Yes, it's a Timex Ironman Triathlon series watch. Only cost $20.00 USA. Great watch, tells time just as good or better than those super expensive watches.

I've had it since 2003 and I've yet to change the battery on it. It's still with it's factory battery. I wonder how long it was in the store before I bought it. So it's one though little watch.

Just get a watch that doesnt bleep, so you dont have to worry about that. So basically get a cheap watch that you dont mind losing or getting damaged that is comfortable and with a strap that wont break easily. It can be analogue or digital it is your choice, probably black or brown are your best choices.

I lost my watch last night!



It's been with me overseas, through the fighting, and even still had the factory battery.

I was doing my PT during class last night and it fell off during the run. I didn't notice. I got into the locker room and I was reaching to take it off when I noticed it wasn't there.

Damn is all I could say. It had sentimental value to me, but I can always replace it by going to Walmart later today.

I am sorry to hear that! Hope you can replace that watch of yours soon! Since you said it is good, Why not buy back that same Model?

BTW, Does Casio sell their watches in USA? Never heard anyone mention about it!
