Timex IRONMAN Triathlon Solar Dual-Tech Watch T5G691

I own/have owned several Timex watches, usually love the functionality/price ratio of most of them.

This one's a cool idea, like the dual analog/digital display, charged by light should last forever, choice of digital displays including none. Sadly, the visibility of the digital part only looks like that photo when you're in pitch darkness using the IndiGLO to light it up. In daylight (when most people run) you have to hold it at precisely 26.116798 degrees incident to the sun to even see the digits at all. Forget about it looking like that photo in the daytime. On a cloudy day, good luck seeing it at all, because it's not dark enough for the indiglo and not light enough to get your precise incident angle to the sky. In pitch dark, you'll have to reach over with your other hand to kick in the Indiglo, because this one mysteriously doesn't have the FLIX functionality.

Also, the analog hands obstruct the digital part. Eg, if you run around noon you won't be able to see the top digital display, or around 5:30/6:30 good luck seeing the bottom one. Annoying if you rely on splits in either one.

Also agree with other reviewers [elsewhere] that the placement of the SOLAR logo on the face at 9:00 is unnecessarily large and downright annoying because at first glance you'll think one of the analog hands is at the 9:00 position. Monster logo should be around the edge of the dial somewhere.

Close, but not quite.Buy Timex IRONMAN Triathlon Solar Dual-Tech Watch T5G691!
