The concept of this innovative sports watch from Timex is to place a normal watch on it’s side so that it is always facing towards your eye-line instead of on top of your wrist and thus eliminating the need to turn your wrist to view the large digital running chronograph.

Designed to be worn on the small, narrow part of wrist, this watch, while distinctively different makes for a much more efficient and enjoyable sporting experience to the wearer.

The Timex OVA Watch features also features an easy to access START/LAP button placed on top of the main watch display. The Timex watch also includes:

• Flexible and breathable plastic band
• 99-lap counter
• 75-lap memory including best lap and average lap time
• Chrono Training Log that stores workouts by date
• Total run Format/Synchro timer
• Two 24hr interval timers with Countdown/stop and Coutdown/repeat
• 2x Time zones
• 3x Alarms
• Built-in setting reminders
• Water resistance to 100m

The Timex OVA Watch comes in six color options: Blue/Silver, Silver/Black, Black/Black Sliver/Blue, Silver/Red and Silver/Orange and two size options: Full-Size and Mid-Size. Full-Size will suit the average sized adult male wrist. The Mid-Size will suit a petite wrist and is best suited to the average sized adult female, or a child.

This watch has some obvious benefits. By minimize or eliminate their wrist movement entirely you can keep track of your running or split times without disrupting the pure form of your sport. This makes the Timex OVA Watch perfect for runners and even better for cyclists who need to maintain an optimal balance at all times.

The opportunities presented by this watch are limitless in all types of sport where you wish to maintain peak concentration.

At around $79.95 on Amazon, the Timex OVA Watch is an inexpensive and innovative sports watch with all the Timex IRONMAN features you expect.

Elite athletes were not the only ones to appreciate the first generation of the watches, although they certainly liked their IRONMAN’s. Soldiers, lawyers and law enforcement personnel wore the time piece – the watch was, after all, designed to take quite a pounding. America’s youth too, were also amongst the early adopters.

In 1992, the Timex IRONMAN watch received it’s first technology revamp – the electroluminescence technology now known as “Indigo” was installed along with a new paint job. Initial runs of the Indigo IRONMANs were the same as the 1986 design, but were black and silver, given a different wrist strap and sold exclusively at K-Mart. They were not made widely available until a year later in early 1993.

Fast-forward to Today and Timex IRONMAN is one of the most recognized timepieces around the world. It continues to be Timex’s best selling brand and the original design is one of the most distinctive world-wide. The line has seen many upgrades to its technology, has been included in the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History, has traveled into space and is worn on every continent on Earth.
