 FrustratedApr 20, 2009
By John M. Watkins
"Mike"
I work in EMS and health care. I have owned a Timex Ironman since 1993, when I purchased my first one during Army Basic at Fort Benning, Georgia and always thought they were great watches. Most of the time the wrist strap gave out after 3 or 4 years and I would buy a new one because I could not readily obtain a new, Timex band. I use the watch to swim and run, and purchased the solar watch because it was functional and the wrist band was sturdy; and no battery. I purchased it in August 2008 and it gave out this week (April 19, 2009): hit one button, the screen blanked and reset. Hit another and the clock stopped. I thought it might have been water damage so I let it dry out; although the casing appeared intact and no moisture appeared in the crystal. Then the solar cell discharged to empty. The watch continues to reset and I am very frustrated. For my work, the watch was perfect in almost every way. But if it gives out after six months I am not going to buy another if the pattern repeats.

 Simple watch, performs as promisedAug 04, 2008
By customer9999
I like this watch a lot. The face is easy to read, and the buttons are well placed and easy to operate. The back-light activates fine and gives enough visibility to see the time on the face. The watch also looks sporty and stylish. The watchband was a little firm at first but now it's easy for me to undo the band or re-clasp the band when putting the watch on.

Great watch BUT....Apr 27, 2010
By Suzy Q
I bought this watch for my husband in October '09 and he loved it, the size, color, ease of use, comfort, however, it is now April '10 and the watch no longer keeps time properly. After resetting it, not before long (hours later) the watch is incorrect. Not just the time, but the date and year as well. Not sure what the problem is, as it doesn't run on batteries and is charged by solar? Sad and disappointed that this watch is a dud.

 Totally unreliableSep 22, 2009
By Sinna
Bought two of these, didn't like the color on the gray one I got at a store too much, so gave it to my kid and bought the one with the black band at Amazon. Both died. One stopped working after one month, the other after about 4 months of normal use. Same problem, indiglo stops working, then watch freezes or goes dead. After a while comes back to life but works erratically. After my first breakdwon I went online and saw a lot of reviews from folks who had the same happen to them. I think Timex hasn't quite gotten the solar thing right. Buyer beware.

Start/Split button popped off after only 2 weeks of casual use...my husband wore it to work, nothing rigorous. We were unable to have it repaired as the opening for the button was larger than the button itself. Great in theory, not so fabulous in application. We ended up spending more to get the solar Citizen's watches and have had a great experience with them.
