Timex Women's Ironman Triathlon Essential 34mm Watch

I have had 3 IRONMAN Womens watches. I followed a video I found on You Tube to learn how to set the watch. Wish I had learned years ago. Things I did not notice or know before I purchased: I like a wider band and a replaceable band. The battery must be replaced by a professional. Product looks as shown. Mine has purple buttons. My wrist is small therefore the tip or end of the band goes all the way around the watch to the opposite side near the face of the watch and has to be secured with the band loop all the way or it will fet caught on items. So it is a bit long for my small wrist. The info says it is 7.5 inches long. I do not know my wrist measurement.For the price this has a good sporty woman's watch appearance. Since I have worn Ironman Timex watches for about 40 years, I am expecting it to last at least 8 years. The only reason I purchased a new one is the band caught on something and cut it so short that it won't stay in the loop and sticks out. I have not been able to find a watch repair person who can replace the wrist band. So it is still ticking-still working and it is over 10 years old. I can comment only on appearance and fit. Once I have used it a while I'll add more to this review. I am concerned that while setting the watch time and date, that it was already set in the 2016 year. It may sound like I am unhappy with this watch. I am happy with the price, value, look[fashion]. I just wish I coukd have predicted 7.5 inches would be too long for me. It arrived on time and with 2 other items in the same box. All in good condition.I do hope this helps someone to measure their wrist. The size of the font of the numbers is the same as my previous IRONMAN and "time" is easily read.

I keep coming back to this watch because it is by far the best in this price range. It fits well, and the band holds up and doesn't crack or break. The display is very easy to read. The only issue is changing the battery. It lasts about 2 years, and I have yet to figure out how to change it out. If you can switch out the battery, I bet it last a lot longer than that. I wear it every day and have never had a problem, even after immersion in water. I have very tiny wrists, and its sleek look doesn't overwhelm them. I made the mistake of buying a different watch and I regret it. Really made me see how much better this is than others.

This is a reliable watch! I’ve had two previous ones that were similar and the only downside with them was the battery was hard to change. Still, the usability and durability was worth it for me to buy another one. It’s a very slim watch, which was a big factor for me. And the price point is reasonable!

It pains me to only give this four stars because this watch style. I bought this to replace another watch of the same kind that I had for at least 5 years. It's a good price and it arrived on time. It got scratched within the first 24 hours of use and I went online and tried everything I could find to fix it, nothing worked. So I reached out to Amazon and they sent me another one. So far so good. The other one claim, clearly used, but I didn't mind. The package was mangled and the plastic screen protector that's supposed to come was missing. It was also moderately scratched which really bummed me out because I ordered it to replace one that was scratched. I managed to get the scratches off and everything was working fine. I set it up without a problem. But then after a day or so I noticed that it was losing time. Only a matter of seconds which may not matter to some but to me it was pretty annoying. I thought that maybe I had done something or maybe I just didn't set it as well as I thought I had. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. So I reset it, down to the second and again a couple of days later it was a second or two behind. I went back on Amazon to see if anything could be done. There's no option to return or replace it as it is the replacement. I also reached out to Timex's online chat service to see if they could help and there was never anyone available to chat with. I tried for three days to reach out to them. At this point I'm kind of at a loss. I might try calling Timex, which I hate doing because phone calls make me nervous, but I don't really know what else to do. It's such a shame because it's a great watch otherwise. The last one I had I had for several years and I wore it everyday. It broke my heart when it died. So imagine my disappointment when this one starts giving me problems.

This iron man timex has the basic features and price is very good. The quality is the usual Timex dependability. The face with features is a bit smaller than most . If you use readers this watch might be a visual challenge. I’ll still take a Timex anytime.

So I've owned the men's version of this watch for over 20 years. Love it. This ladies version has some issues. It displays the wrong time all the time. I know about the different time zone settings, it's not that. I thought it was because she would sleep on it funny but it's not that. It displays a wrong time and freezes on that time randomly. Press a button on it goes back to normal but it's messed her up so many times thinking it a certain time when it's not. I love this watch and so does she, it's comfortable and it does everything I need a watch to do and you can leave it on forever, mine never comes off. This is the 3rd women's watch I bought her of this kind from Amazon and the last 2 both had glitches. Strange glitches that don't make sense. I may try 1 more time because itlf it works the way it's supposed to it's the best Jerry, it's the best.

love this watch, I work in wet conditions and this is perfect!
