My husband chose this for his birthday because we knew people had problems with Fitbit after it got wet.  He doesn't like to take off his watch to swim or shower at the gym.  He loves it.

Liked this watch in general.

What I like most: it does the features I need for running (timer, split, date) and want (alarms, 2nd time zone), and it's light weight.

What I didn't like:  the wristband is fabric, so when I sweat from running, it gets wet, which I find irritating against my skin. When I wash it, it takes a while to dry. It would have been better to have a plastic wristband. Also, the instructions on the start/split were not crystal clear. I had to figure it out for myself.

This watch is great for keeping my workouts stored for future review.  The tap technology is great for running but terrible for swimming.  When swimming the force of the water triggers the splits.  I end up being off on my lap count.  The water resistance however is great.

The watch is great. It keeps time perfectly. I don't know for the underwater part because it was not tried under these conditions. But the watch "glass" is actually plastic. On the wrist of an active little boy, it gets covered with scatches very fast.

Lovely, stylish watch--also swim each day, and it IS water resistant

A bit expensive for a watch, but I like not changing batteries and keeping the water-resistant feature.

I liked the idea of a watch that would serve as a heart rate monitor, pedometer and calorie counter - without requiring a chest strap. My first impression was that the design was not that attractive but still something I would wear during exercise. I'm not sure, though, I'd wear it during my work day to track steps, for example.  The reversible strap fits securely on my wrist but with its dual pin design it's not the easiest strap to secure and it isn't really that breathable. After some use it was uncomfortable to wear vs. other exercise watches.  The heart rate monitor seems to be very accurate but a major shortcoming is that you have to push a button to get a reading.  That is very inconvenient during exercise.  The second major shortcoming for me is there appears to be no way to sync data with an Android smartphone. Finally, it's not the easiest watch to set up for other features but that's doable with a little patience.

Despite the fact I love having an exercise watch with no chest strap, the inability to display the heart rate continuously without pushing a button and the incompatiblity with Android devices has forced me to stick with my Timex Ironman heart rate monitor/watch.  The Timex doesn't have the pedometer function and it does require a chest strap but on the positive side it is more attractive (I can wear it as an every day casual watch if desired), it has an option to continuously display my heart rate and it's easier to secure on my wrist and more comfortable to wear.

The LifeTrak is, in summary, a good product idea with potential but one, I believe, that needs a few enhancements before it's a viable option for many active people.

I love this watch. I've had it for 4-5 months now. I agree it is not too big. It is just the right size. I could take it in the shower-- no problem.

He does not have to be pressured to wear his helmet anymore.  The style and color are cool and the cooling air vents make it comfortable.  It's lightweight and comfortable.  The adjustable-size liner is a great idea.

My husband recently purchased The TIMEX T499509J Expedition Shock XL Vibrating Alarm watch and was delighted with it from the moment he put it on. He loves the rugged style, rubber wristband, Indiglo numbers and vibrating alarm setting. Then one morning he couldn't find the watch; and although we looked high and low, the brand-new watch seemed to have disappeared. After a few days of looking, we gave up and my husband ordered another TIMEX Expedition. Fast forward a week later, I went to wash his heavy Turkish terrycloth robe and, while the robe was sloshing around in our washing machine, what did I hear but a horrible clanking noise against the window of the washer. Uh huh, you guessed it: my husband had left the watch in his robe pocket! Well, I watched the watch spin around with the robe for over an hour (the load was in warm water, by the way) and when I took it out, fearing the worst--TA DAHHHHHH!!!--it was still working and keeping perfect time and even sported the correct date. So, TIMEX truly lives up to the slogan we grew up with, "Takes a Licking and Keep on Ticking." My husband now has two of these sturdy watches, but I am sure one will last him quite a long time.

I'm very happy with the watch.  It is nice to know that I will never again have to change a watch battery.  The bad part is the water resistence.  You can't shower with it on.  Otherwise I am thrilled with the watch.  The date is just a bonus.

I purchased this watch to wear while snorkeling. I chose this watch for three reasons: (1) it's water-resistant to 100m, (2) it's an eco-drive so I won't need to have the battery replaced, and (3) it's easy to read the time. It's getting difficult to find a place these days that will replace a watch battery, especially one in a water-resistant watch since it involves replacing a gasket too. I have another eco-drive watch (a more dressy one) that I've owned for several years and like that I don't have to worry about the battery needing to be replaced at the most inopportune time (like on a business trip) and it keeps time well. My only negative: the date is difficult to read but the date feature isn't important to me.

I had applied Inktomi skin last year which had gradually started peeling, so I decided to go with this protector.  I am also going to hit a hectic travel schedule soon so I needed a sturdy cover to prevent watch from getting scratches.  It fits well and works well.  The only issue I guess is that while washing hands or splashing face, it tends to take in water/moisture.  I have to then take it out and clean it.  This has happened practically every day since I applied it for last 1 week.  That's why I am taking one star off rating. In case you don't wear watch in the bathroom, I would say go for it.

It stays on the wrist with the Velcro. He lost two previous watches because they unbuckled. Has a wear in period to soften up the band.

I like how I don't have to take my Fitbit out of the watch.

My 8 year old son is obsessed with this watch. He has not taken it off since I bought it for him. He says he thinks it looks like BB8. He wears it in the shower every single day and it has not been an issue. He is pretty clumsy and it has stood up to him. He wears it during sports and it's still going strong. This is a fantastic watch and I would recommend it to anyone!

I have bought this watch for him every 6 years.  He has owned three so far.  After replacing the battery, it is not as water resistant.  Also, the band has broken on two out of the three of the watches.  I gave it 4 stars because of the degradable band.  No other watch has movable bezel, analog and digital time, with an alarm, for under $100.00.
