This is a great watch for athletes with aging eyes who also like analog features. I like to know exact numbers when I work out but many watches have small digital numbers that I can't see without my glasses. I also like analog features. This suits that need. Times watches are very reliable and lots of value for the price. The indiglo night light works very well so you can see what time it is in the dark. Highly recommended. 5 stars

I'm a wristwatch fan, and I have a modest collection of nice luxury watches, and I was looking for something inexpensive that I could use for "rough" activities where I don't want to damage my nicer Omega or Rolex watches. I wanted something with sport functions and alarm.

Most sports watches with digital displays (e.g. Casio or even other Timex Ironmans) are pretty ugly, they look out of place wearing anything but sweats and sneakers. But I was pleasantly surprised by this Timex model. You can turn off the digital display and it looks like a reasonable handsome analog watch, but one press and the display functions appear again. However, there are some drawbacks:
- the digits can be hidden by the thick hands of the analog display.
- The white on black digital display isn't very clear except in good light. You'll be using the Indiglo backlight often.

The rest of the watch is pretty nice overall. The casing is heavy, and thick but thanks to the comfortable rubber band, I don't find the watch annoying on my small wrist. The loop on the band to hold the end of the band secure stays put pretty well. The overall weight is hefty but not as overbearing as some other watches with metal straps. The finish isn't exactly Rolex quality, it looks like what you expect a $50 watch, the brushing is a bit uneven. The design is modern and smooth, and the watch looks a bit more expensive than it is.

The functions of the watch are pretty typical of any digital watch. There isn't anything about the watch I find confusing. As long as you walk through the functions once in the manual, you shouldn't have problems doing it again later without the manual. Usually you have to hold the top left button to go into set modes, and the other buttons go up/down or advance the setting mode. I could completely figure out the watch without the manual.

As for the sport functions, the three loop countdown timers allow you to set up intervals. For example, you can one loop to time running interval, and then a second loop for the walk break. The chrono function keeps track of 42 laps, and you can see each lap time in the recall mode. However, because the hands can easily cover the digits, I wouldn't suggest this watch if you really need to be able to read the digits at all times, stick with a digital only Ironman model

The Indiglo backlight just adds enough light to the digits to allow you to see the light in any lighting condition, but as I said, you'll more likely to use it in this watch because of the low contrast of the digits. The Alarm is average for a digital watch, it is good enough to wake most people when placed on the bedside (it isn't very loud worn on the wirst)

4 stars

Although I've seen some excellent reviews regarding 'ageing eyes', etc., this watch is difficult to see with the provided backlight. Even the daytime view leaves much to be desired. Doesn't appear as shown in the picture.

I don't think the large hands provide for easy reading of digital either.

I would prefer the T5E351, but don't want to take a chance without actually seeing it. I've already got one watch to return.

If this watch interests you, I think you should find a store that has it. I've learned my lesson and hopefully you can benefit from it.

First, this is a very nice watch, however, when I was shopping for it, the watch was listed in the Women's watches category. When I received the watch I discovered it was this gigantic watch that was totally inappropriate for a woman. When I complained to Amazon about the mischaracterization, they gave me a bunch of excuses and said they could not find it listed in the Women's watch category. That is because they quickly moved it. However, a similar watch, Timex Ironman Tri T56371 is still found in the Women's watches category. The only difference in the two is a different band and face color.

Bottom line. Very nice watch, but don't let the category it is listed in mislead you as to the size of the watch. 3 stars

The things I did not like about the watch:
Digital display not as bright as indicated in the pictures, it is basically a negative LCD display.
It is a bit heavy.
Resin strap.
Things I like:
Day, date, time all displayed at the same time.
Dual time zones. 4 stars
