Thread: The Super Awesome Timex Ironman Fan Thread
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Caraptor
I know there are a lot of Ironman fans out there. Stand up and be counted. I\'ve had this Ironman Shock for several years. And today I brought home this new regular 30 lap. This watch is really nice. It might be hard to tell from the pics, but it has a much darker grey resin body than the Ironman Shock, and I think this is a huge improvement. I know BREAKWATER has dyed at least ...
I think one of my first watches was an Ironman. Actually, it kind of looked like Mangler\'s up there, but with a bit more modern casing...although the display looks similar. Anyways, I really loved that thing. Back then I thought the digital display was the coolest thing. The Indiglo feature was really neat too, I must have pressed that button so many times. Good times. Who knows, I might ...
I have an Ironman 30 lap that goes with my to the gym, has never let me down. It gets abused more than any of my watches...I find myself being protective of my G Shock since it was more expensive, even if it can take more punishment.

I have a few Ironmen, including vintage ones. Everyone here knows I\'m a BIG Timex fan, but I gotta be honest. I\'m not that crazy about Ironman watches. I think the main reason is the font. It\'s too skinny. I much prefer the bold, easy to read fonts on Casios. Sorry, didn\'t mean to rain on anyone\'s parade. I do use the golf function on my Ironman every time I hit the links though.
Yep she does, she\'s my baby. I love the neg display on it, much better than the G\'s Ive had with them. I\'ve always preferred the Timex displays they are very easy to read. I just wish They\'d make the models longer than constantly changing them, this one has one of the best feature sets yet I think. I\'d love solar/atomic of course but I am satisfied the way it is.
Hehe, don\'t worry \'bout it . I don\'t like one more than the other as such but some things like the buttons and quality of plastics/straps feel better on the Casio to me. However, I still have to put my Timex through the paces so it\'s early days yet. A number of people report Timexes are tough and last many years so they probably are... which is a good thing ! True, screen is so great, they did an amazing job on that and...

I have good eye sight, so reading is not a problem. I feel that the font conveys a cheap feeling. To each his own. Understand that I...

I have a few. The top one is a Solar Ironman Shock, lower left is an Ironman i-control that I found for $5 at a flea market, and lower right is an Ironman 30 lap with flix.
