Keep your sports training focused with the sporty Timex T5F251 Ironman Triathlon multi-function, performance sport digital watch, which features a blue Indiglo night-light as well as the hands-free Flix Indiglo activation system. It features a durable gray and silver resin case, large buttons for easy access to timing functions, and a nylon Fast Wrap strap (with Velcro fastener). It also offers a 6-year battery life, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), three alarms, and three time zones. Sport timing functions include:
- 100-hour chronograph with lap or split option in large digits
- 99-lap counter
- 50-lap memory recall
- 24-hour countdown timer with countdown/stop and countdown/repeat functions
- Forward or backward setting
- Built-in setting reminders
- Top pusher for easy access to lap and split
This watch incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward “flick” of the wrist with a sharp “stop” will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.
The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer.

I was looking for a sports watch to do exercises and one where the strap fix and this was a good solution. It’s my first Timex sport watch and I’m happy with the features.

This watch has worked out to be what I was looking for. I like a digital watch which is easy to read and includes the ability to see at night. This watch has a lot of flexability and allows you to organize how many different time zones you want to display. If you dont need three,then you can turn one or two off. Same with the other options, if you dont need them right now, you can turn them off so you dont have to scroll through all the alternatives. The Indiglo function is great for night vision. The size of the numbers is good for me to see easily and the buttons are organized and labeled well to see which function to use. And the velcro watch band is great. That is almost my favorite part of this watch.

Exactly what I expected I have had many of this style watch. One problem the face on this watch is smaller than the older styles so the numbers arnt quite as big other than that good watch.

This watch took a beating and still kept going strong. I bought it prior to a three month archaeological dig in the Middle East. After 90 days in 110+ degree temperatures and being scuffed, scratched, and banged by dirt, rocks, and boulders everyday, the thing still worked perfectly. If you need a good, sturdy watch at a reasonable price; this is the one for you.

There is no FLIX feature as shown in the photo and as written in the description: “This watch incorporates the Timex Flix system, which activates the Indiglo night-light with a simple flick of your wrist. To activate FLIX, put the watch into Night-Mode by pressing and holding the Indiglo night-light button 3 seconds until it beeps. With the watch in Night-Mode, a forward “flick” of the wrist with a sharp “stop” will activate the Indiglo night-light for three seconds.” Instead, what you get is the Indiglo with a “Night Mode” feature that allows ANY button push to turn on the Indiglo. Of course, you can turn this feature off if you wish such that only the Indiglo button activates the light.
I’m buying this watch because I lost my last one while surfing. Yes, I shouldn’t have worn it but I wasn’t planning on surfing when I walked into the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the downside of the velcro band…sand or dirt can get in the strap and weaken it. The right kind of bump or sticking to other fabrics can cause the watch to fall off. Still, I like the comfort & ease of putting on & taking off.
This is probably my 3rd or 4th Ironman watch. I typically replace it every 4 years or so once the band wears out. It’s not much more to buy a whole new watch with the latest features than it is to simply get a new band.
Overall, a good watch for running & daily wear. I rated it a 3 purely because of Amazon’s misrepresentation of what you get. You’d think this would be fixed by now since other comments indicate this problem.
