Timex Ironman: Keeps on tickin'

December 24, 2007

I have owned two Timex Ironman watches and I just lost the second one after 5-7 years of use. I was thrilled to find that my old one was still keeping perfect time. Believe it or not, the ironman watch line with its Indiglo backlit screen is 25 years old! I was considering buying a fancy watch, but who can argue with the durability and utility of the Ironman. And after my loss, the original watch bailed me out.

I’m getting another Ironman!
