Sport Timex Watch

Timex Ironman Watch

The Timex watch has been a staple wrist watch here in the United States since 1950; in fact, although Timex watches are marketed worldwide its greatest market base is in the United States and Canada. There are many types of timex watch, from casual watch, luxury watch until the sport one. The famous one from sport timex watch is Timex Ironman. This is sport utility watch, and has much function, and the Timex Ironman has gone from strength to strength and has become one of the most popular sports watches amongst athletes and recreational runners alike.

Here are five reasons I think every athlete should consider the famous sports watch, when they purchase their next watch:

1. 100 hour Chronograph

From the very original watch, the stopwatch has supported 100 hours. 100 hours is probably overkill for most of us, yet it’s reassuring to know the watch has the capacity to see us through all, but the most prolonged endurance event.

2. Multiple Laps

Since the days of the original watch, Timex Ironman Watches have had the capacity to store multiple laps, 8 in the original watch. The Timex DataLink watches can store an impressive 200 laps. Every athlete who logs their repetition training sessions should have a watch that can record multiple laps in their session and in this department, the Timex Ironman watches deliver.

3. INDIGLO Illumination

In a perfect world, we would all train in daylight. Timex watch came up with an illumination systems that left other sports watches for dead. It was called INDIGLO. INDIGLO uses patented Timex technology to light up the digits in a striking fluorescent green at a fraction of the battery consumption compared to other sports watches.

4. INDIGLO Night-Mode

INDIGLO night mode was engineered after the INDIGLO night life received a resounding reception from the endurance community. Night mode is an ingenious system that can be switched on in low light conditions to activate INDIGLO at the press of any button on the watch. This removes the need to memorize which button to press, or fumble around in the dark.

5. Water Resistance

Your Timex Ironman watch is guaranteed to be water resistant. That means you can take it with you swimming or even in the bath if you are so inclined. The depth of the water resistance usually varies between 50 and 100 meters between Ironman models. If you are considering some serious diving activities you might want to look for a diving watch like the Timex Expedition. Otherwise you can rest assured that your Timex watch can handle a little dunk in the water.

After you read the reason why to choose Iron timex watch, here I review one of timex watch from amazon.com

Timex Watches Ladies

The younger generation today don’t always wear watches. This is because technological pieces such as iPods, iPhones and cell phones can make great substitutes for wrist watches. However, there is something about an elegant looking watch which will make them popular accessories for a long time yet.

Watches Ladies come in four main types: sport, jewellery, fashion and classic.

Sport ladies watches usually come in a feminine color like pink or pastel and include sport functions such as stop watches, alarms and even heat monitors. Typically they are waterproof.

Jewellery watches are the expensive types and are often made from precious metal like gold, white gold or silver. They can have diamonds and other precious stones embed with in them. These pieces are more about elegance and expensive looks than about functionality.

Ladies fashion watches are designed to match the current fashion trends and can come in all sorts of different colors and styles. Classic ladies wrist watches are the old fashion or antique looking watches that are very traditional.

Choosing a lady’s watch for the special woman in your life is really about knowing her lifestyle. If she is into fitness or sport then a ladies sport watch would be ideal. If she is very particular about her looks then either a fashion or jewellery watch would suit. Women who are more conservative tend to suit classic looking watches.

Most women’s watches retail for about $50. The more expensive jewellery watches can range into the hundreds or even thousands. The exact price will vary according to the brands, functions and quality.
