Ironman..., September 7, 2009

This watch is so sleek, the band really makes this watch stand out. Its sharp looking for sure. I like how the watch has so meany features. Just ont eh face of the watch it tells you the time, day, and date. It also has military time which is conveinent. You can put two different time zones in it as well. The one thing about the pedometer I dont like is it doesnt seem very accurate, but I didnt buy it for that anyway.

Does the job, July 12, 2009

I have a small wrist, and I'm not sure what the other reviewer's wrists are like, but this fits me fine. Also, there are + and - markings on the face of the watch marking designated buttons that I can see easily (someone complained of no such buttons or not being able to see the markings, but how can you not have seen them, you mention them?). I think this thing is great, I'm not sure what was in everybody else's watch box.

Great Running Watch, January 18, 2009
I got this watch for my sister for Christmas. After calibrating it it has been very accurate and reliable. She is a marathoner and she says it is a must have for both training and racing.
Completely inaccurate pace & distance calculations, December 21, 2008

*** Unable to lower rating I was originally thrilled to get this watch because of all the great features, but ladies should be forewarned that it is a very large watch face, especially for a thin wrist. It is certainly bulkier than I want to wear as an "everyday" watch. After I played with the watch for a week, I would actually change my rating if I could (1 or 2): I don't know if there was a problem with the watch I bought or if this is a common problem, but I calibrated it 4 times, and it still would not accurately calculate distance and pace. I ran 3 miles in 33 minutes, and it told me I ran a 59 minute mile pace for a total of 0.4 miles. It seemed to calculate steps accurately so I don't think it was a battery issue.

Woman's Watch, December 21, 2008
No where in the description does it say it is a woman's watch. I guess Midsize and sleek should have been the clue? May be a good watch for a woman but I was trying to find something for my husband. I am sending it back.

Wendy Bumgardner, the walking guide at About.com, is not very impressed with the Timex Fitness Triathlon Fitness Tracker T5K093.
