I am a long time … I am a long time timex wearer. I had the first version of this watch. Timex got rid of one of the best features on the watch with this new generation. You no longer can “peek” at the chronograph from the main screen while your working out. On the old version, you could press a button and literally “peek” at how long you had been running. After you released the button, it would go back to the time of day. This was a great because it was instant and kept you from staring at the chrono
Good Q. I guess it … Good Q. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. This one has better tech, but the Endure is tougher. I’m not sure which one I’d choose.
It means that it … It means that it can be submerged in water at an acceptable depth of 100 meters. This watch can be worn when swimming and snorkelling.
Thanks for posting … Thanks for posting this vid, hard to purchase a watch online based on the blurb alone. Nice to see someone take the time to go through the features.
Good to know, but I … Good to know, but I would still say that this watch compared to my G-shock is analogous to a Kia sedan compared to a Jeep Wrangler.
Beg to differ with … Beg to differ with using this as a “beater”. Had mine for almost 2 years as my daily work /weekend/watersport/travel timezone and alarm watch. Love all the functions and readable dial. It has taken SO MUCH abuse on my job and has almost no scratches! Highly recommended
The interval timer … The interval timer is pretty awesome, and complex with memory and other features. Actually, running is a perfect application for this watch. It’s light on the wrist, the display is large for quick reads, and the buttons are easy to push and very responsive. I run with my iControl watch, but this would be my backup.
great review! I … great review! I read an article about this watch and it has an interval timer setting. Have you tried the interval timer setting yet? How is it ?
Since you mentioned that it doesn’t very shock resistant, would you recommend this watch for a runner that is trying to do interval training?

Would you recommend this one or the Timex Men’s Ironman Endure Shock 30-Lap Resin Strap Watch #T5K195?

…just don’t push any buttons when it is submerged in the water because water might seep into the watch.
Great design by John, Gali and Gary
