Review on Timex T5E901 Ironman Classic Black by Dawn Bias

I mainly use this watch for pool laps and it works great but I have a few issues. The counter shows what lap you are on, not how many laps you have completed. In other words, when you press the start/lap button, you have completed zero laps but are on lap 1. The display shows lap 01, not lap 00. So if you have completed 24 laps, your watch will show one lap. 25. Even if you press the round button, the number of rounds does not increase immediately. So your watch shows lap 01, you press the lap button and it still shows lap 01 telling you you've completed a lap and doesn't automatically jump to lap 02 for about 10 seconds. listen for the beep to make sure you pressed the button so you don't have to keep checking your watch to see if the lap count has increased. (Make sure you are fully submerged before pressing the button while rotating the pool. If you dive while pressing the button, you will not be able to hear the beep.) If you don't know how Clock is working, your clock reads 18th circle (or whatever), you press the button and wonder why they are still reading the 18th circle and you think the counter is down. Remember that when you press the button, the lap number displayed at that point is the number of laps you have completed. Another annoying factor is that it alternates between lap count and hundredths of a second every few seconds. What's the point? I know the stopwatch works because the seconds count up, but then I have to watch it until it toggles if I want to know what lap it is. So I don't usually check how many laps I've done before the corner, nor in the middle of the lap. The start/lap button is located on the face of the watch, which prevents another button from being pressed. accidentally (when you press the watch to activate the button on the side, you put pressure on the other side of the watch, which can activate the other button and mess up your data). You can't stretch your arms while spinning the pool while hitting the button, but that's no big deal. It's a lot better than forgetting what lap you're on. This is a very comfortable watch. I have small wrists for my height but they are not too big. And I like how they look. In general, learning how the watch works can allay my grievances. I am very satisfied with the watch, especially for the price of 30€, and would buy it again and recommend it to friends. Hence a 5 star rating.
