Customer Reviews
Not for everyone I've worn a Timex Triathlon/Ironman watch for over 15 years. About six months ago I purchased the data link watch, thinking it would give me the functionality of other watches I have had with the additional benefit of downloading data and holding other info. The biggest problem for me was that, as a lefty, the dial constantly changes the mode - particularly when I am swimming, so it is not reliable for workouts. This frustrates my use of the watch to the point that I'm back on the market and will just have this one as a reserve in case the new one is lost...while I get a replacement. Smaller issues are that the start/stop button is not as easy to use while doing interval training and the face light on mine was not bright enough to see the time at night. I never realized the benefits that I had envisioned because, although typically a person that downloads data, I found it easier to manually record the data. Also, although I synched outlook contacts to the telephone, nearly all the contact data the watch stores is already on my cell phone. I wasn't compelled to write a review until I saw the five star reviews and thought, if I didn't already have this watch, I might be compelled to buy it based on the reviews but would have wanted to know the things I have put in this review to consider before purchasing it. I was surprised to see the cost, I recall spending less for mine.

Great Watch! This is a great watch so far. I used the software provided at first, which was easy to use, but then decided to use my outlook calendar instead. I use this watch for the multiple daily recurring alarms that I need throughout the day to help myself keep on-task. (I have ADD) I type in my recurring reminders and when the alarm goes off my message rolls accross the screen. I haven't tried to enter an appointment manually without hooking the watch up to my laptop. I think it will be too long and tedious for me. I also like to use the countdown timer to limit my time shopping. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is becuase I wish it had the option to vibrate instead of just beep and I also wish there was one that is more feminine. This watch isn't stylish at all, so if you're a woman planning to wear this with anything pretty, keep it in your pocket. I've looked all over the internet and haven't found any watch like this one that is feminine looking. Don't get me wrong, it does look like nice quality materials - not cheap looking. Guys - it's cool looking for you. I have the rubber(?) wrist band and like it because I don't mind getting it wet. It's also very comfortable. So...that's about it. It's Definately worth more than what I paid for it. Shipping was excellent by the way.
Incredible Watch This Watch is outstanding, it has alot of options. You can set up data on the PC and transfer to Watch through USB. Overal, I do like this watch, and I recommend ii to you.Timex Data Link USB Watch #T53722
