 OoopsAug 19, 2010
HEY! LOOK AT THAT WATCH! IT HAS A METAL BEZEL! IT MUST BE STRONG!
Of course it is, look at that metal bezel. Just look at it. It can absorb any shock without much damage at all, transferring it all to the....the glass/plastic screen.
I dropped mine on the ground. it was cement. The metal bezel was yelling in rage of how strong it was and transfered all the shock to the screen, cracking it a bit. waterproofness=totally compromised.
I had to take the watch apart occasionally to bleed out the moisture and try to fix the screen. Oh well. It's still cool looking.
GUESS WHAT ELSE!
LOOK AT THAT RUBBER BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE! IT'S SO SQUISHY
until it deteriorates and flakes off. Leaving a nub of a plastic button for you to press, outlined with the rubber shavings of the dead rubber coating.
Also, You're out of luck if the watch band breaks.
This watch looooooks so cool though. Just buy it and use it as a wall clock.
 Good, simple, inexpensive watch for running/swimmingAug 16, 2010
Standard features and good performance. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the lap button is a bit tiny, but that's a very minor complaint. Haven't had the battery issues others have had, but I've only had it since less than a year, and in that time it has gotten the job done.
Tried this model after my full-sized Flix ran out of batteries....and I'm going back to my full-sized Flix todayFeb 13, 2010
I'm a long-time Timex Ironman wearer - I've had a full-sized Flix on my wrist for the last decade or so. When the battery ran out on my last model, I thought I'd give the this specific Sleek model a shot.
I should have stayed with what works.
The good thing I can report is that - like all Ironman models - there's the comfort of similar functionality: no need to glance at a manual; the Sleek works like all other Ironman models.
My disappointments:
- The reflective surface turns the display unreadable at slight off-angles. The relatively flat display on my full-sized Flix was readable without me having to take a full turn of my wrist towards my eyes. I ran a race two weekends ago and what was a mildly annoying problem during casual wear become a showstopper. I was struck by just how much effort it took for me to get a time-reading.
- As noted by others, the Start/Split (i.e., 'lap') button is problematic - it doesn't reliably work. I've missed laps (sure I've depressed the button only to find out it didn't take) or accidentally double-pressed the button.
- No Flix capabilities (an invaluable feature for these short winter days - you don't realize how great this feature is until you don't have it).
- The position of the four surrounding buttons is odd and touchy. Whenever I hit the Indiglo button, I end up also pressing the 'mode' button accidentally to boot. In fact, the 'mode' button is something I end up hitting a couple of times a day during casual wear. I go to check the time and see I've somehow ended up on 'Chrono' or some other mode at some point in the day.
I'm going back to my full-sized Flix sometime today.
Good watch with a few glitchesFeb 03, 2009
I've owned numerous Timex Ironman wathces and I like the styling on this one the best but the buttons aren't as reliable as I would like. When I hit the stop button when running it often leaves the chrono screen and goes back to the time screen. This is a minor annoyance but I've never had this problem with previous Timex Ironman watches. Other than that it's a real good watch.
Big step back from previous versionJan 15, 2009
I rated the earlier version of this watch a 5 because for its price it did everything superbly. Had just the right number of features and ergonomics. Really a fantastic watch for running, swimming, etc. My original died because the watch straps on these cannot be replaced and it broke. This new version has a stronger watch strap BUT the buttons on it are TERRIBLE. T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E. I wish I could go back to the previous version. Every time, literally every time, I click a button it draws a tiny bit of anger from me because so much pressure is needed. Particularly the lap button on the top I literally have to grab the other side of my wrist to brace it against my thumb as I push it. I know that my watch is not a freak one, since another reviewer found the same problem.
This watch was previously perfect except for the strap. Now with a better strap it could be the essence of an inexpensive and functional watch but for some unknown reason Timex insisted on semi destroying its functionality with these absurd buttons. Why, Timex, why?
*UPDATE* I really, really want nobody to buy this watch. As a measure of what I mean by its ridiculous lap button: I'm looking at mine now. When the button was molded the words start and stop are on it in 3D--not painted on or anything, but literally recessed below the top. The pressure required to use this thing now has the center of it flush with the bottom of these words, effectively smearing it. And I haven't been doing much lap activity since I bought it, either, so simply my finger has sanded away a good portion of the button because of how ridiculously stiff it is.
