I have used Timex Ironman watches for as long as I can remember. I love the mechanics - the timers, the interval timers, the stopwatch feature, the multiple alarms,the water resistance. That part is awesome. The last two that I bought were of this design with the fancy band. They look great when you buy them, but they DO NOT last! On the first one I bought, the band came apart from the watch part the day we were leaving for vacation. Out of desperation, I superglued it together which in turn superglued the buttons on the side rendering them useless. The one I replaced it with started seperating from the band within the first 6 months. Yesterday, I found the faceplate on the carpet. It just fell off. On both bands, which were blue and pink respectively, the color faded and showed the gray base color through. On my previous ironmans, the watches lasted forever and the band finally gave away after 5-7 years. If you do not expect these watches to last more than one year, then you should be ok. I completely recommend the Timex Ironman brand for both men and women. These are terrific watches for runners, especially if you are doing multiple intervals of different lengths (ie: 5 min/2 min intervals). I use the timer every night when I put my children to bed (and also when they need time outs). I use the multiple alarms to remind me to pick them up from activities. If you want satisfaction though, I recommend getting the thicker (somewhat uglier for women) band. I have seen velcro straps that you can buy to replace the band on those watches, but I'm not sure how they would work if you are in water a lot. I am in the medical field and need something that doesn't hold water as I am washing my hands often. That reminds me, these watches also perform well in water whether you are swimming, waterskiing, or playing at a waterpark. I've never had a problem with their water resistance.Get more detail about Timex Women's Ironman Sleek Digital Resin Strap Watch #T5K027.
