Watches for Any-Wear
Timex , manufacturer of watches since the 1850's has nearly 450 styles including a premier sports line. One of Timex's best selling time pieces is the Timex Ironman Watch , which they have been manufacturing since 1986. Originally designed for triathlon, but you really have every sport function you need with the Ironman Watch . And if it's not a sport watch you are seeking, then, with near 450 styles to choose from, you can't go wrong with a Timex .
The Timex Ironman Triathlon watch is named after the legendary triathlon endurance event - The Ironman which consists of a 3.8 km swim/86 km cycle/42 km marathon. There are many Ironman events that take place each year, but the world championship is held each year on a gruelling course with harsh elements in Kona , Hawaii . Timex initially created these watches with these top athletes in mind who are not only looking for useful functions, but bold styling and durability. The Ironman watch has many features which help monitor intense training. Some of the features included are:
- a Lap Memory Recall for 30, 50 or 100 laps (depending on the watch model)
- chronograph that continues to run, allowing you to mark and instantly view up to 99 laps
with heart rate transmission for target zone monitoring (some models)
- water resistance up to 100 meters
- separate time zones
- indiglo night light
- long-wearing polyurethane strap
Although initially designed for the serious athlete in mind, the Ironman watch has evolved. Today, this watch , not only comes with a sport look, but also has other styles such as the Ironman Sleek and the Dress Ironman . The Ironman Sleek features new easy to read displays and oversized bold digits with aerodynamic designs. The Ironman Sleek stands out as the evolutionary leader among performance sport watch instruments. If it's a dressy look you are after, the Dress Ironman was initiated when Timex saw that their watch was not only being worn for exercise, but to the office, out for dinner or to the theatre. This watch is more traditional but still projects a sporty image and has features such as chronograph, shock analog and 50 lap memories, which makes it a watch for every occasion.
Patricia Norton, VP Sports Business at Timex explains "The Timex Ironman Triathlon watch collection appeals to a broad range of people by offering a variety of targeted features and styling options. We expect that the addition of new designs, features and functions will help us attract many new customers to the line and convince current users to upgrade."
Timex has a wristwatch for any wear from the classic watch to the youth watch and from outdoors to sports watch. Whatever you are looking for in a watch, Timex has the right model for your lifestyle and being the largest selling watch in America, really, how could you go wrong?
