Review on Timex T5E901 Ironman Classic Black by Kent Page

Revainrating 3 out of 5

quality issues. Please note that some of them have dark faces

Click on the different images when choosing the color of the bracelet etc. and pay attention that some of the faces are dark and difficult to see are. Some like a darker face; some not. Many years ago I was a Casio G-Shock friend. They seemed rock solid and just amazing. Then when it finally died I bought another one (very expensive!) which failed after a few days. So I sent it back for another one which also failed within a few days! :O All my settings just revert to the wrong time, wrong date, alarms turned off etc for no reason. It's like the watch itself is doing a factory reset or something. to the Timex Ironman. It was wonderful! Finally, after nearly destroying one cosmetically after years of abuse, I decided to get a new one. In literally less than 48 hours, it did the exact same thing as Casio G-Shocks! It reverted to 2016, was wrong all along etc. So I just kept it and replaced it with a new one. My own conclusion is that both Casio and Timex have some quality issues. If you are lucky enough to get a good one, it will likely serve you well for many years to come! But it would be nice to keep the receipt for a while until you find out yours is one of the good ones.
