Good running / swimming watch
This is a good watch for runners or swimmers. Timer and stop watch works great. The alarm clock feature also works great. I use the alarm sometimes when traveling or just everyday use when my wife makes me sleep in the extra bedroom. HA HA. So if you are in the dog house and do not want the hassle of bringing an alarm clock with you then just take this puppy with you and it will get you up in the morning. I like to set the timer for 1hour and then go out running. If you are training for a marathon you know approx how many miles you can run in hour. So set the timer and take off. Head out in one direction for one hour then return once the alarm goes off. Also the battery just never seems to die on this sucker. I had one for five years and battery never failed or had to replace it. I just bought a new once since I lost the first one. The timer and stop watch also works in the pool.

Not very pretty, but what a great watch!
I bought this watch about 2 and a half months ago. I have to say that when I opened it up and looked at it, I was a little disapointed. The color scheme on this model is all over the place. The body of it is glossy black, the band is grey plastic, all of the buttons but the indiglo button are almost a bluish color, or darker grey, then the indiglo button is bright yellow. As I have gotten to know some other runners, they will almost all say that functionality is far more important than appearances. Timex is going to benefit from that mentality.

Since then I started wearing it running in the mornings and switching to my other watches for my work day. I found that this watch was so functional that I found myself looking at the wrong part of my wrist for the time. Secondly the watches that sit on the top of my wrist are not quite as comfortable as the OVA. As it is now I wear it all the time, except when I am wearing a suit. I get alot of questions about it, it is eyecatching.

I recommend this watch for anyone, but if you need a watch that will match your outfit go with something else. Hats off to timex for coming up with such a simple yet revolutionary idea.

Watch out for the Band
I bought this watch as a present for an avid sailor. After 6 months the band started to fall apart - the large problem is that you can’t get an over the counter replacement band. You have to send the watch back to timex which will take upwards of two weeks. They also do not have any other options besides the original rubber band, which I will assume will break again.

Excellent Job
Watch came in a timely fashion, in perfect condition. Nice job! Thank you!

New side-wrist Ironman
Clear, legible face with BIG numerals. Unique, side wrist fit that works. Best Ironman yet and I have had a bunch. Great for sailing.
