 Beware: The band will break in 13 months October 1, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great watch for running -- I loved the huge display, the large buttons that were mostly easy to push (the side ones are trouble sometimes but the lap button is always easy), everything. Great. Then, just past my 1-year warranty deadline, the strap broke in two places on the same day. The watch is now useless b/c, as others have noted, you can't replace the band. It's a real shame b/c until now I've never had a single problem w/the watch. I wore it every day for a year, including running many many miles w/it through all kinds of weather. So it's a great watch, but the unreplaceable band pretty much kills it.
 Band problem August 28, 2006

I have had a number of Casio watches over the years and they have worked fine with occasional battery and band replacement. Black rubber bands get stiff and crack. I received this Timex watch as a present two years ago. I have replaced the battry once and that is OK, if kind of soon. But the band has now cracked and it looks like the whole watch has to be scrapped. The band is integral to the watch.
Poor design, short life August 7, 2006
I purchased this watch just prior to a deployment to Afghanistan (I am a US Army officer). Upon returning, the watch battery died--for a total run time of less than six months! I discovered that the battery was drained by buttons sticking. Shortly after replacing the battery, buttons began sticking again. WHAT A HORRIBLE DESIGN! I am going back to the "traditional" IronMan that's worked for the past five years. After making this decision, I disected the watch to try and fix the button stick problem. NO luck. Timex, PLEASE go back to the drawing board on this one. What a waste of $69.
 Timex REPLACES the BANDS!! July 25, 2006

My band broke on this watch and I called the Timex Store and they sent me a prepaid envelope/box to mail my watch to them, and I got it back within 2 weeks with a new band. It only cost $7.

I bought one of these watches shortly after Timex introduced them. I was new to running at the time, and this was my first running watch. I chose this watch because I didn't need tons of bells and whistles, and the low profile of the watch appealed to me.
It worked great for about 10 months, and then one day it just...died. I think it was a winter day; I pressed one of the buttons before starting my run, and the display went blank. A new battery didn't help. It was still under warranty, so I shipped the watch (and a check for "shipping and handling") to Timex for warranty service. They replaced it with a new (or refurbished?) watch. After about 1 year, the exact same thing happened -- cold day, button pressed, dead watch.
Note that even though these watches carry a 1-year warranty, you still have to send Timex a check to get them serviced if they fail. This is spelled out in the very, very fine print of the owner's manual.
