  Excellent...if you're not expecting a replica of the one in the movie October 27, 2008
I got this watch over a year ago, and it is the only watch I have consistently worn during the winter and summer months alike. I truly love that it is both sturdy and functional, while maintaining a polished and dressy look at the same time. I'll reiterate the same points others have said. When you turn the dial to change the analog time, it is not synced up to change the digital. On top of that, there are separate batteries, so while my analog arms are dead, the digital is still running. That's a disappointment, and I can understand that at the price point that may not be possible, but I have to believe for a higher price point it would be easily syncable. I would pay as much as $120 for the ability to sync and a better, more vibrant backlight. The backlight is terrible. Didn't find many problems with the alarm other than it is a little bit confusing to set, but once you figure it out, it's fine. It's just an average watch alarm. Aside from the movie comparisons, though, this is by far the best watch I've ever owned, and has already more than paid for it's $60 price point (now it's $50). The fuctions abound, from chrono stopwatch, to lap counter, to giving you the day of the week, month and day, and AM/PM. I think my favorite function is that you can hold down the top right hand button for a few seconds to make the digital time disappear and just show the analog. I prefer the digital, but when I want it to look a little more dressy and classic, I can easily convert it. This is a very well made watch for the money, and a purchase you can't go wrong with. Just don't expect the watch you saw in the movie, and you'll be fine.
perfect watch October 18, 2008
I bought my husband a nice dress watch for work. It had a normal dial face and it was hard for him to read the date because the number was so small. I looked and looked for one that he might like that he could see better. He loved his sports Timex so much I happened across this one that was almost identical.
He is very pleased with it and I would buy another one.
Great Product October 10, 2008
I bought this item for my husband, and he loves it. We had to get a couple of links taken out of the band, and it is on the heavier side as far as watches go, but the extra weight hasn't been an issue at all. The watch looks amazing and is very versatile. The only downside is that the hands sometimes make the digital display a little harder to read. Definitely worth the money, even with the extra cost of getting the band shortened.
Very good watch for the price October 9, 2008
I purchased this watch, admittedly, after seeing it featured in the movie "Stranger than Fiction." No, it doesn't do all the cool things the prop does in the movie, but that's no reason not to like it. The look and features are great, and it's a nice mid-point between a "sports" watch and a dress watch (perfect for me to wear to work).
 A Lot to Work With October 3, 2008

I like Timex watches. I've worn them for 30 years. I wear them hard, sweat on them, dig dirt with them, and, sometimes, plunge them into the waters of Tampa Bay. Mostly, they keep on ticking in spite of the licking. When they don't change the date or something falls off, I just buy another.
My new Timex Ironman is just what I wanted - more actually. I don't keep track of laps or use the alarm. I don't need military 24 hour time. But I have them and a darn good watch besides. It will last about 2 1/2 years and then, since it is cheap enough, I can toss it and get another. Bite me Rolex!
