Hi everyone,
I have a Timex Ironman Flix 100 and use it all the time in races. It seems fine for me although I can understand why some would find it a bit fiddly and the function buttons aren't exactly intuitive. I'm also not keen on the fairly small split time displays which are just about impossible for my aging eyes during a race.
My partner is getting into running and is harping on about having her own watch with suitable functions ... dunno what's wrong with a travel alarm clock and a rubber band - but she's fickle :-)
So, who thinks their watch is fantastic, easy to use with clear displays ?
I must admit, I don't use 100 memory locations on mine .. 26 at most for marathon mile splits - then I put the results into a spreadsheet .. dunno why, doesn't seem to make me go any faster !
So, it needs to hold and recall at most 26 times.
But I do like being able to set the watch to bleep at various time intervals for speed sessions and for telling me when I should be at mile or km markers in races. That would also be a necessity for any watch considered.
Any suggestion for a suitable timepiece for her outdoors ?
Thanks and good running

I killed it in a year - not doing anything special, just usual use. And all the funky graphics on it rubbed off in weeks.
Now back to the Ironman - absolutely indestructable. But they´re not exactly pretty, I admit.
stopwatch with 50 laps
light that stays on for 5 seconds
two timers
alarm
ordinary clock.
Nice big buttons
Battery seems to last about 18 months, depending on how many times i use the timers - the beepers seem to run it down quite quickly.
Cost about £30 from Natterjack running a few years back.
His 'n' Hers watches, eh ?
Please don't point and laugh if you see us pounding the Derbyshire trails comparing watch displays :-)

As for the Nike SDM it seems to be riddled with problems ... see the thread and decide for yourself !
Expensive but good ....
