Review on Timex Womens T5K187 Ironman Essential by James Mayfield

This is my second Ironman, this version of the Pulse differs in a few ways from my first Ironman. The first Ironman was worn as a daily watch for four years before the band had a small issue, carry on. I willingly ordered these Pulse as a replacement and have been wearing them daily for 4 months at the time of this review. Compare the Ironman Pulse to previous Ironman models -- Benefits -- + Incredibly comfortable! + I love less and lighter. + Color is exactly as shown and as ordered. I have a dark gray strap with light purple buttons, thin and goes everywhere. Both were. +accurate time +very easy to set up and use features +great battery life (never replaced one), very very good water resistance for swimming in the pool and frequent water chores. I don't have a lap counter/timer. Pulse adds a heart rate calculator, it's just not smart. Cons for me: - Timer! not the same variable timer, limited to certain presets, max 1 hour. I often use a timer. I don't like this timer. -Indigo is too short - lights up well but goes out too quickly to go from the (former) timer back to a clock with no second Indigo. Minor cons but I might go back to another Ironman ladies watch next time. . At the end of the story, I love this watch for everything else it does, and it's so comfortable and light that you won't even notice it on your wrist. I unreservedly recommend the Ironman Timex to my friends and others.
