Awesome GPS watch for running. I've owned Garmin products but this watch exceeds them! Easy to use and lots of features including water resistance!

Comments about Timex Ironman GPS Run Trainer Sport Watch:
I use this watch for running and love it. It was easy to set up and easy to update. The USB charging clip is very secure and easy to connect. I use the four line display so that I can watch my overall time, distance, current pace, and average pace simultaneously. I also like that I can choose to display less lines or display different fields depending on what kind of workout I'm doing. It will save multiple custom configurations.
It connects to the GPS signal very quickly (usually less than 20 seconds in a place I've already been and about a minute in a new location.) The accuracy seems spot on in most locations. It seems most accurate in open spaces, slightly less accurate in wooded locations which is normal for GPS devices.
The only slight negative is the size of the watch. I'm a woman with an average size wrist. On most runs I don't notice the watch at all. On longer runs (over two hours) I sometimes begin to feel it pressing on my wrist bones. This can be overcome by pushing it up and down on my wrist so that it's not hitting the same spot all the time. Overall, though, I was much more worried about the size of the watch face before I used it for the first time. Within a minute I didn't notice it much at all.
This is a great watch for the price. It has all the features that I want as a runner.
Service and delivery comments:
I ordered this watch in the store since they didn't have the exact model I was looking for in the stock at the retail location. I had it delivered to my house. Delivery time was exactly as promised when I ordered the watch.

Comments about Timex Ironman GPS Run Trainer Sport Watch:
I had a Garmin FR60 prior to this watch. I enjoyed the small size and functionality of the FR60 for my running needs (once I had the foot pod). I thought I could do without the GPS capabilities. After the garmin started having issues, I purchased the run trainer and haven't looked back. I'm currently training for a triathlon and the biggest factor was that it was waterproof... something the Garmin 210 is not (the other watch i was considering). This watch is very accurate and has enough features that aren't confusing. The trainingpeaks software is great for analyzing your workouts, the garmin wasn't as detailed imo. Size wise, it grew on me. I was a bit concerned at first but now realize it's a perfect size when actually running/exercising. I recommend this watch to anyone interested in competing.

Comments about Timex Ironman GPS Run Trainer Sport Watch:
Great item for training and everyday use. No need to keep that bulky and overly complicated GPS watch in your drawer until you train. You can wear this everyday and not be bothered. Setup takes time to charge, link up with your computer, and then make sure internal settings are to your liking. The software is lacking in its ability to be an analyzation tool, so you have to use it to download your workouts off the watch and then upload to the training peaks website. That gets kind of annoying, but eventually it'll get sorted out. This is a big step over the Global Trainer.

Comments about Timex Ironman GPS Run Trainer Sport Watch:
I bought this watch after trying on the Garmin 110 and deciding it just looked/felt too flimsy. I had also read some online reviews of the Garmin that made me question its durability in rain. The Timex, on the other hand, feels and looks solid.
I've been using it for a few weeks now and really like it. It gets the job done very nicely. And although it felt a bit chunky on my wrist the first time out, now I hardly notice it's there. I run a few times a week, for 3-7 miles at a time, and the Timex comes with me every time. The GPS tracks seem very accurate, although sometimes it takes a full minute or so to lock onto a signal. Battery life is very good -- I've probably taken it on 15 runs, and I've yet to really recharge it. I only connect it to the computer for a few minutes at a time to upload my runs, and the battery is still on its last bar.
The display is very customizable. I have mine set to display total distance, lap time (how long this mile has taken me so far) and pace (to let me know if I'm starting to lag). There are a lot of other options, including a 4-line display mode where you can include a fourth kind of data. The only real problem that I have with this watch is that the setup is not very intuitive. I would recommend taking the watch on a few walks around the neighborhood to make sure you have the settings you want before you take it out on a run. The first time I went out I was only seeing total time elapsed, so I wasn't even sure that my distance was being tracked (it was). Overall, though, it's a very good product, and it's great once you get used to it.

After a short period of playing around with the watch, I found it fairly easy to use. Great for running. I have used it for 5 months now and had no problems other than connecting it to the Device Agent software. Sometimes the software just shuts down. Work around is to just download again.
