women's athletic watch

1. Posted: Sep 10 2008

   Bought for my wife who used it nearly everyday for about 1.5 years until band cracked and broke. She liked it enough, though not sure if she used all the features. When plastic band broke it could not be replaced or repaired. To me that's a problem when the band breaks and can't be replaced, so much sooner than than watchpiece itself breaks. I suppose that may impact the aesthetic style of the watch, but the replacment I'm I'm looking for will have traditional cloth or leather band. 3 stars for everyday use for 1.5 years. To me the band should at least last 3-5 years ...

   I had purchased my first Iron Man Sleek 50 about five years ago and used it constantly with my classes and personal training clients. Eventually, one of the buttons cracked, but otherwise it still worked perfectly. I decided to update the watch and bought another, from Amazon this time. It's a great, reliable watch, the colors are cool and it performs great.

   I bought this watch for my 12-year-old daughter about a year ago. It's been a good watch for her and she loves it. The lavender surround on the face has started peeling a bit, but it is barely noticable. Considering that my daughter wears this all day every day, I can't complain about the durability. One issue of concern was when my daughter wore the watch while swimming. She has done this on several occasions, but this time, some water leaked into the casing. This caused the inside of the "crystal" to fog up, water droplets to appear inside, and the display began to fade - as if the battery were weak. I opened the watch and dried off all visible moisture then let it sit open for a day. After reassembly, it worked fine. It hasn't been back in the pool yet, so we don't know if the leaking will be an ongoing problem.

   The interval timer function is great - helps to manage run / walk intervals especially over long distances. I bought this watch 5 years ago. It finally broke this past year - the only drawback is that the strap isn't replaceable once it breaks. Just purchased second watch and still quite pleased.

   I am posting this review for my wife, since she actually wears it. She likes the watch very much. The color and lightweight feel are definite positives. The only issue is that some of the buttons are not that intuitive to use (a common problem on digital watches). She uses it for the gym and other excercising with good results.

   If you train using walk breaks or intervals, this is the watch for you. The 2 timers are fantastic. This is my second Sleek and I would get another or buy one for a friend.
