Timex Ironman Triathlon Watch - Inexpensive yet Fashionable

Ironman Triathlon championships are something that we are all aware of. It includes three sports back to back; swimming, biking and a marathon to sum it up. Timex manufactures the watches sprouted with a new plan of improving sales. They felt that adding a sports-tinge to the watch could lead to better reception among the crowd. This idea worked and that gave rise to our esteemed Timex Ironman Triathlon watch.

Since the time that it was released in the market until now, the demand has never weakened in any manner. The reason why this particular variant of sports watches became famous was because of the affordable rates that endeared them to one and all irrespective of their financial status. There are different price ranges of these watches. Depending upon the number of features, the price shoots up. For example, the high tech models of Ironman triathlon watches consist of additional features such as GPS, lap recorder (which is essential to keep track of your lap timings), heart rate monitor, etc.

These watches have become highly famous amongst celebrities, businessmen, lawyers, and so on. The water resistant feature was initially for depths of 100 meters. However, recent models have better water resistance as well as some cosmetic changes that go along well with the current generation. Also, there are watches made exclusively for women. The only modifications done to the watches are reduced size and different color pattern (or say girly colors such as baby pink, violet, etc).

In the year 1992, the first major upgrade was made to these Ironman triathlon watches. It was nothing but the inclusion of INDIGLO. This technology received good response from the customers and soon it was evident that this turned out to be the best feature of the watch which was why people started purchasing them enthusiastically.
