Amazon.com Product Description:
Rock your body during extreme workouts with the Timex T56442 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features shock resistance to ISO standards--enabling it to withstand breakage under adverse conditions. It features a metallic gray body with black resin top ring insert and a top pusher for easy access to lap and split times. Sport timing features include a 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option, 30-lap memory recall, 99-lap counter, and 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions. Other features include a daily/weekday/weekend alarm with 5-minute backup, built-in setting reminder, a durable nylon Fast Wrap strap (with Velcro fastener) with Scotchlite reflective material, and water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet).

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

Rating : - Good features - rubbish band
I used this watch for a few months for triathlon training and found that the velcro band deteriorated very quickly and lost its stick. The Ironman logos wore off and the watch came off in the surf one day while ocean swimming. I caught it just in time but then it came off again the other day at Bondi Beach and now is gone forever. Such a shame, I really liked the functions of the watch and for the price was great value (even with postage to Australia). I read some reviews that said the similar watch with the composite band is also pretty flimsy. I am no ironman, but neither is this watch I'm afraid.

That said, I must be either a sucker or loyal. I will probably buy another one and then try and sew a better piece of velcro on. I doubt Timex would give me another.
