Review of Timex Men's Ironman 50-Lap Dual-Tech Dress Watch #T5E351

I love using this watch and I love that you can turn the digital display on and off. It has all the functions I want and none that I don't. This is definitely the best blend of tasteful and sporty I could find for the money. It goes with any kind of attire.

Unfortunately, it has a fatal flaw. The band is disintegrating and I can no longer wear it. The band is a soft rubber - actually a really nice matte texture. But it started tearing near a bend point at the clasp. Since then, I lost the race between new tears and my tape and glue repairs. It lasted me about 18 months until that started happening. If only the band was made out of a lasting material, I would have kept this for many years. Curse you Timex!!

If anyone figured out a way to hack the band with something that lasts, please post a follow up. I loved it while it lasted.... For the low cost, maybe I'll replace it every 18 months.

(This is my second watch from Timex and they have each lasted me about this long. Maybe that tells us something. Timex, are you listening?Good.)
