This is a nice looking watch, the metal band gives it a good look. However, that's all the nice i can say about this watch. I have worn Timex watches for over 15 years, i like the brand and the sporty style so I really wanted to like this one.

First of all, the buttons are horrible. They are small and hard and hurt your fingers everytime you punch those stupidly small buttons. They're not the same big, fat buttons on an Ironman.

Second, the clasp releases very easily. The metal corners catch on everything and it frequently comes loose. The edge of the table, the dog collar, long sleeves, etc.

Third, the display screen is hard to read. You have turn your wrist to catch it at the right angle. Maybe I am lazy but I just want to look down at my watch and know the time and date.

Fourth (and the last straw) was when I noticed it would randomly change modes. What a pain to wake up in the middle of the night, poke your fingertips til they hurt trying to get the darn indiglo button to light up only to see your time on lap 05. No thanks. I'll try another stainless steel Timex but this one is going in the drawer...most likely the trash can so I won't be tempted to give it another chance.

Ps- this one got stinky too. Stinkier than the other plastic and metal banded ones I've had. They all get relatively stinky, they're sports watches but this one STUNK and I didn't even use it to exercise in, wash the dog, etc because this was my 'dressy' watch.
