Features:

• 100-lap memory with average heart rate per lap
• 4 Linked Interval Timer Workouts with warm-up and cool-down
• 3-Line Display with customizable format
• 8 Target Heart Rate Zones - 5x preset, 3x customizable

The T5F001 is a heart rate monitor watch designed with serious runners in mind and in terms of delivering on the features runners need, we think Timex has hit the nail right on the head!

While loaded with advanced features, this is not to say the watch does not have a certain amount of aesthetic flair in it’s own right, sporting a striking silver face, durable black resin strap, and large buttons for easy access to timing functions - suitable for both men and women, the T5F001 is a looker as well as a performer!

This training watch includes 100-Lap Memory with Recall, a clear 3-Line Digital Display and 4 Linked Interval Timers plus a few extra Timex goodies thrown in for good measure! (more…)

In my last article, I talked about the great new FLIX feature from Timex that activates the INDIGLO night-light feature of your Timex IRONMAN watch, upon a flick of your wrist, without the need to press a button at all!

But this is not the only feature related to the patented INDIGLO technology. NIGHT-MODE mode was engineered due to the amazing reception that INDIGLO received when it was delivered to the market in 1992. It essentially lets your Timex IRONMAN watch know that it is operating in low light conditions, so that it illuminates your watch face at the press of any button.

Here we explore how to use the INDIGLO night light and how to activate NIGHT-MODE.

You may be aware of this, but for completion I’ll add, that to activate the INDIGLO night-light on your Timex IRONMAN watch temporarily, press the INDIGLO button.

Check our diagram for the standard Timex IRONMAN watch layout if you are sure about which button to press.

Upon pressing INDIGLO, the electroluminescent technology used in INDIGLO night-light illuminates the entire watch face at night or in low light conditions. This can be performed at any time, regardless of whether NIGHT-MODE is switched on or switched off.

NIGHT-MODE on the other hand, while switched on, will activate the INDIGLO night-light for a full three seconds when any button is pressed. To switch on NIGHT-MODE, press and hold the INDIGLO button for 4 seconds.

When NIGHT-MODE is active, the Moon icon will appear. The NIGHT-MODE feature will stay active for 8 hours or until deactivated by pressing and holding the INDIGLO button again for 4 seconds.
