Hey all,
I need to get a decent running watch. I've read the RW articles but looking for some personal recommendations from the Triathlon scene.
Requirements in order of importance
1)Easy to use and read.
2)30 or more lap counter.
3)At least 2 different length counter timers. For interval training, yipee!!! :-(
4)Record more than one run.
From the RW article on running watches the Nike Triax range comes to mind. Any opinions? What about the Timex Ironman models?
All the best,
tribetter

Though that is the speed & distance model!!
30 lap memeory, large digits, run in it, cycle in it, shower in it.
Fine
Oh and it keeps almost perfect time compared to my radio linked alarm clock
Thanks

Thanks once again

With only one minor fault in the strap, I would vote for the Timex.
Does anybody know of a watch that you can programme with target split times and it will then calculate at each mile (or k) marker the average speed you need to run over the remaining distance.
For example, say you are aiming to run 10k in 40 minutes so you programme in 4 minute split times. At the first k marker your actual split time is 4:09 so your watch should then adjust the remaining splits to a target of 3:59 per k for the remaining 9k.
I've just re-read the above...does anybody know what I'm talking about?
Got the Timex Flix Ironman Triathlon (100 Lap Memory, ) a couple of weeks before Xmas for £24 from Argos. Well pleased with it!
