very easy to learn how to change the settings, enter the time, and is very easy to read. I needed a replacement for an older digital watch that I purchased on a cruise. The Timex surpassed all my expectations, and cost less that $20.00, which was the price back in 1976. A better product for a lower price.
BalasHapusI bought this watch primarily to use as a nurse, but I have also found it useful for my workouts. I love the display and how easy it is to use. I got the watch within 1 week even though it stated it would take 6-8 weeks, and I havent taken it off since. It was easy to program the times and even set the alarm. The display is probably my favorite feature of the watch. However, I was not looking for any complex features, and this was perfect for me. I love it. Like I said I also wear it for exercise purposes and it has withstood the test of the elements. Rain, wind, whatever I am running it - it holds up. I love this watch.

BalasHapusI used to own a Timex Ironman watch. Like every other digital watch I have ever owned, the crappy band eventually broke. I replaced it with a Casio Wave Ceptor. I had to relearn the buttons, but was pleased with that watch for many years, until, of course, the crappy band broke. I decided to go back to Timex. Since I didn't need the lap recording feature any more I decided to save a few bucks and just get the simpler sport watch. Since it cost about the same as a replacement band for the Casio, it made sense to just get a new watch. I could not be more pleased. The numbers showing the time are plenty big to see at a glance. Setting everything is a breeze. The only downside compared to the Casio is that it does not update the time automatically. But its built in accuracy makes that unnecessary. I understand that the next time Feb 29 rolls around I am going to have to adjust the date. If the band lasts that long I will be happy to do that.
