TimexMen's Ironman Essential 10 Full-Size Watch

I always buy men's watches and so far this has been my favourite! It's lightweight and easy to set up plus you can turn off the bleeping noise. The strap has a part which means it doesn't come off easily - you just need to slide the strap off to undo.

I have had two of these watches. Both developed condensation inside within about three months. They refunded the first one (though it was not simple to navigate the system, I had to phone Amazon in the end) so I bought another hoping it was a one off fault, but unfortunately it was not. The instructions say : WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS UNDER WATER. But what use is that? It's supposed to be a water proof watch!!!I always had Timex Marathon watches before (I bought a load of them when they were being manufactured in the 1990s and they kept me going for years and years ! ) only one of them developed condensation inside (despite buttons being used under water) and that was only after a year or two of use. And they were just as slim as this watch (not like bricks on your wrist like the Classic Ironman). In addition they had both the start / stop and the split buttons on the front where they are easily accessible : MUCH BETTER. This watch only has one button on the front and the other on the side which is difficult to use when doing swim reps.Basically, had the watch not leaked I'd have given it one or two stars, but since two of them have leaked one star is the most its worth, if that.

Own both Timex Ironman and G-Shock. I prefer Ironman for day-to-day wear. Alarm is louder, can set more than one and special event reminder. Its fairly rugged and for £35 does a good job.The G-shock i tend to keep for travelling: multi time zones, 200m WR, and solar operated. So good for holidaying

Bought this watch for 3 reasons. Timex is great value. Best looking orange watch I saw. Big size. The latter is why I'm a bit disappointed as the watch face is only 50% of the total size. Still will love wearing it.

Great product. Just what I wanted, simple to use (although I will have to use the user guide to work out the stopwatch features), large, clear readout with a good back light which is essential when I am not wearing reading glasses. Not too big or thick, comfortable to wear. Can't comment on durability or reliability as have only had it a few days, but my previous Timex watches were good.Delivery was next day which was brilliant.

Its a nice watch/ the price on Amazon was the best I could find in the uk /Amazon sent the watch very quickly / the reasons i like the watch are it appears to be well made but time will tell ? / the back light is very good with a 3 second delay giving plenty of time to see the time or adjust/ it is easy to use and adjust all the options / its a nice looking watch.Things I don't like its a bit smaller than I thought / its more unisex than just male / slightly overpriced but still worth buying / a good buy for holidays ect.

Excellent watch with a feature on the strap to make it less prone to split

I bought this specifically because it stated "Triathlon" and "WR100m", as I wanted to swim with it. I didn't get the chance to swim until after the first month had elapsed - what a big mistake! I swam in a small pool and quickly realised that the watch had leaked, as shown.I went onto the Amazon site to resolve this but as it was after the 1st month I had to go through Timex directly. The link provided on the Resolution page simply took me to a webpage advertising new Timex watches, with no link to Customer Services. Were they trying to tell me something?I tried the telephone number on the Resolution page - "Sorry this number is not in operation".So I went online to find a contact number for Timex and telephoned. They directed me to an email address for UK resolutions. I emailed the given address and received the prompt response as follows:"Thank you for your inquiryPlease note we are currently experiencing a high volume of emails at the moment.Your email will be responded to as soon as possible.Please allow 24 to 48 hours for a reply."Four days later, I am still waiting for a response. I phoned the help line again (which is in the USA) but they simply said they would escalate this but as it was a Friday this wouldn't happen until after the weekend and then it would be.....24 to 48hrs.I'm not holding my breath for this.My advice to you - don't touch this with a barge pole
