Like many who jog/walk for exercise, this is the best of all the running watches I've owned: I've had many Casio and Timex watches over decades or running/walking--age has me doing more walking than running these days. The size of the watch is smaller than many other Timex Ironman watches, so there's far less display sitting atop one's wrist, but without any loss of image size or quality. The beep and chimes are louder than Casio's watches; the alarms (three) are sufficiently loud to be used as morning wake-up calls. I have smaller wrists and the fit is just fine with plenty of band left over for larger wrists. The band has a slightly different feel from the earlier (larger) Ironman series. All the functions work per the watch's instructions; and Timex' Indiglo light is bright and clear, making the display easily readable, even in dim light.

I also have this watch with a metal band that is not comfortable for exercising, hence I purchases this 'working' model 30-lap Timex, which is lighter weight and feels comfortable on my wrist. This slightly smaller Ironman watch is to date the best workout watch I've owned re functions, size, chime/beep-level, and overall feel. If you're looking for a comfortable and functional workout watch capable of delivering split times with recall, this may be 'the' watch for all your timing needs. Let's hope Timex continues to manufacturer this watch with the same quality control. It's a useful and inexpensive 30-lap watch for those of us who love putting one foot in front of the other.

Note: if you're concerned about cosmetics, the Start/Split button is silver; and the side accents that house the selectors/pushers are actually more magnesium or titanium color than bright silver as shown in the photo. The watch looks as good as it functions.

Kudos to Amazon! I had to do a return on this item and Amazon sent a new one overnight, Saturday delivery. Amazon has the best customer service, ever!

Update
I've found this watch looses one second per day. I have an older model of this watch and it's more accurate than this recent purchase. Nonetheless, for an exercise watch it is good for recording lap times and splits.
