This is a decent watch. It is unfortunately, disposable. The pretty blue turns an ugly greyish green after a while, like a month, of serious swimming pool swimming. If you want to keep it blue, don't expose it to chlorine. If you want to take it into a pool regularly, you might want to pick a different color. The band starts to crack after about 2 years. Being resin, there is no way to fix it and there is no way to replace it. (Other Ironman models have replaceable bands.) It also has a tendency not to remain waterproof. No serious depth diving, just regular swimming and after a while it develops a fog under the "crystal" when exposed to water. It dries out, but the waterproofing is clearly not made to last. Mine leaked within the first year, so I sent it back (plus the required $7) and they replaced it under warranty.
Aside from the above mentioned problems, it is a nice watch with a lot of cool features. If you still want to buy this watch, there is an extended warranty you can get for $5 from Timex for 5 years of coverage. I didn't, but it is described in the instructins paper that comes with the watch. It'll cost you $7 plus shipping every time you send it in, but I can assure you you will need to send it in during that time if you wear the watch regularly.
Considering the $5, the $7, the shipping and the cost of the watch, I would recommend an upgrade from the start and that you skip this watch.Buy Timex Women's Ironman Triathlon Sleek 5 Lap Watch #T5B721!
