Timex 54571 25th Anniversary 30 Lap Ironman Triathlon Sports Watch


Reviewing Timex 54571:

This is my second Timex Ironman. It has a nice feature set for the recreational/fitness runner: light, compact, and the top button for starting/splits is very convenient. The plastic strap is much better than the nylon/velcro strap on my previous watch, which had to be washed regularly because it absorbed perspiration.

Unfortunately I can't recommend this version of the Ironman for runners because of the display, which has light gray numerals on a black background. It looks cool, but is very hard to read in dim light. Even in bright outdoor light, it takes a second longer to read than my old watch, and it gets annoying really fast.

Also, this version doesn't have some of the features of the newer models, like event alarms, and repeating timers.
