Timex Midsize Black Ironman Sleek iControl Watch #T5K047

Amazing
I was surprised to find just how useful this Ipod adapter was during my morning run or just doing other tasks which required my Ipod to be tucked away.

Timex Ironman watch
Great watch. Just need an Ipod. I live in FL and work in a Restaurant its a cool clean watch to wear all day.

Pretty good but could be better
Pros: Reverse indiglo, remote control feature, sleek look, fuctions are sports-friendly, practical for when an ipod is out of reach Cons: "Mid-size" description gave me the impression it was going to be bigger than it actually is It would have deserved a 5-star rating if the remote control feature did more than just volume control and move through playlists

Bought this because it was cheaper thn getting another heart rate monitor.It works well and it makes running or biking easier. However it seemed to take more battery power from the i-pod.It soon lost its gimic magic and I have gone back to the heart rate monitor.However,I will give it another chance.

1 glitch but otherwise, so-far-so-good
It has performed exactly as described. I chose this one for its plain, no frills styling (all black...I like it that way)and size. I made sure I purchased the largest, plainest model available so it couldn't be confused with the female versions. It is quite large; I like that, too. I'm not so fond of the wrist band styling, but it's not a major issue although I wish it was fastened onto the watch body in a more traditional manner. I wish it had the push-pins that other watches have so you could purchase a replacement band off the shelf and replace it yourself. This band appears to be integrated as part of the entire watch body. It seems sturdy, but if the band were to break it looks like you might need to have a jeweler replace it for you. I mention this because I've been pretty rough with all my previous Ironman products. The glich: I was on an elliptical machine at the healthclub that was wireless enabled for heart monitors and I think the transmission signal may have disturbed the watch function. The song volume spiraled uncontrollabley loud and spontaneously. I detached and re-attached the receiver and it worked fine and hasn't done this since. I'll keep an eye on this. an oddity: This display is very large and readable; however, when you activate the indigo/nightlight the illumination is "reversed." On my previous Ironman's the numbers would remain dark and the background lights up green. This watch lights the numbers green with a dark background...like a negative image. It's fine; I just had to get used to it. overall: I'm very happy with my purchase and I would recommend it. I've gone swimming with it and it works fine - just make sure you follow the instructions and DON'T press the buttons while you're underwater for fear of damaging the watch. The only other thing is maybe it's a LITTLE larger that I'm used to. FYI: I don't know if Amazon updated the product discription to include 6th generation iPods, but I went to an apple store and checked it with Nanos and Classics, (G6). It works.
